Heather James recalled the heartwarming moment Prince William arrived to present her late daughter Dame Deborah James with her Damehood in her garden.
On Loose Women, she explained the family only found out the evening before that the Prince of Wales would be coming to the house to meet Deborah and enjoy a champagne afternoon tea.
Heather said: "We thought, 'What will be, will be.' We threw blankets over the tired sofas and he walked in, and Deborah and I thought, 'How do you address him?'
