In July, 2017, I had the singular honour of spending an evening inside a British bank called Coutts as part of the many activities lined up for us as the 2017 Queen’s Young Leaders. You may wonder why I would be writing about attending an event in a place as boring as a bank.
However, Coutts is no ordinary bank. Apart from being one of the eight oldest banks in the world (founded some 329 years ago in 1692), Coutts is a private bank known for its high ranking clientele like Her Majesty the Queen. Walking inside the vast hall, we were welcomed by two men under a great dome in the centre of the building.
