Crown Prince Willam Spotted With French Princesses!

HRH Crown Prince William of Windenburg was spotted visiting Luisante National Park today and appeared to be spending time with with his potential future brides HRH Princess Arielle Navarre and her sister HRH Princess Isabelle Navarre. Can you spot which couple sparks flew with?

The court anxiously awaits an engagement notice! 

The Royal Family At Home

The Royal Family has released a series of personal paintings of the family enjoying time together around the newly rebuilt palace. The public gets a rare chance to see a casual side to the King and Queen and their children. 

The family has been spending a lot of time in the palace, instead of on royal outings since rumors the sweating sickness has been spreading closer to Windenberg. The King is known to have a fear of the sickness as he lost his father and brother to the mysterious sickness in his youth. It is said the King has many doctors and herbal remedies around the palace to stave off the sickness.

The country is hoping it will pass through the city like last year, until then the place is closed to the public and courtiers that don’t already reside here. 

The Royal family has released the first paintings commissioned by the King that the new offical court painter Sir Thomas Lawrence has finished. The painter has been given the title of Principal Painter in Ordinary, and will be exclusively painting the royal family both at court and when the family visit other courts. Sir Thomas has been given a rather generous fixed salary, and will surely be living the life of a noblemen with his knew role. 

The paintings released today are meant to show the members of the court pictured doing activities they enjoy. It is suspected that the Kings Royal Advisor Duke Jacob Gilbert of Oxfordshire may have chosen this subject so that the kingdom can get to know the royal family better.

The first painting features her Royal Highness Queen Margaret De Lune of  Windenburg standing in her garden. The Queen is known for her green thumb and it is said one of the favourite places of courtiers is her rose garden. As it’s one of the most beautiful parts of the palace. 

The second painting features His Royal Highness King Avery De Lune of Windenburg, standing in the royal library. The library has one of the largest collections of books on all topics in the country and the King spends a great deal of time in the library, versing himself on as many subjects as possible. This could be the reason for the Kings infamous wit.

The third painting features Her Royal Highness Princess Avis De Lune of Windenburg, practicing music on her piano, which was a gift to the Princess from the French Queen. Princess Avis has been learning to play the piano since the young age of three, and it is apparently the activity she most enjoys learning from her tutors.

The final painting is of his Royal Highness Crown Prince William De Lune of Windenburg, standing in front of his horse, the aptly named ‘lightning’.The horse was a gift from his father and the Prince is known to spend hours almost daily hunting with the prized steed. The Prince will no doubt have to begin to spend less time galavanting into the forest, and more time learning to be King now that he is 16. His age also brings the promise of a possible betrothal soon, the court is rife with gossip on which young lady the prince may be matched with. Surely it will be a Princess from a country the King hopes to align with?

All the royals are pictured in the royal red of the De Lune house.

Windsor Castle

Winter residence of the royal family, where they are currently staying in light of the sweating sickness epidemic.

St Bartholomew’s Hospital

Sweating sickness continues to spread rapidly through England, the city of Windenburg has been particularly effected and the city streets appear foreign as a quiet has set over the city. Everyone has been keeping indoors and St Bartholomew’s Hospital is overflowing with patients. Though the hospital was recently updated thanks to generous donations from the King and the church, the mysterious sickness is proving difficult to quell.

The current outbreak of the sickness has taken the lives of thousands and as is protocol in an epidemic of this nature, the Royal family have been rushed out of Windenburg to Glimmerbrook. They are staying in Windsor Castle, where they usually vacation in the winter. King Avery held court before leaving for Windsor, telling the people his thoughts are with all his subjects and he has faith that as with all trials the strength of the English people will prevail.

A Letter From Windsor Castle

King Avery writes an address to be printed and sent to all households across the nation;

To My People,

With the sweat spreading across our fair country and further out to the North, this is a trying time for all of us. As we all brave this new threat I am humbled by the tales I have heard of people coming together and helping those in need. This I feel truly represents who we are as a united and strong kingdom. It is stories like this that make me confident we will beat this illness as we have overcome all our past struggles.

My physicians have advised all of us to stay away from those infected with the sweat and to burn all bedding from those infected. St Bartholomew’s, St Mary's and St John's are accepting patients who don't have access to a personal physician. I am sending my prayers to all of you.

Let us hold onto the light within us all and shine it bright on this darkness.

Yours Faithfully,

King Avery De Lune Of Windenburg
