PETALING JAYA: Simply supercalifragilisticexpialidocious – that’s how Malaysian duo Evangeline Khoo Ke Ying, 15, and Erynn Liew, 13, described their meeting with Queen Camilla in the United Kingdom. As the Senior Winner and Junior Winner of the 2024 Queen’s Commonwealth Essay Competition (QCEC) respectively, Evangeline and Erynn were hosted by the Queen at Buckingham Palace on Thursday. Erynn, a Tzu Chi International School Kuala Lumpur student, said meeting the Queen was a “once-in-a-lifetime opportunity”. Apart from learning about London’s history, I’ve also created new friendships with the other winners – Evangeline, Christabelle and Victor,” she said. Last year, 15-year-old Kong Yong Sin from SMK Tinggi Kluang, Johor, was named the Senior Runner-up, earning her the opportunity to be honoured by Queen Camilla.
