Per BBC, the Teen Heroes were praised by  Prince George ’s parents for their dedication to helping others. Radio 1’s Teen Awards, which is now in it’s 10th year, is the biggest teen event in the pop music calendar and shines a light on some of the UK’s most inspirational teens. The Duke and Duchess have invited finalists to the palace in previous years.

Camila, 22, was “honored” to join the royals at the reception.
