After the ceremony she said: "It was an absolute pleasure to be at Buckingham Palace today. I'm proud to be British, honoured and humbled to receive my OBE from the Duke of Cambridge.

I'm so happy to share this very special occasion with my parents and husband; without their love and support, none of this would be possible." David took to his Instagram page to praise his wife, writing: "Today was a special day, this young lady was awarded an OBE and as a family we couldn't be prouder...
