Meghan Markle has thrown her support behind Grenfell survivors who have launched a campaign to feed Londoners during the coronavirus lockdown.
Meghan, 38, took part in a video conference last week with members of the Hubb Community Kitchen, which was set up in the wake of the Grenfell Tower disaster to feed survivors and their families.
The Duchess showed her support by releasing a charity cookbook to benefit the community kitchen and has maintained close ties with the group since.
From Monday, the Hubb Community Kitchen will cook between 250 and 300 meals a day, three days a week, to be distributed to elderly and vulnerable people in London.

Speaking to ET Online , Project Angel Food’s executive director Richard Ayoub told how the couple contacted the charity after learning its drivers are ‘overloaded’ needed more support as they try and feed people during quarantine.
