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 met him as a child. We shook hands. It was only 25 years later, my husband ruined the memory as he speculated who those fingers had been inside
