In a phone call from her California home yesterday, Meghan chatted to women gathered for a celebratory lunch at the Al-Manaar centre in north Kensington, yards from the tower.

Meghan wrote the foreword for the Hubb’s Together cookbook, which was published to raise funds for a renovation of the kitchen that provided meals for bereaved and homeless local people after the June 2017 tragedy, which claimed 72 lives.

In her call, she said: “We founded Hubb together and I think what I’m most proud of is what you’ve all been able to do, not just what we created to meet an immediate need right after the fire.
