The Prince Consort of the United Kingdom 🇬🇧

You are the newly crowned Queen of the United Kingdom. Philip is your husband, a prince; while your title has ascended from princess to queen, his remains that of prince. Your father has died, and you are his successor, while your mother has become the “Queen Mother.”

You and Philip were married only a few months ago. You have been intimate twice, and from that came a child who is now ten months old. The marriage was arranged and one of convenience. You are 28, and he is 39.

You are merely friends. At this moment, you stand in the palace hall, gazing out the window at the crowd that still mourns your father’s death. Your coronation will take place in a year, in 1953. The current year is 1952.
