Entry 191
Political event
17/5
I don't know what I expected. it definitely was not this. I'm sitting here in my very spartanly decorated room at St. James's Palace, looking at the blue sash.
When I got to Buckingham Palace this morning , Gran rushed me through from the sitting room to the throne room. Privy Council was gathered, which felt a bit like being called into the Headmaster's office.
A small desk was set up in the middle of the room, in front of the throne.
It suddenly was like a whirlwind as Gran placed the blue sash of the Most Noble Order of the Garter over my head and declared me as 'specially appointed councilor of state.'
It was all rather shocking, but once I'd been able to really think, she told me that I would be accompanying her to Bermuda for the gathering of the Commonwealth Heads of Government meeting. Greatpapa was supposed to go as Gran's council so this is pretty big.
