The founders of North Ayrshire-based mental health charity Megan’s Space have spoken of feeling “privileged and honoured” after receiving a coveted invitation to Princess Kate’s Together carol service earlier this month.
The Copelands were among just four representatives from their region selected to attend the Princess of Wales’ annual festive gathering, which has quickly become a highlight of the royal calendar.
Their invitation, delivered by the Lord Lieutenant of Ayrshire, gave them a front row seat at a service broadcast on ITV and focused on the theme of “love in all forms”, spotlighting volunteers and community champions from across the UK.
The couple described the evening as both enchanting and deeply emotional and said it was particularly moving to see Megan’s Space recognized on such a prominent national stage.
Being around senior members of the royal family, including the Princess of Wales herself, added to the sense of occasion.
Her space was founded in 2019 following the devastating loss of the couple’s daughter, Megan, who died by suicide.
Since then, the charity’s work providing vital mental health support to young people and families clearly caught the attention of the future Queen.
Since its launch, the charity has become a quiet force for good across North Ayrshire, offering counseling services to those seeking help and hope.
