New Photo of the Royal Family

(Year 235, Summer) The Royal Palace Office has shared a new family photo, showing His Majesty and the Queen with all their four children. This time there's no gown and tiara involved, but it's been a while since we saw a group photo featuring them all.

Left to right: Prince Marcuz (20), Prince Cecil (20), Queen Venezia (59), King
Tarriot (67), Crown Princess Emireza (24), and Prince Bazillimus (22).

The photo was taken in the lovely King's Tea Salon, the room where the royal family gathers on Constitution Day, connected to the palace's main balcoony where they pop out to wave to the cheering crowds. This time it was an internal gathering where the birthdays of all three princes were celebrated. There's no information on the full giest list, only that it was a moderate and informal party with only the close family and maybe a couple friends, too, eating and mingling.

All three princes have their birthday in Spring. This year they chose a shared party, probably because all three are in boarding schools and had to travel all the way from Windenburg and StrangerVille. HRH Prince Bazil turned 22, while the twins, HRH Prince Cecil and HRH Prince Marcuz turned 20. All four children are still teenagers. There are certainly busy days ahead when they all grow up over just a few years. Lots of changes to come to the royal family in the near future when the new generation steps out! Their education has of course been decided long ago, and the search for spouces probably started years ago, too.

HRH Crown Princess Emireza was wearing a tulip printed dress with her favorite earrings, the Opal Gold Leaf earrings, a gift from her parents on her 15th birthday. She is currently the only of the four residing at the royal palace. Next year she will move to Britechester to start her degree studies. HRH Prince Bazil will stay at the private Summerfield High School for two more years, and will then work on his university degree, too. Both Emireza and Bazil will focus on History, which is tradition for the future monarch. Bazil is currently 2nd in the line of successors to the Crown.

The twins, HRH Prince Cecil and HRH Prince Marcuz will pick their higher education more freely. Cecil, who surprisingly did take up Cross stitching as a hobby, will go for Art History. He seems to be the most creative of the bunch. Marcuz has proven to be quite the athlete, like his father the King, and has chosen Biology. The latter might means that he won't get the distinguished degree, though, because the royal children will traditionally study at University of Britechester. They reside in a private dorm where students take only 3 years to get their full degree. This is a few years ahead though, and plans can of course change. Both the twins are currently in private high schools.

All of the four royal teens are currently single, at least there is no official information on serious dating.
