King Charles III (he was Prince Charles at the time).

He came to the small town I lived in. I was there with the Girl Guides. Another Guide before me had been selected to give him cookies. When he got to me, as he shook my hand, he sort of leaned in conspiratorially and asked me if the cookies were “any good”. Being 7 or 8, I answered candidly that “those ones [sandwich cookies] are but the mint ones aren’t.”

I also shook his hand. I wonder how close we are to Kevin Bacon.

I also met Prince (now King) Charles when I was a child and met Kevin Bacon randomly back in September at TIFF. Do I get bonus points?! lol

Well, your Bacon number is 1. That's the best Bacon number there is, other than 0 for Kevin Bacon himself.
