Princess Consort, with Princess Jennifer Ananto-Rosenfeld, speaks to reporters at House Ananto Foundation's Summer Gala for the Arts
Her Highness, the Princess Consort Casey Leigh-Campbell has announced that she is expecting a child. "We are expecting our first child in early December," said the Princess Consort, speaking to reporters at the annual House Ananto Foundation's fundraiser to support the National Theater and the Imperial Opera. She was speaking about how important it was to support the arts in the nation, and that people who have money need to drop as much money as possible when she let the news slip, "Arts are important. I know I am going to want the child we are expecting to be involved in the arts when they finally get to school..." The comments caused the reporter to interrupt the interview and ask "Are you expecting a child?" The Princess Consort laughed and said "Yeah... but I guess we didn't tell anyone yet..."
As this news broke during the live interview, Her Highness, Princess Jennifer Ananto-Rosenfeld happened to be walking by and the reporter asked her to hold a moment, and then asked if House Ananto was aware that the Princess Consort was expecting a child. Clearly she was not. With a beaming smile, and an off-the-cuff comment about the Princess Consort needing to be signed up for media training, the young Princess and apprentice of current director Princess Melanie Ananto-McLinn requested that the interview be temporarily paused, while she spoke with her sister in law in private. Five minutes later the two young women found the reporter and requested that the interview be resumed.
"Well, it is official then," said the Princess Consort. "We've informed Lady Melanie in Luxon and she gave the greenlight to make the announcement." Princess Jennifer stayed on hand to answer questions on behalf of House Ananto. "This event here is supposed to be about funding the arts. House Ananto is a major patron of both the National Theater and the Imperial Opera, and in our capacity we utilize House Ananto's good reputation to help other rich people in this country to patronize those two important institutions as well. But this news is kinda more important. We can raise money any day, but learning that the dynasty will continue is definitely worth talking about too. And more importantly, I am going to become an Aunt!" Both women were all smiles.
When asked why the announcement had not been publicized earlier, the Princess Consort said "We just got it confirmed by my doctor last week, but we wanted to kind of keep it a secret until we were totally sure that everything is going ok. I am a bit superstitious and didn't want to jinx anything. But it is all Willy and I have talked about since we got the news, so it was on my mind, I suppose."
Princess Jennifer added, "My mom and I kind of had an idea... I noticed she has been drinking a lot more water these days. And she hasn't even been down surfing yet this year. I think she kinda had to know already."
The two women eventually completed the interview about the arts funding from the Foundation. "Yes, we will raise more than 15 Million Imperial Pesos for the two institutions," said Princess Jennifer, who organized this year's Arts Fundraiser as part of her increasing duties at House Ananto. "We get our money mostly from the House Fund itself, but we also ask for donations from captains of Industry, major investors and private citizens, all of whom have benefitted from this Empire and are now expected to give back to the things that make this nation great. House Ananto has such a reputation in our Nation that if we ask the rich to open their pocketbooks, they do so widely and generously, because they know that we always more than match any donations they will make."
Following the end of the interview, the two Ladies disappeared for a little while, and then re-emerged to begin circulating at the event amongst people who themselves were learning the news and wanted to congratulate the Princess Consort.
