1 pm, Thornewood House, Alnwick
Staff: Your Majesty, Her Royal Highness is in the library.
Jacqueline: Thomas! What a lovely surprise.
Jacqueline: To what do I owe the pleasure, dear?
Thomas: Well, I wanted to check in... see how you’re doing.
Jacqueline: Oh, I’m doing fine... We’re finishing the last of the renovations this week.
Thomas: And they look wonderful. But I do need to speak to you about something. The name Louise Monahan... does that ring a bell?
Jacqueline: No, I don’t think so... why?
Thomas: Hugo had a child with her. In college. He died before the child was born. Dad was paying the child’s mother, every year, to support the child. But he never told us.
Jacqueline: Oh... my god.
