Her Majesty, who recently attended

the Royal Academy of Dance headquarters in London, met ballet teacher Sarah Platt un spoke about her ambitions.

Recounting their meeting, Platt explained: "She said, 'I wouldn't mind becoming a silver swan,' and said her office would be in touch. I never thought they would be, but they did, and we started only a few months later.'"
