Clarence met the Foreign Secretary recently as he was passing through the region ahead of the European Elections on May 22nd.
Afterwards Clarence said: "Meeting William Hague ahead of the European Elections was a great honour as he is one of the finest Foreign Secretaries, if not the finest, we have been privileged to have in recent times. It was very good that he could spare the time to be with us in Sussex, given his recent shuttle diplomacy over Ukraine, the fact the Indian election results were being declared that day and the huge pressures of time on his diary. His speech to Brighton & Hove Association members was a great morale booster ahead of the Euro poll."
