Not a fan of the Royals, but this a nice story and I wouldn't have expected them to support Credit Unions.

I think it's a nice story too, especially at a time when many of the poorest feel completely abandoned by MP's and Government.

It's great way to raise awareness. Credit unions are a much better option than these dreadful places like Wonga.

All very lovely having the support of the royals, but Wouldn't mind seeing if any of these people would take up the challenge of living in a council flat in Peckham for a week on less than 70 quid each? Hmmm the mind boggles.

Louisa.

I'm not a royal and I wouldn't do that Louisa. Strange thought IMO.

I was there yesterday and met her, she chatted to everyone for some time and seems to have a genuine interest.
