32. Meghan Markle — Creator of "Together: Our Community Cookbook"

While perhaps not the most obvious choice on this list, The Duchess of Sussex made a statement when she chose to make her first solo project as a royal the launch of a charity cookbook.

Markle had the idea for "Together: Our Community Cookbook" after she met the women at the Hubb Community Kitchen, a group of women who came together after the 2017 Grenfell Tower fire in west London to prepare fresh food for their families and neighbours.

The book features 50 recipes from the women at Hubb, as well as a foreword from Markle, and a portion of the proceeds from its sales go towards the community.

Speaking at the book launch last year, Markle said: "The power of food is more than just the meal itself. It is the story behind it. And when you get to know the story of the recipe, you get to know the person behind it."
