ha ha - one of my best friends just emailed me - apparently she was at a work function last night for a major bank on Park Lane and Zara Philips was there. They ended up hanging out all night and became really good mates...

"She is gorgeous and so down to earth, really approachable and fun to - she really comes across as someone you would be friends with if you met her randomly and she wasn't royal! Was bizarre thinking who her granny is when she's standing next to you!"

Well, that's my ticket into Ascot then.

Have you ever met any royalty?
