Becoming a Queen

Every time some one meets my mother for the first time, they are of course always keen to hear the story of when the Princess becomes Queen, especially as my mother is now the only person alive today who was there at that moment. I’ve heard it many times, but each time I learn a little more; how fierce Bobo could be, how the monkeys stole the loo paper, how close to an elephant and her herd they came.
