The Duchess of Sussex delivered a profoundly moving moment during a visit with survivors of the Grenfell Tower disaster, drawing a powerful and unexpected connection to the legacy of Princess Diana.
Meghan Markle, during an event to promote the 'Together: Our Community Cookbook'—a project she helped launch to support those affected by the 2017 fire—reportedly left attendees emotional after speaking about her late mother-in-law's unparalleled approach to humanitarian work.
A Legacy of Hands-On Compassion
According to sources present, the Duchess reflected on how Princess Diana was famously unafraid to 'get her hands dirty' and truly connect with people from all walks of life. In a heartfelt address, Meghan expressed her deep admiration for this quality and her desire to honour that same spirit of genuine, grassroots engagement in her own work.
The cookbook itself is a testament to this ethos. It features recipes from the Hubb Community Kitchen, a group of women who banded together after the devastating fire to cook for their community. The project, championed by Meghan, has helped fund the kitchen's operations and become a symbol of resilience and unity.
An Emotional Response
Those in attendance were reportedly deeply touched by the Duchess's sincerity and her clear commitment to their cause. Her words were seen not as a mere comparison, but as a sincere acknowledgment of the type of impactful, personal charity she strives to continue.
The event highlights Meghan's ongoing dedication to using her platform to support community-led initiatives and her focus on causes that champion togetherness and healing in the face of tragedy.
