Kate Middleton was reunited with the royals’ family friend as she opened a new family-friendly residential centre in Southampton on Tuesday.
Kate, 41, visited the Hope Street Centre, designed to provide a safe environment for women and their children as they go through the courts.
She was shown around the facility by Lady Edwina Grosvenor, who is the founder and chairwoman of One Small Thing – the charity behind the centre.
Lady Edwina Grosvenor, 41, is a goddaughter of the late Diana, Princess of Wales, while her younger brother, Huge Grosvenor, is the 7th Duke of Westminster and also, Prince George’s godfather.
Hugh and Lady Edwina are two of the late Gerald Grosvenor, 6th Duke of Westminster’s children, along with Lady Tamara van Cutsem and Lady Viola Roberts.
As well as founding One Small Thing, which aims to redesign the justice system for women and their children, Lady Edwina is a founding investor and Ambassador of the Clink Restaurant chain, which trains prisoners for work in the catering industry.
Lady Edwina graduated from Northumbria University having studied criminology and sociology in 2005 and obtained a master’s degree in Criminology and Crime Scene Management at Solent University in August 2021.
She also sits on the advisory board to the Centre for Criminology in the Faculty of Law at the University of Oxford and is patron of Paladin, which is the country’s only national stalking advocacy service.
She married British TV presenter Dan Snow in an intimate wedding ceremony in November 2010 in Woolton, Liverpool. The couple share three children.
Lady Edwina and Dan were among the guests at Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s royal wedding at St George’s Chapel in Windsor in May 2018.
