The previous Queen, that is. The current King's mother. Such a sweet girl. But that's not the point. When they were still young, it was a well-known fact that they couldn't have found a better match for the Crown Prince, and he ascended the throne the day of his wedding, as his father stepped down.
Now, none of us caught them at it, but that was because we were giving them as much privacy as we could when they were all over each other every waking moment of the day.
How he managed to govern is a mystery. I suspect that the retired King did most of the actual work that first year.
