“what are you looking at?” natasja was still stuffed into the giant dress, she felt awful and all of this was a mistake. it had to be. the seventh glass of whiskey had told natasja this was all just another one of her nightmares. she’d wake up in tokyo and everything would be fine, “if you’re just going to stare, get another drink. it’s less tacky if i’m not alone, and - technically - it’s on me.”

“ Now that you’ve agreed, you can’t change your mind. ” Without giving the other person another second to think about it, Helena grabs their hands, dragging them out into the sun. After the weekend they had — funeral and a coronation, enough to send anyone into a fritz of contradictory emotions, Sunday finally came out along with a gentle golden sun. Perfect day to go museum hopping.

     - ‘ THINKING ABOUT it now, i shouldn’t have chosen to spend my birthday attending a funeral of all things. ’

[beaufort-a]

It felt too soon, to have attended another funeral. Yet here he was, post-reception for one of his closest friends. That’s what friends did, didn’t they? Show up in times when support was needed? No matter how that support was needed. He stood in a corner, a shadow of his former self, holding onto a drink for dear life. “Sorry, sorry. I just need another couple of these and I’m sure I’ll have a snarky remark or two.”

the future raj of rajasthan, yuvraaj rohan talwar, wore a traditional royal outfit, inclusive of the headdress, with modifications ( it is missing the sword, the belt sash thing, the shawl and very many jewels ) to the coronation. he wore a simple black suit for the funeral. the beard is because it’s ICEland and he’s annoying. 

princess nadezhda “nadya” romanova at the coronation, and a wave tiara, she also wore a simple and regal black dress to the funeral that might have shown too much leg if she wasn’t also wearing sheer black stockings. ya’ll know what she’s like by now use your imagination.

grand duke of rhine otto kaspar zielcke attends the coronation in dress uniform. i took evy’s advice (thank u evy) and went with some random ‘fit. we are going to pretend they reflect the colours yellow, black, green and red, and have rhine’s coat of arms. he skipped the funeral because it was a grossly long flight, he doesn’t fly well and was feeling absolutely horrible even though they arrived the night before.

Coronations were always hit or miss for Nikolai, it really depended upon what he wanted to accomplish while there. This go around, he figured he might as well let a little loose... just not too loose. He still had to uphold an image, after all. It had been a while since he’d attended one with an underlying somber tone, but here he was. “Is it what you expected?”

she leaves before she can say anything -- alexei wouldn’t learn. ( and yet, anya had hoped someone would interuppt the pair, hadn’t she? ) it’s cold out but the princess needed to breathe before she bit someone’s head off. “ unless you have a cigarette or a drink, just....go. ”

“ i HAVE TO say. i don’t think i would have scheduled a coronation for the same day as a funeral. it almost feels as if we’re celebrating the death. maybe the third time an inappropriate party like this or the one in england happens, i will have become NUMB ! ” [ &&. @hshqstarters​ ]

“I suggest the beastly political to be starved off until the king has been lowered into the ground for more than a few hours.” Ronan watched with a downturned frown. “I know the doors revolve quickly when it’s all said and done but a little tenderness in such a time of mourning for the family should be a given.”

RAJKUMAR ADITYA CHAUHAN @ THE CORONATION OF KING ALEKSANDER

the prince arrived directly to the coronation in a sabyasaachi embroidered sherwani, showing off various pieces of jewelry from the delhi collection. for the better part of the evening he also wore a mughal style turban adorned with pearls and a single emerald.
