I'm afraid I kept switching tenses, and obviously, the story is completely historically inaccurate. I enjoyed it an awful lot though, I love your year games!
Year 1
H [24] King Arthur Barnaby Talbot (black hair, brown eyes)
W [20] Queen Alice Rosalind Talbot (brown hair, hazel eyes)
King William V has been gravely ill for a long time, and wanted to see his eldest son and heir to the throne, King Arthur, married as quick as possible. Therefore, an engagement was arranged between the young prince and Alice Talbot, an opulent Worcestershire duchess, and the couple were hastily married only 3 months later. The joy of the newly-weds was interrupted quickly - the morning after their wedding night, news arrived that King William died of a heart attack.
Year 2
H [25] King Arthur Barnaby Talbot (black hair, brown eyes)
W [21] Queen Alice Rosalind Talbot (brown hair, hazel eyes)
A year has passed since the royal wedding, and the queen still hasn't conceived a child. However, she is enjoying married life greatly, especially joining her husband while hunting. While her new pastime raised a few eyebrows at first, it soon became clear that Queen Alice, despite never having hunted before, is much better at it than her husband - and most of his companions.
Year 3
H [26] King Arthur Barnaby Talbot (black hair, brown eyes)
W [22] Queen Alice Rosalind Talbot (brown hair, hazel eyes)
DD [nb] Princess Augusta Maude Talbot (black hair, brown eyes)
The queen gives birth to a daughter, Princess Augusta. While King Arthur was hoping for an heir to the throne, Queen Alice is ecstatic, and vows to give her daughter a diverse education. All of England is shocked by a series of gruesome murders of boy prostitutes, mostly carried out in Whitechapel, London. The unidentified killer has been dubbed The Whitechapel Wasp by the newspapers.
Year 4
H [27] King Arthur Barnaby Talbot (black hair, brown eyes)
W [23] Queen Alice Rosalind Talbot (brown hair, hazel eyes)
DD [1] Princess Augusta Maude Talbot (black hair, brown eyes)
DD [nb] Princess Iris Miranda Talbotbrown hair, hazel eyes)
Another daughter, Princess Iris, is born. The queen's father, The Duke of Talbot, who despised his wife for giving birth to 8 daughters, and not a single son, was furious at the queen and refused to see his new granddaughter. Queen Alice said that if he doesn't want to see his granddaughter, he'll never see any of his grandsons either, and an argument erupted. It is unlikely that she will ever reconcile with her father.
Year 5
H [28] King Arthur Barnaby Talbot (black hair, brown eyes)
W [24] Queen Alice Rosalind Talbot (brown hair, hazel eyes)
DD [2] Princess Augusta Maude Talbot (black hair, brown eyes)
DD [1] Princess Iris Miranda Talbotbrown hair, hazel eyes)
DS [nb] Prince Laurence Augustus Talbot (brown hair, hazel eyes)
An heir to the English crown, Prince Laurence, is born. The queen's father has written to her asking to meet his grandson, but she burnt all his letters.
Year 6
H [29] King Arthur Barnaby Talbot (black hair, brown eyes)
W [25] Queen Alice Rosalind Talbot (brown hair, hazel eyes)
DD [3] Princess Augusta Maude Talbot (black hair, brown eyes)
DD [2] Princess Iris Miranda Talbotbrown hair, hazel eyes)
DS [1] Prince Laurence Augustus Talbot (brown hair, hazel eyes)
Queen Alice has unfortunately miscarried, and both her husband and her are distraught. This year was an eventful one for England - thousands of workers went on strike, demanding better conditions.
Year 7
H [30] King Arthur Barnaby Talbot (black hair, brown eyes)
W [26] Queen Alice Rosalind Talbot (brown hair, hazel eyes)
DD [4] Princess Augusta Maude Talbot (black hair, brown eyes)
DD [3] Princess Iris Miranda Talbotbrown hair, hazel eyes)
DS [2] Prince Laurence Augustus Talbot (brown hair, hazel eyes)
DD [nb] Princess Isabel Daisy Talbot(black hair, brown eyes)
Another daughter, Princess Isabel, is born. Princess Augusta, a lively and energetic child of 4, is thrilled to welcome a sister. On the other hand, the quieter Princess Iris, who looks up to Augusta, is jealous of baby Isabel stealing all of her beloved nanny's attention.
Year 8
H [31] King Arthur Barnaby Talbot (black hair, brown eyes)
W [27] Queen Alice Rosalind Talbot (brown hair, hazel eyes)
DD [5] Princess Augusta Maude Talbot (black hair, brown eyes)
- Fiancé [3] Charles Leonard Woodville (red hair, blue eyes)
DD [4] Princess Iris Miranda Talbotbrown hair, hazel eyes)
DS [3] Prince Laurence Augustus Talbot (brown hair, hazel eyes)
DD [1] Princess Isabel Daisy Talbot(black hair, brown eyes)
DD [nb] Edith Diana Talbot (brown hair, brown eyes)
Yet another girl, Princess Edith, joins the family. A close friend of the king, The Duke of Farnborough, proposes a marriage between Princess Augusta and his 3-year-old son, Charles. Though King Arthur was hoping Augusta would marry into a foreign royal family, he accepts, since he cherishes his friendship with the duke, who has an important role in parliament. Naturally, the marriage will only take place when Charles turns 18, but both the king and the duke think it'd be marvellous if Augusta and Charles became friends before their marriage, and who knows, perhaps the two will fall in love in the future? Nothing seems to indicate it yet, though - when informed of her engagement, Princess Augusta said: "Oh. What's for tea?" and, despite only having met her fiancé once so far, has already decided he's no fun to play with, since he started crying when she informed him his toy soldiers all died of the plague (the 5-year-olds' most recent obsession).
Year 9

DS [4] Prince Laurence Augustus Talbot (brown hair, hazel eyes)
DD [2] Princess Isabel Daisy Talbot(black hair, brown eyes)

An epidemic of flu sweeps through the country, reaping many lives, mostly of young children and the elderly. The only person who falls sick is Queen Alice, who is of child - while she survives, she also suffers a miscarriage, and is heartbroken.
