A handful of carers were nominated for the event for by GMB for their dedication, commitment and tireless work.
Ruth Pitchford, Care Worker, said:
"To be nominated for the work we do is an honour, but to be selected to meet the King and Queen was amazing.
“It was fantastic to speak to so many others who work in the care sector and to speak personally to Sophie.
“I felt she really listened to the issues we face and how care needs to be funded: free at the point of use, with staff respected and paid fairly.
“GMB is the union for care workers and I'm proud to work in care.”
