So she's not in the presence of a princess, but rather a queen. In terms of news, that's not the shocking revelation that Peggy had been planning on, today, and even though she's being asked to treat her like any other woman, Peggy finds herself staring at her, unsure whether she can do that so easily. "Ma'am," she begins, the words stolen from her, "I'll try," she promises.
"But it might be a learning curve," she does feel compelled to admit. "You are the princess, where I come from. It's a bit daunting, especially growing up idolizing you and your sister." It occurs to her, then, that she hasn't introduced herself, which ought to be a touch embarrassing. "My name is Margaret Elizabeth, though just a happy coincidence, I believe, as I was born in 1921," she says. "Everyone calls me Peggy."
