Year 0
Leopold Edmund Theodore Courtenay, King of the United Kingdom [26, blonde hair, green eyes]
Alexandra Katherine Susannah Tollemache Courtenay, Queen of the United Kingdom [24, brown hair, blue eyes]
Leopold I is the young new king of the United Kingdom - thrust into the role a little unexpectedly after his father's rather premature death at the age of 57, some say he is the fresh blood the nation needs, while others worry he is inexperienced and may make poor choices. His wife, Queen Alexandra, is even younger, and the two have been married for slightly less than a year. The match wasn't exactly one of love, although they get along well enough, and Alexandra seems to be a popular queen.
Year 1
Leopold and Alexandra have not managed to conceive a child in the first two years of their marriage, which leads to some rumours around court. However, these quiet down when a large blaze breaks out at Buckingham Palace. Luckily, no one is hurt, but several rooms are almost entirely destroyed.
Year 2
Leopold Edmund Theodore Courtenay, King of the United Kingdom [28, blonde hair, green eyes]
Alexandra Katherine Susannah Tollemache Courtenay, Queen of the United Kingdom [26, brown hair, blue eyes]
Thomas Leopold William Courtenay, Crown Prince of the United Kingdom [0, brown hair, green eyes]
Charlotte Maria Alexandra Courtenay, Princess of the United Kingdom "Lotta" [0, blonde hair, brown eyes]
The nation is thrilled to learn that their beloved Queen is with child. She is sheltered from the public for several months, and in the days leading up to the birth everyone is on tenterhooks, speculating about whether the child will be a boy or a girl and whether mother and child will be healthy. It is a surprise to everyone when Alexandra gives birth to twins, a boy and a girl. Thomas immediately becomes crown prince and heir to the throne - Lotta has to make do with being given an affectionate nickname by her father. Tragically, not long after the twins are born, Alexandra's mother dies, having never got to meet her grandchildren.
Year 3
France and Britain engage in some heavy posturing and threat-making, and many in the know fear that it may spill over into war - thankfully, the situation is salvaged by some clever negotiation and kind words.
Year 4
Leopold Edmund Theodore Courtenay, King of the United Kingdom [30, blonde hair, green eyes]
Alexandra Katherine Susannah Tollemache Courtenay, Queen of the United Kingdom [28, brown hair, blue eyes]
Thomas Leopold William Courtenay, Crown Prince of the United Kingdom [2, brown hair, green eyes]
Charlotte Maria Alexandra Courtenay, Princess of the United Kingdom "Lotta" [2, blonde hair, brown eyes]
Katherine Victoria Blanche Courtenay, Princess of the United Kingdom [0, brown hair, blue eyes]
Leopold and Alexandra welcome a second daughter, Katherine, named for her late maternal grandmother. The same year, Leopold gifts Thomas and Lotta a kitten, whom they name May.
Year 5
The movement for women's suffrage is gathering momentum, and a crowd of hundreds of protestors gather outside Westminster, demanding changes in the law. Unfortunately, nothing comes of it, although Alexandra gives the group her tacit support.
Year 6
Leopold finds that he really does not get along with Lord Arrington, currently one of the senior members of the government. He can't help but feel that his cold manner and sharp words towards the man may have made him an enemy.
Year 7
Leopold Edmund Theodore Courtenay, King of the United Kingdom [33, blonde hair, green eyes]
Alexandra Katherine Susannah Tollemache Courtenay, Queen of the United Kingdom [31, brown hair, blue eyes]
Thomas Leopold William Courtenay, Crown Prince of the United Kingdom [5, brown hair, green eyes]
Charlotte Maria Alexandra Courtenay, Princess of the United Kingdom "Lotta" [5, blonde hair, brown eyes]
Katherine Victoria Blanche Courtenay, Princess of the United Kingdom [3, brown hair, blue eyes]
Theodore Alfred Ferdinand Courtenay, Prince of the United Kingdom [0, blonde hair, blue eyes]
It is said up and down the country that the King and Queen's fourth child, Prince Theodore, is an angelic looking boy, with his blonde hair and blue eyes. Lotta, however, is a little less perfect. Her customary short temper and desire for freedom has had her sent away for several weeks to stay with Alexandra's father, a stern (although kind) man with a house in the country, where he teaches Lotta to ride while trying to instill some discipline in her.
Year 8
Both Lotta and Thomas are sent to Alexandra's father this time - their parents see the good it did Lotta, and decide that it couldn't hurt to have Thomas trained in this way as well.
Year 9
Although they try, Leopold and Alexandra have found themselves unable to conceive a child for the past two years. Meanwhile, the country goes to the polls and elects a new prime minister - a new prime minister who seems unable to follow through on any of the promises he made, and is hated by his party and others alike. He soon enough faces a vote of no confidence, and the country is thrust into a second election campaign.
Year 10
Leopold Edmund Theodore Courtenay, King of the United Kingdom [36, blonde hair, green eyes]
Alexandra Katherine Susannah Tollemache Courtenay, Queen of the United Kingdom [34, brown hair, blue eyes]
Thomas Leopold William Courtenay, Crown Prince of the United Kingdom [8, brown hair, green eyes]
Charlotte Maria Alexandra Courtenay, Princess of the United Kingdom "Lotta" [8, blonde hair, brown eyes]
Katherine Victoria Blanche Courtenay, Princess of the United Kingdom [6, brown hair, blue eyes]
Theodore Alfred Ferdinand Courtenay, Prince of the United Kingdom [3, blonde hair, blue eyes]
Matilda Eleanor Susannah Courtenay, Princess of the United Kingdom [0, blonde hair, blue eyes]
Finally, Leopold and Alexandra have the fifth child they wished for - Matilda bears a striking resemblance to her brother Theodore. Thomas and Lotta, meanwhile, are delighted when they are visited by a renowned children's writer at court one evening. He reads them several stories, and Katherine is deeply jealous of both of them.
Year 11
Leopold Edmund Theodore Courtenay, King of the United Kingdom [37, blonde hair, green eyes]
Alexandra Katherine Susannah Tollemache Courtenay, Queen of the United Kingdom [35, brown hair, blue eyes]
Thomas Leopold William Courtenay, Crown Prince of the United Kingdom [9, brown hair, green eyes]
Charlotte Maria Alexandra Courtenay, Princess of the United Kingdom "Lotta" [9, blonde hair, brown eyes]
Katherine Victoria Blanche Courtenay, Princess of the United Kingdom [7, brown hair, blue eyes]
Theodore Alfred Ferdinand Courtenay, Prince of the United Kingdom [4, blonde hair, blue eyes]
Matilda Eleanor Susannah Courtenay, Princess of the United Kingdom [1, blonde hair, blue eyes]
Maximilian Edmund Philip Courtenay, Prince of the United Kingdom "Max" [0, brown hair, green eyes]
Lionel Roderick Tobias Courtenay, Prince of the United Kingdom [0, brown hair, blue eyes]
Aware that they probably don't have much longer to have children, Leopold and Alexandra try for another not long after Matilda is born - to their surprise, they end up with a second set of twins. Thomas and Lotta are rather put out that their special status has been stolen by Max and Lionel, but the newspapers get a whole week's worth of stories out of it

Years 12-20
Year 12
The streets of London are menaced for several months by a killer whose violence is almost unprecedented. Frighteningly, they are never caught, and Katherine is kept up by nightmares for weeks.
Year 13
The King of Denmark proposes that Lotta is betrothed his 14-year-old son, Christian - however, Alexandra insists that she is too young to be engaged. They agree to keep options open until Lotta is 14 and Christian 17. Lotta begins a correspondance with Christian.
Year 14
Women's rights activists again stage protests outside Parliament, which this time descend into violence. Queen Alexandra voices her approval for the sentiment, if not the practice, of the protests.
Year 15
Although Leopold and Alexandra have gotten along very well for 16 or 17 years of marriage now, they were never quite in love. However, when the Danish king and some of his family come to visit, Leopold cannot help but be taken with the king's sister, Christina, whose husband died some 6 years ago. Naturally, the relationship could never be, but Leopold confides his feelings in Alexandra all the same.
Year 16
A few weeks after the twins turn 14, an explosive argument kicks off between Leopold and Thomas. They refuse to tell anyone what it was about - Thomas won't even confide in Lotta - but the two of them refuse to speak for almost three weeks. Eventually, things cool down, as Thomas finds a new target for his outrage: Lotta, who has now been speaking with Prince Christian of Denmark for 3 years, tells her family that she would indeed be happy to marry him. The engagement is arranged within a few days, and although Thomas isn't happy at the idea of the loss of his sister, everyone else is thrilled. The couple will be married when Charlotte is 18.

21-24
Year 21
One of Leopold's most trusted advisors, Lord Whittingham, passed away a few months ago. Leopold had known him since he was a child, and while there are several options for his replacement, but Leopold cannot bring himself to choose any of them, and so leaves his post vacant instead.

Alexander Christian Leopold Fallingborg, Prince of Denmark [0, red hair, brown eyes]
There is great excitement over in Denmark as Lotta gives birth to a son, barely a year after she and Christian are married. Their son, Alexander, takes his second middle name from his grandfather. The entire English royal family comes over to Denmark for his christening - the 10-year-old Max and Lionel are particularly interested in their new nephew.
Year 22
The 15-year-old Theodore has increasingly been causing trouble for his parents, associating with the "wrong crowds" despite his parents' best attempts to stop him. Therefore, they resort to sending him to stay with Alexandra's now elderly father, a trick which worked on the twins and Katherine when they were young.

The nation is thrilled when it is announced that Lotta is again expecting. She gives birth to a healthy girl, Dagny, with the same red hair as her father. This time, only Alexandra and Katherine come to the christening. Much to Lotta's distress, Christian decides that he will serve in the army for several years at least before he must take the throne - although his regiment is unlikely to be put in too much danger, she still worries for his safety.
