Minor Princess Victoria-Monica Miriam Ananto-Rosenfeld prepares to leave home in June
The last Minor Princess and youngest child of Her Imperial Majesty, Empress Carolina II Ananto and His Majesty, the Prince Consort, Lord Elliot Rosenfeld has successfully completed her secondary Education at Kaliburg-Wilson High School and is preparing to enter National Service for the June Muster. "I'd just like to get going," said Her Highness, Minor Princess Victoria-Monica Miriam Ananto-Rosenfeld, when visiting with La Moda at Cliff House earlier this week. "With both my brother in the military and my sister already in National Service, I kind of feel left out. I'm ready to go in, and there's really no reason that I should wait until my 18th Birthday to start."
Enlistment of 17 year olds into the NSP is permitted with parents' permission, and once secondary education is completed. "We let those youngsters with late birthdays, like Vicki, enlist when they are ready," said the Empress. "This way they do not have to wait until three or four months have passed and their peers have already gone through basic and are at their schools or already in the Service somewhere. Instead, they can go in with their friends and stand a chance of serving with their friends and other peers. And besides, it is important that she realize that she is now in every way an adult and gets to make her own choices, and she will know that her parents will support her as long as she is being safe and is convinced."
The Minor Princess says she hopes she will be assigned to something that requires her to be creative. "Last summer, I got to work in the theater, and that was a lot of fun," the Minor Princess said. "I got to do set design for the National Theater: it was mostly labor, like building, but we also painted the sets and that was really my favorite part. The set designer gave like four of us on the crew some general directions and told us to bring our imaginations to life. And the papers even praised the sets for that play. I was very proud of the work I did and would like to do more creative work like this."
The Empress said she and the Prince Consort are looking forward to having an empty nest. "We are looking forward to spending some time alone with our husband," she said with a laugh. "We have had so few moments by ourselves since the kids were born. We raised our kids together, and were with them for everything, but we also had a life before we had kids and had interests and hobbies that we would very much like to get back to... Some of those hobbies actually caused the kids, now that we remember, but that won't be a problem going forward. At any rate, it will be a change in our lifestyle for sure when our last little one moves out."
As the last Minor Princess joins the National Service, the Crown Prince has a year left on his military enlistment. "At that point, the Crown Prince I believe desires to go to college," said The Empress. "And he will need to also start looking for a wife. If he doesn't make a love match soon, House Ananto will go into overdrive to get him married before he is crowned. And we may assume he will prefer to find himself a partner on his own."
"Luckily, my sister and I are not under that kind of pressure," said the Minor Princess. "We aren't really under any kind of time crunch but you know, mom wants to retire someday, so Willy better get on the ball when he gets out." Asked if she will miss living at home, Her Highness answered, "Well, Cliff House is beautiful and seeing the Wilson Bridge every morning and evening is just stunning. I love to come out here on the top deck, where my mom grows the poppies and watch the setting sun shine its light across the bridge: A true miracle of engineering that has stood for a very long time. I'll miss it, sure. But National Service is an adventure of its own. And I am really looking forward to joining."
The Minor Princess will muster in to the Ananto Corps on June 1st, but will not turn 18 until September.
