Meghan Markle might be
5,459 miles away from London, but on Tuesday, her mind was with the survivors
and bereaved families from the Grenfell Tower fire as they marked the tragedy’s
fifth anniversary.
Back in 2018, months after the
Duchess of Sussex officially joined the royal family, she helped create a
charity cookbook helping families affected as her first solo project.
And on Tuesday, she made sure
she reached out to them on a very important day, even if it was just by sending
them a voice note.
Taking to their official
Instagram account, the Hubb Community Kitchen wrote: “Today is a day spent
looking back, remembering and reflecting.

“I just found this
picture of us all, on the day our cookbook came out. The Duchess had wrapped a
book for each one of us and wrote a lovely message to each lady on the first
page.”
They continued: “Always
very thoughtful, today we received a lovely voice message from the Duchess,
being the 5 years’ anniversary of the Grenfell tragedy, asking how we are,
about our children and families and giving us news of hers. Just being her
beautiful kind self.”

Last year, Meghan, who wrote
the foreword for the Hubb’s Together cookbook, which was published to raise
funds for a renovation of the kitchen that provided meals for bereaved and
homeless local people after the June 2017 tragedy, which claimed 72 lives, called
the A-Mannar centre.
In her call, she said:
“We founded Hubb together and I think what I’m most proud of is what
you’ve all been able to do, not just what we created to meet an immediate need
right after the fire.
“If you go back to where
it all began you just didn’t have a place to cook and people forget that’s what
it came down to, needing the resources to do what you do so well — as we all
know because we can taste it. But also to do it together and how…the cookbook
ended up having the impact we wanted because it raised enough to get you all
the help in the kitchen you needed.”
