Palace Confirms that Princess Alexandra Will Study in Lourenne.

March 5560

Fort William - Orange Palace’s Press Secretary, Alexander Hilton confirmed rumors propagated by the Royals tabloid about the fact that Her Imperial Highness, Princess Alexandra, the third daughter of Empress Audrey and Prince Richard, third-in-line for the Luthorian throne would be conducting her studies abroad, studying in Lourenne rather than in Luthori. This announcement is quite unexpected coming from the Imperial Family as traditionally, all members of the Imperial family, regardless of their ranks in the line of succession, were studying in Luthori, then serving time in the Imperial Armed Forces. Yet, alongside her mother’s reign anniversary celebrations, it seems that this new announcement set the stone for some form of “modernization” of the royals.

Indeed, it should also be noted that Her Majesty the Empress [Audrey] and His Highness the Prince Consort [Richard] have approved what seems to be a wish coming from Her Highness herself. She’s always been known as being one of the most talented and intelligent royals currently living and while her siblings are also intelligent on their own right, Princess Alexandra has excelled in discipline such as philosophy, law and economics classes, along with speaking numerous languages fluently, such as Luthorian, her mother tongue, alongside other languages such as Vrassan, which is similar to Luthorian in some degree, but also integrates elements coming from the Egelian language, she’s also speaking Dundorfian, similar in some form to Luthorian due to their shared linguistic heritage, Canrillaise, which is mostly spoken by all members of the Imperial Family, and most surprisingly, Yingdalan.

A language which is not widely spoken within the House of Orange-Villayn and also reminding everyone of some not-too fond memories about the collapse of the Luthorian colonial empire and the fascist coup that resulted in this. Yet, ever since Emperor William X made a state visit to Yingdala alongside his Prime Minister, relations between both countries and their image in both respective countries have begun to shift towards an affirmative/positive view of both nations and their respective cultures, which may explain the recent surge in interest in learning Gao-Showan languages recently in Luthori. A trend which begun with a surge in interest for Dankukian culture, amids the marriage of their King with another man, the first openly gay marriage in a monarchy. While this also led to some interrogations about the acceptance of homosexuality in royal families, this debate was promptly shut down by the Orange Palace’s Press Corps which filed a complaint to some newspapers about this subject.

HM Empress-Queen Audrey is stated to have approved a preliminary draft to exempt her daughter from military service in the Imperial Luthorian Armed Forces, citing the “incompatibility” of her studies abroad with the military service in Luthori. It seems that the 19-year old princess isn’t going to see military service in order to continue her studies and will most likely see a civilian service being imposed on her, compared to her siblings. Princess Alexandra is expected to take up studies during the beginning of May at the University of Delaune, one of Lourenne’s most renowned and known universities. Where Her Imperial Highness is expected to learn these three subjects, alongside continuing her practice of Canrillaise, Dundorfian and Yingdalan, she is also expected to begin a course in history and political science, subjects that she already begun to learn thanks to the Luthorian education system, which during high school basically let students choose what they want to do.

Crown Street and the Malvin Headquarters, alongside the Citadel refused to comment on the Princess’ “dodging” of military service.
