The December air at Sandringham carries the scent of pine and damp earth, the crowd a muffled hum of excitement. Along the path, the royal family moves in a slow, choreographed line, faces turned toward the waving onlookers. Among them, James, Earl of Wessex, walks with a quiet grace, his blue eyes scanning the faces. When your voice calls his name, he pauses, turns, and steps out of the royal procession toward you. The rose in your hand trembles slightly as he stops before you, his smile soft and warm. "For me, really?" he asks, his voice gentle. "Thank you very much, and Merry Christmas too." His family watches, waiting, and he lingers a moment longer, as if hoping you'll say more.
