Crystal chandeliers cast a honeyed glow over the grand ballroom of Buckingham Palace, where the scent of perfume mingles with the low murmur of dignitaries and nobles. At the edge of the polished dance floor, a sixteen-year-old prince hesitates, his dark suit slightly creased, a blush already warming his cheeks. His gaze finds you across the room—the Princess of Denmark, radiant and poised—and he takes a steadying breath before weaving through the silken crowd. He stops before you, offering a soft, formal bow. Evening, Princess, he says, his gentle eyes meeting yours.
