5:52 pm, Heritage Oaks Historic Square, Winchester

Thomas: Thank you all! Thank you!

Mr. Lindsey: Your Majesty, the conditions are extremely poor for driving this evening.

Thomas: Gavin, I don’t care - I need to see my grandchildren.

Mr. Lindsey: The weather is not favorable, Sir. I must advise against it.

Thomas: Isn’t there another route you could take?

Mr. Lindsey: We can look for something, but it hasn’t been pre-approved.

Thomas: Listen, Gavin - my grandchildren are turning one year old today. I will see them, do you understand? Find. Another. Way.

Mr. Lindsey: Yes, Your Majesty. 

1 pm, King’s Counsel Meeting Room, Parliament Building

MP Reynold: Your Majesty, we have received your proposal and are ready to answer.

Thomas: And?

MP Trenton: We would like to ask a few more questions before we approve the request.

Thomas: Please, ask away.

MP West: Do you think that Her Royal Highness the Princess Royal is fit to be Queen of Winchester?

Thomas: I do. She is smart, she is sensitive to the people, and she is kind. She does not fear the limelight like my son Arthur.

MP Carlton: Your Majesty, I admit that I have intense reservations about this. You are asking this country to amend its constitution to better fit the needs of your son’s emotions. Do you have -

Thomas: - Mr. Carlton, I am asking this of this group of people because I know my son would be deeply unhappy as King of this country. Additionally, he has made it clear to both Her Royal Highness Queen Alexandra and I that he will not have children, placing the Princess Royal and her children directly in line anyway. We are simply skipping a step.

MP Reynold: Very well, Sir. We will bring the proposal before Parliament and we intend to see it through. You may make the announcement in two days’ time.

Thomas: Thank you, counsel.

6:38 pm, King James overpass, Easton, Winchester

Thomas: Thank you for taking this route, Gavin. I appreciate it.

Mr. Lindsey: My pleasure, sir. I understand what it’s like to want to see your grandchildren.

Thomas: The roads aren’t even that bad, right? I mean, it’s hardly raining. We’ll be fine.

Mr. Lindsey: I’m trying my best, sir. The visibility is poor, and this is a windy road. I am taking it slow, to be cautious. Safety is my priority.

Thomas: Of course. 

Thomas: You’re right. This road really does twist and turn.

Mr. Lindsey: Yes, I’m trying to avoid any kind of collision. The last thing I want to do is lose control of the car.

Thomas: What did you mean about this route being “pre-approved”?

Mr. Lindsey: Whenever a driver takes any member of the royal family anywhere, we must follow a route prescribed to us by the Royal Safety Department. That way, if anything were to happen to the car or if we were to lose GPS service, the Royal Police would know where to find us. 

Thomas: I see. So the Palace has no idea where we are right now?

Mr. Lindsey: I tried sending a message before we left Heritage Oaks, but cell service is poor in this part of the country because of the forests. I just hope they got it. 

Thomas: So do I. 

The King’s Christmas Speech - Plus Engagement News!

King Thomas delivered a Christmas speech this afternoon, as is customary for the monarch of Winchester. His speech is below,

“Good afternoon, and Happy Christmas. I hope you are all experiencing the joy and warmth of your friends and families on this day. The spirit of Christmas has always been marked by family and togetherness; although this year has been difficult since the loss of my father, King Reginald, it has been marked by numerous happy moments - the graduation of my children from university and the welcoming of my niece, Princess Magdalena, and her mother, Lady Louise Monahan, into our family. In the new year, my family looks forward to even more happy moments - including the wedding of our son, Prince Henry, to Princess Mignonette of Worcester. This year, my family was fortunate enough to spend the holidays with some of our dearest friends from Monaca, and were all together to witness the proposal.

From our family to yours, we wish you a very Merry Christmas and a happy New Year.”

Royal fans were thrilled to hear the engagement news, and many commented that they could spot what appears to be an engagement portrait of the couple on the table next to the King. The Palace has yet to release the portrait.
