"QUEEN OF KEDIAKIN TO TAKE ON A NEW WIFE"

QUEEN NURA AL-HASHIM has shocked the entire nation with the news that she plans to take on a new wife.
Her late husband Wassim al-Hashim had committed treason by means of her attempted murder a few months back.

As a predominantly heterosexual kingdom, it was expected for the queen to find a new husband. Queen Nura released a statement about her desire to have a woman as her partner.

There [have been] some mixed responses to the news.

The President of the United States said: "It is the twenty-first century and if The Queen wants to take on a new wife -- it shouldn't be that big of a deal."

However, the president of Uganda came forth with this statement "A Queen who partakes of promiscuous actions such as homosexuality encourages her own people to do so."
