I haven't! I'll go after it. Thanks very much for the rec!

I think what you want is not a command performance-- which might be in the Albert Hall-- but an invitation to give a private performance.

This would be at Buckingham Palace in a drawing room. She would need white gloves and have to learn to curtsey. She would be sponsored by a member of the court, however notionally.
