She continued, “On a personal level, I feel so proud to live in this city that can have so much diversity. There’s 12 countries represented in this one group of women. It’s pretty outstanding.”
Meghan noted that this was her “first project,” adding even more meaning to the special occasion.
At one point,Prince Harryand Ragland exchanged a smile, clearly proud of Meghan’s work.

Meghan, 37, made sure to keep her speech short and sweet so guests could start munching on the feast they had created at the royal couple’s palace home using recipes from the cookbook: Coconut chicken curry, aubergine masala and chapatis.
“I know some have started eating — as you should, I’m the last one who’d want the food to get cold — so please enjoy a beautiful lunch,” the former actress said before asking for another round of applause for the members of the kitchen.
