Fort William and Northminster - The Office of the Imperial House announced that Princess Alexandra, third child of Empress Audrey and Prince Richard will become the Grand Duchess of Northriding. Her Imperial Highness was already residing in Northriding on a permanent basis ever since the end of her studies in Lourenne and completing engagements on behalf of the Northriding Government, becoming the Grand Duchess in all but name. Today, after a request from the Northriding Minister-President, Her Majesty the Empress officialized the fact that the Princess would become Grand Duchess of this Duchy, signing into Act a Letter Patent officializing this change. This isn’t surprising in any way possible as, as stated earlier, the Princess was already living most of her time in Northriding and Fort William, traveling back and forth between her private estate gifted by her mother after her 25th birthday at Lymouth and her official residence of the Palace of Hastings in Fort William. The Grand Duchess will now be awarded with the property of the Richmound Complex at Northminster, the usual working and official residence of Grand Dukes and Grand Duchesses of Northriding.
Princess Alexandra is being appointed as Grand Duchess at a moment where the popularity of the Monarchy has reached an all-time high, with near unanimous support for the institution of the Monarchy and the stability that it brings to the Nation. All members of the Imperial Family and their spouses have at least 80+ percent in popularity polls, with Empress Audrey and Prince Richard being, unquestionnably and unsurprisingly, the most popular members of the Imperial Family.
This appointment of Princess Alexandra as Grand Duchess of Northriding comes at the understanding that most royal offspring would serve as Prince/Grand Dukes of all Luthorian local governments. Princess Katherine, the heir to the Throne was inaugurated by the Empress as Princess of Orange, solidifying her place in the line of succession as the heir apparent instead of the heir presumptive. Her Imperial Highness is expected to fill in her new role perfectly, as she has already been the de facto representative of the Crown in Northriding, and who knows, maybe, this title may become hereditary in the future.
The Office of the Government of Northriding issued a statement praising the appointment and calling the Princess “a gem among the people of Northriding”.
