The Royal Foundation’s 2023 annual report has been released – and it shows the impact Meghan Markle had before she left the Firm.
The Royal Foundation’s 2023 annual report has just been published and it gives a new insight into Meghan Markle’s impact on the Firm.
The 44-page document shows that the Duchess of Sussex’s charity cookbook that she launched in 2018 to raise funds for families affected by the Grenfell fire made a sales income of £84,540 last year.
Figures show that the financial impact of her cookbook, titled Together: Our Community Cookbook, was more The Royal Foundation raised for Mental Health & Emergency Responders programmes and funded more grants than the Early Years & Emergency Responders.
But Prince William’s Earthshot prize brought in just under £1.3million and his homeless project brought in just under £1.6m, though £1.5m was spent on costs.
Since the cookbook was launched, a project that marked Meghan’s first since joining the Royal Family, it has raised an impressive £911,000.

The Royal Foundation’s chart showing Meghan’s impact
Meghan, who married into the family in May 2018, hasn’t been a patron for The Royal Foundation since 2019 – nor a senior working royal since early 2020.
Royal Suitor shared the findings on their X page and many Sussex fans shared their thoughts on Meghan’s impact on the Foundation.
Noting Meghan’s “remarkable” work, one wrote: “The Hubb Community Cookbook will have a lasting impact on British communities for years to come, a testament to Meghan’s remarkable achievements during her tenure as working member of the Royal Family.”
Another wrote: “Amazing that Meghan’s first solo project continues to have such an impact. Love that she restricted the profits from the sale of the cookbook. Five years on and they still have to write about its success.”

A third commented: “The duchess of impact. the meghan markle effect never fails”, whilst another simply wrote, “Beyond impressive!”
‘Together’ was created by women volunteering at a local kitchen to provide food for those who lost their homes during the Grenfell fire.
Speaking at the launch of ‘Together’ at Kensington Palace in September 2018, Meghan said: “Working on this project for the past nine months has been a tremendous labour of love.”
Meghan, who has been privately visiting the cooks, added: “I had just recently moved to London and I felt so immediately embraced by the women in the kitchen – your warmth, your kindness, and also to be able to be in this city and to see in this one small room how multi-cultural it was.”
