I am devastated by the death of our beloved Sovereign HRH Queen Elizabeth II, a dedicated leader who worked hard for her country and whose loss will be deeply felt throughout the country. I had the privilege of meeting HRH the Queen on numerous occasions and I will never forget her kindness, smile and love for her people. My most cherished memory of those occasions was in Buckingham Palace surrounded by my family, where I was awarded by Her Majesty an OBE for my outstanding contribution to the Fashion Industry Thank you ma’am for your devotion, it has truly been an inspiring example to all.
