No. Seriously?

I just found out that the stunningly gorgeous, statuesque woman in her late 30's whom I met this past week in passing, friend-of-a-friend and all that, whom I originally thought was all of twenty (with the impossibly artful spray of gray at the front of her hair), is the descendant of Samoan royalty. So, messy politics aside, I have FINALLY met a princess.

So pleased.

I believe I mentioned this when it happened, but when I was living in London I went to a tea held by Princess Anne (the student house where I stayed was owned by the crown, plus my violinist roommate was playing at the tea). And they served sandwiches which not only had the crust cut off, but which were cut into circles. I had been led to understand that triangles were fancy but apparently that is only commoner level fancy and royalty fancy means round sandwiches.

Oh, YES! I remember now! BRILLIANT. Just brilliant. We can now talk about days with royalty.
