Meghan Markle secretly visited a mosque in London

"Meghan's visits mean so much to us. She has a special place in our hearts."

American actress and soon-to-be British royal, Meghan Markle, has been making secret visits to a mosque in London to comfort victims of the Grenfell Tower fire, according to media reports. 

As part of her private visits to those affected by the disaster, Markle reportedly went to Al Manaar community mosque, located near the tower in west London.

According to The Telegraph, princes Harry and William, as well as Queen Elizabeth, had visited the mosque following the fire to express solidarity with the victims.

"She has a special place in our hearts"

Markle, who is set to wed Prince Harry in May, had stated in her engagement announcement that she is giving up her acting career to focus on philanthropy. 

As part of her humanitarian efforts, Markle has been visiting survivors and relatives of the victims of the Grenfell Tower tragedy, which killed 71 people in June 2017.

"Meghan has been regularly making private visits to organisations as she gets to know the UK charity sector," a source told The Telegraph

"Meghan's visits mean so much to us," a leading Grenfell community member told Mirror. "She has a special place in our hearts."

Among the centers Markle has visited is Al Manaar community mosque, which had offered victims temporary shelter after the fire. 

"Anyone of any faith or no faith is welcome to walk in to have some rest, sleep, and/or have some water and food," the mosque had announced in a statement at the time. 

Saudi Arabia just discovered 2,000-year-old camel rock art

There are 4,000 registered archaeological sites in Saudi Arabia, of which 1,500 are rock art.

A few weeks ago, Saudi Arabia stole the spotlight with its annual camel beauty pageant, which saw more than twelve camels get disqualified for botox use.

Now, a newly discovered "Camel Site" in the kingdom is taking the world by storm. Life-sized images of camels were found carved into large rocks in an inhospitable area in Al Jawf province, believed to date back 2,000 years. 

After being explored by a Franco-Saudi research team over the past two years, the researchers were able to "identify a dozen or so reliefs representing camels," according to The Daily Mail.

The "camelid sculptures [are] unlike any others in the region. They are thought to date back to the first centuries BC or AD," a press release from the National Center for Scientific Research (CNRS), which participated in the study, read.

The study was conducted by both researchers at CNRS in France and the Saudi Commission for Tourism and National Heritage (SCTH).

Research engineer at CNRS, Guillaume Charloux, explained that although "natural erosion has partly destroyed some of the works, as well as any traces of tools, we were able to identify a dozen or so reliefs of varying depths representing camelids and equids," according to Daily Mail.

Scientists suggest the site may have once been a "place of worship, or that the camels were used as boundary markers". However, no additional artifacts were found at the site that could confirm the origins of the rock art, which depict social and religious events. 

According to the Bradshaw Foundation, there are 4,000 registered archaeological sites in Saudi Arabia, of which 1,500 are rock art. 

The "earliest examples of rock art date from the early Neolithic, around 12,000 BP, and this form of expression endured until the advent of the Islamic period, c. 650 AD".
