Kate Middleton is a total style queen! The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge took to Instagram to share never-before-seen photos from their special day honoring Radio 1's Teen Heroes of 2019 at Kensington Palace earlier this month. For the secret event, Kate rocked a L.K. Bennett's "Gabrielle Coral" midi dress, which is available on the designer's site for £395.00 ($509.66.)
Kate Middleton and Prince William recently welcomed some truly inspirational teenagers into their Kensington Palace home.
Fresh from their successful tour of Pakistan — which saw the royal couple’s plane encounter a dangerous lightning storm over the capital of Islamabad — the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge revealed that they honored the 10 finalists in the BBC Radio 1 Teen Heroes Awards earlier this month.
Kate, who greeted the teens in a vintage silk, 1930s-style midi dress by L.K.Bennett, and William were also joined by singer Camila Cabello.
“I was so honored to be invited to Kensington Palace to meet and celebrate this year’s Teen Hero finalists with the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge,” Cabello told the BBC. “Hearing the incredible things these Teen Heroes have done is so inspirational! Their passion and dedication to help others is amazing and they really blew me away!”
Teen Heroes honors 12 to 17 year olds who inspire others, show courage and bravery or make a difference in their communities. Many have also overcome difficult times to become campaigners, fundraisers, ambassadors or volunteers.
Three winners will be crowned Teen Heroes of 2019 in front of an audience of 14 to 17 year olds at the Radio 1 Teen Awards on Sunday, Nov. 24.
This includes 12-year-old winner Hazel, who lives with a rare genetic disorder called xeroderma pigmentosum (XP) that limits the ability of her body to repair damage caused by UV light.
Despite being advised by doctors to remain indoors from the age of 3, Hazel has made a film and delivered a series of high school speeches to raise awareness of XP. Earlier this year, she also climbed the 3000-ft high Ben Lomond in Scotland, raising $2,500 for charity.
A second winner — 14-year-old Scarlett — has autism and an incurable nerve condition called HNPP, which makes everyday tasks like carrying shopping bags hugely painful. Despite this, she cares for her mother, older sister and grandmother, performing house chores, gardening and walking her grandmother to church on Sunday.
Camila Cabello pulled out all the stops when she performed her new single Liar on the Graham Norton show.
The 22-year-old looked incredible in her red ensemble as she took to the stage in scenes which will be aired on BBC One on Friday evening.
She teamed a very sexy red PVC corset with matching form-fitting trousers and even chose to wear gloves and a choker in the same material.
Camila was in London earlier this month to promote her upcoming album, Romance.
But while in the capital city, she attended a secret reception to celebrate Radio 1's Teen Heroes nominees, which was held at Kensington Palace and saw her rub shoulders with royalty.
Why did Prince William and Kate Middleton invite Camila Cabello over? So, Prince William and Middleton didn’t exactly have Cabello over for tea but they did invite her over to help them honor the 10 finalists in the BBC Radio 1 Teen Heroes Awards.
“I was so honored to be invited to Kensington Palace to meet and celebrate this year’s Teen Hero finalists with the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge,” Cabello told the BBC, according to People. “Hearing the incredible things these Teen Heroes have done is so inspirational! Their passion and dedication to help others is amazing and they really blew me away!”
What are the Radio 1 Teen Heroes Awards? The Teen Heroes Awards recognize 12 to 17-year-olds who inspire others and make a difference in their communities. The program is now in its tenth year.
This year’s winners include Hazel, a 12-year-old who has xeroderma pigmentosum (XP), a genetic disorder that limits how much she can be exposed to UV light. At three years old, doctors told her that she should stay indoors. Instead, she has spent her time climbing mountains and raising money for charity.
The winners will be celebrated on Nov. 24 at the Radio 1 Teen Awards.
Shawn Mendes’ encounter with the royals Cabello isn’t the only pop star who recently had an encounter with the royals. Cabello’s boyfriend Shawn Mendes also had a run-in with Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.
“I’m half British, so my granddad and my nan were there, so it was a massive deal for them,” he said on The Ellen DeGeneres Show of performing for the Queen.
“I’m in this backstage area and I’m standing there waiting to go on stage and the Queen just walks up next to me. And, you can’t say anything, you’re not allowed to speak to her unless she speaks to you first.”
