Pregnant Crown Princess Attends Friend’s Wedding

Earlier today, Crown Princess Anastasia was photographed leaving the wedding of her close friend, Alya Kenny, to her longtime boyfriend, Nick Lahiffe. The heir to the throne was of course joined by her husband, Hisirdoux, the Duke of Clois, with whom she is expecting her first child. 

The future Queen wore a seafoam coat for the service, reminiscent of a coat worn by her mother, Queen Elissa, when she was pregnant with the Duchess. The Duke, unsurprisingly, chose a simple suit for the wedding, and gracefully offered his arm to his wife. 

The couple, who have been married for close to a year, have not yet shared whether or not they are having a future King or Queen, with sources close to them saying that the pair themselves don’t even know the gender of their future arrival.

Crown Princess and Duke of Clois Attend Gala

Just days after the story broke on a rumored feud between the couple, who have been married for close to three months, and the Crown Princess’s father, King Richard, the couple attended a gala for the Duke of Clois’s new patronage, the Carrington Independent Artists Foundation, which he also helped to create about 8 years ago. 

The couple gracefully avoided questions about the feud as they entered the gala, but royal fashion analysts said that the future Queen’s jewelry spoke volumes. “She was wearing jewelry that she’s worn quite frequently, her engagement ring, her earrings, but her necklace wasn’t the Crown Princess Louise necklace. It was a new necklace that we’ve never seen before, so it’s most likely a necklace that the Duke gave to his wife. Now this could be a case of the Crown Princess wanting to support her husband during his first patronage gala, but I think the message that she’s sending is that she’s standing by her husband and that she’s angry at her father for his reported comments toward Hisirdoux.” 

Of course, Weckheim Palace has remained silent on the matter, posting only to social media about engagements that the newlyweds have embarked on, both as a couple and solo and Nimben Palace has been completely silent since the announcement.

Weckheim Palace, Early Morning

Douxie: And it’s at? 

Ana: Noon. Quaint little chapel in Vanily. 

Douxie: And that’s where Gabriel is from, right? 

Ana: Yes. His father is the Marquess de Vanily and Gabriel is the Viscount de Vanily. 

Douxie: Every time I think I know all the noble titles, a new title comes along and messes everything up. 

Ana: Well, if it makes you feel any better, I can barely tell them apart. I get the Bringhamptons and Bambergs mixed up all the time. 

Douxie: Don’t forget Markshill and Cartershall. 

Ana: Oh, those are HARD. 

(They laugh)

Douxie: I’m going to guess that they’ll be present? 

Ana: It’s a small service. Just immediate family. No kids, except for Marie. 

Douxie: I imagine that she won’t be there for the reception? 

Ana: Nope. All the bottle caps come off for the reception. 

Douxie: So… 

Ana: I know what you’re going to ask, and the answer is that you’re going to have to wait until we’re home. If you did that, my father would not hesitate to send you off. 

Douxie: What? For dancing with my wife? 

Ana: Knowing my father, he’d probably attempt to send you off for kissing me in private. 

Douxie: True. But that’s not going to stop me. 

Ana: It’s 9. 

Douxie: Yeah. 

Ana: Vanily’s about a 2 hour drive from here. We don’t want to be late. 

Douxie: Yeah. Lest your dad actually send me away for that.

Weckheim Palace, Early Morning

Douxie: Well? 

Ana: You look great. Your tie on the other hand… 

Douxie: It’s a battle that I never seem to win.

Ana: You ready? 

Douxie: You can bet that I am. 

Ana: It’s a lot different than going to movie premieres and doing press tours. 

Douxie: What about galas? 

Ana: Galas? Galas are easy, you dress up, talk, eat food and dance. That’s all you do. Maybe there’s a silent auction, but other than that… nothing. Okay, maybe an occasional speech. 

Douxie: So patronages are… 

Ana: More work. Photographs of you arriving and people are going to see it and take notice. 

Douxie: So… 

Ana: Listen. Like really, really listen. Chat when needed. Shake hands. 

Douxie: How long does it take? 

Ana: Eh. Depends? Two hours at the most. 

Douxie: Are you sure that you’re not coming? 

Ana: If I had the chance, I would 100% be joining you. But, my dad has other plans. I’ll be there next time. 

Assistant: Ma’am. Your car is here. 

Ana: Thank you Rebecca, I’ll be down momentarily. You’ll be okay? 

Douxie: Yeah. I’ll be just fine.

Nimben Palace, Richard’s Office, Early Afternoon

Butler: Your Majesty. He’s here.

Richard: Bring him in. 

Ana: Father. 

Douxie: Sir. 

Richard: Anastasia, I seem to recall that you’re supposed to be…

Ana: I’m supposed to be here, with my husband. My engagement isn’t until this evening, there’s plenty of time.

Richard: This meeting does not concern you. 

Ana: But it concerns my husband. And after what happened last time, I don’t trust you enough to be left alone with him. 

Douxie: Annie, it’s alright. I promise.

Richard: That is not how you should  be addressing…

Ana: My husband can address me as he damn well pleases. If he wants to call me Annie or Ana, he can. I won’t stop him. 

Richard: Regardless, when I agreed to this marriage, my stipulation was two years of military service. One year prior to marriage, one year after. 

Douxie: And you want me to do the second? 

Richard: Yes. 

Douxie: Sir, please. With all due respect, I don’t think that… 

Richard: Your opinions and feelings do not matter in this situation. You’re going and that’s final. 

Ana: Then I’ll go with him. 

Richard: No. You, Anastasia, are to stay here. 

Ana: Away from my husband? For a year? Are you mad? 

Richard: You have duties and patronages to attend to here. 

Ana: Then keep him here. Don’t send him away. But wherever Douxie goes, I will go. His home is my home. And I know that if you try to keep us apart, the press will… 

Richard: Say nothing, just like they did the first time. 

Ana: We weren’t married then. You and the press were on good terms. Doux and I are married now. You and the press are on horrible terms because of what you said to Doux over the holidays, and even then, they underestimated how bad that was. 

Douxie: Annie, breathe. Breathe. 

Ana: I am breathing. Either he stays here, or I go with him. Those are your only two options.

Official Wedding Photos Released!

Just minutes ago, Weckheim Palace shared the official wedding portraits from yesterday’s ceremony. 

The newlyweds are pictured with the young members of their bridal party, as well as with their respective parents. Most surprisingly, the couple chose to forgo the typical one portrait of the newlyweds, choosing to instead release three (!!) for the special day. 

The couple are expected to be leaving for their honeymoon later today, and the photos from the reception are also expected to be shared today as well.

They’re Married!

Just minutes ago, the country’s favorite couple emerged from the doors of Saint Victoria’s Cathedral to cheers and hoorahs from the large crowds outside, who have been eagerly awaiting this moment for a year and a half. 

The newlyweds smiled and waved to the crowds before boarding a carriage to take them back to Nimben Palace for a private reception, although the couple are rumored to make an appearance on the balcony before returning inside to take the official portraits that will be released tomorrow. 

As they rode through the streets, the excitement and love between the couple was obvious, alternating between waving to the crowds and gazing into each other’s eyes, as seen here. 

The couple are expected to make an appearance on the balcony of the palace any minute, stay tuned!

Olde Viceroy Hotel, ~10:45, The Morning of the Wedding

Cody: You ready? 

Douxie: I’ve been waiting for this moment for close to two years. Of course I’m ready. 

Olivia: You were just crawling across the floor, and now you’re going to be getting married. Where did all the time go? 

Liliana: It went by in the blink of an eye. It felt like just yesterday we picked you to be ours and now… 

Douxie: Please don’t start crying, cause then you’re going to make me start crying, and that will just make us cry more. 

Olivia: I know my boy. No tears yet. 

Douxie: Yet? 

Olivia: When you see her. That’s when you’ll cry. 

Douxie: Trust me, I know that I will. I’ve got tissues stuffed in here.

Cody: And I’ve got like… an extra 2 boxes in my pockets as well. 

Liliana: And you’re sure that’ll be enough? 

Douxie: I’ve got like three handkerchiefs, does that count? One for me, one for Annie and then one for… I don’t know. Both of us, probably. 

Cody: I’ve got an extra 2 too. I’m prepared. 

Douxie: Thanks man. 

Liliana: We’re going to head out. We’ll see you there. 

Douxie: See you there. 

Cody: (singing) I can hear the bells, just hear them chiming… 

Douxie: Dude. 

Cody: I can hear the bells, my temperature’s climbing… 

Douxie: Cody… 

Cody: I can’t contain my joy, cause I finally found the… 

*Bell Chimes* 

Douxie: That’s our signal. It’s 11:10. 

Cody: You ready? 

Douxie: Let’s go get married.

Crown Princess and Duke of Clois Name Son

Earlier today, Weckheim Palace sent out an official statement saying the Crown Princess and her husband, Hisirdoux, the Duke of Clois, have officially named their son. 

The newborn prince was given the name, Kristof Louis Martin with sources close to the palace saying that the names of both of their respective grandfathers were extremely important to the decision. Louis, of course, comes from the late King Louis, the Crown Princess’s grandfather, while Martin appears to pay homage to the Duke’s own later grandfather, Martin Andersen, who passed away early on in the heir’s pregnancy. 

Meanwhile, the name Kristof pays homage to the very long line of Kristof’s before him as monarchs of Carrington, with the most recent King to bear the name being King Kristof VI, the Crown Princess’s great-grandfather, who was killed in 1983. 

The new parents have not yet shared any further information regarding their newborn, but are expected to do so soon.

The Crown Princess and Duke of Clois Introduce Their Son to the World

Two days after giving birth to the second in line to the throne, Crown Princess Anastasia and her husband, Hisirdoux, the Duke of Clois, appeared on the steps of the Queen Abigail’s Wing to formally introduce the world to their newborn son, who has not yet been named. 

The heir to the throne held her newborn son close, with most of him covered, only a tiny swatch of his face and the newborn’s dark hair could be seen by the crowds. The Crown Princess however, chose a very simple and comfortable dress for the occasion that sold out minutes after she was photographed wearing it. 

After a few minutes, the couple returned back inside, with Weckheim Palace confirming that the couple and their son would be returning to the Palace later that evening.

Weckheim Palace, Early Morning

Douxie: Annie? Annie? 

Ana: Huh? 

Douxie: It’s almost 2 o’clock in the morning. Come back to bed. 

Ana: I’m not tired. 

Douxie: You will be in the morning, I’m calling it now. Besides, I’ve heard you yawn 3 times now. What’s keeping you?  

Ana: I’m… I’m just worried, you know? 

Douxie: About what? 

Ana: My father… he’s been… eerily quiet since that statement.

Douxie: Maybe your mom had words with him. 

Ana: Maybe. But even then, he’s been… I don’t even know how to describe it. 

Douxie: You think that he’s about to do something? 

Ana: Yeah. And whatever it is, it won’t be pretty. 

Douxie: Hey. Come ‘ere. I’m sure it’ll all work out in the end. There’s nothing to worry about. Now, get some sleep. 

Ana: Hey Doux? 

Douxie: Yes love? 

Ana: Why are you still awake? 

Douxie: I don’t sleep until you’re safely tucked in my arms. I spent a year without you and I never intend to do that again. 

[royalhouseofcarrington]

Weckheim Palace, 4pm

Douxie: Well? 

Ana: Let’s just say that my father doesn’t understand the meaning of the blizzard and icy roads. Mom was yelling at him in the background and told us to stay home. 

Douxie: I’m not opposed to that. 

Ana: Neither am I. Your moms okay? 

Douxie: Yup. We could invite Tom and Paige over if you want, they’re only a few minutes away. 

Ana: Tom’s already out to his dad’s house. It’s just us. 

Douxie: Christmas Eve alone with my wife? Sounds like a dream come true. 

Ana: A Christmas anything alone with my husband is a dream come true.

The Newlyweds Share Special Look At Their Honeymoon in Christmas Card

Earlier today, Weckheim Palace, the official residence of the Duchess of Bilchester and the Duke of Clois shared the couple’s first Christmas card together as a married couple.

The photo was taken during the couple’s honeymoon in Doyles. The couple also released a holiday greeting to go alongside the card which reads: 

As we celebrate the holiday season, we are reminded of those who are no longer with us and we celebrate the achievements and the events that have made this year special and unique. 

We wish everyone a very happy and peaceful holiday season and a successful and happy new year. 

- A&H

The newlyweds are expected to join the King and Queen’s Christmas Card, set to be released within the week.

Doyles, Early Morning

Douxie: Good morning my darling. I take it that you slept well? 

Ana: Good morning handsome. I will always sleep well when you’re by my side.

Douxie: Well, what shall we do today? 

Ana: Try to avoid the press, I’d wager. 

Douxie: Well, other than that? We could go skiing, go for a walk, anything. I believe that there’s some hot springs right around the corner. 

Ana: Mhm, a hot spring sounds nice. 

Douxie: Skiing and then we warm up in the hot springs? 

Ana: Just go easy on me, I don’t recall anytime that my parents took me skiing. 

Douxie: Don’t worry, I barely know how to ski either. 

Ana: Alright, Mr. ‘Made a TV Movie about Skiing.’

Douxie: That was more than 10 years ago. I haven’t been near skis since, and even then, they had someone else doing the skiing for me. 

Ana: Uh huh. So, when did you want to head out for the slopes? 

Douxie: I’m ready whenever you are.

And The Honeymoon Begins!

Earlier today, cameras captured the newlywed Crown Princess Anastasia, the Duchess of Bilchester and Clois and Hisirdoux, the Duke of Clois, leaving the Nimben International Airport for their romantic honeymoon. 

Weckheim Palace, the couple’s official residence, did not share where the couple would be spending their romantic time alone together, but did state that the couple’s excursion will just be for a couple of days (even then they didn’t say how long), before they return to the workforce, just ahead of Winterfest, where the couple will join the rest of the family on the traditional walk to the Chapel Royale on the Landfarm Park estate, the former home of the Queen Dowager. 

However, before the couple could even leave for their romantic getaway, they turned to pose for the small amount of camera crews that had gathered outside the gates to photograph the pair. The lovebirds appeared very calm and relaxed while photographers snapped endlessly away at them, although they purposely avoided questions and boarded their plane after just a few minutes. 

Wishing these two lovebirds a romantic and stress-free honeymoon!

Friday, Weckheim Palace, 1 Day Before the Wedding

Douxie: Less than 24 hours. Are you ready?

Ana: I was born ready. The real question is… are you?

Douxie: Of course. I’ve been waiting for this moment for ages.

Ana: Me too.

Douxie: You’ll be alright here? You’ve got a lot more people than me hounding you all night long.

Ana: Well, none of them will be sleeping in our room, so I’ll be fine. I just have to worry about being too excited to sleep.

Douxie: *chuckle* I see that you and I will be in the same boat. Just try and get some sleep for me, please?

Ana: Yeah, I’ll try. No promises though.

Douxie: Annie…

Elissa: Ana? We’re here!

Douxie: I take it that’s my signal to go?

Ana: I mean… I certainly wouldn’t be opposed to you staying the night.

Douxie: Something tells me that’s not what your parents want, now is it? 

Ana: Nope. But I’ll pay him back tomorrow. 

Douxie: Yes, I very much look forward to seeing you walk down the aisle in your absolutely gorgeous dress. 

Ana: While my father sneezes like a madman the whole time. 

Douxie: That. That will be hysterical. I love you. See you tomorrow.

Ana: I love you too. I’ll see you then.
