As Maya Jama attended the King’s garden party on Wednesday it was just the latest show of support for the monarch in a long-standing friendship that has blossomed through the desire to help others.

Dressed in a blue-patterned dress and matching hat, the Love Island host, 29, greeted King Charles, 75, and Queen Camilla, 76, and reminisced about her previous work – and awkward faux pas – with the monarch’s charity, the Prince’s Trust.

She has previously attended fundraisers such as the Prince’s Trust charity gala in 2022 and was also photographed meeting Charles in his role as the Prince of Wales at a trust event in 2019.

At the garden party, Jama, who is dating rap star Stormzy, was humble about her previous encounters with the King as she apologised for previously breaking royal protocol.

The TV host said: ‘Nice to meet you. Well, I’ve actually met you before, a long time ago. About something with the Prince’s Trust and I touched you. I wasn’t supposed to. This time I won’t.’

King’s playful response to Maya Jama: Don’t worry about it!
