A couple of days later Queen Siobathan met privately with Lila. She really didn't know what to say. She didn't know that Lila had told Princess Bonnie about the meeting. Princess Bonnie had never told Lila that she already knew and had known for quite a while that the Queen was her mother. She decided never to tell her.

Lila had a lot of questions but decided not to ask them all, at least not yet.

Beginning of Racing season 1980

Princcess Siobathan had never been to a race. She had been invited to attend the Daytona 500 by a friend. The fact that a real Princess was attending the race was a big deal. The race was televised in Ireland. The Princess stood with the other racing queens as the winner Chris Archer kissed them all. His eyes were on her. He didn't care about the other women standing there.

From that day on, the Princess was in love with him. She went to several other races. Then she went out on several dates with him. She had never been out on a real date, so to speak. She never let on that she had never been on a date. She thought they were boyfriend/girlfriend but he had other ideas. She became very upset when she saw him flirting with other women.

Chris Archer wanted to score with the Princess just to say that he slept with a real Princess. She was ashamed to say that she was very drunk and didn't remember much about it the 3 times she slept with him. It was heartbreaking to her when she found out he was going around and telling everyone about it. She let him having it especially shortly after they had broken up that he was engaged to be married.

Fourth of July 1980 or around that time

Chris Archer was having an engagement party at his parent's home in Ponce Inlet. Princess Siobathan showed up and walked into the house and out to the pool area where he was. It was at that time she was going to tell him that she was pregnant (she was well into the first trimester of pregnancy). When she saw him with his bride to be, she totally lost it.

"Chris Archer is a cheater and a liar. " said Princess Siobathan.

Everyone became very quiet.

"Who are you?"

"I'm Princess Siobathan. I slept with your man. I had no idea you were engaged to be married to him. Otherwise I wouldn't have."

"I don't know what you're talking about. I didn't sleep with you. You must be in a dream world." said Chris laughing.

"I think you need to leave." said one of the guests.

"I'm not going to leave."

When someone touched the Princess, she reacted by spinning around and punching the person in the arm. She then pushed the person into the swimming pool.

"Chris Archer is a cheater and a liar. I'm just telling you all. He cheated on me and he will cheat on you. " screamed the Princess.

She was escorted out of the house yelling and screaming at the top of her lungs.

She tried to call him and he hung up on her. She wrote him letters telling him she needed to talked to him. They contacted her father who then told her that if she continued to do this, she would be sent home and not allowed to return to college. King Kevin thought his daughter had lost her marbles.

The Princess didn't gain a lot of weight and didn't look pregnant. No one noticed. She really didn't know what she was going to do. A couple of weeks before she was due, Chris Archer had been murdered by another man who accused him of cheating with his wife. This same man also murdered his wife. He was about a week away from getting married.

His death had taken its toll emotionally on Princess Siobathan. Even though she was not in love with him anymore, she had a bond with him that would never be broken. By the time she went to the funeral, the incident at Chris Archer's home had largely been forgotten.

Lila knew about her father's murder and knew that her father was a ladies man. This didn't really surprise her. The man who murdered her father was still in prison (he barely escaped the death penalty). While in high school she had read old newspaper clippings about the murder. Her father had been shot 4 times in the head. The wife of this man had been shot several times as well. There was outrage over Chris Archer's murder. People in the racing community had closed ranks. Even though Chris was known to cheat on girlfriends, this was covered up by the racing media and others. It still was covered up.

Lila had been one of racing queens. At age 16, she was the youngest one. No one tried to hid the fact that she was Chris Archer's daughter. She appeared in a couple of movies about race car drivers. This jump started her career. The parents that raised her were racing fans and growing up she was at the race track a lot. She loved it. Her parents really thought she might either marry a race car driver or someone in the racing community but she didn't.

The two had a very long chat. Now the big thing was if the Queen was going to go public with this. She had consulted several legal experts. If she went public with this, it didn't affect her title or crown as nothing in the Constitution mentioned this. She knew that she would be judged or criticized. Big time.

Last year she was harshly criticized when her 26 year old daughter had a child out of wedlock and refused to marry the commoner father. The attacks were vicious, against her daughter and against her. She got several letters from people telling her she was a bad mother and questioning her ability to be a Queen because of what happened. She didn't say much about it and refused to criticize her daughter. The commoner father played in a popular rock band. He came from a upper class background but was on the fringes of the royals (he had royal blood on the wrong side of the sheets and it was 20 times removed).

Back in 1973, King Kevin's nephew and Queen Siobathan cousin who was 21 at the time fathered a child out of wedlock with a model who was 17 years old and nothing was said about the nephew..His brother was not judged by others nor did people send him letters saying he was a bad father. The act of consent in Ireland was 18 years old. The nephew broke the law but this never came up at all. This is perhaps why her father wouldn't comment on it in public. Privately, the King wasn't too thrilled about this, but believed boys will be boys and this was just some youthful indiscretion and that he shouldn't be condemned for it the rest of his life. His judgment on the 17 year old model very different. Saw her as an opportunist who use his nephew to further her career and better her life. The Queen had often wondered how he would have judged her if he knew about her situation 30 years ago. It seemed like he had found out after death about it.

The 17 year old model and her family however, were judged very harshly. She was accused of deliberately getting pregnant and playing the oldest trick in the book. People sent nasty letters to her and her family. Double standard at play here. The couple eventually married and to the surprise of everyone were still married.

After thinking about it for several weeks, the Queen decided to face the music.

The next chapter will tell what happened after the Queen told the World that she had a secret daughter.
