The Diaries of Two American Aristocrat Regency Duchesses on Star Base 12

The Duke and His Two Sons,

StarDate 2285.21.09, Lord Andrew Charles Howard, Duke of Norfolk Territory got his second son, Lord Albert Edward Howard, Duke of Kent Territory today.

Lord Albert Edward Howard resembles his older brother, Lord Anthony Christopher Howard, Duke of Lancaster Territory. He has the same medium sandy blonde hair, brown eyes, and he is just as gorgeous as his older brother.

Lord Andrew Charles couldn't' believe it when Lord David William Beck called out after I have given birth " It's a Son, Lord Andrew Charles Howard."

Lord Andrew Charles rushed into the suite where I laid holding our second son, and he looked at me once again "How did I get this son?"

"I don't know, I guess you are just lucky." I told him.

"I have named him Lord Albert Edward Howard." I told Lord Andrew Charles.

"I think it's a fine name for my Duke of Kent Territory." Lord Andrew Charles tells me, and Lady Elizabeth, age 10 and Lady Samhain, nearly 9 are brought in to see their new brother and Lady Elizabeth asks me " What, I have another brother. mother?"

"I am afraid so, Lady Elizabeth. Your father and I have one more child to go, but your third cousin gave you a little sister." I told her.

"Your second cousin gave you another female cousin, Lady Edwina Wilhelmina Beck, and your first cousin once removed, Lord Richard Edward The Second gave you another cousin, Lady Beatrice Suzanne Howard." I told her.

"Yes mother. My two uncles also gave my two brothers. Two more cousins, Lord Charles Andrew Howard The Fourth and Lord David Frederick Howard." Lady Elizabeth told me.

"Lady Elizabeth. I once told you that every man wants two sons or maybe three, but your father may end up with three daughters and two sons." I told her.

"I told you that your destiny is to become the first Duchess of Norfolk Territory and you will be the one that ushers in the dawn of a new age to Star Base 12 and Norfolk Territory. " I told my oldest daughter.

"Lord Andrew Charles. Our next child isn't due until 2290, and the next one to have a child is Lord Richard William Carey, and he needs a son to secure his great-great-great-great-grandfathers' surname." I told Lord Andrew Charles.

"Lord Patrick William Howard male line will live on with Lord Anthony Christopher, Lord Charles Andrew Howard The Fourth, Lord David Frederick Howard, Lord Albert Edward and Lord Richard Edward Howard The Third. ." I told Lord Andrew Charles.

"I don't see Lord Patrick William Howard legacy ever ending here, but it will with Lord Richard William Carey, but through his matrilineal line it will continue with Lady Caroline Matilda Carey." I told him.

"You got your two sons and we have one more child to go and I have kept my promise that I would give you five children." I told him.

"You have nothing to complain about and maybe with our final child you might get a third son or a third daughter." I told him.

"I am sure your father is delighted with his four handsome grandsons that all three sons have given him." I told Lord Andrew Charles .

"The only ones that have given Lord Patrick William Howard a great-grandson are Lord Frederick William Howard and Lord Thomas William Howard, but Lord David William Beck has given Lord Patrick William Howard his first great-great-great-great-grandson and Lord Richard William Carey has given Lord Patrick William Howard, his first great-great-great-great-granddaughter." I told him.

Lord Anthony Christopher had a little brother, Lord Albert Edward, and he was very happy and Lord Andrew Charles had a portrait of them together, but only two of our children came out with his dark brown hair, brown eyes, Lady Samhain Wilhelmina Charlene Howard, Duchess of Clarence Territory and Lady Sophia Dorothea Howard, Duchess of Gloucester Territory, and Lady Karissa Elizabeth Ann came out looking like her father, Lord Charles Andrew Howard The Third.

Both Lady Caroline Matilda Carey and Lord Benjamin Lawrence Carey came out looking like Lord Richard William Carey, their father,

 but older daughter, our oldest son, and his little brother came out resembling me with blonde hair, blue eyes.

At least two of our children came out looking like their father, Lady Samhain, and Lady Sophia Dorothea.

I don't know how many times Lord Andrew Charles had portraits made of Lady Samhain, Lady Sophia Dorothea and him together but he was proud of his two dark brown hair, brown eyes Duchesses.

It is hard to say if he was ever proud of Lady Elizabeth. She was her grandfather's golden hair heiress, and Lord Anthony Christopher secured the Dukedom of Lancaster Territory and Lord Albert Edward secured the Dukedom of Kent for him.

I do know when a son marries. He leaves his father and mother and cleaves to his wife ,but a daughter is your daughter for the rest of your life.

All together I had five daughters and three sons, Lady Elizabeth Victoria Ann Beltane Howard, 20, Lady Samahin Wilhelmina Charlene Howard, Duchess of Clarence Territory, 19, Lady Caroline Matilda Carey, 14,, and Lady Sophia Dorothea 5, and Lady Karissa Elizabeth Ann , newborn, and Lord Anthony Christopher Howard, Duke of Lancaster Territory, age 15, Lord Albert Edward, Duke of Kent Territory, age 10, and Lord Benjamin Lawrence age 6 years old.

My youngest child and daughter, Lady Karissa Elizabeth Ann was born on her oldest sister's , Lady Elizabeth Victoria Ann Beltane's 20th birthday.

Lady Karissa Elizabeth Ann is Lord Charles Andrew Howard The Third, Duke of Sussex Territory heiress to his Dukedom.

Two of my daughters are Duchesses in waiting, Lady Elizabeth Victoria Elizabeth Ann Beltane and Lady Caroline Matilda Carey.
