The HMT Empire Windrush’s June 21, 1948 arrival in London brought over 1,000 people from the Caribbean to the U.K. Since then, the term “Windrush generation” has been applied to people who relocated to the United Kingdom between 1948 and 1973, particularly those from the Caribbean.

Having William and Kate visit with members of the Windrush generation, and listen to the contributions they’ve made to the community was a special moment, according to Professor Uzo Iwobi, the founder of Race Council Cymru who oversees the work of Windrush Cymr.
“They’ve shone a light on a community that has been written out of history,”Iwobi told PEOPLEof the couple’s visit. “It is a light that cannot be extinguished. These elders will take this to their grave. They will never forget that one of the biggest leaders of their nation remembered them, traveled all this way and said thank you.”

Iwobi also noted how personable and authentic William was as he spoke to the elders. She even revealed the prince asked her for a hug before leaving the Grange Pavilion.
“He said to me ‘Can I please have a hug? You have been so lovely to us,’” she said. “I said ‘I oblige!’ I grabbed him, yeah. It was a very good hug. Like a brother.’”
The professor continued, “The good thing about him is how human he is, how understated he is and how very ordinary he wanted to be. He didn’t want bowing and stuff. He was a Prince of Wales that people could relate to, that was warming for the elders.”
