Victoria woke up with a tingling sensation running through her body. The tingling that concentrated in her belly made her want to cry. It was the day her aunt and uncle were releasing their documentary on Netflix and she knew it wasn't going to be good. She took a couple of deep breaths as she looked at herself in the mirror repeating that everything was going to be fine.

As she walked into the classroom where she had her first History lesson she could tell everyone was staring at her and whispering amongst themselves. She ducked her head with the urge to cry and sat down at her desk next to Andrew and Maya.

—Don't listen to them— said the boy, causing the princess to nod before pulling out her books and concentrating solely on school.

William and Catherine had expressly forbidden their daughter to watch the documentary. She was not allowed to see any news about her family, although they knew that she would get it anyway, even though they would do everything they could to avoid it.

In the dining room most people were glued to their screens as they watched Harry and Megan tell some of their family secrets, making the princess wish she was swallowed up by the earth. After class she went to her room and turned on her gold pink MacBook to go to her Netflix account. She searched for: Harry and Meghan, but there were no results, her parents had blocked it.

—Vic— Maya said as she saw her best friend with her hands covering her face as she cried.

—I need to see it— she said as she wiped her tears —If your parents don't want you to see it, there must be a reason— said the Australian trying to make her see reason. She didn't think it was a good idea as she didn't know how the words of her uncle, whom she appreciated very much, could affect her.

—Please— Victoria begged, making her roommate agree, but on one condition: -If you see it's too painful, we'll turn it off and never see it again.

Every minute she watched, the worse she felt. The knot in her stomach was getting tighter and the pain in her head was getting worse. But that took a back seat to the pain in her heart, she felt how her uncle had betrayed her. He had betrayed them. He was her favourite uncle and suddenly she had to watch him walk away. She longed to see him every week for a walk in the gardens or a game of hide and seek.

They went from having the best relationship to only talking to each other by short text messages or the occasional monthly call just to see how things were going. Seeing her cousins she couldn't help the tears that streamed down her face, she hadn't even had a chance to meet her little cousin Lilibeth. Maya comforted her until she fell asleep, not sure how she could help her.

The next day was a real medieval torture for Victoria, everyone was talking about Harry and Meghan, making the princess just want to go home. During the lunch break she locked herself in the bathroom to call her mother.

—Vic— Catherine asked in surprise, her firstborn rarely called her, especially not during school hours.

—Please come and fetch me— she pleaded, sobbing, causing the duchess to rise quickly from her desk to fetch her daughter. She told her assistant to cancel her engagements for the day. She sensed why her daughter was like this and sadness invaded her body.

Arriving at the boarding school, she walked through the corridors, earning stares from people, but she couldn't care less, she just wanted to find her little girl. He looked around unsuccessfully. Andrew saw the Princess of Wales making his hands start to shake. He thought she was looking for his first born so he plucked up his courage and headed towards her.
