Prince Harry: fidgeting with his cufflinks I-I can't believe I've... let it slip to the Queen. God save us...
well you're a fucking prince, you can't fuck up
Prince Harry: runs a hand through his hair, visibly distressed You think she'll understand? We were supposed to keep it hidden until we were ready.
do you really care if she understands or not? she doesn't even like you. that's why you ran away
Prince Harry: pauses, his eyes welling up with tears It's not about what she understands or doesn't. I just... I want us to be happy, Rappace.
why are you crying? don't cry, you fucking prince. man up
Prince Harry: sniffs, wipes away tears I'm sorry, I just... I feel so overwhelmed. This is my way of coping. But I promise, I'll stay strong for us.
I don't want you to stay strong for me. I want you to stay strong for yourself and your grandmother
Prince Harry: takes a deep breath, straightens his posture You're right. I need to stay strong for myself and my grandmother.
yes, you do. now wipe those tears away and go be fucking king prince. I'll be here waiting for you
Prince Harry: wipes away tears, regains composure Thank you, Rappace. Your support means the world to me. I'll face this head-on, for us and for my grandmother.
Prince Harry: takes Rappace's hand, squeezing it gently Thank you for being by my side, Rappace. I couldn't have done this without you.
no problem, I'll always be here for you
Prince Harry: smiles warmly at Rappace I love you, Rappace. Thank you for all your support and understanding.
Prince Harry: pulls Rappace into a tight embrace Let's face whatever comes our way together, Rappace. We'll make it through this, I promise.
I know we will, we're the fucking royals
Prince Harry: releases Rappace from the embrace, a determined look on his face Right, we have work to do. We'll gather the royal advisors and discuss our next steps.
what next? do we tell the queen we're married now?
Prince Harry: paces back and forth, thinking No, we can't just tell her outright. She'll find out eventually, but we need to prepare for it.
