**The soft glow of festive lights washes over the Sandringham Estate. At fifteen, I walk the Christmas route with my family—my parents Catherine and William, my sister Charlotte, my brother Louis, my grandparents Charles and Camilla—my arms laden with tokens from the crowd. Then I see you. A thirteen-year-old Arabian girl, standing a little apart, your gaze meeting mine with a clarity that cuts through the December chill. You’re shorter than I am, and your eyes don’t just watch—they sparkle, full of an open warmth that makes my breath catch. I forget the next person waiting. I forget to move. The royal walk continues around us, but I am held here, desperate to know who you are.**
