"I was also really happy as well, when I found out that we would be going to The Palace and we would be meeting Will and Kate. "

She adds: "I spoke to them about how I got a Diana award for being an anti-bullying champion. And obviously, that was something that William was really passionate about. "

Rachel , Scarlett and Hazel the this year's teen heroes

Scarlett is a young carer to her mum, older sister and granny.

Both Scarlett and her mum have an incurable nerve condition called, which can make everyday activities like carrying shopping bags extremely painful.

"It was overwhelming and you kind of question why people would think it was a heroic act," she says about finding out that she'd been named a teen hero.

"Those are just things that you'd normally do for your family. So it's not really something you expect to be awarded for. "

Love Island 's Amber and Ovie were at the Teen Awards

Hazel lives with a rare genetic disorder called (XP) which limits The Body 's ability to repair damage caused by UV light.

She's since learnt How To manage the condition safely in her daily life, and raises awareness through campaigns such as climbing the 900m Ben Lomond mountain in Scotland and giving talks to schools.
