People all over Houston are looking back on the life of Queen Elizabeth and how she has made an impact in their lives.
“It was a very big thing for us, especially in the Houston field office,” explained Former Special Agent for the US Secret Service, James Napolitano. “I was pretty young. I had five years at the Secret Service at that time.”
That big thing was a visit from Queen Elizabeth and Prince Phillip. Napolitano was assigned to help with security for some of the events the Queen was attending, as well as to help escort them to and from the airplane. “Dealing with the Queen was a little nerve-wracking. A lot of that was how do you address them? How do you speak to her when she speaks to you? What do you call her?” asked Napolitano. “I had to do a lot of research. So, there was a lot of that being briefed up by our department to make sure we didn’t make mistakes addressing the Queen when she was here.”He recalls many moments during that visit, including when she was leaving Houston to head to Dallas.
