Her Highness Crown Princess Carolina Ananto-Hulanevek at dinner with Mr. WR Sandoval

Her Highness, the Crown Princess Carolina Ananto-Hulanevek has become engaged to be married.  Crown Princess Carolina has been dating Mr. William Ricardo Sandoval, 32, from Dahriel who is the youngest head of the Ananto Growers' Syndicate ever selected.  Mr. Sandoval is an agronomist, who is the son of Gaduri immigrants. Mr. Sandoval was elected by the Marijuana growers section of the Growers' Syndicate to the Syndicate Central Committee at the age of 25.  Under his tenure, marijuana growers in the Gold Plain and in Luxon County won important profit sharing agreements from ODEN. As a result of his negotiation efforts on behalf of Syndicate members, and his relentless drive to increase membership in the Ananto Growers' Syndicate, he was elected as Director of the Ananto Growers' Syndicate in general elections late last year.

"Mr. Sandoval completed National Service and then opted to go to work on his parent's farm," said Crown Watcher Antonio Boudreau.  "The Crown Princess met Mr. Sandoval at the 5575 Smokeout held in Dahriel and they hit it off.  Her Imperial Majesty's office asked the press to keep the budding romance off the society pages, to protect the couple's privacy, but now that the engagement is public, there are Crown Princess and William Sandoval sightings all over Kaliburg.  It is very exciting to know that a royal wedding is in the offing."

Mr. Sandoval is said to enjoy cinema, outdoor activities like hiking and climbing, and of course the science of agronomy.  "A Civil Engineer and an agronomist together," said Boudreau.  "These two are certainly compatible intellectually.  They have a lot of interests in common.  They are both music fans:  They met at the ODEN Smokeout a couple years ago and hit it off immediately.  Mr. Sandoval was introduced by a mutual friend, and the two apparently spent the entire evening together.  Both have a good sense of humor and they're both obviously good looking.  Mr. Sandoval is a good match for the Princess."  Sandoval is also a known Nationalist and was heard to speak in support of Gaduri Accession to the Empire.  "He will obviously do all he can to support the future Empress' policies especially when they focus on national growth and national interest."

The marriage date is set for November 15 of this year, and will be held in Eveari at the Eveari Meeting House.  Meanwhile, expect to see more of Mr. Sandoval in the Press.
