CORONATION PART 2: THE PROCESSION
Tumblr media
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."
Tumblr media
Shon Gableton [SNN]: "Live at Westsimster Abbey, Hallie Howell is awaiting the arrival of the Royal family."
Cameron Dorly [SNN]: "Hallie, how is it?"
Tumblr media
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 - - - - -
Tumblr media
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.
Tumblr media
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.
Tumblr media
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.
Tumblr media
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.
Tumblr media
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!
Tumblr media
Cameron Dorly [SNN]: Let's head to Westsimster Abbey as the royal family arrives. Hallie?
Tumblr media
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.
Tumblr media
Shon Gableton [SNN]: Guards stood at attention while the Queen and Prince consort's procession passed.
Tumblr media
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.
Tumblr media
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!
Tumblr media
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.
Tumblr media
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.
Tumblr media
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."
Tumblr media
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."
Tumblr media
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.
Tumblr media
Shon Gableton [SNN]: Yes! Her Majesty's procession is making its way down Parliament Square Street.
Tumblr media
Shon Gableton [SNN]: Crowds cheer as Queen Katherine and Prince Rainier pass.
Tumblr media
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.
Tumblr media
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.
Tumblr media
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.
Tumblr media
Cameron Dorly [SNN]: Once again the color changes and there comes the most ancient Order of the Iwé, in scarlet robes.
Tumblr media
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.
Tumblr media
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.
Tumblr media
Shon Gableton [SNN]: Following the dean are Representatives from the churches of Windenburg and Brindleton Bay, showing the processions transition from State to Church.
Tumblr media
Shon Gableton [SNN]: The Church of Winenburg representatives include the Lord Bishops who end the first part of the coronation procession.
Tumblr media
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.
Tumblr media
Shon Gableton [SNN]: With the sound of the trumpets anthem, The Queen and Prince consort's arrival at the Abbey has been announced.

Happy December! What were your favourite moments of 2022 on simblr? They can be from your blog or someone else’s <3
Hahaha would you imagine if my favourite moments were strictly from my blog??!
Anyway, thank you for the ask, I admit I am a bit overwhelemed and I am not even sure where to begin, but I'll mention a few highlights:
The wedding of Princess Lara from @simshousewindsor
All Update from @royalsimsinsider and especially the thriving storyline of our shared royal character HRH Prince Colten Jackson, I couldn't be more proud
The coronations of Queen Irene and Queen Helena from @albanyroyals and @thegrimalldis (both pages that i adoooore)
The biggest highlight though would be getting a mention/highlight from @melonsloth. The was one of the first pages I ever followed, they still inspire me today. I remember stumbling across their page and immediately fangirling (I believe i even sent a message haha). So it is truly an honour.

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.
Tumblr media
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.
Tumblr media
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.
Tumblr media
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.
Tumblr media
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.
Tumblr media
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.
Tumblr media
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.
Tumblr media
Queen Katherine spoke to the gala attendees and introduced Juliana Jackson, before partaking in the gala's final festivities.
Tumblr media
Her Majesty joined in on the auction, where all proceeds go to support the Gala's charity.
Tumblr media
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.

QUEST COMPLETE
Tumblr media Tumblr media
[Edward I Airport, The Windsor Royal Terminal 11:23 AM WST]
Grand Duchess Kamill: (disembarking)
Tumblr media
Grand Duchess Kamill: (walking)
Tumblr media
Queen Katherine: Grand Duchess, thank you so much for accepting my audience request. I hope your flight was pleasant.
Grand Duchess Kamill: It was, Your Majesty.
Tumblr media
Queen Katherine: I hope you don't mind the private nature of the meeting.
Grand Duchess Kamill: Not at all. We have much to discuss.
Tumblr media
Queen Katherine: The Conservative Party will never pass a bill legalizing spellcasting! They control the House.
Grand Duchess Kamill: Change who controls the House.
Queen Katherine: How do I do that?
Grand Duchess Kamill: You are the Queen, aren't you?
Tumblr media
Queen Katherine: How do I lose these powers?
Grand Duchess Kamill: As an adult, without the Right of Ascension you will lose your powers at midnight. That spell only gave you temporary powers. The stone, which I now posess, amplifies them.
Tumblr media
Queen Katherine: What about my children?
Grand Duchess Kamill: They each were given the spellcaster trait that night, something you lack. Children with the trait do not need the Right. Their powers will manifest upon turning thirteen.
Queen Katherine: I guess our business is done.
Tumblr media
Grand Duchess Kamill: I never apologized.
Queen Katherine: For what?
Grand Duchess Kamill: Your father. He was a kind man. When we first started this quest, we thought we were just looking for a simple amethyst. What we found was so much more but it led to his death and for that, I'm sorry. I know you never asked for this but I believe he would be happy with your decisions.
Queen Katherine: Thank you.
Tumblr media
Grand Duchess Kamill: If you change your mind before midnight, call me!
Queen Katherine: (laughs)

Queen Katherine I presented Bethany Anne Johnston with her Officer of the Windenburg Empire (OWE) medal during an Investiture ceremony at Buckingsim Palace today to recognize her glittering acting career.
The investiture marked the first since Her Majesty was crowned two weeks ago, and the amount of press allowed in the throne room revealed just how popular Windenburg's new Queen is.
Tumblr media
The actress, Bethany Anne Johnston, who famously played Cassidy Hall in Olivia-winning film The Meadow's Breeze, received the award during today's investiture ceremony but declined to speak to the waiting press after receiving the honor.
Tumblr media
She was dressed in a striking purple gown with high collar and sleeves.
Tumblr media
The Queen, who has had a busy schedule of events since coronation, wore The Roz dress by one of her favorite designers, @theroyalsims, and appeared happy while greeting her investiture guests. For footwear, the Queen chose her favorite black heels.
Queen Katherine’s jewelery accessories usually remain the same for these sorts of audiences. She chose her stud pearl earrings paired with a two-strand pearl necklace.
Tumblr media
Bethany, who has twice been Olivia-nominated, including for her The Meadow's Breeze supporting actress role, made her name with a string of appearances in Merchant Silk films, before appearances in Simmywood blockbusters including Fight Clubs, Planet Of The Werewolves and the Henry Skillet films.

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.
Tumblr media
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.
Tumblr media
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.
Tumblr media
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.
Tumblr media
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.
Tumblr media
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.

LONELINESS
Tumblr media Tumblr media
[Buckingsim Palace, Buckingsimshire 1:37 PM WST]
Alfred Culpepper [Estate Manager]: Welcome back, Your Majesty.
Queen Katherine: Thank you, Alfred.
Alfred [E.M.]: Lunch will be ready in twenty minutes.
Tumblr media
Alfred [E.M.]: How was church?
Queen Katherine: Soul-stirring!
Tumblr media
Alfred [E.M.]: Welcome back, Your Royal Highnesses.
Prince Phillip: Alfred? What do you want to be when you grow up?
Alfred [E.M.]: That's a good question, sir! How's about I think about it and let you know at lunch?
Queen Katherine: Go and get washed up, children.
Tumblr media
Queen Katherine: Alfred, do any of the palace staff have children?
Alfred [E.M.]: Why do you ask, ma'am?
Tumblr media
Alfred [E.M.]: Is everything okay? Did something happen?
Queen Katherine: No, none of that. Phillip seems so lonely here. When Lara and I were children, our cousins were always here playing with us, along with children of the staff. The palace was fun as a child. Phillip and Grace don't have cousins close by anymore. After the fire at Royal Lodge, Anna and Marsh moved back to East Sussex with Sadira and Martin.
Alfred [E.M.]: I understand, ma'am.
Tumblr media
Queen Katherine: As heir, Phillip should enjoy the palace as I did as a child.
Alfred [E.M.]: A few of the staff have children but there is only one who has a child that is close in age to the young Prince.
Queen Katherine: Oh?
Tumblr media
Alfred [E.M.]: It could be rather tricky. It's one of the palace housekeepers, Monica.
Queen Katherine: I know Monica! She has a son?
Alfred [E.M.]: Yes. He's 8. The Queen Mother was fond of him.
Tumblr media
Queen Katherine: What happened?
Alfred [E.M.]: That's the tricky part. The boys father is a butler at Beaverdam. Carlton, Your Majesty.
Queen Katherine: What? At Beaverdam? That's over 300 miles away!
Tumblr media
Alfred [E.M.]: They have joint custody, and have been splitting up their son's life for the past two years between Windenburg and Brindleton Bay.
Queen Katherine: That's unacceptable. I'd like to meet them!
Alfred [E.M.]: Who, Your Majesty?
Tumblr media
Queen Katherine: Monica, Carlton and their son. What's his name?
Alfred [E.M.]: Kevin, ma'am. I have not seen him lately which means he may be with his father at Beaverdam.
Queen Katherine: Where is Monica?
Tumblr media
Alfred [E.M.]: I will find her, ma'am.
Queen Katherine: Thank you, Alfred.
Tumblr media
- - - - - LATER - - - - -
Tumblr media
[Buckingsim Palace, Buckingsimshire 4:25 PM WST]
Alfred [E.M.]: Monica Sanders, Your Majesty.
Monica Sanders: (curtsy) Your Majesty.
Tumblr media
Queen Katherine: Monica. Please, come in.
Tumblr media
Queen Katherine: I'm sure you're busy so I won't keep you long.
Monica: I was quite surprised when Alfred said you wanted to see me, ma'am. This feels a bit like I'm being called to the principles offices.
Tumblr media
Queen Katherine: I can assure you, it's nothing negative.
Monica: How may I help you, Your Majesty?
Queen Katherine: Please, have a seat.
Tumblr media
Queen Katherine: ...so, when Alfred mentioned you also had a son of similar age who was also a frequent guest of the palace, I wondered if you'd be open to them having a playdate?
Monica: I don't know what to say.
Tumblr media
Queen Katherine: I'm sure this is beyond random.
Monica: (excited) Kevin and I would be honored! He is a little shy, and has found it quite challenging to maintain friends the last few years. I told him it won't always be like this.
Queen Katherine: Yes! They will be teenagers in a few short years.
Monica: The teen years!
Tumblr media
Queen Katherine: Is Kevin's father happy at Beaverdam?
Monica: Of course, Your Majesty! We both are!
Queen Katherine: No, I'm sorry. I meant, would he be happier working here? Children aren't the only ones who suffer from loneliness. I'd like to transfer him here, if it's something you both would like.
Monica: (shocked) Your Majesty! That... that would be amazing!

[Buckingsim Palace, Buckingsimshire 11:23 AM WST]
[??]: (on the phone) We'll only be gone a week. Anthony is so excited. Thankfully my morning sickness has passed.
Queen Katherine: Have a fun time in Americreek, Lara. I've never been invited to the Academy Awards, so you'll have to tell me all about the celebrities when you return!
Tumblr media
Queen Katherine: I should go. I'm only allowed five minutes of fun per day and Uncle Louis' antics this morning took up twenty! (laughs)
Princess Lara: (on the phone) Get back to work, Your Majesty! (laughs)
Queen Katherine: Love you!
Tumblr media
Martin Lavelle [Private Secretary]: Your Majesty. Before your next audience, we need to finalize plans for Garter Day. With three weeks until the ceremony, much is still left unresolved.
Queen Katherine: Why are we so behind?
Tumblr media
Martin [P.S.]: (confused) Your coronation, ma'am.
Queen Katherine: Oh yes! That was just last week. Goodness. So much has happened since.
Martin [P.S.]: Many of the Knights felt snubbed by not being permitted to join the Knights' procession during the coronation.
Tumblr media
Martin [P.S.]: The orders leadership has asked that you restore tradition, by granting full pomp and circumstance for this year's ceremony.
Queen Katherine: (annoyed) Leadership? I am the orders leadership! They should be reminded that I am Sovereign of the Garter. The Monarch alone decides who is appointed and removed.
Tumblr media
Martin [P.S.]: Your Majesty. With this being your first Garter Day since crowning, parliament would approve the additional expenditure.
Tumblr media
Queen Katherine: Would I still have time to go to Beaverdam beforehand?
Martin [P.S.]: I'm afraid not, ma'am. For a traditional ceremony, you would require an additional three days of rehearsals. Unfortunately, your schedule would not allow for another vacation until the end of July, after Trooping the Colors.
Queen Katherine: (sighs)
Tumblr media
Martin [P.S.]: We also need to talk about Windsor Castle. This is the first year the castle will host Garter Day since renovations began in 2021! The Queen Mother was heavily involved in the luncheon's planning and...
Queen Katherine: Thank you, Martin. As Prince consort, Rainier is more than capable of taking those responsibilities from the Queen Mother.
Martin [P.S.]: Yes! Of course. Yes, Your Majesty.

[Griffin Park, Buckingsimshire 11:43 AM WST]
Lady Sonja [Lady-in-Waiting]: The Women's Foundation sent a letter of thanks for attending their luncheon yesterday, along with a lovely bouquet of flowers.
Delores Bryant [Private Secretary]: How lovely, especially after not having invited you the last two years.
Tumblr media
Delores [P.S.]: It appears the negativity from the scandal has finally been forgotten. Your approval ratings have also improved since the coronation!
Queen Rowena: A new chapter is beginning.
Delores [P.S.]: You endured so much hate over the last three years, and then to lose your husband! No-one understands how much you have truly given to this country, ma'am. I'm glad to see Windenburg showing you the love and respect you deserve again.
(phone rings)
Tumblr media
Delores [P.S.]: Griffin Park, this is Delores.
[??]: (on the phone) Hello. Is this the office of the Queen Mother? This is Sister Angela. I am the aide of Mother LaKisha.
Delores [P.S.]: Yes! Yes, it is. I am the Queen Mother's private secretary. How may I help you, sister?
Tumblr media
Sister Angela: (on the phone) The pope has invited Mother LaKisha to the Vatisim next month and she would love to visit with the Queen Mother during her time in the country.
Delores [P.S.]: The Queen Mother would be honored to host Mother LaKisha next month. The royal family would be happy to take care of any and all accommodations, not done so by the papal organization.
Sister Angela: (on the phone) Thank you, Delores. I will be in touch.
(call ends)
Tumblr media
Delores [P.S.]: Things really are beginning a new for you!
Queen Rowena: Oh?
Delores [P.S.]: The pope has requested an audience with Mother LaKisha, and she has asked to see you while here! There are rumors she is being awarded the Noble Peace Prize for humanitarisimism.
Tumblr media
Queen Rowena: Mother LaKisha founded a sisterhood that runs 19 homes. She was so close with my dear mother. Shortly after my mother died, Mother LaKisha returned to her home country of Marvania, and has become revered for her work with the poor.
Delores [P.S.]: I didn't know you still kept in contact.
Queen Rowena: I haven't seen her since my mother died.
