Memories

• Baroness Éowyn Amberdrake, OP, OL, later remarked of Their Majesties that "At the end, cooks and servers were called out for recognition. Then everyone disappeared - turns out they were behind the curtained wall in the room. TRM and retinue served the cooks and servers while they sat down and ate. No fanfare, They just did it."
