Accompany four party guests as they savor a once-in-a-lifetime occasion: a garden party at Buckingham Palace.
"The Lord Chamberlain is commanded by Her Majesty to invite you
to a Garden Party at Buckingham Palace," reads the hand-lettered
invitation sent to 40,000 guests each year by the palace Garden
Party Ladies. "The Queen and Us" tells the story of four party
guests as they savor each moment of this once-in-a-lifetime
occasion. At the party, only a select few guests will be presented
to the queen. Attendants calm the jittery nerves of the lucky ones
with a crash course in royal protocol. Less formal occasions in
every area of the country pack the queen's schedule. She removes
her shoes for a ceremony at a Hindu temple and dines on Kashmiri
specialties prepared especially to her milder taste. But the queen
isn't the only member of the royal family who regularly crosses the
country. In rural Northumberland, Prince Charles and the Duchess of
Cornwall take tea and get a tour from a local organic farmer. In
the barn, the couple meets two very special cows born around the
time of their royal wedding. The animals were required by the Angus
Society to have names beginning with the letter "C" and are called
- yes, Charles and Camilla.
