To Be King [A Fictional British Royal Family AU]

Henry IX, King of the United Kingdom has reigned for thirty-seven years without problems. His first consort and mother of his children, Queen Mary, died fifteen years ago and since then, the unfortunate monarch isn't thinking of a second marriage. That's until he meets commoner Catherine Winston, the scandalous widow of a wealthy aristocrat. Finding love again, he wants to marry her and crown her as his Queen, but his two eldest sons have other plans... He has to get 'rid' of them.

John, Prince of Wales and Prince James always were bitter rivals. They were always competitive in games, education and girls, but it was evident that only the firstborn would go on to become King. Now, their father wants them to marry and produce heirs to the British throne. It's yet another rivalry for the two young royals, who are racing to find a wife. The King, however, wants to teach them a lesson; that love can be found at all times, in all places, and last for a lifetime.
