Rise To The Crown- The Story of the Third-In-Line

*Fifty-Nine (2014.04)

It was April 2014, and Delly found herself amidst the whirlwind of another royal journey, this time to Australia. Her parents, William and Kate, had now expanded their family to include little George, the newest addition to the royal lineage. The dynamics had shifted with the presence of an infant; diaper changes and hasty schedules now became part of the routine on the royal plane.

The royal plane was a hive of activity as it soared through the skies, carrying the young family to their next destination in Australia. Delly, now a seasoned traveler, observed the controlled chaos that came with caring for an infant during a long journey.

In a corner of the plane, George, the adorable bundle of joy, decided it was the perfect time for a surprise. A whiff of something unpleasant alerted everyone to the fact that a royal diaper change was urgently needed. William and Kate, experienced parents though they were, exchanged knowing glances as they swiftly mobilized their resources.

However, in the midst of the well-choreographed routine, a minor glitch surfaced. The realization dawned that a crucial item had been left behind—perhaps a pacifier or a spare onesie. It was a moment of collective parental realization, a small hiccup in the otherwise meticulously planned royal journey.

Despite the unforeseen mishap, the atmosphere remained light-hearted. Laughter filled the air as the royal couple, assisted by their entourage, creatively improvised with the available resources. Delly, observing the scene, couldn't help but smile at the comical side of royal parenting.

As George giggled and cooed, blissfully unaware of the minor chaos he had caused, the camaraderie among the family and the royal staff painted a heartwarming picture. It was a scene that highlighted the genuine, human side of royalty—the shared laughter, the occasional oversight, and the ability to handle the unexpected with grace.

As she witnessed her parents navigate the challenges of managing a baby during a royal tour, Delly's mind wandered back to the last royal visit to Canada. It was a different time, a time before George, and the memories played in her mind like a nostalgic film.

She remembered the cheers of the crowd, the excitement in the air as they traveled through Canadian cities, and the joy of being part of such grand occasions. There was a simplicity to those days, a time when her world consisted of just her parents. Now, with George in the picture, the dynamics had changed. The royal responsibilities had grown, and so had the love within the family.

Descending from the royal plane onto the Australian tarmac, the atmosphere was charged with anticipation and excitement. Delly, with her parents William and Kate, descended the steps into the warm Australian air. The royal entourage was greeted by a welcoming committee, including the Prime Minister of Australia, who stood ready to extend official greetings.

Delly, a bit shy but no stranger to such formalities, clutched the hand of her mother as they approached the dignitaries. Kate, carrying little George in her arms, effortlessly combined regality with motherly warmth. Delly watched as her mother gracefully shook hands with the Prime Minister, exchanging pleasantries and diplomatic smiles.

Despite the formalities, there was an air of genuine warmth. George, in his mother's arms, added an endearing touch to the scene. Delly, though initially reserved, followed her parents' example and extended a small hand for a handshake, meeting the eyes of the dignitaries with a shy yet charming smile.

The royal visit to Australia included a delightful excursion to see koalas, and it was a scene filled with adorable moments. The family strolled through the lush eucalyptus groves, where the cuddly creatures were perched in the branches.
