As they greeted each other, one woman said “it’s been too long”, and Meghan replied “at least five years” and a few minutes later they were joined by Harry, who was also embraced by the women, as one said: “We’ve missed you so much”.
Meghan wrote the foreword to Together, a collection of global dishes by women from the Grenfell community and others, published in 2018, which raised almost £800,000 to expand their culinary work at the Al-Manaar mosque in north Kensington.
The Duke and Duchess also toured a nearby foodbank and warehouse run by Himmah, which provides up to 1,500 bags of groceries to families in Nottingham every month.
The couple helped volunteers pack the carrier bags with tinned vegetables and some sweet treats, but Harry quickly spotted what he claimed was a flaw in their system.
