HH Princess Victoria Ananto-Rosenfeld announces engagement to Kaliburg director Miguel Coronado-Ruz
Princes Victoria is Engaged
Her Highness, Princess Victoria Ananto-Rosenfeld has become engaged, according to House Ananto. Her betrothed is director Miguel Coronado-Ruz, of Kaliburg. Mr. Coronado is currently directing the play "La Muerte del Ron" a comic-mystery farce staring veteran actor Bob Hansen in the title role of "Ron", a guy named Ron who is stuck in a time loop and has to solve his own murder. The show is currently playing at the National Theater in Kaliburg. The Princess is not attached to the production.
"The engagement took place over a weekend in Eveari," said Lady Melanie Ananto-McLinn, Director of House Ananto. "Mr. Coronado was invited by the Princess to meet her family, including her mother, sister and the Emperor and Princess Consort and their family. Mr. Coronado handled the event as well as can be expected, and formally proposed to the Princess over dinner. The proposition was a formality: The two had already decided to marry, and Mr. Coronado had already been vetted by House Ananto for suitability for the Princess." Coronado is 27 and is from a large family of actors on the Kalistani stage and screen. According to Lady Melanie, the pair met while the Princess was working on the crew for a spring one act revue last year, and began privately dating in July.
"A date has not yet been scheduled for the wedding," said Lady Ananto-McLinn. "The two would like to live together for a couple years while the Princess finishes college, and at that point they will decide what they wish to do." The Princess Victoria is the designated successor to the County of Dulnerstaad, and will pick up the title from Lady Christina Ananto-McKinley at some point. She will likely purchase a house there following college, but it is uncertain whether she will live there or split time between Dulnerstaad and Kaliburg.
Emperor and Consort to visit Valruzia
His Imperial Majesty, Emperor William II Ananto and Her Highness the Princess Consort, along with the two minor princelings, are expected to visit Valruzia in May, said the Foreign Ministry. "The Emperor and Empress are expected to stay in Szary Kamien, and are reportedly looking to purchase a vacation home there. They also will make a social visit to the President-Chancellor, Her Excellency President Alexandra Kos, to further strengthen the personal relationship between the two Seleyan heads of state. The trip is expected to take place in mid may and will last about two weeks." The statement was issued by His Imperial Majesty's Foreign Minister Sir Sir Miguel Ontiveros during a daily brief.
Valruzia remains Kalistan's closest active partner on the world stage, and Kalistan watches all developments in the nation with very close interest. "Not only are they one of our major trading partners, but we also work closely on continental security and cultural exchange," said Ontiveros. "Naturally what happens in Valruzia is of interest to us, and we maintain a very close working relationship with the Republic that stretches back to the early days of its post dictatorship period."
The FM said Szary Kamien is a favorite tourist destination for Kalistanis given its position as a port city and its historical connection as the birthplace of the Kalistani music industry. "Each year, if you count up all the tourists from Kalistan who travel to Valruzia, of all the destinations, Szary is visited by more than 65% of them at some point in their trip." The place holds a very close and very nostalgic connection for Kalistanis as they regularly tour the home of the Beat Brothers, the 45th Century Valruzian band which is still highly revered in Kalistani History. Foreign Minister Ontiveros said the Emperor would like to purchase a home there so he and his family have a familiar place to stay when they are in country.
New Naval Exercises in Schismatic Sea
His Imperial Majesty's Defense Minister, Col. Calvin Velasco, said the Navy will be conducting naval drills in the Schismatic Sea this summer. "We are looking into operational readiness for the 3rd Fleet at Bentasur," said Velasco. "His Imperial Majesty has scheduled these drills as part of an overall force readiness exercise that will take place from top to bottom in the Regular Forces over the next three years." The drills are expected to consist of a number of wargames covering various scenarios and contingencies that the 3rd Regular Fleet may encounter. "We are going to cover everything from a rogue nuclear sub entering our waters to life saving on the highseas to humanitarian relief. Every role the Regular Navy would possibly find itself in, that is what we are going to test."
The 3rd Fleet is stationed at Bentasur, the sole remnant of Kalistan's overseas empire of the 57th Century. "Bentasur remains a strategic outpost for the Empire of Ananto and Kalistan," said Velasco. "Through this base, Kalistan maintains watch over the central Anantonese Ocean, and the southern approaches to Kalistani National waters. Numerous installations are located there, including the Southern Logistics command, and an OTH radar site that keeps watch from Garudidos to Mordusia, Rildanor and Indrala. There is also a naval air strip there from which we deploy aerial reconnaissance assets, and of course the naval base and dry dock facility that services our ships."
The Empire acquired direct control over Bentasur when Gaduridos joined the Anantonese Empire. When the relationship collapsed more than 120 years later Kalistan kept Bentasur due to its strategic importance to Kalistani national and regional security. This has been an outstanding issue between Kalistan and Gaduridos since. "But its not one Kalistani is in any hurry to resolve, because it cannot resolve well, I fear. Leaving the status quo alone is the best way to ensure peace, even if it is some what irritating-- its better than the alternative." The drills are expected to last 3 months from July to late September.
