"The Way We Were,"

By the time they touched down in Illyria, the Prince's thoughtless words had already played telephone through the men's social circle, reaching the ear of Herr Fredrik Schuller, LordKanzler to the Queen.

Act Three, Scene Twenty-Two: "Telephone." Last / Beginning / Next Transcript below the cut! This scene features sims from @empiredesimparte and @the-lancasters !!

[Fredrik] I’m very sorry, Ma’am.

[Eloise] It’s not your fault, Herr Schuller.

[Eloise] Thank you.

[Charles] Say Cheese!

[Eloise] …Cheese.

-

[Philippe] You seemed distant tonight.

[Eloise] I’m sorry. 

[Philippe] Didn’t have anything to do with what Fredrik said to you? 

[Eloise] …No? No. 

[Philippe] Right. Do you want me to wait up?

[Eloise] I still have to shave and do a mask. 

[Philippe] Okay, then… Goodnight. 

[Philippe] I love you.

Sunderland's Royal Jewel Vault (21/∞) ♛

↬ Queen Irene's Illyrian Emerald Parure Tiara

Sometimes, Queen Irene fancies herself a jewel maker. Despite the vast majority of the royal tiaras being inherited from queens long past, three tiaras were commissioned by Irene herself. The oldest being a jaw-dropping emerald tiara, the centrepiece of a magnificent parure. In 1971, Queen Irene was presented with an emerald necklace and a pair of matching earrings, a gift from the Illyrian Royal Family on the occasion of her accession as queen consort. King Edward II of Illyria was a charming ruler, and his family's jewel box was stuffed full of spectacular emerald jewels, reflecting his country's wealth and abundance. The large oval-shaped emeralds caught the Queen's eye, and she decided to expand the demi-parure over the next few years. In 1977, Irene commissioned Garrard to create a tiara to match the parure. The tiara and parure continued to be re-designed and evolved, with more Illyrian emeralds being added to the collection. By 1991, the finished tiara stood at a hefty 9 centimetres tall and was accompanied by a necklace, a pair of earrings, two matching bracelets, and a brooch. Irene since the parure's completion, Irene has worn it somewhat consistently, stating that the tiara makes her feel "as pretty as a peacock" although it often makes her the tallest lady in the room—even taller than her husband. Despite her age, Irene still manages to pull off this tiara with mastery despite having smaller and more comfortable opinions at her disposal. The Illyrian emerald tiara is truly fit for a queen.

Thank you @the-lancasters for gifting Irene such lovely emeralds 💚

Hello 👋

I'm sorry to say but my story is going on hiatus! I mean I haven't been the most regular poster recently anyway but I though I would give a bit of an update.

My job has been a bit crazy intense and will be that way for the next little while I think. Real-life responsibilities come before fun sims story (sadly). Having Elise and Jacques show up is not where I would have wanted to put a pause but its just where its fallen.

I promise I will be back and I thank you for your patience! I have plans galore for when I return for the second half of chapter three so I look forward to sharing them!

🌻🌹🌸🌷🌼🌻

#life is too much rn tbh #living day to day 🤸‍♀️🏄‍♀️ #Not all bad though! Some really really good stuff in there #Ill still be lurking too - me time is important lol

[the-lancasters]

What about a Charles and Vivi baby? I can't believe neither of us has ever done this before, but now I'm curious 😂

Trouble with a capital T 😁😁

#askthelancasters #I can't believe it either! #She looks like she would definitely be talking about you behind your back haha

[the-lancasters]

DARE: If Charles and Laurel had a baby, what would it looks like?

👀

I think i love it? 😄

#askthelancasters #This would happen if laurel got her way LOL #thank you for the dare! #opened my game for the first time in ages #just to do this

[the-lancasters]

Would you rather: start your current project from scratch or do a soft reboot focusing on a different character?

I would pick soft reboot! I would love to do a story told fully from the perspective of the staff. The west wing is one of my favourite tv shows so it would be like that - the real story behind a famous institution etc.

I really enjoyed the chapter on Sarah and Marcus and what started as a look behind the scenes, evolved into one about their relationship. So I think it would be cool to flesh that out with a cast of characters of different areas of the household - kitchen, front of house, administrative, leadership, military etc.

#askthelancasters #I could go on and on about this lol #If im not careful I will end up doing it!

AN: Welcome Elise and Jacques 😂 I found this conversation between Elise and George so hard so a big thank you @armoricaroyalty for both lending me his lovely (and less lovely) sims but also helping me work through it and figure out how these two parents and senior royals approach this situation (aka writing big chunks of this!)

The chickens are coming home to roost for Vivi 😬🐣🐤

Maid: Miss Vivi you um, have a guest

Vivi: Sure, send them in

Jacques – Hello darling

Vivi – Jacques?

--

George - I’m sorry to say that this happened right under my nose. But it cannot be allowed to continue.

Elise - Of course not, Vivi will be returning home now. I want to personally thank you for letting me know about these developments. We knew she was here but her absence is starting to draw attention that we just cannot afford right now.

George - You’re welcome Elise. As a parent, I would want to know what was happening to a member of my family.

Elise- Can I ask how you found out? If this is going to get into the media-

George- It was simply a concerned party and I have every confidence they will be discreet - I will make sure it's in their best interest to be

Elise - I confess I am disappointed in Vivi - but she is young and often impressionable. I believe Charles took advantage of that naivety. A lot of young women wouldn’t be able to resist a handsome foreign man

George - My son has his weaknesses but he should have known better

Elise - How is Victoria coping?

George - She has no idea and I would like to keep it that way. There is no reason for her to know now that it is over.

Elise - You really think she hasn’t noticed anything amiss?

George - Trust me, I have a good handle on what is happening in my own family. And besides, why would she? She has plenty of things to keep her busy - including the upcoming baby.

•Elise narrows her eyes but doesn't comment*

Katherine: Your Royal Highness?

Margaret - Come in Katherine.

Katherine – The briefing has come through for next week's service of remembrance - you will be seated next to Robert at the end of the front row. Transport has now been confirmed as an SUV with police escort.

Margaret - Are you going in advance or riding with me?

Katherine - I’ll be with you this time - Sarah said she will cover the advance as she will be there anyway. No point in another person going ahead.

Margaret - Perfect.

Was there something else?

Katherine - It's just…..

Margaret - Spit it out Katherine, I'm supposed to be getting ready for the Beauman show this afternoon. Vivi and I are the guests of honour.

Katherine - Well that's what I wanted to talk about. You both are making quite a splash in the media right now

Margaret -  I saw we were on the front page of the Illyrian Post this morning - Its a good shot.

Katherine - Yes, it's been very positive here. But in Armorica? For at least two weeks questions have been swirling about her whereabouts and i’ve seen many comments that are angry that she has deserted her family when things got tough. For some reason the royal family hadn’t publicised that Vivi was on holiday. The press was pretty surprised when she popped up here.

Margaret - Why is the media strategy of the St.Fleurs relevant to me?

Katherine - The coverage you both are getting at Fashion week might draw the wrong sort of attention to Vivi and cause some backlash for her. Are you sure she should be seen at these kinds of frivolous events given the circumstances back home?

Margaret - We are just having fun! It's totally harmless and for a good cause, why would anyone have an issue with that?
