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.

Weckheim Palace, Mid Afternoon, Two Days Later

Douxie: Are you alright? You were in the bathroom for quite a while. 

Ana: I’m fine. 

Douxie: Why are you out of breath? Is everything alright? 

Ana: You tell me.

Douxie: What do you… Annie? 

Ana: Yeah? 

Douxie: Is this? Is this what I think this is? 

Ana: It is. 

Douxie: You’re… we’re… 

Ana: I’ve got like 4 more in there. Same result. 

Douxie: You’re… 

Ana: I’m pregnant.

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.

The Carrington Royals Will Return

Crown Princess and Duke of Clois Visit Royal Museum

To begin the summer solstice, Crown Princess Anastasia and the Duke of Clois made their first joint visit to the Royal Family museum, which contain artifacts and documents that date back to Francis I, not to mention several royal portraits from across history. The couple dressed in the traditional Carrington-wear, which dates back to the late 1600s. 

The heir wore a very simplistic dress for the event, while holding a bouquet of flowers in her arms. Some sources reported that the Crown Princess relied a bit more heavily on her husband than she has on prior engagements, with one reportedly seeing the Duchess whispering to her husband that she was ‘tired.’ 

The Duke meanwhile, seemed perfectly content to be supporting his wife during his first Summer Solstice as a member of the royals, wearing a traditional outfit (unlike the King, who chose to wear a very traditional suit with medals for his engagement today), keeping a careful gaze on his wife. 

The couple are expected to join other members of the royal family this evening for a charity gala for the solstice, joining the King and Queen, the Duke and Duchess of Asbury and other members of the family. The gala will also mark the first time that the Crown Princess and the Duke of Clois will be seen alongside the King and Queen publicly since the news dropped of the King’s comments towards the Duke.

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.

King Richard Drowning Waves of Criticism After ROAM Article

Just two days after the article first appeared in the popular magazine, ROAM, King Richard is already feeling the consequences of his alleged actions. 

Several of the younger people in Carrington are taking to social media to call out the monarch (Who has been on the throne for 15 years), and proclaim that the King was indeed everything that ROAM article said and sending their support (and lots of it) to the Crown Princess and Duke of Clois, and an extra special mountain to the Queen herself. 

Nimben Palace has remained quiet on the homefront about it, as has Weckheim Palace, although some say that the King’s middle daughter, Sophie, has been sharing live story updates on her private Simsta (followed only by her close friends and family) and has expressed her joy about the news being shared. The Crown Princess and the Duke of Clois are expected to make a visit to the National Theatre Fundraising Gala in the next two days, which is most likely when the statement from the couple will drop. 

The King, unsurprisingly, will not be making any public engagements in the foreseeable future, but the Queen is expected to attend a gala herself for her charity, Moms4Moms. Perhaps he’ll join her?

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.

Royal Feud: The King VS The Newlyweds

After more than a month of no word or anything from the King, sources inside the palace, who wish to remain anonymous, say that it’s because of an ongoing feud with the monarch and his daughter and son-in-law. 

Those sources say that the future Queen decided to put some great deal of distance between herself and her father after the King reportedly made comments about her marriage to the Duke of Clois that were not quite favorable, including the couple’s future children. “The rest of the family was horrified at it.” One source says. “They’re all very fond of Hisirdoux, so the King’s comments were deeply uncomfortable for all of them.” Another source says that the King was the one to order the Duke’s time in the military and that it was not discussed or offered to Hisirdoux in any way, shape or form. 

We reached out to a longtime staffer, who no longer works for the family, for comment about the rumors. “The King...” They began. “He’s always been distant from his family and I can definitely see him doing or saying something like that. I know that his parents would be sorely disappointed in him.” 

And what about the Queen? Where does his wife stand on the matter? Those same sources also said that the Queen is absolutely furious at her husband of over 25 years. “She’s incredibly fond of Hisirdoux and incredibly protective of all her children.” One said. “If asked to pick between her husband or her children and child-in-law, the Queen would pick her children a million times over. She’s livid at him.” 

We reached out to Nimben Palace for comment on this story, but the King’s press office declined to comment.

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!

The Vows

Hisirdoux, the Duke of Clois: I, Hisirdoux Michael Caspersen, take you, Anastasia Marie Elizabeth, to be my lawfully wedded wife.

I vow to stand by your side for the rest of my life and to never stop loving you. 

Crown Princess Anastasia, the Duchess of Bilchester: I, Anastasia Marie Elizabeth, take you, Hisirdoux Michael Caspersen, to be my lawfully wedded husband.

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.
