Hearken, O ye people, to the tidings from the House of Windsor, for a scroll of great import hath been unveiled within the halls of Buckingham. In the year of our Lord 2025, King Charles, sovereign of the realm, together with his steadfast sister, Princess Anne, did set their hands upon a decree most grave. Within its script lies the turning of a page in royal destiny, for the name of Queen Camilla is nowhere writ, and in her stead, the fair Princess Catherine, consort of Prince William, is raised unto the forefront of counsel.
Thus is the balance of power shifted, as the King, beset with ailments of the flesh, and the Princess Anne, sworn to duty unwavering, seek to forge a leaner crown, tempered for the age to come. Long hath Camilla stood by her lord in shadow and in light, yet now the mantle of future guidance is laid upon Catherine, whose visage is hailed by the people as both gentle and resolute.
This decree, wrought not in haste but through many moons of counsel in Balmoral and Windsor, doth alter the ancient custom of Counselors of State. Where once the spouse of the monarch was bound by duty to serve, now is the Queen set aside, and the Princess of Wales placed at the very heart of counsel, her wisdom sought in both the affairs of hearth and the matters of realm.
The people murmur across the land, and voices rise in the marketplace and in the taverns: “Hath the Queen been cast aside? Or hath she yielded her burden to walk in peace?” Some declare it prudence, that she may devote her hand to causes of charity and mercy. Yet others whisper of old rivalries, of the Prince William’s stern eye, and of the crown’s desire to seal its legacy with the younger blood of Catherine.
Great favor hath this rising brought unto the Princess of Wales, for in the hearts of the common folk she is already beloved. Polls and parchments declare her worth, and the children of the realm are nurtured by her hand in the cause of Early Years, a campaign now writ into the fabric of governance. Thus is her path laid clear as a beacon toward the throne, with Prince William beside her, and the Princess Anne as guardian of tradition.
But lo, this shift doth raise a shadow upon Camilla’s tale. Once shunned, then embraced as Queen, her journey now stands questioned. Is this her quiet withdrawal, her crown exchanged for peace? Or is it a veiled lessening, a subtle retreat in the scrolls of history? Time alone shall carve her legacy upon the stones of remembrance.
So unfolds the decree of Windsor, a testament that the monarchy, though ancient as oak, bends like willow to the storms of change. And as Catherine steps into the circle of power, the world looketh on, awaiting the next chapter of this living chronicle, where blood, duty, and destiny weave the fate of kings and queens.
