i just read the Japanese article on the event, but i don't understand it completely. My friend wants a rough, summarized translation of the event, so i'm wondering if someone could tell me if i got the general gist of it right? Thanks ahead of time

my translation summary:
***Ayu meets the princess of Thailand***
Singer Hamasaki Ayumi (24) met with Ubonratana Princess (52) at Bangkok, Thailand. This is the first time the Princess has met a Japanese entertainment person. Ayu was selected as ambassador to promote the Thai ruby because of her popularity there. She also donated 3,600,000 yen to the Princess for the anti-drug cause.

original article at:

here is the original article copied and pasted, but it's messed up in some places (change encoding to Japanese to read)

・ゆ、タイ女王と対面 日本芸能人初!
 【バンコク28日=大崎公一郎】歌手浜崎・ゆみ(2 4)が、タイ神府とタイ宝石宝飾品輸出協会の「ルビー大使」に起用され、この日夕、ウボンラタナ王女(52)とバンコク郊外で対面した 。同王女が日本の芸能人と会うのは初めて。ルビーの販売促進に浜崎の広告価値がタイでも認められた形で 、浜崎のアジア進出は着々と進行している。
 浜崎はこの日夕、タイ郊外のタイ警察士官学校で行われた「謁見(えっ けん)式」に姿を見せた。ウボンラタナ王女から「テレ ビで拝見してますよ。わざわざタイに来ていただいて・ りがとうございます」と声をかけられた浜崎は「ルビー大使に選ばれ、光栄に思います」と応じ、麻薬撲滅運動 を推進する同王女に寄付金約360万円を手渡した。
