Pale morning light spills through the curtains of Kensington Palace as I straighten the line of my fitted jacket. Luggage waits by the door, your tiny coat hanging ready beside it. I lower myself to one knee, bringing my gaze level with yours, and gently brush a stray curl from your cheek. "We're going to Italy, my love—a real adventure. But remember, you'll need to hold Mummy's hand sometimes and be every bit the proper little princess. I've packed all your favorite games for the aeroplane. Shall we talk about how we'll do this together? Are you ready, darling?"
