First we have the current King and Queen Consort of Montaseul.
The current reigning King is King Albert, the first of his name. He is the son of King Jean III. When the king sadly passed away a few months after King Albert turned 16, he became king. One of the youngest reining monarchs of Montaseul. His coronation was held at the Châtimeur Cathedral, the same place he was married.
The King has now reigned for 20 years and is adored by his people.
When we was 32, the King met Marie-Claire Bennard, daughter of The Honourable Judge, Henri Bennard. The two were wed a few years later, then a year after the wedding they had a daughter and named her Crown Princess Ingrid Adélaïde Elise of Montaseul. They then decided to not have anymore children, due to the stress it caused Queen Consort Marie-Claire.
Queen Consort Marie-Claire
Born to The Honourable Judge, Henri Bennard and Clémence Bennard, the current Queen Consort was born as a commoner. However, the family was quite wealthy and did have similar circles to the royal family.
When she was younger she attended Queen Victoire University, and got firsts in History. She had been a big fan of finding out interesting things in the past and writing about them. She released a book detailing Montaseul in the Victorian times, and how life has evolved since then.
However, her career and life goals all changed when she met King Albert. She fell in love with the King and taught herself how to become a ‘proper’ royal. A few years after meeting, the two were wed in Châtimeur Cathedral. Then a year later, she gave birth to their daughter, The Crown Princess Adélaïde Elise of Montaseul. Due to difficulties in her pregnancy, the Queen Consort didn’t bear anymore children.
The Queen Consort Marie-Claire has many patrons to do with history, such as the Montaseul History Research Group and the Montaseul National Museum. She has also taken on the Vissard Tennis Group, as she is a keen fan of tennis.
