When the teenager arrived, the threesome spent half an hour sipping tea and soft drinks. After Wills left, Parker Bowles reportedly asked for a vodka tonic to calm her nerves. The encounter went smoothly though, and the young Prince has since sat down with Parker Bowles twice, once alone for tea and later for lunch with his father.

The many roads we took to get here will continue on in separate lanes beyond this graduation exit. For in the end, there is no exit. Life is a journey, not a destination, and the journey is the reward. There is no happiness around the corner: Happiness is the corner.
