MONARCH CHANGES LINE OF SUCCESSION
This announcement came as a surprise to many, but not to all. Prince Aldrich has suffered from inactivity due to family and health issues for some time, and despite some misgivings and melancholy feelings, most are optimistic that William will serve as Prince of Wales with distinction. After removing Aldrich and raising William, the king chose to adopt Daniel in what he said in a private interview to be "in light of Daniel's service to the region and general hardworking nature." The King issued Letters Patent soon after Daniel's adoption, raising him from Earl of Oxford to Duke of St. Albans, and granting him the title "Prince of the Realm" as well.
