The Duke and Duchess of York have two daughters, Princess Beatrice of York and Princess Eugenie of York. My princess obsessed daughter doesn't believe they actually exist.Sarah Ferguson, The Duchess of York first stepped on to the world stage in 1986 when she married Britain’s Prince Andrew, second son of Her Majesty The Queen and The Duke of Edinburgh. I showed her a picture of Queen Elizabeth II. And I blurted out something like, "the pictures are wrong!" I gleefully explained (or tried) who the author was and how her two daughters are in fact princess and have a queen for a grandmother.
See Harriet asked how it was the grandmother could possibly be a queen. Now the grandmother in the book is drawn like any generic grandmother but it was on this page that things clicked into place. Tea with the Queen ends up being tea with her grandmother. Her family reminds her of her manners and she practices so she'll be ready. Ruby, who appears to be a normal suburban child who one day receives a invitation to have tea with the Queen. As it's illustrated by Robin Preiss Glasser, the illustrator of the Fancy Nancy books, the author's name didn't register when I first started reading it to Harriet. We got our copy of Tea for Ruby by Sarah Ferguson, Duchess of York that way. Every so often Cheerios includes a free book in the box of cereal.
