Garcia’s family said Meghan and Harry were ‘loving and supportive’
Garcia, 48, was one of two teachers killed alongside 19 children by shooter Salvador Ramos.
Posting on Twitter, Garcia’s nephew John Martinez said: “Meghan Markle and Prince Harry came to my house!
“They’re such a beautiful couple and I’m so blessed – so glad they came to check up on the family.
“Can’t believe how loving and supportive they are especially to my amazing cousins.
“What a great experience to be a part of.
“Meghan Markle singing my mom Happy Birthday was the cutest, most adorable thing ever – she even bought her a cake.”
The Sussexes’ visit to Uvalde comes after parents were left furious by an official probe into the shooting.
Local cops waited outside the school for more than an hour during the slaughter – even though children inside had called 911 begging for help.
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.
