It all went as planned, thank goodness. I remained upright, avoiding my greatest fear of tripping and falling. The Queen was as gracious as I had imagined she would be, though I am not entirely sure if she knew who I was. During our “small talk” moment, she asked of me, “And how long have you been doing this?” “Oh, Your Highness, a very, very long time,” I replied. “Oh, really?” she said. And that was it.
