The group of volunteers confirmed that the monarch took time to quiz them on their work in supporting people from a variety of backgrounds and further encouraged them to work together in future now they had met each other.
Pastor Dai Hankey, from Cardiff, called the Queen “genuinely buzzing” to hear the community leaders networking amongst themselves.
Following his conversation with the monarch, he said: “She was very aware. You get the impression that people who live in palaces aren’t aware of the outside world, but she really does know what’s going on in the world and especially the UK.
“That’s quite humbling, hearing her speaking about asylum seekers and asking questions.
“It’s encouraging that she really cares.
“She seemed genuinely buzzing that the room was buzzing.”
The pastor leads Red Community, a charity that supports survivors of human trafficking in Wales.
“When she mentioned asylum seekers, she said (she) imagined there’s more people being asylum seekers and refugees at any time before because people are moving around the world so much,” he added.
“It’s a very aware comment, you know what I mean?”
That's our Lizzie!
