: 1. I was already a “queen” in my own area
: before I became a real Princess.
:
: 2. I recovered the throne my grand-father

: Queen. My son succeeded his father and my
: daughter also became a Queen.
:
: 5. The woman I choosed to marry was not

: concerned.
:
: 6. I am the middle daughter of a King. I am
: the only one that did not became a Queen.

:
: 9. I am a Royal Duke who married a commoner.
