A New York friend and I had a dozen ladies come celebrate on the eve of HRH\u2019s birthday.&nbsp; One of the guests, British author Rosalind Brackenbury, gave a toast while we sipped champagne before our Earl Grey.&nbsp; I contributed cucumber sandwiches and lemon pound cake, and my co-hostess did smoked salmon and coronation&nbsp; chicken.&nbsp; She had ordered shortbread biscuits from Highgrove.&nbsp; It was a huge success.<\/div>\n<p>Later that evening I had dinner with one of the top literary agents(now retired) from London.&nbsp;
