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.
