The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge proved themselves to be impeccable hosts as they held a special event at Kensington Palace earlier this month. Prince William and Kate invited Radio 1's Teen Heroes of 2019 to their London residence for a meeting, where they were joined by Camilla Cabello and BBC Radio 1 DJs Clara Amfo and Greg James.
Photos shared after the event have given a glimpse inside Kensington Palace, and the impressive spread that was put on for the royals' guests, including plates of sandwiches, cake and fruit lining a wooden table sat in front of the window.

The Duke and Duchess appeared in good spirits as they mingled with their guests in a large drawing room, which had pale cream walls and hardwood flooring topped with a large antique rug. At one end of the room there is a traditional fireplace with ornate marble surround, where Prince William, Kate, Clara and Camilla lined up to meet their guests.

This is the fourth consecutive year that Radio 1's Teen Heroes have been honoured with an invitation to the Palace. The ten finalists were praised by the Duke and Duchess for their inspirational work, and had the once-in-a-lifetime experience of meeting the royals at their family home.

The reception took place just a stone's throw away from Apartment 1A, where Prince William and Kate live with their children Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis. Their home previously belonged to Princess Margaret and boasts five reception rooms, three main bedrooms, dressing rooms, a night and day nursery, and staff quarters.
