It has been a long time since I addressed my court, but it is gratifying to see I still have some of your loyalty:

Wow! Just seems like yesterday he was born.

I gotta couple princesses you might be willing to give a promise or special arrangement to.

I’ll be waiting on the court decree. No need to worry about glass slippers or kissing while they sleep. Just lead them to room the royal jewels are kept. And _show me the money_. 👑🤑

You’re still king?!? Hope you’re not mad about what I did to that guy I thought was just pretending to be one of your viziers. I could have sworn you were deposed or de-somethinged years ago.

I must admit that a barrel of monkeys sounds less like a thing that would be “fun” and more like a thing that would be “extremely cruel and spectacularly smelly”.

Since my first post in this thread, my allegiance has shifted, by the natural turn of events, from Her late Majesty to His current Majesty.
