Chapter One
Royal Beginnings
It was 1965, and I was born into a world that did not yet know my name.
There were no trumpets. No royal decree. Just a little girl with big brown eyes, a tender spirit, and a soul full of questions.
From an early age, I sensed something was very different. I saw things others didn’ t, and felt things others didn’ t talk about.
I watched closely. I stayed quiet. I carried burdens I didn’ t yet understand, as many children often do.
But even then, something deep within whispered that I was made for something more. Not more fame. Not more attention.
But... more meaning.
While others saw an ordinary girl, Heaven saw a Lady-in-waiting being prepared to lead with compassion, advocate with courage, and walk in preordained royalty.
In a world obsessed with the flesh, I began my life searching for something else: a place to belong, a voice to be heard, and a love that wouldn’ t hurt.
This was my beginning. And it was Imperially Designed.
