The highlight of my year was my two audiences with Her Majesty the Queen of Malaysia at the Malaysian High Commission in London in May, which was such an unforgettable appearances.
A few days earlier, we saw several members of the British Royal Family and numerous Foreign Royals in London on the eve of the Coronation of King Charles III and Queen Camilla.
I also had a wonderful day with friends on the day of the Coronation of King Charles III and Queen Camilla, being a part of this historic occasion.
