But a new report by city officials defended the botched police response - blaming victims' families for holding cops up.

Some grieving families stormed out in anger while the report was presented yesterday.

Among those present was Kimberly Mata-Rubio, whose daughter was among those killed in the attack.

She said: "You said they did it in good faith. You call that good faith?

"They stood there for 77 minutes."

Meghan Markle has long been a supporter of Uvalde victims - laying flowers at a memorial two days after the horrific shooting in 2022.

It comes after Meghan joined a star panel at a Texas arts festival to give a keynote speech for International Women's Day on Friday.

Meghan revealed she was cyber bullied when pregnant with Archie & Lilibet while a supportive Harry watched from the front row.

The duchess also lauded Harry a "hands-on dad" and "incredible partner" during the panel discussion.
