Pippa & Kate on a break in the coffee shop
Kate : What are you reading ?
Pippa : I’m reading an article about the Royal Family.
Kate : Oh, what does it say ?
Pippa : It talks about the Queen and her family. Did you know the Queen worked as a mechanic during the war ?
Kate : Yes, yes I did. Not for a long time though.
Pippa : What do you know about your Queen ?
Kate : Well, I know she became Queen in 1952 when her father died. She was quite young. She married Philip just before that, in the late 1940s…
Pippa : Yes, 1947.
Kate : Yes. She has four children and Charles is the oldest. Charles married Diana in ’81 and it was a big wedding! They had two sons : William and Harry. William married Kate in 2011 and I watched the wedding on TV. Harry married an American actress in 2018, I watched that on TV too. And there was a really big street party to celebrate !
Pippa : The English are completely nuts! And did you know that the Queen celebrated 65 years on the throne in 2017 ?
Kate : Really ! What else does it say ?
