Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have dissolved their Sussex Royal foundation but they've used the remaining funds from the foundation to support a cause close to their hearts.

Migrateful, a UK based charity announced on Twitter that they received a donation in behalf of the Duchess of Sussex.

"We're so excited to share that we have received a donation of £8000 from The Royal Foundation on behalf of The Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle!" The tweet read.

"We are immensely grateful for this donation which will go towards supporting the Migrateful mission"

Migrateful is a charity that "empowers and celebrates refugees and vulnerable migrants on their journey to integration by supporting them to run their own cookery classes."

According to their website, the charity hope 'the cookery classes will provide ideal conditions not just for learning English and building confidence, but also for promoting contact and cultural exchange with the wider community.'

Cooking has been a passion of Meghan's for a while, with her one of her first projects as a royal family member was helping the Hubb Community Kitchen create a cookbook.

The cookbook, Together: Our Community Cookbook raised funds to help victims of the 2017 Grenfell fire.

The Duke and Duchess shut down SussexRoyal early in July 2020, as they were giving up their roles as senior working royals they would no longer be able to use the word "Royal" in any of their branding.
