We all have things that go wrong on the job - but having a formerly hot water bottle stuffed down your pants burst as you bow to a king probably isn't one of them.
Nor is having a horse eat what you're wearing.

Raised in Hamilton, Katherine successfully pursued a career on the stage and has been a fulltime member of the Opera Australia chorus since 2007.
