PRINCESS OF WALES ||THE BRITISH ROYAL FAMILY

CHAPTER 010

September 2008

Charles couldn't believe. His little Betty was not so little anymore, she was now a 19 year old woman about to start university. There had been ups and downs in the years following the tragic death of Diana and his remarriage to Camilla. But Betty had been supportive wanting her father to be happy.

Betty was going to the same university William had gone to and Charles wanted to be the one to take her. Betty was excited and sat down in the car and spoke non stop about the university. Charles just sat there admiring her. His little girl was now independent and probably wouldn't need him anymore.

She had the perfect mixture of brown hair and bright curious blue eyes. She was a beauty sure to break many hearts. She was his light in the dark and he loved his daughter with all his heart. He wanted her to be happy.

Charles took her hand, and said, "Betty you are now all grown up and I will miss the little girl you were before." He tried to control the tears that threatened to fall down his face.

"I hope you have fun here."

"I will pa. Hopefully there have horses here," Betty chuckled and Charles had a gentle smile plastered on his face. She was going to be alright. She even had her best friend from St .George's School come with her. 

Katherine Wellesley her best friend from St George's School has decided to follow her best friend to the same school. Betty smiled at herself at the thought that she wouldn't have to face this new environment by herself as she was going to have Kathy by her side.

Stepping out of the car, Betty took her deep breath. St Andrews was going to be her new home for the time she was going to spend there. She already missed William and especially Harry who had been her rock and companion as they had both struggled with the loss of their mother at young ages.

Betty followed after her father into the school and were met with the headteacher of the school. Following her father's lead, she also politely shook his hand. Cameras left and right fought to take pictures of the princess.

Charles led his daughter with the headmaster to his office away from the praying eyes of the press.

"My girl have fun and I will you see at Christmas," Charles hugged his daughter and left to the car.

Walk down the corridor, Betty felt nerves trickle up her spine. She was nervous and didn't have Beatrice with her. She finally got to her Andrew Melville Hall where she would be staying for 3 years.

"Betty, you're here," Kathy ran into Betty's arm, excited to see her best friend arriving. Kathy had changed over the 8 years. She no longer wore glasses or braces. She looked stunning.

"Kathy I can't believe it we are finally here," they squealed in excitement.

"Kathy aren't you going to introduce us to you friend," a girl with blonde got up from her bed and walked towards them.

"Oh yes I'm sorry nearly forgot, Betty this is Fiona Jones. Fifi this is Betty," Fiona couldn't believe it when she heard that the Princess of Wales was coming but now she stood in front of her in the flesh.
