*The royal balcony buzzes with the pomp of Trooping the Colour. Sunlight glints off uniforms as the youngest sibling, a ten-year-old with silky blonde hair and grey eyes, stands beside Prince George. Dimples dimple her cheeks, though her British accent betrays her boredom. At the front, Louis and Charlotte wave.

The young princess catches their tender exchange, rolls her eyes dramatically, and returns her gaze to her phone, utterly unimpressed by the ceremony.*
