The Royal Family Has Released The First Paintings Commissioned By The King That The New Offical Court
The Royal family has released the first paintings commissioned by the King that the new offical court painter Sir Thomas Lawrence has finished. The painter has been given the title of Principal Painter in Ordinary, and will be exclusively painting the royal family both at court and when the family visit other courts. Sir Thomas has been given a rather generous fixed salary, and will surely be living the life of a noblemen with his knew role.
The paintings released today are meant to show the members of the court pictured doing activities they enjoy. It is suspected that the Kings Royal Advisor Duke Jacob Gilbert of Oxfordshire may have chosen this subject so that the kingdom can get to know the royal family better.
The first painting features her Royal Highness Queen Margaret De Lune of Windenburg standing in her garden. The Queen is known for her green thumb and it is said one of the favourite places of courtiers is her rose garden. As it’s one of the most beautiful parts of the palace.
The second painting features His Royal Highness King Avery De Lune of Windenburg, standing in the royal library. The library has one of the largest collections of books on all topics in the country and the King spends a great deal of time in the library, versing himself on as many subjects as possible. This could be the reason for the Kings infamous wit.
The third painting features Her Royal Highness Princess Avis De Lune of Windenburg, practicing music on her piano, which was a gift to the Princess from the French Queen. Princess Avis has been learning to play the piano since the young age of three, and it is apparently the activity she most enjoys learning from her tutors.
The final painting is of his Royal Highness Crown Prince William De Lune of Windenburg, standing in front of his horse, the aptly named ‘lightning’.The horse was a gift from his father and the Prince is known to spend hours almost daily hunting with the prized steed. The Prince will no doubt have to begin to spend less time galavanting into the forest, and more time learning to be King now that he is 16. His age also brings the promise of a possible betrothal soon, the court is rife with gossip on which young lady the prince may be matched with. Surely it will be a Princess from a country the King hopes to align with?
All the royals are pictured in the royal red of the De Lune house.

Doctor, can anything else be done?
Alas, the boy has stopped breathing, the bleeding has been unsuccessful.
Cardinal Basset, Please perform last rights, I will inform the King and Queen.
In nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritus Sancti. Amen...
Doctor please, how is Thomas?
Your Majesty...I-I-I'm sorry, he's gone
No, no, no ,no , no, no, no
It's alright darling, just breathe, breathe
He can't be gone [sniffles] my little boy!
This is your fault! I told you, I told you the children should go and stay with William and Arielle at Chenonceau away from this plague! But you insisted we stay close to the city to 'project an image of strength'! Is your power so important you hold it above your family?-
Above your children!? How could you?
Margaret, get a hold of yourself! Do you really think I would knowingly put my son at risk!? One of my heirs?-
[Sighs] Now, take a deep breath and calm down. It's all going to be okay
[Whispers] I'm sorry, I'm sorry [crying quietly]
We will have another son Maggie, I can feel it.
The Kings Public Letter
To My People,
With the sweat spreading across our fair country and further out to the North, this is a trying time for all of us. As we all brave this new threat I am humbled by the tales I have heard of people coming together and helping those in need. This I feel truly represents who we are as a united and strong kingdom. It is stories like this that make me confident we will beat this illness as we have overcome all our past struggles.
My physicians have advised all of us to stay away from those infected with the sweat and to burn all bedding from those infected. St Bartholomew’s, St Mary's and St John's are accepting patients who don't have access to a personal physician. I am sending my prayers to all of you.
Let us hold onto the light within us all and shine it bright on this darkness.
Yours Faithfully,
King Avery De Lune Of Windenburg
honestly still sad they shut it down
all you 90′s babies, don’t act like you don’t know.

Offical Royal Visit to France
The Windenburg Royal Family has made an official state visit to the Kingdom of France. A visit that has sent courtiers chins wagging, rumours circulating that the visits main intent is to secure an engagement promise with Crown Prince William and one of King Louis Navarre of Brindleton Bay’s daughters. HRH Princess Arielle Navarre or her sister HRH Princess Isabelle Navarre. The match would not only secure a marital alliance but likely will be followed by a treaty uniting England and France.
The notion of a treaty is supported by the fact that both Kings wore simple crowns that had no attachment to either’s lands. HRH King Avery is usually seen wearing the Crown Of Eyes, which belonged to his Grandfather, who's vast Kingdom occupied parts of England, France, Germany and Spain. It’s believed the King didn't wear this crown as a sign of respect to King Louis.
Depicted in the paintings of the royal families Principal Painter in Ordinary, Sir Thomas Lawrence, you can see the arrival of the whole of the royal family, King Avery De Lune, Queen Margaret De Lune, Crown Prince William, Princess Avis, Princess Sophia, Prince Thomas and Prince Kingston. This is the first most of the public is seeing of the Kings younger children, Princess Sophia, Prince Thomas and Prince Kingston. The court has been eager to see the children after rumours Princess Sophia and Prince Thomas were sickly and that’s why they haven't been seen at court events.
Shown in the paintings is the moment both royal families bowed to each other as a sign of friendship and respect.
The last paintings are offical portraits that were presented to Crown Prince William and King Avery for approval before the state visit. This is largely considered standard practice when royals are deciding on potential brides.
Royal’s Visit To Luisante National Park
The royal visit to France continues with the royals visiting Luisante National Park. During their stay in France the Royal family is staying at the guests apartments in Versailles. King Louis has just finished extensive renovations to the palace and it’s rumoured the guest apartments are awash with gold, from the gold flecked walls to the solid gold beds and decor. The French royal families own apartments are substantially less grand, the King clearly wants to display his Kingdoms vast wealth to guests.
Perhaps this is part of the reason King Avery is happy for his son to marry into the family.
The day at the park was spent with the Kings discussing the proposed ‘Treaty Of the Deux’ which will be signed upon Crown Prince Williams marriage to one of King Louis daughters. So far not much is known about the treaty though there will likely be an aspect that will untie the two countries military forces. Should any country seek to attack either France or England they will have the mighty forces of both countries to contend with.
Queen Margaret and Queen Josephine were seen deep in discussion on a stroll in the beautiful park while the sun was setting. Though we don't know what the Queens were discussing exactly, Queen Margaret is widely known in England as one of the largest patrons of artwork in the country so it can be assumed she was curious about Frances own efforts in the preserving of artwork.
