“I like to wake up before the kitchen staff to prepare them a special treat before they get started working. Today I made peach preserves and a few loaves of bread. This is my favorite way to say thank you for all of the hard work they put in for us and I can tell that they appreciate it.

Oh, it was lovely and beautifully gilded - nothing like an actual pumpkin at all save for the shape of the coach. The inside was lined in impressive silks and it was arguably one of the most glamorous experiences I have ever had to this day.

They are doing well actually, they live in an estate just outside of the palace. They’re both married now and have settled down considerably. We were able to put our differences aside, and they often join us for dinner and holidays.
