Henry Smith MP has introduced local film-makers Will Bower and Callam Dent to the Speaker of the House of Commons at an event in the Palace of Westminster.
Henry said;
“It was a delight to bring Will and Callam to Parliament, and show them around the historic setting where MPs have sat for hundreds of years.
“It has always been a pleasure to work with them and help with their ideas to engage young people in our local community, in ways which always put the message across while taking an entertaining look about life in Crawley.
“Royalty Three’s debut video from earlier this year, the ‘Crawley 2014 Mockumentary’, has been seen more than 18,000 times. Since then, they have gone from strength to strength, including the ‘Crawley vs. Horsham Rap Battle’, and ‘Crawley Online TV’ – which I was honoured to feature in myself!
“I look forward to working with Will, Callam, George and the rest of the team on future projects!”
Will Bower, of Royalty Three, added:
“It was great to meet the Speaker of the House of Commons, and talk about the work of Royalty Three to encourage young people to take a greater interest in current affairs and our local community.
“We are also grateful to Henry Smith MP for showing us around Parliament, and appreciate his support for, and involvement in, our work.
“We look forward to working with Henry again in the near future on more ideas to try and engage the local community.”
The Rt Hon John Bercow MP, Speaker of the House of Commons, commented:
“At the request of Henry Smith, it was a pleasure to meet Will Bower and Callam Dent, and hear about their great work to engage young people in Crawley in both the political process and the wider local community.
“I am always looking to support young people actively taking an interest in our democracy. Will, Callam and the rest of the Royalty Three group are a credit to their town.
“It comes as no surprise to me that Henry Smith MP is supporting their efforts.”
