Never Really Royal (Harry and Meghan Fanfiction)

Getting my affairs in order

"It is with great sadness that Her Royal Highness, The Duchess of Windsor, has to announce that on the 12th of October 2020, that she was sexually attacked by a colleague, Mr Steven Cooper. Currently the attack is under investigation by the New York City Police Department, who have assessed that they have enough evidence to charge Mr Cooper. The Duchess of Windsor asks that at this time she is given the time and space to recover from her attack, surrounded by her husband and family. She hopes that in due course she can be given the opportunity to speak about her attack, in order to spread the message that victims should not be silenced about the actions of others." I stopped and looked up at Sam, who was sat on the sofa almost in tears. He got up and walked over to me. He hugged me tight.

"I love you so much." he said before kissing my head. I got up from my desk chair and hugged him back. We stood like that, not moving for a while before we both pulled away and I looked at Sam.

"I need to write this blog post." I said to him. He nodded and kissed me again. He then walked around my desk and left the room, shutting the door behind him. I sat down at my desk and opened up my laptop. I turned on some calming piano music on my speakers and then I began to write to Dad.

Dear Daddy Cool,

I think that if you were here, I would be scared to tell you what happened to me, out of fear that you would never forgive yourself for your actions towards the man that hurt your daughter. I would also fear that you would blame yourself, for not protecting me, because I know you Dad, and I know that although it isn't your fault, you would think it was.

But I want you know that none of this is your fault, none of it, is anyone else's fault other than the man who hurt me, and it has taken me a few days to begin to recover and accept that none of this was my fault either. I may have been there, at that party when my drink was spiked and drinking it and not realising may have been my fault. But I didn't do that to myself, I didn't do anything that made what that man do what he did to me.

So I want you to remember that when you're thinking about how your little girl was so heartlessly raped by a man who didn't care for the consequences. That none of this was anyone's fault but his, and no one can be punished for this crime but him. However, I know that first, I have to face a trial and I have stand in front of so many people and have them listen to every detail about what happened to me. And as much as I don't want to do that. I know that I never want anyone else to feel the pain that I have felt over the last few days.

I have watched for years my little sisters grow up and the last time I spoke to you I told you about my big sister guilt, of not being there for them and missing them when I'm away from home working. And it is over the last few days that I have realised that like you would never want anyone to hurt me, I would do anything to stop someone hurting them. I would stop at nothing to stop a man like that hurting any other woman. And that Dad, is why I have to do this. It's why I have to stand up for everything I have been taught and now believe in and I have to fight with every bone in my body to get the man who hurt me sent to the prison.

So I love you and adore you and I hope that even though you're far away, you can still understand why I'm doing what I'm doing, why I'm standing up for not only myself but so many other people who don't have the voice to say that they have been sexually assaulted or raped.

I love you and miss you.

All my love from,

Daisy Beaumont-Windsor
