Your Royal Support

Leah Williamson x Royal!Reader

Warnings: none fluff talks of Leah’s ACL recovery

Disclaimer: for the purposes of this story actual timelines have not been taken into account I.e Princess Diana and Prince Charles separation.

You hadn’t had to dress in your dress uniform since June when you attend the Royal Garter, but here you where fixing your sash again out of nerves you looked in the mirror before looking at the sleeping form of you fiancé in bed. Leah and her family had travelled to Windsor yesterday to watch the 26 year old footballer accept her OBE and unlike the other recipients of the awards taking place this morning they all slept at Windsor castle, you where happy to sleep in a hotel but your father had insisted on it stating family stay with family when they visit not in a hotel and it wasn’t like the castle couldn’t accommodate them.

Leah stirred slightly as you turned holding your aiguillette in order to stop them from banging together and creating noise wanting the younger girl to sleep a bit longer knowing today was going to be long. You walked towards the bed and leaning down you kissed her head “I’ll see you shortly my love.” Watching her a moment longer you left knowing your Equerry James was standing waiting to give you the rundown of the day.

You had attended a few meetings before the ceremony regarding the statement that would be made at the end of the month regarding your engagement to Leah, you refused to make any decisions without her input stating that whatever information you received would be relayed back to her. You had left that meeting to a flurry of texts from Leah and Amanda, both looking for you in a form of panic as Leah grew more nervous of this afternoon’s ceremony. You called Leah immediately and you could have sworn the ringtone hadn’t even sounded before she answered “hello my love.” Leah sighed hearing your voice “everything ok.” Leah shook her head before realising you couldn’t see her “I don’t think I can do this Y/n.” You looked around the corridor of the castle before walking down towards the left and stopping when you came across the window you where looking for peering out of it you could see into the apartment you had left this morning now though you could see Leah pacing the room with Amanda sat on the couch both dressed. You smiled before beginning to talk again “your already halfway through Le.” Leah shook her head “that doesn’t make sense Y/n the ceremony isn’t for another hour and a half I’m not even close to being half way done.” You smiled once again watching Amanda try to get Leah to sit “your already dressed, your hair is done and although I tell you every morning you don’t need it you have makeup on although on a day like today I understand so you are already ready for the ceremony waiting for it to happen after those two it only has to happen and then we go out later, that’s four things on a check list two completed two to go your halfway done.” Leah sighed again “you always know what to say.” You laughed “if I didn’t by now then you should reevaluate our relationship it’s my job to know you.” Leah smiled before stopping “wait can you see me.” You laughed again watching Amanda and Leah look around the room trying to figure out where you could see them “I told you, you call, you ever need me in moments you feel like no one can see you I can, I see you.” Leah turned looking out the window before spotting you waving at her “oh I love you.” You laughed nodding along “I know but I loved you first.” Leah laughed at the statement you made every time she told you she loved you, you had said you had fallen in love with her when you where on a royal engagement with your older brothers to the Arsenal academy as a kid. You had never publicly had a relationship until her and even then it was rather private stating you had known from the moment your hands touched you knew there was nobody else and even stated you didn’t mind waiting as she dated other people because you knew it was going to be you who she loved last. You smiled at her once more before talking again “I better go I have a meeting with Will about you know what, see you shortly darling.” Leah blew you a kiss before hanging up and turning to her mum who had been watching the interaction.

You stood down the hall waiting for the Williamson family to arrive fixing you uniform nervously before your head shot up at the sound of a wolf whistle, you couldn’t help you face become hot at the sight of Leah walking at a fast pass in order to reach you “I love it when you wear your uniform, your keeping that on all day.” You smiled nodding “sort of have to but I can take the jacket off when we start dancing later thank god.” Leah smiled before placing her hands either side of you cheeks pulling you into a kiss “I’m so proud of you.” Now it was Leah’s turn to blush “seriously Le I am and I worry I never tell you enough but I’m proud of you for one everything you have accomplished in your football career, two for how high you have held your head through these difficult months but mostly I’m proud of you I’m proud of you knowing who you are, never forgetting where you came from while you look forward to where you want to go in the future for understanding you have a voice and using it not just when the public see, I’m proud of all the time you have been in so much pain and admitted to it, whether it is your acl or your endometriosis I’m proud of you not letting anything or anyone define you and I’m proud to be your fiancé I will tell you that I love you how much I have always loved you till I can no longer speak but I need you to know I’m also just as proud of you, thank you for loving me, allowing me to love you, for taking on the crazy that I and my family are and the burden our status brings, for being there when I need you for collecting me and all the baggage but thank you mostly for your support I hope I have supported you as much as you have and will always need because you are always there for me.” Leah melted into your arms “don’t make me cry before I have to go stand in-front of your brother and then the press.” You kissed the top of her head chuckling slightly “but you have and I know how proud and loved I am from you I never understood what love was or how we are meant to only be in love with one person for the rest of our lives until I met you y/n now I don’t want anyone else to be there holding my hand in the hard times and making me smile as hard as I do in the good ones I know trust me I do.” You pulled her into a kiss once more before separating to hold her hand as her grandfather cleared his throat to gain your attention “well are you kids ready.” You nodded pulling Leah into you before turning to the door nodding to the hand stating you where ready when they were.

You stood beside Amanda holding her as Leah stepped forward to receive the award looking at you briefly at something William had said before smiling. “I can’t wait till you both get married.” You smiled at Amanda “any idea where it’s going to be yet.” You shook your head slightly “no not at all Papa has said we could use Westminster Abby, that holds roughly 2000 people but I don’t know it’s already getting televised that’s more people seeing our relationship than either her or I want if I’m being honest, he has also said we could get married here at St George’s chapel like Harry and my cousin but if I’m being honest I would marry her in a registry office with you guys as witnesses but I’m not allowed.” Amanda smiled squeezing your arm “I know your role is hard that there are so many eyes looking at you constantly wishing you harm, but she has told me that for you she would stand in front of them all and protect you no matter what, I worried about her being with you I’m ashamed to say but I did your mother died after marrying into your family, your sisters in law have been torn from limb to limb in the media, as a mother you want to protect your child and that’s all I want for her happiness and protected and for a while I didn’t see you being able to protect her, but then you drove through the night after she got a concussion and you postponed meetings and appearances when she did her ankle and you sat and held her so tight yet so gently when the doctors told her she had endometriosis and you promised her and I you would find the best doctors to look after her should she ever need it, but recently you have shown me your in it for the long run with her acl injury that you would do anything to protect and support her through her worst and best and I feel so much more at peace, it’s you and her until the stars come calling and you really have shown us all that.” You pulled Amanda into a hug feeling yourself tear up. “Thank you.” Amanda laughed lightly “I should be thanking you.” You shook your head “ thank you for being the mum I always needed.” At this Amanda hugged you tighter.

William stood talking to Leah before they both turned to see you talking to Amanda “you know she never knew our mum not really anyway she was to young when she died but she is so like her in the way she loves.” Leah looked at him confused “my mum had a good heart when she fell in love with something she fell hard and she did everything she could to express it whether that be speaking about charity’s or loving her kids. Y/n loves you wholeheartedly and that is the best trait my mother could have passed down to her.” Leah smiled at him looking at you and Amanda hugging “I hope she knows I love her just as much.” William smiled “she does trust me.” William presented Leah with her badge before pulling her into a hug “and we can’t wait for you to join the family.” Leah smiled one last time before stepping back bowing slightly and walking over to you and her family. You stepped back allowing the Williamson’s to grab Leah first a habit she didn’t always appreciate but she understood before you scooped her up into a hug “my girls an OBE.” Leah laughed “I can do you one better my girls a literal princess.” You laughed grabbing her hand waving to your brother before exiting the room and into a private quarter where you couldn’t help but grab her and kiss her not caring who was watching.

“I love you.” Leah smiled into the kiss “I loved you first.” You smiled back before grabbing her into another kiss

Just a few pieces of solidarity news reported by Kuffiya since the beginning of March:

A court in London ordered UK Parliament Member Michelle Donelan to apologize and pay financial compensation to academics she accused of “extremism” for their pro-Palestine positions.

Google fired an employee who staged a protest against the chief of Google Israel during a company-sponsored Israeli tech event, accusing the company of complicity in Israel's treatment of Palestinians in Gaza.

“Stop killing Gaza." Pro-Palestine protesters held a rally in front of Japan's parliament in support of Gaza.

Pro-Palestinian students held a die-in at the Faculty of Law University of Windsor in protest against the ongoing Israeli genocide in Gaza.

"While we watch the Oscars, Israel's genocide in Gaza continues." A projection in Columbus Circle was seen by Academy members at the official New York City Oscars watch party at the Mandarin Oriental.

Boston activists shut down the Chase Bank branch, an Elbit shareholder, in commemoration of the over 30,000 Palestinians who were murdered by Israel in Gaza.

"Shame on you!" Tom Perez, a senior adviser to President Joe Biden, was rebuked at a grocery store regarding his administration's backing of the ongoing Israeli violence in Gaza.

CHAUMET ART DECO DIAMOND TIARA

"Property from the Collection of Margaret Thompson Biddle

CHAUMET ART DECO DIAMOND TIARA Old-cut diamonds, platinum (French marks), circa 1930, maker's mark.

Margaret Thompson Biddle was born in Helena, Montana in 1896. She was the daughter of notable copper miner and financier, William Boyce Thompson.

Margaret’s father was born and raised around mining in Montana, so it was no surprise that he went on to make a name for himself in the copper mining industry. He attended the prestigious Philips Exeter Academy in New Hampshire, and Columbia University. After retiring from the New York Stock Exchange around 1915, Thompson’s interests returned back to mining where he founded the Newmont Mining Corporation.

Margaret Thompson married Anthony Drexel Biddle Jr. in 1931. That year he was also appointed the Minister to Norway by President Roosevelt, and then Ambassador to Poland 1937. This role led Biddle and his family all over the world. After fleeing Poland in 1939, they landed in England for one of Anthony’s commissions. In this position, he worked with the governments-in-exile of Belgium, Czechoslovakia, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland and Yugoslavia. Biddle held numerous ambassador positions in the years that followed before re-enlisting in the army in 1944.

Margaret relocated to France after she and Anthony separated at the end of World War II. She had a home on the French Riviera, and a spectacular hotel particulier on the notable boulevard St. Germain in Paris. Not only was she a writer and author of The Women of England, Margaret was also known to be quite the hostess and socialite. One could find the Eisenhowers, the Duke and Duchess of Windsor, and many other notable French creatives at her soirees.

In addition to having a wonderful jewelry collection, Margaret was an avid collector of fine porcelain, silver, home furnishings and art by the most distinguished artists and makers. She gifted a 1,575 piece dinnerware service to former First Lady Eisenhower. Select pieces of the ‘Vermeil’ collection are still on display at The White House present day."

Yall are amazing!!

I'm looking for a sterek fic it's a short boarding school au Stiles is super excited that Derek asked him to a dance (prom? homecoming? Formal?) and talks with him about his excitement. Derek doesn't realize HE is supposed to be taking stiles so he goes with paige. Stiles eventually finds out Derek isn't coming and is sad

Turns out Danny Scott and Jackson stole Derek's black card to buy stiles the bundle of roses used to ask him out. Derek explains everything to stiles and plays him a song on the guitar.

Thank you in advance!

Happy 89th birthday to Prince Edward, Duke of Kent!

Born 9 October 1935, Edward George Nicholas Paul Patrick is the elder son of Prince George, Duke of Kent, and Princess Marina of Greece and Denmark, a grandson of George V, a nephew of Edward VIII and George VI, a and first cousin of Elizabeth II. Edward's mother was also a first cousin of Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, consort of Elizabeth II, making him both a second cousin and first cousin once removed to Charles III. He is 41st in the line of succession to the British throne.

Prince Edward began his education at Ludgrove, a preparatory school in Berkshire, before going on to Eton College and then Le Rosey in Switzerland. After school he entered the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst. He graduated from Sandhurst in 1955, as a second lieutenant in the Royal Scots Greys, the beginning of a military career which lasted over 20 years.

On 25 August 1942, Prince Edward's father, the Duke of Kent, was killed when his plane crashed in bad weather in Caithness. Prince Edward, at six years old, succeeded his father as Duke of Kent, Earl of St Andrews and Baron Downpatrick. He has held the title of Duke of Kent for over 82 years, making him the longest-serving duke in British history.

At York Minster on 8 June 1961 the Duke of Kent married Katharine Worsley, and couple have three children: George, Earl of St Andrews (62), Lady Helen Taylor, (60), and Lord Nicholas Windsor (54).

The Duke of Kent performed engagements on behalf of his cousin, the Queen, for over 50 years. He also acted as Counsellor of State during periods of the Queen's absence abroad. Upon the death of Queen Elizabeth II, the Duke of Kent became the oldest living descendent of King George V, and the last surviving descendent born in George V's lifetime.

2024 Rumor Round-Up

It's been awhile since I did one of these. Let's catch up!

These are rumors resolved from January to mid-June 2024. Dates in parentheses are when the rumors first appeared.

Confirmed

Charles to make decision about Sussex children's titles after Harry's memoirs are published. (September 2022; BP concurred with Sussex PR that the kids are using Prince/Princess titles in March 2023.)

Harry's book finishes him in the UK and with the BRF. He's done. (November 2022; no invite to the Grosvenor/Westminster wedding, Harry was excluded from the Sandhurst book, no invites or PR for Christmas and Trooping.)

Sussexes to get Edward/Wallis treatment following publication of Harry's memoir - invites to funerals only, no private relationships. (January 2023; only Harry has been allowed back to Britain, no Meghan.)

Harry's book to be a financial disaster, Harkles to lose a lot of money/end up in more debt. (January 2023; per the 2023 year end reporting, Spare sold significantly less copies than projected. Industry insiders hinted that Harry didn't make back his bonus and isn't earning profit from Spare until he earns back his bonus.)

Meghan not invited to the coronation and will not attend, nor be allowed a private audience with Charles. (January 2023)

Kate had 2 dresses for the coronation service. (May 2023; Embroidery detailing on the skirts.)

Meghan crashed the special forces ribbon-cutting; only Harry invited to attend. (November 2023)

Meghan and Harry not invited to the King’s Birthday Party. (October 2023)

Sussexes not invited to Westminster wedding. (December 2023)

Meghan didn't want Charlotte (and maybe George) to be a bridesmaid or involved in the wedding. (2018; confirmed in one of the 2023/2024 exclusives, or maybe even Spare.)

Harry admitted military kills to justify need for private security, IPP lawsuits. (January 2023; Harry continues to claim that he's unsafe in the UK because of al Qaeda/the Taliban each time he comes back or his RAVEC lawsuit gets in the news.)

William to get Order of Bath from Charles. (March 2023)

Meghan to name Kate as the racist royal to undermine her work and reputation. (July 2023; Scobie wrote it so in Endgame.)

Harry to go to the UK to visit Charles and Kate while they're unwell. (January 2024; 24-hour visit in February after Charles's cancer diagnosis. Harry was able to see Charles but William refused Harry's call to let him see Kate.)

Harry and Meghan to change their surname from Mountbatten-Windsor to Sussex. (February 2024; interview at the Vancouver IG kickoff events.)

Kate to be on medical leave through end of summer; announcement at Easter time when she doesn't reappear. (February 2024; BBC video statement.)

Sussexes not attending Grosvenor wedding. (April 2024)

BRF to make public actions towards Harry (eg take him back or officially excommunicate) soon. (February 2024; demoted on the website.)

Partially Confirmed

Harry and Meghan to give second Oprah interview following public backlash from jubilee and funeral events, will name the racist royal. (September 2022; no Oprah interview but they did inform for Scobie's book Endgame, in which the names of the racist royals were leaked.)

Superinjunction on Sussexes to expire around May 6, 2024. Surrogacies to be revealed and kids will be removed from the website. Harry and Meghan will rebrand the family as Sussex, but BP will ignore it and continue calling the children by their Mountbatten-Windsor names. (February 2024; no superinjunction or surrogacies revealed. The family did rebrand as Sussex, BP has ignored it, and BP doesn't call the children by their new titles.)

William to attend Sandhurst's passing out ceremony in December. (April 2023; he attended the Naval Academy passing out in December.)

Scobie's book will pick up where Spare left off. His new book is being "ghostwritten" by Meghan and Harry, who intend to use it for more attacks on the BRF. (November 2023; the book involved more than Spare's events but it was clearly influenced by the Sussexes to attack the BRF.)

Sussexes to announce they've sent flowers and gifts to Charles and Kate following their health announcements. (January 2024; Meghan's PR claimed they sent well wishes.)

Meghan to name the racist royals = Kate and Jason Knauf. (November 2023; Kate named in Endgame, Jason wasn't.)

Plausible

No evidence totally confirming or busting, but enough clues suggest it's true.

Netflix docuseries was meant to be about the Archewell Foundation's work but scope changed to reflect behind the scenes/daily activities. (October 2022; Archewell posted an "impact video" in December 2023 of work they claimed was done in 2023 but many of the clips are from appearances they made in 2022. Meghan made the "impact video" to be able to use the footage for acclaim.)

Sussexes banned from Carlyle Hotel for past behavior. (May 2023; they never stay there, despite it being one of Diana's favorite hotels and that's hinky.)

Sussexes plan to use Scobie's book to highlight how awful the BRF is to bury the 'Harry's Nazi uniform' storyline on The Crown. (November 2023)

Meghan was never invited to the coronation. (May 2023; hiking papwalk has echoes of her 2016/2017 MO - while the royals are royalling, she's papwalking.)

Busted

Charles won't meet personally with Harry until he leaves Meghan. (April 2023; he met with Harry in February 2024. It was only 12-15 minutes, but it was a meeting nonetheless.)

Queen Mary's dolls' house

The idea for building the doll's house came from the Queen's cousin, Princess Marie Louise, who discussed her idea with one of the top architects of the time, Sir Edwin Lutyens, at the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition of 1921. Sir Edwin agreed to construct the dollhouse and began preparations. It was created as a gift to Queen Mary from the people, and to serve as a historical document on how a royal family might have lived during that period in England. Today Queen Mary's dolls' house is exposed in Windsor Castle, UK.
