The Princess Mary’s Love Life - Update #1
The Princess Mary has had a chaotic love life since we last saw her. At her debutante ball she was heartbroken over the end of her three month relationship with Crown Prince Maximillian of Monaca. Princess Mary was not seen publicly with anyone until she was 20 when she was seen with a mystery man many have believed to be Brandon Shellstrop, a wealthy business mogul who was 27 at the time. It wasn’t until Princess Mary was 22 when she started dating again, her first boyfriend since the Crown Prince being Neal Hays, a famous singer who has won numerous awards and has achieved worldwide acclaim. Princess Mary was spotted at his concert in October and a month later they were seen walking in San Myshuno together. The relationship caused quite a scandal as Neal was 33 years old while the Princess was 22. The relationship ended after only 4 months together, there has been much speculation about why their relationship ended but a rockstar and a future queen would not make a great match!
Princess Mary stayed single for the next year but was often seen in the company of Oliver Montgomery, her ex-boyfriend, the Crown Prince of Monaca’s cousin. It seemed as if the two were friends as there was no PDA between them unlike a few other men she was seen with.
When Mary was 24 she started dating WAFTA winning actor Patrick Dunn. Patrick was invited to the annual San Myshuno Palace Garden Party where he met Mary and the King and Queen. Mary was smitten and started dating him a few weeks later. They were seen shopping and getting coffee in San Myshuno. They also were seen vacationing together in Sulani two months later. The pair dated for a year, and they even attended the 85th WAFTA Awards together, with the Princess wearing a custom dress by Valerie Le Croix. Patrick won Best Actor in a Television Drama and gave a nod toward his girlfriend in his speech. However, 3 months later the pair ended their relationship amicably.
Mary started dating Eric Ellington, 6th Duke of Wells 6 months after her relationship with Patrick ended. Mary and Eric were set up by the princess’s cousin, Princess Margaret of Gardania. Eric and Mary had known each other for years and they ran in the same social circle, with Eric escorting her best friend Lady Mikaela Hastings at her debutante ball years prior. Eric was seen as the perfect husband for Mary, he was intelligent, charitable, kind, and was a member of nobility. Mary and Eric dated for almost 2 years. Eric started appearing at important functions at the palace such as the Brichester State Dinner and Princess Mary’s Investiture as Princess of the Isle. It was clear the couple were destined for marriage. Two weeks after the Princess’s investiture a story leaked that Eric had proposed to Mary and she rejected him. A source close to the couple claimed that Mary was not ready to become a “bride” and wanted to focus on her duty as the Princess of the Isle.
For the next two years Mary was not seen publicly with any boyfriend, her relationship with Eric ended and it seemed as if she was going to remain single for the rest of her twenties. However, at the Princess’s 29th birthday party Oliver Montgomery was spotted at the Palace. The next day Oliver and Mary were seen holding hands in San Myshuno while getting coffee together. In the next few weeks Oliver started renting an apartment in San Myshuno near Princess Mary’s residence, Honey House. Oliver and Mary dated for around 5 months before the palace announced their engagement.
