I was Elizabeth’s aide for 18 years. She was surprisingly shy — and a petrolhead

In her first interview for a British newspaper, in the run-up to Charles and Camilla’s trip to Australia, Samantha Cohen tells of 18 years of royal service and her fondest memories

Oh! How wonderful. I will traveling to England and France in 2026, MUST check this out, along with the loaned out Bayeaux Tapestry at the British Museum. That exhibit starts in Autumn 2026.

I recently read about an award-winning documentary and watched the trailer: The Cowboy and the Queen. It looks fantastic. A California horse trainer gets a call from QEII and they bond over their love of animals. True story. He attended her funeral. A cut/paste:

Monty Roberts, a nonviolent horse trainer who rejected traditional "breaking" methods, forms an unlikely friendship with Queen Elizabeth II. Bonding over their shared love for animals, they overcome Monty's doubters to broadcast his gentle approach globally. From Academy Award Nominee Andrea Nevins, this uplifting film shows how trust can build a better world for both horses and humans.​
