From Town & Country

  • Meghan Markle and Prince Harry announced their plan to step down as senior members of the royal family earlier this week.

  • Political commentator Damon Evans encouraged Twitter users to order Together: Our Community Cookbook in support of the great work Duchess Meghan has done.

  • Amazon UK confirms that there has been a "considerable increase" in sales of Meghan's cookbook over the past few days.

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's decision to step down as senior members of the British royal family has left fans shocked. But the important work that the Duchess of Sussex has achieved since joining the royal family has not been forgotten, and a plethora of fans have taken to social media to celebrate her amazing accomplishments to date.

Importantly, Meghan has worked with a number of small charities and community groups to boost the work of women throughout the United Kingdom, including Hubb Community Kitchen, which supports women displaced by the Grenfell Fire disaster.

After hearing criticism about the duchess amid her decision to step down, political commentator Damon Evans tweeted, "Watched a load of videos of her and concluded: it’s not about what they’ve done wrong, it’s about what she represents: feminism, activism, diversity etc. All the things ‘they’ hate." He explained that one of the best ways fans could show their support for Meghan was to order a copy of Together: Our Community Cookbook, which the duchess worked with women at the Hubb Community Kitchen to create.

An Amazon UK spokesperson has since confirmed to BAZAAR.com that there has been a "considerable increase" in sales of the cookbook over the past week. The Twitter campaign and Meghan and Harry's visit to the Hubb Community Kitchen, photos of which the couple shared on Instagram, seem to have reminded people of the brilliant work that the duchess has been involved in.

Per the cookbook, "The Royal Foundation is administering the transfer of funds from the sales of Together to the Hubb Community Kitchen and related community projects," meaning that yet another initiative in support of the Sussexes has raised funds for charity.

Earlier this week, The Duke and Duchess of Sussex returned to visit the women of The Hubb Community Kitchen and “Together, Our Community Cookbook.” These women came together in the wake of the Grenfell tragedy to cook meals for their families and neighbours who had been displaced from the fire. With funds from the successful cookbook, they have now been able to share their spirit of community with so many more. The Hubb continues to work with local organisations to build hope, bring comfort and provide not simply a warm meal, but with it, a sense of togetherness. The Duke and Duchess were so happy to reconnect with the women and hear about the projects they continue to develop to help those in their community and beyond. Image © SussexRoyal
