Cosmopolitan editor Eliza Thompson jokingly answered a call for volunteers to experiment living like Queen Elizabeth II for a week. Little did she know that destiny would call her to the task.

From attending a tea service at the Plaza with royal expert Robert Lacey, to posing and walking the corgis, Eliza went in and took notes of her adventures.

Head over to Cosmopolitan to read her experiences.
