Duchess Meghan has always been a humanitarian from her days serving food to the homeless on Skid Row in LA as a little girl, to providing clean water to children in Rwanda or sanitary pads to girls in India. She has always been a champion for helping the less fortunate.

Duchess Meghan is known for her discernible palate. She is a foodie at heart and so supporting Hubb Community Kitchen is just so Meghan. Duchess Meghan spoke of lending her voice to causes that she believes in. The Cookbook was the brainchild of the Duchess who saw it as a means to raise funds for the kitchen. Duchess Meghan brought her American entrepreneurial spirit  and thought of the idea of the cookbook to help raise money for the community that was healing from the aftermath of the Grenfell Tower fire. She also brought her social media prowess by engaging with Royal fans directly with a video and dropping it on social media platforms such as Instagram and Twitter bypassing the mainstream media to promote brand Windsor.

Duchess Meghan lent her influence to this worthwhile cause, which brings together her love for women’s empowerment and food with the hope of bringing communities together. She did so while adding a new achievement under the belt, that of Amazon bestselling author. The Duchess worked collaboratively with industry insiders. The book in pre-release sales has overtaken bestselling author JK Rawlings all the while raising funds for a worthy cause.

The Hubb Kitchen was opened to support the community that was affected by the Grenfell Tower fire in 2017. The Hubb kitchen is meant to bring communities together in love and shared cultural experiences.

Why the Duchess of Sussex supports the charity cookbook

I immediately felt connected to this community kitchen; it is a place for women to laugh, grieve, cry and cook together. Melding cultural identities under a shared roof, it creates a space to feel a sense of normalcy – in its simplest form, the universal need to connect, nurture, and commune through food, through crisis or joy – something we can all relate to… Through this charitable endeavour, the proceeds will allow the kitchen to thrive and keep the global spirit of community alive.
