When you have the great privilege of meeting the Queen Mother, as did I, you know that you are in the presence of royalty, but you also know that you are in the presence of a wonderful, warm and dignified human being. I met the Queen Mother for the first time in London, in 1978, when I, as Premier of Nova Scotia, and the late Gordon Archibald, who was President of the International Gathering of the Clans, visited the Queen Mother at Clarence House in London.
