Hutori is in mourning. King Richard II, who reigned for 60 years, has passed away at the age of 90. Newport Castle confirmed the news earlier today in a solemn statement, announcing that the King passed peacefully in his sleep at Steuart House, the Royal Family's residence in the Bekenial suburbs. His son, Crown Prince Albert, has immediately ascended to the throne as King Charles III.
The death of King Richard II marks the end of an era for Hutori. Having taken the throne in 5569 after the passing of his grandmother, Queen Victoria II, he oversaw decades of change, guiding the nation through economic transformations, military expansions, and constitutional refinements. His reign was characterized by unwavering dedication to Hutori.
Prime Minister Michael Kensington addressed the nation in a live broadcast, expressing his condolences and declaring a month of national mourning.
"Tonight, we grieve the loss of a sovereign who dedicated his life to service. His Majesty, King Richard II, was a steadfast leader, a guiding hand for Hutori, and a unifying presence for our great nation. His reign was long, but his legacy will last even longer."
T
he King’s state funeral will be held at St. Michael’s Cathedral in Bekenial, expected to be the largest gathering of international dignitaries in recent Hutorian history. Invitations have been extended to the Dorvische Kaiser, the Queen of Dolgava, the Empress of Luthori, the Emperor of Kalistan, the King of Lourenne, and many other world leaders. The funeral procession is expected to be a grand affair, with the Royal Guard, the Hutorian Armed Forces, and various other representatives taking part in the final farewell.
The Royal Family has entered deep mourning, with flags across the country lowered to half-mast. Royal Family members have returned to Hutori from abroad, including Prince James, Duke of Axminister, who was recently appointed Ambassador to Kalistan. King Charles III, Crown Prince Henry and Prince Thomas, all who served in the military, will personally be standing vigil for the late King, as well King Richard II's surviving niece, Princess Beatrice (61) who currently serves as a General in the Royal Hutorian Air Force.
Crown Prince Albert, aged 55, was officially proclaimed as King Charles III by the Privy Council earlier today. The new monarch is expected to address the nation in the coming days. The official Coronation Ceremony will also take place in St. Michael’s Cathedral, though the date has yet to be announced.
King Charles III, who has spent decades preparing for this role, has pledged to carry forward his father’s legacy while leading the monarchy into the future. Having taken on increasing royal duties in recent years, he is widely seen as a stabilizing force within the monarchy.
The House of Commons, normally a place of heated debate. held a special session today, where party leaders from across the political spectrum paid tribute to the late King.

His unwavering commitment to duty and country has been an inspiration to us all. On behalf of the Government of Hutori, I extend my deepest condolences to His Majesty King Charles III and the entire Royal Family.”
Leader of the Official Opposition Robert Calloway (Conservative Party of Hutori):
“For six decades, King Richard II guided this nation through trials and triumphs with wisdom and grace. His unwavering dedication to the people of Hutori was evident in everything he did.

Douglas Warren (Hutorian Republican Party):
“While the Republican Party has long stood for a different vision for Hutori’s future, today is not the day for political debate. Today, we honor the life and service of a man who dedicated himself wholly to his role as King. King Richard II carried out his duties with dignity, and for that, we offer our deepest condolences to the Royal Family and to all who mourn his passing.”
The Hutorian people have begun gathering outside the many residences of the Royal Family across Hutori to lay flowers and light candles in tribute. Public gatherings are expected throughout the nation, with thousands of citizens expected to line the streets of Bekenial for the funeral procession.
