[Philippa] Ugh, I have a stomachache.

[Sibella] Oh, come on, Pips. This will be fun. Just relax! It's champagne in a garden!

[Victoria] Jane!

[Jane] Your Majesty, how are you?

[Victoria] Very well. You remember my daughters? Philippa, Caroline, and Sibella. Maud is off somewhere, I believe Philip cornered her into a conversation with the council for the Grand Prix.

[Jane] Of course. And - Your Royal Highness, Princess Philippa, allow me to introduce my son, Edison.

[Edison] Your Royal Highness, the pleasure is mine.

[Jane] Edison studied law at the University of Clifton. He’s very accomplished.

[Victoria] Why don’t the two of you explore the gardens a bit?

[Edison] I apologize for my mother’s bragging. She can be a little too proud at times. Mothers, am I right?

[Philippa] You have no idea.

[Philippa] Hi Granny.

[Jacqueline] Oh, look at you! Thank you for coming to visit.

[Victoria] Hello, Granny.

[Jacqueline] My dear, how are you?

[Victoria] Granny, I wanted you to talk to Pippa about your marriage.

[Jacqueline] What about it, dear?

[Victoria] My mother told me about it. How you and Grandpa had an arranged marriage.

[Philippa] You did?

[Jacqueline] We did. Your great-grandfather and I had an arranged marriage. Our parents were friends, and Reginald had trouble finding a girl who was willing to be queen.

[Philippa] Why did you agree to it?

[Jacqueline] I thought he was handsome and kind. But it wasn't easy at first. He didn't want the marriage, and I know that he married me just to tick the box.

[Philippa] Did it get better?

[Jacqueline] Oh, of course. It took time. Your grandfather Thomas wasn't born until well into our marriage. But our marriage was happy. And I miss him everyday.

—

[Philippa] So who is it?

[Victoria] What?

[Philippa] Who are you arranging my marriage with?

[Victoria] Pippa, I -

[Philippa] I’m not stupid. You obviously took me to see Granny so she could tell us how her arranged marriage worked out. You clearly already have a plan.

[Victoria sighs] If you wanted to have one, there is someone who has agreed. Remember when you told me you’d rather have someone in your position? Someone who knows how to live this life?

[Philippa] Yes?

[Victoria] Do you still think that?

[Philippa] Just tell me who it is.

[Victoria] Alexander De Villiers.

[Philippa] Fine.

[Caroline] Edmond?

[Edmond] Hey Caroline.

[Caroline] Hi.

[Edmond] Maud and I have a date. Do you know if she's almost ready?

[Caroline] Maud isn't here. Did she not tell you?

[Edmond] What? No.

[Caroline] She flew to Monaca last night to be with Cora. She told me she wanted to be there for her during the pregnancy announcement. I'm just house sitting.

[Edmond] Oh. She didn't tell me. We had a date planned, we were going to go out.

[Caroline] I'm sorry. She should have told you.

[Edmond] It's fine. I could have gone home this weekend but I didn't because I wanted to spend time with her... whatever. Sorry to bother you, Caroline. Have a nice night!

[Caroline] Wait! I mean, if you want, we could just hang here? I already ordered a pizza and was going to watch that new war movie. No pressure, but I feel bad, given my sister blew you off and everything... and sorry if this is so forward, you probably can make other plans -

[Edmond] No, that actually sounds really fun. Do you mind if I take some of your pizza?

[Caroline] Not at all! Please, come in.

[Philippa] I am doomed.

[Victoria] I take it that it didn't go well today with Edison.

[Philippa] We talked for about 5 minutes before he turned his sights on Maud.

[Victoria] Oh, dear.

[Philippa] Like I told you. I'm doomed.

[Victoria] Pippa, you're not doomed. You just have to be open. Be yourself.

[Philippa] You don't get it. You don't know what it's like to be her sister, in this position.

[Victoria] Surely Maud doesn't get the attention of all of the guys you like.

[Philippa] Well they might not if you weren't breathing down my neck all the time to get married.

[Victoria] Me? What do I have to do with this?

[Philippa] You remind me all the time about how old you were when your father died. How Uncle Henry was almost King because you were single and he had kids and all of that.

[Victoria] I'm sorry, Pippa. I didn't realize that added so much pressure.

[Philippa] You are so lucky that Dad wanted to marry you. Nobody wants to talk to me, let alone think about a future. They would have to give everything up. It would almost be easier to find someone in my position.

[Victoria] Maybe it would. ---- [Victoria] Mariam, can you please get me Amelia De Villiers on the phone?

[Mariam] Yes, Your Majesty.

[Queen Victoria] Please don't argue with me, Reggie.

[Reginald] But I don't want an arranged marriage. Why can't you give me a little more time?

[King Leopold] We've given you 5 years, Reginald. Yet you refuse to make even an attempt at becoming serious with any girl who has any potential.

[Victoria] We are tired of your antics. You'll marry Lady Jacqueline. She's lovely - don't you think she's lovely, Leo?

[Leopold] I do. And more importantly, she'll make a good queen.

[Reginald] Come on. It's 1982, please, please don't make me do this.

[Victoria] No. It's already been done. I've spoken with the Baron and Baronness Avonlea and it's done. You and Lady Jacqueline will be married in the fall.

[Reginald] You're being ridiculous.

[Leopold] No, you're being stupid. Do you intend to be king?

[Reginald] I do.

[Victoria] Then I suggest you start acting like it.

[Leopold] It's about time you realize that the Crown comes first, son.

[Philip] I knew you'd be in here. Can I join you?

[Victoria] Of course. I actually wanted to talk to you about something.

[Victoria] I'm worried about Pippa.

[Philip] Yes. I know you are.

[Victoria] You know she broke up with that boy, right? She told me it was just too much pressure.

[Philip] Pressure to get married, right?

[Victoria] Mhmm. Pressure to make the right choice. Part of me thinks she would rather us choose for her.

[Philip] Oh Victoria, absolutely not.

[Victoria] What?

[Philip] I know exactly what you're getting at. She's 26, you can't do that to her yet.

[Victoria] Why not? You know I was her age when my father died. Could you imagine if she never got married and the crown went to Maud?

[Philip] I see your point. But give her a little time. I saw Jane's family is coming to the garden party this weekend. Why don't you introduce Pippa to her son?

[Victoria] That's exactly my plan. But we can’t wait forever. If it doesn't work, you know I have a backup plan.

[Victoria] Thank you so much for finding time in your schedule to talk, Amelia.

[Amelia] It's no problem at all. How are things with Philippa?

[Victoria] She's discouraged. She told me recently that it would just be easier to find someone in her position - someone who doesn't know what it's like to live normally.

[Amelia] Someone royal?

[Victoria] I think that's what she meant. But I didn't tell her about our conversation. Have you spoken with Alexander?

[Amelia] I have. He was receptive to the idea, which surprised me. He agreed to it right then and there.

[Victoria] Oh? Well, that's a relief. I expected him to be our biggest hurdle.

[Amelia] So did I but he's on board. When are you going to bring it up to her?

[Victoria] I'm taking her to speak with my grandmother, Queen Jacqueline, tomorrow. I'll tell her after.

[Amelia] Good luck and let me know how it goes. If she's in, we have a lot of work to do.

Maud: Hey, you're Cora, right? Our floor advisor told me you'd be here today

Cora: Yeah. You're... Mary...?

Maud: Maud.

Cora: Right. Maud.

Maud: My sister is roommates with your cousin.

Cora: Oh yeah! So your sister is Pippa?

Maud: Yes!

Cora: Cool. I like your shoes. They're not dress code, though.

Maud: Oh, yeah, I just don't -

Cora: That's a good thing.

The Coronation of Queen Victoria

1. The Procession into the Cathedral. Her Majesty the Queen processes into the Cathedral with her maids of honor. The crowd rises, and stays standing for the ceremony.

2. The Anointing. The Queen’s robes and tiaras are removed as she is seated in the Chair of the Holy Angels. The highest ranking religious official, the Archbishop of Hillesdale, anoints Queen Victoria with the Sacred Oil, which has been used in Coronation ceremonies since Queen Caroline in the 18th century. While she is anointed, the Queen answers a series of questions asked by the Archbishop to complete the Oath of the Monarch:

Archbishop: Will you solemnly promise and swear to govern the Peoples of the Kingdom of Winchester and the other Territories to any of them belonging or pertaining, according to their respective laws and customs?

Queen: I solemnly promise so to do.

Archbishop: Will you to your power cause Law and Justice, in Mercy, to be executed in all your judgements?

Queen: I will.

Archbishop: Will you, Victoria Philippa Helene, solemnly promise to put forth the Crown in all aspects of your life, being, and soul?

Queen: I will.

3. The Crowning. The orchestra and choir begin to play the coronation anthem. The Archbishop of Hillesdale places the St. Edward’s Crown on the head of Queen Victoria, and the crowd chants “God Save the Queen!” three times. The Archbishop declares her to be Victoria the First, by the Grace of God, of the the Kingdom of Winchester Queen, Head of the Commonwealth, Defender of the Faith.

4. The Presentation of the Peers. Queen Victoria’s brothers, The Duke of Windshire and the Duke of Northumberland, kneel before her and recite the Oath of the Peers:

“I am hereunto presented Queen Victoria, my undoubted Queen: wherefore I have come this day to do your homage and service, I am willing to do the same for the rest of my life."

5. The Procession from the Cathedral. The maids of honor assist Her Majesty in putting on the robes. The Queen processes out of the Cathedral wearing the St. Edward’s Crown and holding the Holy Orb and Scepter of the Kingdom.

The Queen will now travel back to the Palace through the streets of Alnwick with her immediate family before appearing on the balcony of the Palace.

@royalfamilyofgrimalldi @royaldevilliers

Victoria: So anyways, we take them on Sunday.

Minnie: Are you nervous?

Victoria: No, I’m not nervous. Well, not for Maud, maybe a little for Pippa. I think it will be good for them, ya know? Maud is just so rebellious, and poor Pippa is too shy. I think this will help straighten them out, just a bit. I mean, I feel bad for Pippa. I hope she can make friends with some of the Grimalldis. And some of the De Villiers. At least they understand what she's going through, Emilia and Eleanor especially.

Minnie: They’re going to be fine, Vic. I talked to Max and Eliza, they told their girls to look out for Pips and Maud.

Victoria: Maud is the one I’m most worried about.

Minnie: I know, but Ludgrove is a great school. Maud will figure it out, I’m sure of it.

Victoria: I just hope she can manage to follow one rule.

The Funeral of King Thomas III

The royal family of Alnwick has gathered for the funeral of His Majesty King Thomas III. The service took place at the Abbey of St. Colette in Alnwick this morning, and was presided over by the Archbishop of Alnwick.

Her Majesty Queen Victoria led the funerary procession behind her father’s coffin in the streets of Alnwick, followed by her grandmother and mother, Their Royal Highnesses Queen Jacqueline the Queen Dower and Queen Alexandra the Queen Mother, as well as The Dukes of Northumberland and the Duke and Duchess of Windshire. Her fathers siblings and their families were also part of the procession. In a suspected break from protocol, Queen Victoria allowed her aunt, Katherine, Duchess of Clifton, to walk behind her with her immediate family instead of behind a line of guards with the rest of the extended royal family.

The funeral was attended by all members of the royal family as well as foreign royals. This included Her Majesty Queen Eleanor of Elvaria, Her Majesty Queen Alice of Vellia, Her Majesty Queen Margaret of Willow Creek and HRH The Duke of Hemlock, Their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess of Glencoe, the Duke and Duchess of Ashbury, the Duke and Duchess of Worcester, Crown Princess Amelia and the Duke of Clermont, the Duke and Duchess of Brevell, the Duke and Duchess of Belcoast, and the Earl and Countess of Ormonde. Curiously excluded from the service was Queen Victoria’s fiancee, the Viscount Fitzpatrick.

Royal followers were also keen to notice a small note left on top of the flag draping the coffin of the King. Eagle-eyed fans noted that the note is a drawing, presumably made by the King’s young grandchildren, Princess Eloise, Prince William and Princess Ginevra of Windshire.

The country will continue to mourn for two more days, after which coronation preparations for Her Majesty will begin.
