When DC Biographer Sally Bedell Smith Met Queen Elizabeth
Briefly

"I had met both Charles and Diana, but never the queen. My husband and I went to a garden party... One of the things you're instructed before you meet the monarch is 'Don't ask her questions.'"
"My husband... had watched the Derby, we knew we were going to this reception, and... he’d absolutely predicted that Street Sense was going to win. So when we encountered the queen..."
"It was really interesting to watch this in very close range. She sort of tweaked onto the fact that Stephen knew something about racing... but it felt like a longer time."
