Thank you @esquire and fellow @columbiajournalism alum Sirena He for this profile of my experiences covering QE2’s funeral where I was able to provide context of the monarchy - from its colonial past to its thousand year continuity - but also to share a sweet moment of the soon to be princess in our lives. Going back to when I first started to writing for my high school newspaper, I dreamed about one day appearing in the pages of #Esquire like Gay Talese or CJ Chivers...and while this is not a byline, it feels just as special. Link in bio!
