Afternoon Tea with the Queen

For me being historical doesn’t mean that you are already dead. Queen Elizabeth II is the most historical person that I want to meet. Imagine being the Queen of United Kingdom from 1952 until the present... that is very extraordinary. I have imagined meeting the persons that I like many and one of them was Queen Elizabeth.

Since I was a child I had a list of the countries that I wanted to visit in the future and of course United Kingdom was one of them. I imagined that some years from now I’ll visit the House of Windsor then I will take lots of pictures. While taking pictures the Queen will be heading out by means of a carriage towards Buckingham Palace. Unfortunately the strong wind will blow her hat and it will land perfectly on my spot. Due to so much excitement I will pick up the precious hat and will carefully hand it to someone in charge beside the carriage. The queen will smile because of what happened. The next thing that will happen is that they will ask me to ride inside the carriage too.

Inside the carriage is the Queen and her son Prince Charles and his wife Camilla. I was quiet throughout the travel but the queen asked me some question regarding my nationality and many more. After the travel the carriage stopped in front of the Buckingham Palace.  After arriving there I heard that it was the anniversary of the famous “Royal Couple”. I went out of the carriage and watched them walk. The queen looked back and somewhat signaled that I should also go with them so I walked quickly towards them and sent a smile.

During the celebration I met many royal people, including Prince William and Kate Middleton. I sat in a corner because I felt that I do not belong and that celebration was just intended for ROYALTIES. While sipping my afternoon tea (their traditional 4 o'clock tea) someone sat beside me and to my surprise it was the Queen herself. We talked for many hours. I asked her things regarding her reign; I talked to her exactly just like how I talk with my grandmother. She shared stuffs that I never expected that will come out from a person like her. She treats me like her own granddaughter for that day because I learned that the hat that I returned was from her great-great-grandmother Queen Victoria.
After that happy afternoon they asked me to ride a horse and they accompanied me towards my destination. The last image that I saw there was a happy and a waving queen.
