HOUSE OF THE FALLEN
Tumblr media Tumblr media
[Hardy Manor, Newsoms 1:01 PM WST]
Delores Bryant [Private Secretary]: What do you think, Your Majesty?
Rowena, Queen Mother: (hesitant) It's.. It's a lovely property.
Delores [P.S.]: Be honest.
Tumblr media
Rowena, Queen Mother: It has enough rooms. It's just... the art... it's going to need a lot of updating!
Delores [P.S.]: Well, the manor has been vacant for about 107 years, ma'am. At such a discount, the Hardy noble family seems eager to sell it.
Rowena, Queen Mother: (somber) I don't understand why I can't just stay at Highpark House. I hate the other vacant royal residences. I wasn't expecting to use all the money George left me to now buy and remodel a home.
(cell phone rings)
Tumblr media
Rowena, Queen Mother: (to caller) "Hello?"
??: Your Majesty?
Rowena, Queen Mother: "Yes? Who is this?"
Tumblr media
Mother LaKisha [Nun]: "This is Mother LaKisha from Saint LeSun Convent. You gave us your private number for emergencies. It's your mother. She's dying."
Rowena, Queen Mother: (gasps) Oh no! I'm on my way!

[Buckingsim Palace, Buckingsimshire 1:39 PM WST]
Alfred Culpepper [Estate Manager]: Good afternoon, Your Majesty.
Rowena, Queen Mother: Hello, Alfred. I'm here to see the Queen.
Alfred [E.M.]: Of course, ma'am.
Tumblr media
[Aide #2]: and these are the urgent patronages needing new royal leadership, since your ascension.
[Aide #3]: Many of which, we believe, the Earl and Countess of Boykins would be a great fit for.
Queen Katherine: These are the patronages listed here?
[Aide #3]: Yes, Your Majesty.
Tumblr media
Martin Lavelle [Private Secretary]: (whispers) Pardon me, ma'am. The Queen Mother is here to see you. She says it's urgent.
Tumblr media
Queen Katherine: (stands) Stay seated! I'd like to see a few of those patronages given to the new Duke and Duchess of Hastings. Take some time to rearrange the list. I'll be right back to discuss.
[All]: Your Majesty.
(Queen Katherine exits)
Tumblr media
[The Queen's Library, 1:52 PM WST]
Queen Katherine: (confused) Mom? Is everything okay?
Tumblr media
Queen Katherine: What's so urgent you pulled me from a meeting?
Rowena, Queen Mother: Oh, darling! It's granny Niema! She's dying! Mother LaKisha called me while I was out looking at Hardy Manor.
Queen Katherine: Granny Niema! Are you okay? Oh, mommy!
Tumblr media
Rowena, Queen Mother: I knew this day would come. I'm happy she was able to tell her story while her memory remained. She's the last of her family, the last of the House of Zulu. I'd like to borrow the helicopter to fly to Forgotten Hollow. Your approval is needed for its use.
Queen Katherine: Never be afraid to ask to use the royal fleets. You are still a Queen.
Rowena, Queen Mother: ...with no place to live.
Queen Katherine: Oh! Royal Lodge. I'm sorry, mommy. Let's talk when you return.
Tumblr media
Queen Katherine: (stands) How quickly would you like to leave? Usage approved! I can clear my schedule and go with you, if you'd like.
Rowena, Queen Mother: No, Lady Sonja will go with me. Plus, I know how excited you are about attending Royal Ascot tomorrow. Duty first!
Queen Katherine: I will have the flight plans requested with a departure time of 3 o'clock. I love you, mommy! Give grandma Niema my love.
Rowena, Queen Mother: (somber) Thank you. I love you too.

GRIFFIN PARK GRANNY
Tumblr media Tumblr media
[Buckingsim Palace, Buckingsimshire 12:23 PM WST]
Rowena, Queen Mother: Are you sure they said the Yellow Drawing Room? It looks dark down there?
Alfred Culpepper [Estate Manager]: That's what Her Majesty said, ma'am.
Tumblr media
Alfred [E.M.]: I'll check to make sure this is the correct location.
Rowena, Queen Mother: Thank you, Alfred. I'll just turn the lights on and wait in here.
Tumblr media
[ALL]: (excited) Surprise!!
Tumblr media
Rowena, Queen Mother: (gasps) Oh my goodness! What are you all doing in here? (laughs)
Tumblr media
Queen Katherine: We know how tough things have been for you the last few weeks so the kids wanted to surprise you with a 'Grandma Appreciation Day'.
Rowena, Queen Mother: What a lovely surprise!
Queen Katherine: Phillip desperately wanted to see again you before going back to Cheaves.
Tumblr media
Princess Grace: Welcome to our party, grandma!
Prince Phillip: (scoffs) It's not our party, Grace. It's grandma's party.
Queen Katherine: Phillip, don't be mean to your sister.
Tumblr media
Rowena, Queen Mother: Samuel! Look how big you've gotten in two weeks! Oh, Kate, this is just what I needed. We didn't get to spend much time together in Henford for the memorial.
Queen Katherine: I'm so glad Granny Niema is finally at rest, and that you were able to be with her.
Rowena, Queen Mother: So do I.
Tumblr media
Queen Katherine: I can't believe they're already five months old.
Rowena, Queen Mother: Time flies, darling.
Tumblr media
Rainier, Prince consort: Michael said he wants a kiss from grandma too!
Rowena, Queen Mother: [to Michael] Hi, sweet face! Grandma's big boy!
Rainier, Prince consort: They both have a busy schedule of eating, napping and pooping.
Tumblr media
Rowena, Queen Mother: Twins! It still blows my mind. George would be so tickled. (sighs) So much has changed over the past year.
Tumblr media
Prince Phillip: This was my idea, grandma! I want you to be happy.
Rowena, Queen Mother: You've made me very happy. I bet that big slice of cake is about to make you happy also!
Tumblr media
Queen Katherine: He wanted to do something to cheer you up. Babies always put a smile on my face. I knew grand babies would do the same for you!
Rowena, Queen Mother: It truly did!
Queen Katherine: There is something I'd like to talk with you about, though. Let's take a walk.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Queen Katherine: Royal Lodge needs more repairs than expected. I know you feel displaced right now but I have a solution.
Rowena, Queen Mother: What is that?
Queen Katherine: Granny has chosen not to move to Griffin Park. She'd like to remain here at the palace, and I agree. She'd be more comfortable staying here. As such, Griffin Park is now an option for you!
Tumblr media
Rowena, Queen Mother: Being on the mall, it's closer to the palace also!
Queen Katherine: It makes more sense. Griffin's been vacant for quite some time, but I'm sure it requires far less updating than Hardy Manor would have. Being a royal property, the duchy will cover repairs and updates.
Rowena, Queen Mother: (gasp) This is the best news ever! Now, I can keep the money your father left me!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Rowena, Queen Mother: (hug) You're my favorite granddaughter, you know that?
Princess Grace: (laughs) I'm your only granddaughter!
Tumblr media
Rowena, Queen Mother: I'm so glad you're enjoying Cheaves.
Prince Phillip: Yes. Mommy said it's the same school grandpa went to.
Rowena, Queen Mother: It sure is!
Tumblr media
Rowena, Queen Mother: (hug) You be a good boy, now. Grandma will try to visit you at Cheaves in a few weeks, okay?
Prince Phillip: Okay.
Rowena, Queen Mother: When you're home for the summer, I'll take you to Brindleton Bay. I know how much you love the boat shows there.
