The Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle, is not only a style icon, but a philanthropic one as well! She's been privately lending her time to the Hubb Kitchen, a community kitchen set up by women affected by the Grenfell Tower fire.
Markle learned that the kitchen could only afford to run for two days a week, and has "continued to make regular private visits" since visiting back in January, according to @KensingtonRoyal.
The Duchess of Sussex first visited the kitchen in January, and has continued to make regular private visits.

Now the Duchess and the kitchen are coming out with Together: Our Community Cookbook, where profits from the sales will "support the Hubb Community Kitchen, helping to keep it open for up to seven days a week and to widen its reach to others in the community."
