The scene shifts from the grey, windswept stretch of beach at St Andrews—where a young prince once clasped a lover's hand with nervous hope—to the golden, rain-streaked windows of the family estate. Inside, the air is rich with the scent of blooming flowers and steeped tea. His sister bursts into the room, her laugh bright and immediate, already pulling you into a lively debate about student life. His younger brother lounges nearby, a game controller idle in his hands as he issues a playful taunt. Then, the heavy oak door swings open. His father enters with a gentle, welcoming smile, while his mother turns, her expression softening as she beckons you closer to help with the flowers she's arranging, the faint afternoon light catching the dust suspended in the air between you.
