She has a sparkling headband, bracelet and ring and, of course, new pink shoes.
With her curtsey rehearsed the Kensington girl, pretty as a princess herself, is ready to meet the royal couple.

The eight-year-old will be the last official flower bearer to present a bouquet to the Duchess of Cambridge before the royal couple departs P.E.I. this evening.
The little girl who adores fictional princesses, especially Cinderella, is excited to meet a real-life princess.
"It is going to be awesome," she said.
When Lauren, the daughter of Lisa and Blair Ferguson, entered a poster contest she had no idea she would be selected to be an official flower bearers.

The only student in her Grade 3 class to enter, she drew an elaborate scene that included a lobster, lobster trap, fishing boat, Confederation Bridge, Cow's Ice Cream and, of course, "Anne of Green Gables."
A week ago the call came from the premier's office that Lauren, the youngest of the Ferguson clan, would see the world's most famous newlyweds up close.

Lauren knew little about the Royal Family before the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge's wedding, which she and her mother watched.
"I liked it because she was really pretty. I liked her wedding dress and all the ladies with their hats and fancy dresses on."

Lauren's name was randomly drawn from the poster contest entries. Her poster was on display this morning at Province House and viewed by the Duke and Duchess during their tour of the historic landmark.
Lauren will be on the tarmac at Summerside's airport where she will give the Duchess of Cambridge a bouquet before she board's the airplane.
"She has to wait for the princess to shake her hand first, but it is fairly low-key," said mom Lisa.

Lauren plans on giving the couple a curtsey after presenting the bouquet.
"It's not hard to do," said the little girl who showed off her perfect curtsey. "I'll probably say this to Kate, that she's really, really pretty."
Lauren will be nervous, but knows she's doing something very few get to do.

"Maddy, my friend, said she was so jealous."
Lisa said today is a day she and her family will never forget.
"It is something that she will remember forever and tell her kids and grandkids," said the mother. "Maybe when another princess or king or queen arrives she'll remember this day and pass that along." ball gowns
