Homeless girl, Shozna, 20, who wowed William is invited to Royal Wedding
Nice gesture on the part of Prince William. It’s a very biblical thing to do.
Dauly Mail reports that barely a year ago, she was living a desperate existence, sharing homeless shelters with drug addicts while recovering from a serious stroke.<
But in less than two weeks, Shozna will take her place alongside royals, A-list celebrities and foreign dignitaries after getting an invitation to the first 'people's royal wedding'.

Prince William and Kate Middleton have invited the former homeless teenager to Westminster Abbey after she was rescued from destitution by Princess Diana’s homeless charity, Centrepoint.
William, 28, followed in his late mother’s footsteps by becoming patron in 2005 and spent a freezing winter’s night sleeping rough in support of their plight two years ago.
At a charity gala last summer he heard Shozna, now 20, tell the galling story of how the bright, bubbly, 5ft 2in teenager was made homeless after having major heart surgery and faced the prospect of life on the streets.
William was so moved that he broke royal protocol by giving her a hug.
And he has now handpicked her for a golden ticket to the ceremony on April 29.
Shozna, whose surname is kept secret to protect her identity, said: ‘I’m so very excited. Kate seems born to be a princess and I think she’ll look traditional and elegant.
‘I can’t believe the Beckhams, Elton John and his husband, Prince Harry and all the little bridesmaids will be there. I want to say to Prince William: “Congratulations. Thank you for inviting me and thank you for making people feel like they are part of the world instead of being alone”.’

My only question is why does she need protection? That sounds very fishy to me. Something is up here.
