My Thanksgiving with Princess Catherine
Watch an exclusive video of the Princess of Wales from this American in London
Happy Thanksgiving to my fellow Americans!
Alex here, and it’s my first Thanksgiving away from home. It’s also the first one I can remember where I didn’t wake up early to watch the annual Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade – one of my favorite holiday traditions. But, that doesn’t mean my morning in the UK was any less exciting. Au contraire.
Since I had the day off, I decided to stop by the Anna Freud Centre here in London to see if I could catch a glimpse of the Princess of Wales as she arrived for an engagement… and wow, did I ever.
I not only saw Her Royal Highness, who is patron of the children’s mental health charity, arrive, but I also got incredibly close as she departed and greeted members of the public who had brought flowers for her. Memo to self: next time, bring flowers! Even though I wasn’t home, this was definitely a Thanksgiving to remember.
I’m feeling extra grateful for all the incredible experiences I’ve had this year… this one certainly being one of them!
