Money, for me, has never been an issue – I have always had enough. How much? I never knew exactly – I didn't need to. Was it enough for my lifestyle? – It was everything I asked. Yes, it was, even more than that. It might have been enough to buy a smaller island or two. With inhabitants.

And I never really had to work for it. It came with my name, from my family, from our investments – really, scarcely any royals did any real jobs.

And, to be frank, I have always taken it granted - never really cared about it.

Then one morning Rose came to me, asking for money. And I gave her. A lot.

And the first time in my life I was really glad I had money.
