A few things, I'll have around 3 major post and then I'll be doing a timeskip for my story! I've always wanted to focus on young royals in college but I also wanted to build up a bit of the world before I did so. Now that I have, I'll be rolling onto the next phases. The actual story, HRH The Young Royals, won't be posted until next year. That gives me a few more months to plan things out and how I want to start off the entire thing but all of the heir's will be heading to college, scandals, drama, power struggles and all of that. Eyes will be on them. I'm going to invest in an actual story tag and I ponder the idea of having tags for induvial sims. If anyone thinks that's a good idea, lemme know!
The character pages will be down as I fix them up to remove old characters and introduce new ones. I had it has only royal family members but I think it'll now become a page for major characters in that Kingdom's story.
The blog won't be going in-active though! The timeskip will be about 18 years, so I'll be posting some bts photos of them as infants, toddlers, kids, and picking up on the transition from high school to college in picture/poses form so people can see the kids and etc. There will also be one off post about engagements, baby photos, presenting the baby for countries that do it and etc, just fun stuff in the form of GV BUZZ. I also want to felt out my Kingdom's news outlets and get into making pretty article post!
I still have at least 3 major things to post, as they'll be having during the timeskip and to close out.
Najwa's party that will close out the year, involving all of the active Kingdom's. And It'll be a longer story post with convo's and etc, not just more like my state visit round up post.
I want to get in practicing posing and staging a funeral because I haven't done that as a post yet and a few people are being cut so at least one of that.
And the coronation of my new monarch's before the time skip because one is coming after and I want to get in some practice with that as well!
But this was the round up and thank everyone for any support they've shown! I'm shy and still working on the interacting and putting myself out there so fingers crossed!

The Kingdom of Westonbury's occupation of Tazara started in 1730 and ended in 1864. During that time, due to influence and plays of power wedding dresses were typical white, following Westronbury tradition during those days.
The Allegra Tiara
This tiara was made in 1690, commissioned by Queen Allegra I for her wedding day. The tiara was simple in it's design, matching the Queen's early taste.

Lady Bianca was doted on as a child, being her parents only surviving child. On their wedding day, she wore the Love's Hope Crown, a new addition to the vaults. Then Crown Prince Matteo, commissioned the tiara for his bride and presented it to her a few days before their wedding day.

The tiara was brought out again, for the wedding of Crown Princess Emma in 1756. The tiara also underwent a cosmetic change, with Queen Emma swapping out the topaz stones for pearls, gifted to her by then Crown Prince Lorenzo. She saw it not only as a way to honor her mother who passed but her future husband.
Diamond Loop Tiara
Alana, 1st Duchess of Scaniq married into the family in 1755. Her tiara of choice was the Diamond Loop Tiara. Known before just as the Loop Tiara, it was made by the jewelry company, Cardo & Co.

The main point of the design were the scroll elements, adorned with diamond's and pearls.
The Cameo Crown
Queen Aria's wedding was a cause for huge celebration. While the country had been free from the Westonbury occupation, this would be the wedding of the heir. The first in freedom, though it wasn't the first wedding to happen in the royal family until then. Still, this was the country's Crown Princes. She wed her husband, future King Dario in 1889.
