Excited was not the word to use.
I was not exhilarated.
I had never won the big prize.
Soon my hand would shake the hand of the would be king and queen.
I had to learn quickly.
How to curtsy.
How to bow.
How to shut my mouth.
I had to learn to like chicken or beef again.
I could be offered a lunch of British horror.
This was supposed to be a quick visit.
Not end up with an hour lunch with jewels and fine stitching.
I was not royalty material.
I didn’t even care about them.
This was a job.
Not a gift or luxury.
I’m doing this for the money.
There is no glory about this.
I should keep feelings to myself.
I could get into trouble.
Everyone loves the bride of the prince.
Not everyone identifies the truth.
