Hide AdMrs Bellamy raised £1,250 in a skydive last summer for Place2be, a children’s mental health charity, who Kate is the patron for.
She said: “It was a dream come true to meet her.
“I told her about how I lost a close family member to suicide last year and how important it is to get early intervention.
“She said she was sorry and I thanked her for everything that the charity is doing for mental health.”
It is not the first time that Mrs Bellamy has met a member of the Royal family.
