Hello! Life sometimes gets in the way of writing, and sometimes I just don't prioritize well, but here I am with a selection of the newspaper coverage from the last few chapters of Twist of Fate. As always, I am deeply grateful for Kslchen for letting me play in this wonderful world she created, and always encouraging me to write.

Watching the Sunset
(Photo montage of Rilla, Joy, Nan and Di at various London tourist sites)
Twitter and Instagram went crazy last week as tourists snapped and posted photos of Rilla Blythe out-and-about in London with her sisters Joy Raine, Nan Blythe and Diana Blythe.
"It was like they were following the same itinerary as we were, I can't believe they're here," one tourist from Toronto, Canada said "we never see them at home, but we visit London and they are everywhere!"
Our favourite comment, however come from Bill Wolf, a regular at Kew's City Barge pub, where the girls were snapped enjoying lunch in the sun.
"Watching the four sisters, was like watching the sunset," said Bill, "as the sun hit their Titian locks, it highlighted all the shades of orange and red."
Rilla Blythe's sister were said to be visiting her in London for a few weeks. Post your photos with the hashtag #almostroyal and we'll print the best of them in future editions.

The Future Royal Family?
Visitors to Kensington Palace were surprised by a glimpse of the future as Rilla Blythe and two young children who almost looked like they were her own, appeared into the main ballroom at Kensington Palace. The identity of the children became clear when they were heard questioning 'Aunt Rilla' about hawks in one painting.

"I was visiting Kensington Palace when Rilla Blythe and the children suddenly appeared, " said Elaine Samuels, an Australian visiting London this summer , "it felt like I was getting a glimpse of what the royal family will be like in the future, she's a natural with the children, she's going to make a marvellous Royal mother someday."
Royal Seal of Approval
As if that wasn't enough, His Royal Highness, The Prince of Wales, joined them sometime later. And if anyone was in doubt as to their relationship, he was seen dropping a lingering kiss on Rilla's lips, leaving us in no doubt about how close these two are.

Royal Wedding?
These glimpses of what the future of the royal family could look like, has speculation buzzing about when these two will make it official. Which leads to the question….just what is stopping the Prince popping the question?

All in Family: Cinderilla swaps prince
(grainy photo of Rilla with Teddy in swimwear on beach, laughing)
Much has been speculated if Rilla Blythe will continue to pursue her royal agenda, following "lingerie-gate", as the photos of her in her underwear have come to be known. Some commentators tipping she would run home, lace covered tail between her legs, but no, this Mata Hari seems to have increased her chances of marrying into the royal family by seducing the King-in-waiting's younger brother.

Princess Hopeful Reveals All
The Duke of Kendal could not keep his eyes off Rilla Blythe as she cavorted alone with him on a private beach in an itsy bitsy teenie weenie blue polka-dot bikini, that left even less to the imagination than lingerie-gate. One can only imagine what they were doing when they both ducked behind a convenient group of magnolia trees, not to be seen again for several minutes.
The Prince of Wales has been doing his royal duty attending commemorative events. There had been questions in the press as to why the Duke of Kendal wasn't similarly engaged, but we can now see that he took it as the perfect opportunity to succumb to Rilla Blythe's charms.
It is widely known that the royal brothers have never been close. This betrayal of Miss Blythe with the Princes' own brother is unlikely to lead to brotherly affections. King Owen and Queen Leslie are said to be beside themselves with worry about the situation. The Prince of Wales, long besotted with the red-haired Canadian, insists of inviting her to the various family home and when called away on duty is forced to leave her with his brother, little realising that for girls like Rilla it's any royal port in a storm.
Photographs of their sandy seduction can be seen on pages 3,4,5,6, 7 and 8.
Next week: See photos of Rilla Blythe and the Princess Royal taken on the same beach the next day. Is Raunchy Rilla also indulging in some Sappho seduction? Judge for yourselves!

Royal Family Smooth Sailing
Despite recent media coverage of Royal rifts, due to the fickly passions of Rilla Blythe, the entire royal family took to the high seas last week .
(grainy photo of the royals on a public wharf heading towards the royal yacht)
Rilla Blythe, known for her love of skimpy, revealing swimwear opted on this occasion to wear shorts and a collared t-shirt, showing that even the Canadian interloper knows not to flaunt her assets in front of the King.
The Royal family and their non-royal Canadian guest were seen to be laughing as they headed towards the Royal Yacht, and were still in high spirits five hours later when they returned at the end of the day.
Queen Leslie and Rilla Blythe were seen to be in deep conversations as they walked down the gangway, towards the awaiting cars. Queen Leslie then entered the first vehicle with King Owen and the Duke of Kendal while after what looked like a moment's hesitation Miss Blythe opted to join the Prince of Wales and the Princess Royal in the second vehicle. Was Queen Leslie advising Rilla Blythe to choose a brother and stick with him? It seemed to be a decision that pleased the Prince of Wales, who beamed at the Canadian as she saunted towards him.
Royal Wedding?
If Rilla Blythe has indeed made her choice, all we can do now is await the announcement of a Royal Wedding. It has been said that her recent work experience for an events company specialising in weddings for the rich and famous has given her a taste for what to expect and no doubt she will be hoping to secure London's best venues – and her prince – before the year is out.
