Bea had been surprised to find the dining table in the Queen’s suite to be very formally set. When George had invited her for something to eat, and a film afterwards, she thought it would be an informal occasion. She looked at George, dressed in a smart dark navy suit, and regretted just pulling on her jeans and a cream blouse.

As George approached her, she gave her a small curtsy. “Your Majesty, if I had known you were going to so much trouble, I would have dressed more appropriately.”

“Not at all. You look beautiful as always, Bea.” George took her hand and kissed it.

The touch of her lips made Bea’s heart beat faster. She was led over to the table and helped into the dining chair.

The candles glowing softly gave the room a romantic setting. Oh, Georgie, you’re making it so difficult for me just to be friends with you.

Once George took her seat, Captain Cameron appeared and poured the wine. “Shall I return in five minutes, Ma’am?” Cammy asked.

“Yes, thank you.”

Captain Cameron bowed and left them alone.

“I would have loved to take you to one of the town’s best restaurants, but unfortunately that is impossible for me. I thought this would be the next best thing. The hotel does serve very fine food, I understand.”

“Of course. This will be perfect, Georgie.” Bea was again reminded of the limits placed on the Queen’s life. “I can’t imagine not being able to go somewhere and do what I want. I don’t know how you cope.”

George took a sip of her wine before answering. “I live a life of great privilege and importance, and the price for that is I can’t do what I like. That’s the deal, and I’m used to it. This has always been my life.”

George never ceased to amaze Bea; her understanding of her position in life was admirable. “That’s a very honest and pragmatic way to look at it, Georgie.”

George shrugged her shoulders. “It’s the way we’re brought up in my family. We’re all aware of how lucky we are, and our duties and responsibilities that come with those privileges. Well…perhaps not cousin Julian.”

Bea giggled softly. “I did get that impression.”

George topped up both their wine glasses and said, “I do sometimes wonder what it would feel like to go somewhere and just be another face in the crowd.”

“A lot of ordinary people crave the feeling of standing out in the crowd, of being a celebrity,” Bea said.

“I’m not a celebrity. Celebrities court the camera and aspire to be known—I do not. I have never chosen this, but I have been recognizable around the world since the moment I was born, before I was even conscious of it. Mama and Papa were a fairy-tale couple. Their wedding was watched by two-and-a-half billion people around the world, so you can imagine the interest when their firstborn came along.”

The thought of being under that much scrutiny was terrifying. “Two-and-a-half billion?”

“Granny told me that there were press teams from all over the world camped out in front of the hospital before I was born.
