Real Women's Stories with Lisa Quait

Show Notes

You won't believe what really happens when you’re invited to Windsor Castle to receive an MBE.

In this bonus episode, Lucy McCarraher shares the surreal story of receiving the letter she initially feared might be a tax demand, before discovering she was being recognised with an MBE.

From arriving at Windsor Castle with her family to learning exactly how to approach Prince William, where to bow and how many steps to take backwards, Lucy takes us behind the scenes of an experience very few people ever get to have.

You can hear Lucy’s full interview in the previous episode of Real Women’s Stories.
