This clever fashion technique was most recently used on the 20 September at the launch for Together (see above), a charity cookbook which has been published to help those affected by the Grenfell Tower fire.

Speaking at the event, Meghan, who has been working with campaigners on the book, said it had been a “labour of love” – and revealed that she had only recently moved to London when she came to cook with a group of women at a Muslim cultural centre in North Kensington, after the devastating fire.

“I had just recently moved to London and I felt so immediately embraced by the women in the kitchen – your warmth, your kindness, and also to be able to be in this city and to see in this one small room how multicultural it was,” said the duchess.

Speaking from a marquee in Perk’s Field close to Kensington Palace, Meghan added of the family chefs: “On a personal level I feel so proud to live in a city that can have so much diversity – 12 countries represented in this one group of women.”

The Royal Foundation is administering the transfer of funds from the sale of Together to the Hubb Community Kitchen and related projects, and profits will help keep the kitchen open for up to seven days a week and to widen its reach to others in the community.
