Interestingly, many decades ago, one of my great aunts put on a tea for the Queen's parents here in Canada and thus got to meet them. If we're channeling Kevin Bacon, that's a rather close degree of separation for me. I don't think I'll be getting handed a crown anytime soon, but I like to picture how marvelous an experience it must have been for said great-aunt (who sadly I never got to meet) and can only imagine the butterflies she must have felt! <br /><br />♥ JessicaWitchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8999049516813772095.post-21272742987031408512016-04-22T08:13:45.505+01:002016-04-22T08:13:45.505+01:00I agree with you about the Monarchy.

Despite the privilege into which she was born she has had her share of hardship and heartbreak, none of which she has either hidden or displayed mawkishly. What dignity and service!
