Dame Laura Kenny is showing us a photo on her phone. Looking radiant in a yellow Jenny Packham dress, she is standing outside Windsor Castle with her husband, cyclist Sir Jason Kenny, and their four-year-old son Albie, after receiving her damehood.
“Deep down I wanted it to be Prince William if I could pick any royal other than the Queen,” says Laura, still giddy from the ceremony last month, in which Jason was also knighted for his services to cycling.
“Will said he’d seen my Instagram post about my miscarriage and ectopic pregnancy. I wasn’t expecting that.”
