I reflect back on the 40th anniversary of the Prince's Trust event taking place at Buckingham Palace

I started my business journey with the Prince's Trust many years ago, and I'm certainly not shy to say that it is thank to their support that my experience as a young business woman and ambassador has been such a positive and successful experience. I was so excited therefore, when we received an invitation to attend the 40th anniversary celebration at Buckingham Palace!


It was a fantastic morning and we got to meet some people who have throughout my life been such huge inspirations, such as Martin Clunes, and Colin Jackson who we sat and shared our afternoon tea with. During the day we also filmed a few bits with This Morning's Holly Willoughby and Alison Hammond. I was certainly not disappointed and everyone I spoke to was just as lovely and inspirational in person as they were throughout my life seeing them on their shows.


Me and my Husband also had the huge honour of meeting His Majesty The King (former Prince) Charles. Unfortunately I was pregnant at the time with my son, and struggling a bit with morning sickness, so I offered a polite wave and a quick hello and then politely excused myself (I don't think it would have gone down all too well if I'd stayed too long and been caught out with it mid-conversation...).


Overall it was a fantastic day and a hugely fun experience, I learnt so much and met so many amazing and friendly people and it's a memory I still treasure to this day. We ended the event by walking the gardens with the vamps, as you do!
