Ellen: Your Majesty, you’re going to want to see this…

Thomas: What is it?

Ellen: It’s all over the news, sir. It first broke in a magazine.

Alexandra: That rat bastard.

Thomas: I told him. I SPECIFICALLY TOLD HIM not to release the information until after Minnie and Henry’s announcement was made.

Ellen: It appears the news leaked from a reporter who was at a party hosted by His Royal Highness and Ms. Clemons.

Thomas: Get my brother on the phone, please, Ellen. And schedule him a meeting with me tomorrow morning. First thing.

Ellen: Yes, Your Majesty.

Henry: Hey Mom, I have a quick question about what I need to pack for Wickstead - what’s going on?

Alexandra: Your uncle got engaged. To that floozy who he cheated on Aunt Kate with.

Henry: Oh. Damn.

Thomas: I’m sorry, Henry. I know I promised you yours would come first. Hell, yours should have come first; you’re the son of the king, goddamnit! Yours takes precedence! Your wedding will be the big one - not his!

Henry: Dad, I know you’re pissed about this, but this doesn’t bother me that much.

Thomas: Why?

Henry: Minnie and I don’t really want a huge wedding. We don’t really want a long engagement either. We’ve talked about it… I think her exact words were “the smaller the better”.

Alexandra: Oh? Why?

Henry: The thought of it being a whole production… it just isn’t her. And it isn’t really me either. We’d rather get married in the chapel at Uncle Leo’s place. It’s so small that only our families could fit inside.

Thomas: That’s - fine. You may do that when the time comes. But in the meantime, I will ask you to move up your proposal. I don’t know when you were going to do it, but before Christmas would be best. Then the focus is back on you.

Henry: Ok. I will.

Prince Hugo is Laid to Rest

The people of Winchester are in mourning today as the royal family holds the funeral for the King and Queen’s third son, HRH The Prince Hugo, who died last week during the final battle of the Great Sim War. The royal family held the funeral mass at St. Luke’s in Rennington, a popular place for royal services. The royal family chose to hold the mass at St. Luke’s due to its location being extremely close to St. Michael National Cemetery, Winchester’s largest military cemetery.

In attendance at the mass were all members of the royal family. King Reginald and Queen Jacqueline led the procession into the church, followed by members of their family according to rank. Behind them were the Duke and Duchess of Windshire with their three children, Prince Arthur, Princess Victoria and Prince Henry. This is the family’s second funeral this week. Following the Windshire family was the Duke and Duchess of Clifton and the Marquess and Marchioness of Sudeley. Princess Sophie of Clifton and Princess Cressida of Sudeley were not in attendance.

Select members of foreign royal families were invited to attend the service, which was relatively small. Seated near the royal family were Prince Henry, Duke of Worcester and the Duke of Gloster, Queen Alma of Simovia and King Maxwell and Queen Morgan of the Winden Territories. 

Prince Hugo was privately buried after the service at St. Michael’s Cemetery. Only members of the royal family were in attendance.

Monacan Royals Land in Winchester!

Her Majesty Queen Helena has arrived! The Queen of Monaca’s plane touched down at Alnwick International Airport this afternoon, where she was greeted to crowds of fans cheering her on. Queen Helena is accompanied by her husband, The Duke of Gloster, and their sons, Crown Prince Maximilian and Prince Nicholas. The twins waved eagerly to the adoring crowd, who were thrilled to see them.

The Queen and the Duke of Gloster were greeted on the runway by His Majesty King Reginald and HRH Queen Jacqueline. Queen Jacqueline won the hearts of many when she knelt down to greet Prince Maximilian, who was accompanied by a nanny. 

Following the arrivals, the royals will have a private audience at Alnwick Palace before the Garden Party scheduled for this afternoon.

Monaca State Visit Part 2 - Royal Investiture

The busy state visit continued this afternoon with a special investiture for Her Majesty Queen Helena. King Reginald formally invested the Queen of Monaca into the Order of St. William, an order offered only to foreign monarchs who have served the Simtinent, the country of Winchester, or the royal family in a large capacity. The Order of St. William is rarely given out; it was last distributed to the King of Sulani over 10 years ago.

The investiture was followed by a private luncheon hosted by the King at Alnwick Palace. The state visit will continue in its official capacity tomorrow, when Queen Helena and the Duke of Gloster will accompany the entire Winchesterian royal family to St. Michael’s Cemetery to lay a wreath in honor of the late King Maximilian and Prince Hugo. Sources have confirmed, however, that the Queen and her family will be guests of the Windshires this evening for a informal pool and barbecue party.

BREAKING: Winchester Joins War Alliance

In a swift turn of events, King Reginald has gathered and met with top advisors regarding the unfolding of the events in the United Kingdom. As he signed the document, the King read from a prepared speech, saying,

“Even in the darkest of times humanity has a duty to uphold that which is right and just. The brutal assassination of members of the royal family of the United Kingdom of Windenburg and San Myshuno must not happen in vain, and the government which has supported these grossly unprovoked and needless attacks on innocent members of the royal family must not succeed in their attempts to threaten our monarchies. 

In the interest of upholding that which is right and just, and as a show of support for our friends from the United Kingdom, The Kingdom of Monaca and The Kingdom of Valencia, The Kingdom of Winchester will join the Allied Forces against the Kingdom of Burgundy.”

The King was joined by General Timothy Hoyt, head of the Winchesterian Military, Lieutenant General Carlos Mendez, HRH Queen Jacqueline, and the Prime Minister, Stanley Washborn.
