The Duchess of Sussex has interrupted her six-week break from royal duties to pay tribute to the Hubb Community Kitchen.
Meghan’s Instagram account, which she shares with her husband Prince Harry, 35, praised the women for their ‘leadership and inspiration’ in a post this afternoon.
The mother-of-one, 38, first visited the west London centre in 2018, when it was set up by a number of local women to provide meals to neighbours affected by the Grenfell fire.
Since then, the duchess has made several other private trips to the kitchen and helped them produce a cookbook, which has raised over £500,000 for the charity.
Today’s post marked a year since Meghan’s first official royal engagement at the kitchen when she brought the camera with her.
Harry and Meghan, who share son Archie together, shared the message despite being on a six-week break from royal duties.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are currently taking a six-week break from royal duties.
They are understood to be in the US with their seven-month-old son Archie, where reports suggest the couple spent Thanksgiving with close family.
Despite their break, Meghan continues to lend support to causes important to her, and shared a pre-recorded message for the launch of Uyinene Mrwetyana Foundation on Friday.
The Duchess had visited a memorial to South African student in September during the royal tour, and tied a ribbon in memory of the 19-year-old.
Uyinene Mrwetyana was raped and murdered after visiting a post office, sparking outrage across the country.
