Meghan’s having a moment

-

The Duchess of Sussex has been making secret visits to a Grenfell community group who have been cooking together following the fatal fire last June.

The trips were so secret she took only a small camera crew with her, all the better to make a tiny film to promote the cookbook the women have produced.

Meghan appears in the glossy film, which has the production values of a pop video, looking pretty in an apron as she stirs pots and chats.

She is supporting the book in the hope it will raise funds to keep the kitchen open seven days a week. Not only does it produce fresh food for Grenfell survivors, it acts as a community hub, too.

In the book’s foreword, Meghan writes of her delight at hearing ‘the flutter of different languages’ in the kitchen. At her book launch yesterday, she praised London for being a city ‘that can have so much diversity’.

There ain’t much diversity on the royal compound where she lives.

And while it would be wrong to think the caring Duchess is using the people of Grenfell to burnish her own caring credential­s, isn’t there something a tiny bit self- serving at the heart of this endeavour?
