Chapter 11: PRINCE ARTHUR AND LADY AMELIA PLAY HOUSE AT ST. JAMES’S 20 MARCH Year 21 of the Reign of King Henry XII. It’s four a.m. Can’t sleep. At ten, we leave for London. To finalize the prenuptial agreement, to present me to the King and Queen as the future princess, for the official announcement, and for the rest of my fairytale life. Charlie’s meeting us at St. James’s Palace. Where I’ll be staying for the next week. With Arthur, because it’s his royal residence in London. I told Charlie not to tell anyone, not even Mum and Dad, that he was coming. I couldn’t tell him why, but I’m sure he knew. * * *
