Bridgerton star Nicola Coughlan, known for her role as Penelope Featherington in the smash Netflix hit, has raised $2 million for a charity supporting Palestinian children.
Earlier this year, she launched an Instagram fundraiser for the Palestine Children’s Relief Fund (PCRF) before the release of the second part of the popular Netflix series.
Nicola told her followers that any donations would bring “hope and solidarity to the children and families who now need it most”.
The organisation PCRF received contributions from a number of celebrities, including American singer-songwriter Gracie Abrams, presenter Vick Hope, Love Island winner Amber Gill, chart-topping artist Bebe Rexha, and actor Nolan Gould from Modern Family.
In an Instagram post, PCRF thanked Nicola for her support of the organisation and her fundraising efforts on behalf of Palestinian children, with the caption, “Thank you to actress and ‘Bridgerton’ star Nicola Coughlan for your incredible support of PCRF and your fundraising efforts which totaled an astonishing $2M USD in support of our Urgent Gaza Relief and Recovery efforts.Thank you for using your voice to inspire support for peace and impacting the lives of thousands of displaced children and families in dire need, providing them with humanitarian aid and medical relief. 💙
