CORONATION PART 2: THE PROCESSION

Cameron Dorly [SNN]: "At 10:00 AM the gates of Buckingsim Palace opened signaling the monarch is ready to depart. The balusters will be lowered just before the royal guard approaches. The Procession is about to begin and will follow a direct route to the Abbey."

Shon Gableton [SNN]: "Live at Westsimster Abbey, Hallie Howell is awaiting the arrival of the Royal family."

Cameron Dorly [SNN]: "Hallie, how is it?"

Hallie Howell [SNN]: Hi, Shon and Cameron! It's glorious here! There is such a feeling of newness in the air. It's palpable.

Cameron Dorly [SNN]: "We can feel it!"

Shon Gableton [SNN]: "The balusters were just lowered at the palace, and the Queen's procession is in view. Let's head back there."

- - - - - ROYAL PROCESSION - - - - -

Cameron Dorly [SNN]: Royal Guards lead the King's State Coach, carrying Queen Katherine I and Rainier, Prince consort. The coach is being pulled by 4 white Stallions.

Shon Gableton [SNN]: The King's State Coach was first used at the coronation of King Albert I in 1784 and has since been used to transport every monarch to their coronation. The coach has taken the longer route from Buckingsim Palace, down The Mall, since the coronation of King Edward I in 1888.

Cameron Dorly [SNN]: Rounding The Lara-Leigh Memorial, the Queen and Prince consort wave to the adoring crowd.

Shon Gableton [SNN]: This is our first glimpse of Her Majesty wearing the State Diamond Diadem, made in 1820 for King Albert I. Since King Albert I, the Diadem has only been worn by Windenburg queens, whether they reigned or were consorts. It was first worn by Queen Isabella, consort to Albert I, in 1830 after the Kings death.

Cameron Dorly [SNN]: Just behind The Queen's coach, in The Rolls Royce State Limousine, is The Queen Mother, The Prince of Brindleton Bay, and The Princess Grace. The little prince was expected to be amongst Royal Pages but insiders say The Queen preferred Maids of Honor.

Shon Gableton [SNN]: 136 years later, history is made as Queen Katherine I travels down The Mall preparing to be crowned this nations first Queen!

Cameron Dorly [SNN]: Let's head to Westsimster Abbey as the royal family arrives. Hallie?

Hallie Howell [SNN]: Yes, Cameron. The Royal Family has just arrived! The crowd erupted in a loud roar upon seeing four black Rolls Royce's, bearing the royal flag, approaching carrying senior members of the royal family.

Shon Gableton [SNN]: Guards stood at attention while the Queen and Prince consort's procession passed.

Cameron Dorly [SNN]: The tomb of the unknown soldier sits underneath Memorial Arch, and is the central location for Remembrance Day observations to honor armed forces members who have died in the line of duty.

Hallie Howell [SNN]: Back at the Abbey, the Duke and Duchess of Kent are the first to arrive, showing their roles as the most senior members of the royal family. Their Royal Highnesses also arrive in formal robes. The Duke wearing his Order of the Garter robe while the Duchess wears the Royal Edwardian Order mantle, reflecting her status as a Dame Grand Cross of the Royal Edwardian Order.

Shon Gableton [SNN]: "King George I named her a Dame Grand Cross of the Royal Edwardian Order, the highest possible rank, in 2007."

Hallie Howell [SNN]: He did, indeed!

Hallie Howell [SNN]: The Earl and Countess of St Peters followed. Prince Louis, heir to the dukedom of Kent, donned not only his Queen Katherine I Coronation medal but his Royal Edwardian Order, which were bestowed upon His Royal Highness last month. The Countess, wearing a green @sentate dress, wore the Royal Family Order of George I.

Hallie Howell [SNN]: Third to arrive is the younger sister of Queen Katherine, Princess Lara, Countess of Boykins and her husband Anthony, Earl of Boykins. The Princess is wearing a traditional coronation gown and tiara, along with the Windsor sash and the Royal Family Order of George I.

Hallie Howell [SNN]: The Duke and Duchess of Hastings arrive also in formal robes; equal to that of The Duke and Duchess of Kent. The Duke was invested as a Knight of the Garter in 2020 while the Duchess was invested as a Dame Grand Cross of the Royal Edwardian Order in 2022.

Cameron Dorly [SNN]: "You can see the slight difference in their robes."

Hallie Howell [SNN]: Yes, the robes of the Edwardian Order features a red stripe along the border. In a statement just released from the palace:

"At the request of the Queen and Prince consort, Dukes and Duchesses both are wearing formal robes and mantels for the [historic] occasion."

Cameron Dorly [SNN]: So, now we know attires have been well coordinated for the senior royals. Just like the royal guardsmen in the Queen's gorgeous procession, having just passed Memorial Arch.

Shon Gableton [SNN]: Yes! Her Majesty's procession is making its way down Parliament Square Street.

Shon Gableton [SNN]: Crowds cheer as Queen Katherine and Prince Rainier pass.

Shon Gableton [SNN]: At the west door of the Abbey, Officers of the Order of Knighthood descend from upstairs to begin the Coronation Procession. It will be a procession composed of elements of both the Church and State, the Spiritual and Temporal life of our land.

Shon Gableton [SNN]: Representatives of The Knights of the most noble Order of the Garter make their way down the naive first, in their blue robes. They are followed by representatives of the most honorable Order of the Protea, in robes of green.

Cameron Dorly [SNN]: The rich blue carpet spreads down the aisle of the sanctuary, which hides the black and white checkered floor of the choir of the Abbey. The beautiful contrast of colors inside the abbey is on full display.

Cameron Dorly [SNN]: Once again the color changes and there comes the most ancient Order of the Iwé, in scarlet robes.

Cameron Dorly [SNN]: After a brief gap, the Prime Minister of Brindleton Bay along with the Prime Minister of Sulani follow. Behind them, the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, the Rt. Hon. Sir Linwood Keller, Knight of the Garter.

Shon Gableton [SNN]: Immediately behind the Prime Minister is the Dean of Westsimster. He leads the next procession through the screen under the orchestra and the organ and out into the brilliance of the choir. We see them now, high above the alter, as the Cross of Westsimster is born by the Rev. Hilliard.

Shon Gableton [SNN]: Following the dean are Representatives from the churches of Windenburg and Brindleton Bay, showing the processions transition from State to Church.

Shon Gableton [SNN]: The Church of Winenburg representatives include the Lord Bishops who end the first part of the coronation procession.

Cameron Dorly [SNN]: After a brief pause, we see a glimpse of the Heralds in their full splendor. Four Windenburg heralds followed by one Brindleton Bay herald stand as trumpets play announcing The Queen.

Shon Gableton [SNN]: With the sound of the trumpets anthem, The Queen and Prince consort's arrival at the Abbey has been announced.

BUCKINGSIMSHIRE, Windenburg (SNN) - - Queen Katherine attended the ribbon cutting to unveil renovations made at Lara-Leigh Memorial. It is a monument to Queen Lara-Leigh, located at the end of The Mall.

The memorial was damaged by PETA protesters during the "Million Ranchers March" on 7 November 2016, which took place in greater Easton focused on Old Platz Plaza and outside Buckingsim Palace.

During the following year's protests, the memorial was guarded by police officers.

The Mall began as part of the tended grounds of Buckingsim Palace in the 1860s. It was envisioned as a major national ceremonial route in the early 20th century, matching the creation of similar ceremonial routes in other cities such as Mt. Komorebi and Willow Creek. As part of this development, a new façade was constructed for Buckingsim Palace to face down the Mall.

King Edward II suggested that a joint Parliamentary committee be formed to develop plans for a Memorial to his mother, Queen Lara-Leigh, following her death in 1961.

A number of sites were suggested and the decision was announced to locate the memorial outside Buckingsim Palace and slightly shorten The Mall.

Once the site was selected, the committee selected its primary choice for the construction and took it to the King for approval. Brock Speedy was chosen as the designer.

The Mall stretches a quarter mile and ends on the eastern end, at Memorial Arch.

During Trooping the Colors and other big National events, the Mall is used with Memorial Arch and the Lara-Leigh Memorial as central focuses. The annual Easton Marathon also finishes down The Mall.

Every sovereign, since Edward I, has enjoyed waving to the many on-lookers who line the mall for a glimpse as they pass. Spectators have even been known to climb the Lara Memorial to witness the royal family step out on the balcony of Buckingsim Palace.

Queen Katherine looked chic in red, wearing the Duchess of Brindleton Bay Pearl Brooch.

At the top of the central pylon stands a gilded bronze statue of Lara-Leigh, Queen Mother.

Speedy described the symbolism of the memorial, saying that it was devoted to the "qualities which made our Queen so great and so much beloved." He added that the statue of the Queen Mother was placed to face towards the city to represent her "great love for her people."

Following in her great-grandmothers footsteps, Queen Katherine has a great love for the people. Her Majesty was seen receiving flowers from a young schoolgirl.

The Easton Fountain was used to supply water to the town in the 1800s. King Edward II had it refurbished and erected in Easton Park in 1937. The park closed in 2021 and Queen Katherine moved the fountain in front of the memorial during these latest renovations.

Beneath the Lara-Leigh statue, on the eastern and western sides of the memorial, are two lions, representing Peace.

Opposite these, statues of a relaxed Queen Isabella (facing The Mall) and Albert I (facing Buckingsim Palace) depicted with his descendants. These were created from solid blocks of marble.

Amongst the renovations, were the extension of the sidewalk and the addition of balusters.

The palace hopes the renovations will make the memorial easier to visit, while not impeding traffic. The Mall will maintain its current schedule; closed to traffic on Saturdays, Sundays, public holidays and on ceremonial occasions.

We expect the memorial to be very crowded during Her Majesty's coronation as millions of sims around the world will be watching.

Cameron Dorly [SNN]: A fire broke out at Royal Lodge around 5pm last night. What we know is that the vacant townhome caught fire and substantial damage was done to two of the three floors. The lodge consists of three townhomes. The Earl and Countess of Boykins and Princess Anna of Kent reside in two of them.

Shon Gableton [SNN]: Oh no!

Cameron Dorly [SNN]: Buckingsim Palace released a statement this morning confirming the fire, thanking the Easton Fire Department, and stating that no-one was harmed in the fire. Hallie is live at Easton Fire Station #2230 with the Captain whose team only moments ago returned from putting out the blaze.

Hallie Howell [SNN]: Hi, Cameron and Shon, yes I’m here with #2230 Captain, Jermaine Askew, who led a team of firefighters at the Royal Lodge fire. Captain, what can you tell us?

Jermaine Askew [Captain]: Yeah, we received a call just after 5pm about a fire at the royal property. Our crews arrived to the scene about 6 minutes later. A fire broke out in one of the upstairs rooms of the vacant townhome. We were able to put the fire out but substantial damage was done to two floors.

Hallie Howell [SNN]: Are you able to speculate as to what may have caused the fire?

Jermaine Askew [Captain]: Not at this time.

Hallie Howell [SNN]: Thank you, Captain. Cameron and Shon, back to you in the studio.

The official title change came when the Letters Patent passed the Great Seal of the Realm on Feb. 25.

Prince of Brindleton Bay is the title traditionally given to the heir apparent of the Windenburg throne. It was suggested to King George that, as heir apparent, Princess Katherine be granted the title Princess of Brindleton Bay on her 18th birthday, but he rejected the idea because he felt such a title belonged solely to the wife of a prince of Brindleton Bay and the prince of Brindleton Bay had always been the heir apparent. Thus, the dukedom of Cambridge was granted to Prince Rainier on their wedding day.

Brindleton Bay is a country that forms part of the island of Great Brindle. It is bordered by Windenburg to the east, the Willow Sea to the north west, the South Brindleton Sea to the south west and the Simmy Channel to the south. There are two countries that make up the island: Brindleton Bay and Windenburg. Brindleton Bay is part of the United Kingdom; though the governments of the UK and of Brindleton Bay almost invariably define them as a country. The Brindlish Government says: "Brindleton Bay is not a Principality. Although we are joined with Windenburg by land, and we are part of the UK, Brindleton Bay is a country in its own right.”

Prior to the end of the Brindleton Bay monarchy in the 18th century, Prince of Brindleton Bay was used by the ruling Windsors’ of independent Brindleton Bay. After becoming King of Brindleton Bay and Windenburg, Albert I gave the title to his son, the future Albert II.

Prince Phillip and Princess Grace, formerly known as the Prince and Princess of Cambridge, are now referred to by their new last names. They are now Prince Phillip of Brindleton Bay and Princess Grace of Brindleton Bay.

- The Duchess of Brindleton Bay, formerly the Duchess of Cambridge, is wearing the Queen Zarah Sapphire Coronet and the Diamond Star of Brindleton Brooch by @batsfromwesteros.

CORONATION PART 4: THE HOMAGE

Cameron Dorly [SNN]: Welcome back to the coronation of Queen Katherine I. As Her Majesty moves to the Homage chair, we get a glimpse of King Felipe and Queen Aoki of Oasis Springs.

Shon Gableton [SNN]: Further down his row is President and First Gentleman of the United States of Americreek, Paulina and Prescott McNally.

Cameron Dorly [SNN]: Yes! Just behind them is the Emperor and Empress of Sulani, Keanu and Lorelei Boulle.

Cameron Dorly [SNN]: Her Majesty has made her way to the Homage chair as we get a glimpse of the first to kneel.

Shon Gableton [SNN]: The Duke of Kent is first to pay homage.

Prince Louis: "I Louis, Duke of Kent, pledge my loyalty to you in faith and truth. I will bear unto you, as your liege man of life and limb, so help me God."

Prince Vester: "I Vester, Duke of Hastings, pledge my loyalty to you in faith and truth. I will bear unto you, as your liege man of life and limb, so help me God."

Shon Gableton [SNN]: We now move to the crowning of Prince Rainier. It appears he will not be kneeling.

Shon Gableton [SNN]: His Royal Highness is being crowned with The Prince Rainier Crown.

Cameron Dorly [SNN]: The crown was made for His Royal Highness, unlike the crown worn by Queen Rowena. Her Majesty wears Queen Lara-Leigh’s Crown, designed by Hammond & Co for the 1888 coronation of her husband, King Edward I.

Shon Gableton [SNN]: The same crown she wore for the 1992 coronation of her husband, King George I?

Cameron Dorly [SNN]: Yes! Her Majesty just removed the arches.

Cameron Dorly [SNN]: His Royal Highness is making his way back to his Estate chair, after removing his robe. While The Queen sat in the Coronation Chair to be crowned, His Royal Highness will be seated in his Chair of Estate when the Crown is placed on his head.

Shon Gableton [SNN]: Windenburg has officially crowned it's first Prince consort!

Cameron Dorly [SNN]: Her Majesty is moving back to the Enthronement chair, for the final proclamation, after removing her supertunica.

Shon Gableton [SNN]: Her Majesty also appears to now be wearing The Imperial State Crown.

Cameron Dorly [SNN]: Good catch, Shon!

Archbishop of Calgary: "I hereby present unto you your undoubted Queen and Prince consort of the most holy realm of Windenburg."

All: “All hail the Queen! All hail the Queen! All hail the Queen!”

EASTON, Windenburg (SNN) - - Queen Katherine attended the Beacon Gala last night, an event not originally on Her Majesty's calendar. The gala is thrown annually by the Royal Arts Foundation and ends with a highly-anticipated auction.

The Queen not only attended but met some new Windenburg "royalty", and introduced the gala's Lifetime Achievement Award recipient, Juliana Jackson.

Queen Katherine and Jackson have been friends for many years and upon hearing of Jackson as the honoree, accepted an invitation. The pair, along with the Prince consort, entered the gala together and were seen mingling with guests.

Her Majesty wore the Queen of Silk gown by @mssims and paired it with the Lucille tiara and diamond choker. Choosing to wear only the Royal Orders of George I and the Order of the Garter, Her Majesty wanted to highlight the gown. The palace confirmed the African print was a nod to her maternal grandmother, Princess Niema of Zulu, who recently died.

Queen Katherine also met Miss Windenburg, Katurah Stewart, the gala's Young Achievers Award recipient.

Stewart wore a green Celebrate gown by @mssims and donned her Miss Windenburg crown.

Katurah, who won the Miss Windenburg crown in January, also took home the Miss Universe Sims crown last week becoming an overnight star and catapulting her into demand.

The 21 year old represented the nation competing against 41 other countries to win the 2024 crown.

The Balsimore native is the first woman, and African-American, to win Miss Universe Sims and Miss Windenburg at the same time, and much of her platform is about embracing your culture through the Arts.

She is an eco-friendly fashion designer, model, and classical vocal instructor based in Easton, and is a voice for African-Americans, opening the door for more diversity and representation in the Arts society.

Miss Universe chatted with the Prince consort, discussing collective initiatives. As patron of the Royal Arts Foundation, Prince Rainier will be working closely with the new Miss Windenburg.

Queen Katherine spoke to the gala attendees and introduced Juliana Jackson, before partaking in the gala's final festivities.

Her Majesty joined in on the auction, where all proceeds go to support the Gala's charity.

The palace confirmed Her Majesty bid on, and won, the Elisabeth of Belgium’s Diamond bandeau and a pink diamond ring. Estimated at §1.1m simoleons, they are said to be gifts for her daughter, Princess Grace.

By Shon Gableton | Published by SNN

The Academy of Simmy Picture Arts and Sciences (ASPAS, also known as the Academy or the Simmy Picture Academy) is a professional honorary organization in Del Sol Valley, United States of Americreek, with the stated goal of advancing the arts and sciences of simmy pictures.

The Academy is known around the world for its annual Academy Awards, now officially and popularly known as "The Olivias". Princess Lara and her husband Prince Anthony, grandson of Leona Basse, attended the 84th annual Academy Awards.

It was no doubt a poignant moment for Anthony, remembering his grandmother nearly 30 years after her death. The occasion also marked the royal couples first oversees trip since announcing their pregnancy.

Since its inception in 1924, the likes of Oasis Springs' Princess Akima of Monaco and of course Anthony's grandmother have attended - the latter scooping the Best Actress award in 1965 for her role in The Country Lady - plus there have been several royal appearances at the glitziest Olivia parties.

Before marrying his maternal grandfather, the famed Windenburg illustrator Emmanuel Addie, Leona Basse accepted her Best Actress award at the 1965 ceremony, which was also held at the Garwin Theatre in Del Sol Valley.

Above, she is photographed with fellow actor Harry Belatiér, who won Best Actor for his performance in The Barefoot Bride the same year. Just a month later, she would move to Windenburg and marry Addie.

In 1966, the actress did not return to award that year's Best Actor award, as is customary, due to being pregnant and unable to fly overseas.

Walking the red carpet, the Countess of Boykins wore a stunning pale-blue gown by designer @rustys-cc, with short sleeves and pleated detailing. Here, the gorgeous silhouette can be seen, as well as Lara's elegant up-do.

A close-up of the royal's beautiful aquamarine diamond earrings (a gift from Prince Anthony), clutch, and her glowing beauty. Her Royal Highness was thought to have taken inspiration from her late grandmother-in-law's own red carpet style, since she often styled her hair in a similar shape.

At this year's ceremony, Silver Screen Icon, Dame Dorothy Dunbridge CWE received an Honorary Award. The 91 year old Windenburg actress attained international stardom and critical acclaim in both musical and dramatic roles, as a recording artist, and on the concert stage with a career spanning seven decades.

Dunbridge was one of the most popular stars of classical Simmywood cinema in the 1950s. Best friend to Leona Basse, she is also godmother to both Prince Anthony and his mother.

The Academy's Honorary Award is given to honor extraordinary distinction in lifetime achievement, exceptional contributions to the state of simmy picture arts and sciences, or for outstanding service to the Academy.

Shon Gableton [SNN]: The Archbishop is speaking. The coronation ceremony is beginning!

- - - - - THE CEREMONY - - - - -

In the name of the Father, the son and the Holy Ghost. Amen."

Cameron Dorly [SNN]: With the canopy removed, The Queen is now ready to receive the regalia, the emblems of majesty.

(The Archbishop crowns Queen Katherine)

All: "All hail the Queen! All hail the Queen! All hail the Queen!"

(Trumpets blare)

Archbishop of Calgary: "God crown you with a crown of glory and righteousness, the heavy a right faith, and many-fold fruit of good work you may obtain a crown of an everlasting kingdom by the gift of Him whose kingdom endureth forever.

All: "Amen."

BALSIMORE, Windenburg (SNN) - Queen Katherine is back at one of the biggest social events of the year; Royal Ascot!

The monarch, 31, arrived at Royal Ascot on Saturday after missing the horse racing event last year due to maternity leave. It is the first engagement to go into her diary at the start of the year.

We were all waiting to see what color the Queen would wear and, for this year's outing, the monarch wore a yellow Bea dress by @theroyalsims, with a matching Princess of...IX hat by @rustys-cc — and arrived to cheers from the crowd of racegoers.

Easton Racecourse is rich in history and heritage, hosting one of the world's most prestigious race meetings, Royal Ascot, as well as 13 of Windenburg's annual Flat Group 1 horse races, and numerous Grade 1 Jumps races. Designed by @albanyroyals, it is a popular Windenburg venue!

The Queen, who adores racing and loves Ascot, is scheduled to bring guests, and members of her family with her on each of the three days of the event. We will be excited to see if yellow will remain Her Majesty's color theme.

Missing from Her Majesty's attire is a brooch! The new Queen has already become quite synonymous for adorning many of the pieces within the Jewels of the Crown.

Rainier, Prince consort looked dashing in a @melonsloth morning suit and top hat. As Chair of the Queens Coronation Committee, His Royal Highness has been quite busy. Invites were released last week confirming May 18th as the day of the Queens Coronation.

Riding in the first Carriage with Her Majesty and the Prince consort are the Grand Duke and Duchess of Glimmerbrook.

The Grand Duke and Duchess were elated to accompany Her Majesty on Day 1 of the Ascot. Considered a prestigious honor, it symbolizes a strong bond between the two nations.

Glimmerbrook, less than two years ago ceded from Oasis Springs and regained sovereignty, in a deal many believe His late Majesty George I was a strong supporter of.

The Duke and Duchess of Kent, and the Earl and Countess of Boykins followed in the second carriage.

The Duchess of Kent looked chic in a vintage 1960s Audrey Hepburn dress and white cocktail hat.

Avid equestrians, the Duke and Duchess have attended Day 1 of Royal Ascot for the past 24 years.

The Earl and Countess of Boykins were equally chic, while the earl enjoyed his first Ascot as a member of the royal family. The Princess looked classic in purple wearing a Cordelia dress by @sentate, and another gorgeous cocktail hat by @melonsloth.

Everyone is waiting to catch a blimps of the Queen. Despite the fact that we've had some showers, it hasn't dampened Sims spirits. They are all in, keen to see her!

You'll notice the carriages are open and, unless it is pouring down, the monarch will keep the carriage top open to be seen. For many, this is the closest opportunity they will get to the monarch.

Having become close with the foreign royals since becoming Queen, it's speculated that the Duke of Glimmerbrook is on Her Majesty's short list to be invested as a Knight of the Order of the Garter in June.

The Queen will take a right, the same way the winners of the race this afternoon will take, under that tunnel to end the royal procession; but not before passing the Wayne Roof where a reception for Her Majesty will be held.

The Queen arrived, welcomed by Gary Baumgartner, Her Majesty's representative here at Ascot, Alvin Duvalton, the Chairman, Richard Paxton, Co-Chairman, and four trustees of the business.

Her love of this sport just glows ever strong! Journalists, Anderson Crooper said this week, "Racing is so lucky to have Her Majesty the Queen continuing the legacy of Ascot started by her great-grandparents in this sport." Sentiments we here at SNN echo!

This concludes SNNs coverage of Royal Ascot: The Royal Procession Day 1.

BUCKINGSIMSHIRE, Windenburg (SNN) - - With two weeks before coronation, the Queen's first royal tour has been announced!

The Queen and Prince Rainier will visit Americreek in the coming months, according to the latest press release from the Palace. The tour will mark Queen Katherine's first oversees trip as sovereign.

Although the itinerary has not yet been revealed, it has been confirmed that the trip will stretch over four days.

Americreek, with its booming economy and powerful military and defense forces, is one of the "powerhouses" west of Windenburg.

Although Windenburg and Americreek share a rather troubled past, for well over two century's, the two countries have become each other's strongest allies.

The Queen and Prince consort are expected to be welcomed by Americreek President Paulina McNally, and First Gentleman Prescott McNally, upon their arrival. President McNally was the last foreign leader the Queen received before taking maternity leave last year.

EASTON, Windenburg (SNN) - Queen Katherine I made her eldest son, Phillip, Prince of Brindleton Bay, during a speech at Buckingsim Palace marking the one year anniversary of her accession. With the title of Prince of Brindleton Bay goes the second title of Earl of Cavalier.

Wearing the Queen Lara-Leigh Rubi and Diamond Knot Brooch, the Queen, announced:

"I intend to create my son, Phillip, Prince of Brindleton Bay, today. As my Heir, Phillip now assumes the Brindleton Bay titles which have meant so much to me."

The seven year old prince watched the queen's speech in a room at Cheaves school, where he is a boarder.

Phillip was previously styled as "His Royal Highness Prince Phillip of Brindleton Bay" per letters patent issued by his grandfather King George I.

Upon the accession of his mother as queen last year, as the eldest son of the monarch, Phillip automatically became, in Windenburg, the Duke of York, Earl of Lester, Baron of Balsimore, Lord of the Isles, and Prince and Great Steward of Brindleton Bay. As such, he was styled "His Royal Highness The Duke of York", except in Brindleton Bay, where he is known as "His Royal Highness The Duke of Cavalier" instead.

His Royal Highness is the 4th to be given the title. Katherine's father, King George I, had been the previous Prince of Brindleton Bay and had been invested in 1983 before becoming King in 1992.

The Letters Patent, issued on 18 March 2024, formalized the creation.

Katherine I is set to echo the poignant tradition set by her late father by spending her accession day anniversary - the day her father King George I died and she became queen - at the home in which the previous monarch died. She'll mark her first full year on the throne at the royals' Sumpterson estate in Henford with a special memorial service.

Katherine's accession day occurred on March 21, 2023.

Cameron Dorly [SNN]: Queen Katherine looked radiant while attending the National service of thanksgiving at St Aarons Church this morning.

Shon Gableton [SNN]: Absolutely! Her Majesty is just starting to show, and by our calculations is around three months pregnant! Although still in mourning, Her Majesty broke from tradition to wear a yellow Somerville Coat Dress and Hat by @warwickroyals. The royal stylist is showcasing Queen Katherine’s transition from princess to a confident, savvy sovereign, and bold colors help!

Shon Gableton [SNN]: “Not to out-do her attire, Her Majesty also wore the Diamond Star of Brindleton Brooch by @batsfromwesteros.”

Cameron Dorly [SNN]: “Wasn't that commissioned by Albert II in 1849, as a gift to his wife, Adaline?”

Shon Gableton [SNN]: “Correct! It’s an old piece, and is absolutely lovely and classic, and the fact that it’s an all-diamond piece means that it can be coordinated with a large number of outfits.”

Shon Gableton [SNN]: I’m getting a sense that the Queen has a fondness for Brindleton Bay, also. This is the second time Her Majesty has worn a brooch titled after the commonwealth.”

Cameron Dorly [SNN]: Yes, during her Accession speech last month, the new Queen wore the Duchess of Brindleton Bay Pearl Brooch. Her Majesty also wore the piece last April, as then Duchess of Brindleton Bay, in the official portrait marking George I’s 31 years on the throne.

Shon Gableton [SNN]: Okay, enough about Her Majesty’s fashion, let’s talk about her first royal engagement as sovereign; attending a national service of thanksgiving! How fitting of a way to begin her reign.

Cameron Dorly [SNN]: I think Windenburg is in good hands with our new queen, Katherine I!

On International Women’s Day, The Queen Consort hosted women from across society at Buckingsim Palace to celebrate the achievements and impact of women in a wide range of fields.

For a 12th year in a row, the luncheon was held in the State Dining Room at Buckingsim Palace. Portraits of a young Amelia, Princess Royal and Queen consort Lara-Leigh were also displayed on the walls.

The room full of 90 Women were serenaded by Windenburg Opera legend, Leontyn Graves, whose success broke countless barriers for Sims Women of Color in opera.

After lunch, The Queen consort held more in-depth discussions about issues and causes the women are involved in and ways in-which the Palace can continue being of support.

Her Majesty wore a white Beau-tie Coatdress by @warwickroyals which was topped off by Queen Lara-Leigh’s Flower Emerald brooch by @thesimpireblr.

The brooch features a large faceted emerald surrounded by diamonds in a modern floral design and a diamond chain with a pear-shaped diamond drop. The palace confirmed the brooch was loaned to Her Majesty from The Queen Mother, who is still keeper of the Jewels of the Crown.

Many have speculated that this brooch was part of the massive Hammond Bequest, a jewelry collection bequeathed to Queen Lara-Leigh by Mrs. Hammond in 1932.
