A ward-winning hair colourist to royalty and the stars Daniel Galvin Jr was bursting with pride last week as he received an MBE from the Prince of Wales at St James’s Palace.
And as Prince Charles presented the distinctive medal – awarded in honour of his work for the Prince’s Trust – they chatted like old friends.
“It was the most surreal, magical experience of my life, second only to the birth of my son Rhett,” says Daniel in this exclusive interview and photoshoot with hello!. “The Prince told me: ‘Well deserved,’ then turned to my mum next to me and said: ‘You must be proud of your son; he’s been very loyal.’
“He asked about my business and we talked about the trust,” continues Daniel, an ambassador for the charity for 21 years. “Instead of pinning the MBE medal to my lapel, it was presented on a cushion to avoid direct contact because of Covid safety rules.
