Music legend Lionel Richie has been named the first global ambassador of the Prince’s Trust.

Prince Charles made the announcement after meeting the legendary singer in Barbados.

The Prince of Wales is currently touring the Caribbean islands to celebrate the new collaboration.

Lionel will support the global expansion of the Prince’s Trust and will also act as chair of the new Global Ambassador Group.

Speaking at a Prince’s Trust International reception, Richie said, “I’ve been involved with the Prince’s Trust for a number of years and, of course, I understand exactly what they do – giving opportunity to kids who would never ever have a shot at anywhere close to their dreams.”

“I will tell you that it was wonderful because it was something I would want to do anyway, and, number two, to get something on a global basis of this magnitude would take years,” he added.
