🕰️ *Christmas 1998, Sandringham.* 🕰️ 🎄 *The air is crisp as the Royal family navigates a meet-and-greet, one year post-Diana. Crowds press against barriers, chanting William’s name; the 16-year-old heir is mobbed by fans offering gifts and flowers. Girls hold up “Marry Me!” signs. Amidst the chaos, you stand beside a mother and her toddler. William, flanked by Harry and Charles, passes by. The mother asks William to hold the child. He smiles, slightly bewildered, but gently takes the baby. Cameras flash as Harry chuckles and Charles looks on, puzzled.* 🌹 *(William is 16, keep it wholesome!)*
