Duchess Meghan visits all-women bakery in London to celebrate grand opening


Duchess Meghan stopped by an all-female run bakery in London earlier this week for the grand opening of their second store. The visit was not announced by the palace ahead of time.

A video posted to the Duke and Duchess of Sussex's Instagram page shows Meghan at Luminary Bakery celebrating the occasion. She even participated in decorating a three tiered cake while wearing an apron.

Megan was dressed casually in jeans and a white and navy striped blouse tucked into her pants. She paired the look with white sneakers. 

"Her Royal Highness was proud to be invited to attend the launch of their second bakery," the caption read.

More photos shared to the Instagram page show the former Meghan Markle interacting with the women and cutting the cake she helped decorate. 

Luminary Bakery is a grassroots organization that provides opportunities for disadvantaged women who've survived domestic abuse, violence and sex-trafficking among other struggles. 

"It was a special moment to acknowledge the spirit of Luminary and their remarkable business model that opens its arms to women from vulnerable circumstances (be it abuse, poverty, trafficking, marginalisation) and equips them with the job skills and confidence to succeed," the Duke and Duchess of Sussex's Instagram page read alongside the video of Duchess Meghan.
