Queen Mother Retires
Her Majesty the Queen Mother Georgiana (Neisse) has retired from NationStates just before the beginning of this month, planning to concentrate of her two new twin babies. The Queen Mother stated on the 20th of March;
The region will dearly miss Neisse, who created British Isles and led it into its golden age, and was a figure many looked up to.
Rush Hour In Parliament
Parliament has seen a 'rush hour' of types in the first week of being open, around ten different bills entering the floor of the House of Lords. However as the House of Lords steamed ahead, the House of Commons found itself stuck for the first half of the week, arguing over voting procedures and trying to elect a Speaker.
As a result, only two bills and a small number of minor amendments have so far emerged from the House of Commons, consisting primarily of a recruitment act, which the house spent days debating, unable to decide who is responsible for recruitment and a copyright act that many have criticised as useless. It seems the House of Commons former productivity in the last two terms may be falling apart, while the House of Lords, formerly considered a home for lazy people who failed to get a job in the lower house, has stolen the position as primary producer of legislation.
Royal Wedding Bells
Royal wedding bells have rung out across the Kingdom this week after His Royal Majesty King Edward IX announced his engagement to Her Danish Highness Princess Clarissa Megan Fairy of Denmark-Greenland. They were later married in a ceremony on the 30th of March, conducted by Joakim Oldenburg at Westminister Abbey to an audience of dozens of happy cheering British Islanders.
The marriage is the first time a British Isles monarch has married, the former Queen spurning marriage fiercely. And despite the marriage, the King has yet to announce the chosen heir to the throne, which has set the gossip columns alight over the last few weeks, especially after the King and Queen clarified that the Kensington family would remain restricted directly to themselves and any chosen heir, meaning Fairy's large extended family remain out of the line of inheritance.
