Royal pain

Well, I have a new life experience I can check off the list...I met an actual, real-life Princess (and presumably Queen-to-be). Can't get too specific, but it was at a meeting in Amsterdam last week. She wasn't wearing a crown or tiara, but she had quite a presence and was really sharp. At this point I would have to say that meeting, shaking the hand and referring in her presence to "the Princess" would rank right up there with going to Vanuatu on my list of experiences I would have never expected to have...
