00:00Really nice to get you here today. We thought we'd give you a special garden party.

00:06I was supposed to go to a garden party, but we got stuck in traffic.

00:12My mum put out a tweet. The Queen's team said,

00:16so sad that you didn't make the garden party today.

00:21We found out that I was having a private one with another person called Lila.

00:26We couldn't come to the garden party last month because I was in hospital.

00:30We sat around the table and we just chatted for a bit.

00:33We had some little cookies and sandwiches and tea.

00:38And the Queen gave me my BEL today. Very happy.
