Fresh from receiving her MBE from His Majesty The King at Windsor Castle this week, Myleene Klass is preparing to bring her voice, energy and experience to Leeds International Festival of Ideas 2025.

The musician, broadcaster and businesswoman was recognised for her services to women’s health, miscarriage awareness and charity. Speaking after the ceremony, Myleene described the moment as “magical,” reflecting on the years of dedication and advocacy that led to this honour.

Next, audiences in Leeds will get to hear directly from Myleene as she hosts the thought‑provoking panel “Can Mums Have It All?” at LIFI25 on 17 October. The conversation will dive into the balance, and often the imbalance, between motherhood, ambition and identity.

A mother of three and a vocal advocate for parents in the public eye, Myleene will lead a panel of inspiring guests, sharing honest insights on navigating careers, family life and personal wellbeing.

Tickets are in very limited supply – don’t miss your chance to hear from Myleene fresh from her royal recognition. Find out more and book tickets here.
