The Welsh Heiress (#Wattys2017)

PR scandal is so NOT what I had in mind when I went out on a date last night. And now I'm all over the front page of The Sun again: 'The Welsh Heiress kissing yet another frog'. I am in soo much trouble.

My name is Amelia Jones. Obviously I'm not a princess this would be ridiculous. I am, however, the daughter of the First Minister of Wales, and this means my life in university is closely followed by paparazzi.

This is my story (never mind what Rhys would have you believe *rolls eyes*). It's a bit like Aladdin, only without the magic. And without the Arab desert, albeit we have daffodils and sheep to make up for that, as well as lots of rain. And it's not actually set in a kingdom far away a long time ago - it's pretty much current affairs.
So basically, it's NOTHING like Aladdin. But I'm more sassy than Jasmine anyway, so check me out ;) xxx
