Was it just six months ago that I found myself waiting in a beautiful downstairs room inside Clarence House to meet the then Prince of Wales, now King Charles III?
It simultaneously seems just like yesterday and a lifetime ago.
I was invited to Charles’ residence in my role as editor of the Powerlist, an annual publication which celebrates the most influential Black people in Britain. HM (or, as then, HRH) wanted to meet the Powerlist team and Powerlistees as they’re called, to hear more about our work and the people being celebrated.
