A 7-year-old girl from Britain's Epsom Borough has scored what any royal watcher would consider a golden ticket. Hermione Sutton received an invitation to the wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton, even though neither she -- nor anyone she knows -- has ever met the future king of England and his bride-to-be.
Since Hermione is princess-obsessed, her mother, Helen, was planning on bringing her daughter to get a glimpse of the festivities regardless. But when she was researching online where best to view it, she discovered she could apply for tickets to an area reserved for disabled guests.
Hermione suffers from Prader-Willi syndrome, a genetic disease that prevents her from walking or standing for long periods of time.
On March 31, two weeks after applying for the tickets, the Suttons received good news via an email.
I thought nothing of it, but then lo and behold we got an email saying we'd been selected to go into this special disabled enclosure, Helen told the Today show. So we were absolutely thrilled.
Hermione has her dress -- and tiara -- already picked out for the event. And Helen is just as excited about attending the wedding as her daughter is.
