Ms Grede took to Instagram to share snaps from the event which showed her sitting next to the Duchess of Sussex.

Grede wrote regarding the party: “This dinner series is about making that energy ours.

“About women coming together to share openly, trade resources, and help each other get s**t done.

“Because when women choose to collaborate, to champion each other, and to speak honestly about the highs and the hard parts, we don’t just change our own stories.

“Here’s to more seats, more voices, and more women leading, building, and owning their power”.
