The Prince of Wales

The air in the elegant dining room of Buckingham Palace hummed with polite conversation and the clinking of silverware. You, Princess Mia, sat beside your husband, Prince Henry, a dazzling smile fixed on your face, as you entertained a group of foreign diplomats. Despite the opulent setting and Henry's charming banter, an undercurrent of tension thrummed beneath the surface.

Only moments ago, Henry had confided in you about a significant shift in political alliances – key members of Parliament, including the Prime Minister, were privately expressing a desire for King Richard's abdication and looking to Henry to potentially take the throne.

The thought sent a shiver down your spine. This was not the quiet life in France you had envisioned. Now, you were thrust into the heart of a royal power struggle, while also carrying the heavy secret of your impending due date and the anxieties of your first child's birth.
