2010
The atmosphere at Kensington Palace buzzed with excitement as Faith, who just turned Eighteen, prepared for her first solo outing to a public place, accompanied by security. Charles, recognizing Faith's milestone birthday and her growing independence, made the decision to allow her to venture out with the appropriate precautions in place.
"Are you sure about this, Charles?" Diana asked with a hint of concern as she watched Faith gather her things.
Charles nodded reassuringly, his gaze filled with pride. "I believe Faith is ready for this step. She's proven herself to be responsible and mature beyond her years."
"I know, she is way beyond smart, but I can't help but worry, oh how our little girl has grown so much "Diana says getting emotional.
"It feels like yesterday I held my baby girl for the first time. But we must let her have her independence" Charles agreed.
"Now tell me how's my outfit today." Charles shifts the subject to stop Diana getting emotional more.
"Charles, you simply must wear the blue tie today. It brings out the color of your eyes," she playfully teased him about his choice of attire.
Charles chuckled in response, "Ah, but my dear, I believe the red tie is more fitting for today's meetings."
"Then why did you ask me?" she playfully glared at him making him laugh.
Meanwhile, Philip approached Charles with a confident smile, eager to share their plans for the day. "Sir, I've arranged for Faith to visit Imperial College with me today. We'll be accompanied by security, of course."
With Phil by her side, Faith was eager to explore Imperial College, the university where he had been studying medicine for the past three years. Although Faith did Als when she was fifteen had been selected to study at Oxford being the top of the country that year, she waited until she is eighteen to go to university. Charles at Diana wanted her to wait to have more freedom and get her university experience to the fullest. her decision to attend Imperial College this year and study Bio medical engineering was fueled by her desire to remain close to her parents.
Charles nodded in approval, smiling warmly. "it's a wonderful idea, Phil. Faith has been looking forward to exploring the campus with you. Make sure she stays safe and enjoys herself."
Phil beamed with excitement. "Absolutely, sir. I'll make sure Faith is in good hands."
"Papa, I promise I'll be careful," Faith approached Charles, her eyes shining with excitement as she hugged him tightly. Then she hugged Diana giving her a kiss in cheek. "Goodbye mummy"
Charles and Diana smiled proudly at his daughter; their hearts filled with mixed emotions at seeing her take this important step. "Goodbye darling. Just remember to stay close to your security detail." Diana reminds her.
Faith and Phil set off for Imperial College, accompanied by security. As they embarked on their adventure, Charles and Diana watched proudly from the palace gates, their hearts swelling with pride at seeing their daughter take her first steps into adulthood with confidence and grace.
As Phil showed Faith around Imperial College, Faith couldn't help but notice the curious glances and whispered comments from the other students. Phil took her hand gently, guiding her through the campus with a reassuring smile, making sure she felt comfortable and at ease in her new surroundings.
As they walked together, Faith couldn't help but notice the curious glances and whispered comments from the other students.
"Hey, isn't that the princess?" one student whispered to her friend, nudging her subtly.
"Yeah and look at the guy she's with. He's pretty handsome" her friend replied, casting a curious glance at Phil.
Another voice interrupted their conversation. "Actually, Phil is just Faith's best friend from school. They've known each other for years."
The students turned to see an acquaintance of Faith's from secondary school approaching them, offering a friendly smile.
"Oh, really? But he seems older, and I think they are dating," one of the students joked, eliciting laughter from the group.
"Yeah, Best friends? Looks like there might be more to it than that," another commented.
The acquaintance shook his head, chuckling. "Yes, Phil is already in his third year. He's doing medicine and they're just really close."
"But who knows? With all this time spent together, maybe they'll end up together after all."
As Faith and Phil wandered through the halls of Imperial College, the vibrant energy of the campus enveloped them. Students passed by their eyes widening in recognition as they spotted the princess in their midst. A group of enthusiastic students approached Faith, their excitement palpable.
"Princess Faith, may we please take a photo with you?" one of the students asked eagerly, holding out their phone.
Faith smiled graciously, accustomed to such requests. "Of course, I'd be happy to."
As the students gathered around Faith for the photo, Phil stood by her side, his protective instinct kicking in. He observed the interaction with a watchful eye, ensuring Faith felt comfortable and at ease.
After the photo was taken, the students thanked Faith and began to disperse. However, one of them lingered, casting a curious glance at Philip.
"Hey, who's this guy with you, Princess Faith?" the student asked with a hint of curiosity.
Faith smiled warmly at Phil, her eyes reflecting gratitude for his presence. "This is Phil, my best friend."
Phil stepped forward, extending his hand with a friendly smile. "Nice to meet you. I'm Phil."
The student shook Phil's hand enthusiastically, impressed by his polite demeanor. "Pleasure to meet you, Phil and have a nice day princess"
Faith smiled "you too and please call me by my name. I'm just a student here like you."
"sure, princess no I mean Faith is it okay?" he blushed.
"of course, it's okay" Faith replied with a gentle smile
As the student walked away, Phil turned to Faith with a gentle smile. "Are you okay, Faith? I know these interactions can be overwhelming sometimes."
Faith nodded, touched by Phil's consideration. "Yes Phil, and thanks for being with me"
"What do you mean? Of course, I'll always be with you silly girl "Phil pinched her nose playfully.
Faith couldn't help but blush as she recounted his caring and playful gestures.
As they approached another group of students, Phil took the lead, engaging them in light-hearted conversation and deflecting attention away from Faith to give her a moment of respite. He seamlessly steered the conversation towards their shared interests, allowing Faith to join in at her own pace.
As Faith excitedly shared her day with her parents in the cozy sitting room of Kensington Palace, Princess Diana and Prince Charles listened attentively,
As Faith's excitement bubbled over, Diana and Charles exchanged a knowing glance, their smiles mirroring each other's. They understood the significance of this moment for Faith and cherished the opportunity to share in her joy.
"We can't wait to see what amazing things you'll accomplish at school next Monday, Faith," Charles said, his voice filled with genuine excitement.
As the conversation continued to flow in the cozy sitting room of Kensington Palace, Diana smiled warmly as she turned to Faith with a twinkle in her eye.
"Faith, darling, I have some exciting news for you," Diana announced, her voice filled with anticipation.
Faith's eyes widened with curiosity as she leaned in closer. "What is it, Mummy?"
Diana's smile widened as she revealed the news. "Will and Catherine will be visiting us on Sunday."
Faith's face lit up with delight at the mention of her older brother and his fiancée.
"Really? I can't wait to see Will and Catherine! It's been too long since we last saw them."
William was busy preparing to his wedding and with his official duties. He have been offered an apartment in Kensington palace by their granny and he moved out last month, so he didn't have much time to see Faith for the past month.
Diana reached out to gently pat Faith's hand; her eyes filled with warmth. "Yes, sweetie Will wanted to see you before you start University. It will be lovely to have them here with us."
As Faith's excitement bubbled over, she couldn't contain her enthusiasm. " And Mummy guess what? We can talk about the wedding with Catherine. I'm so excited to see big bro finally tie the knot!" Faith exclaimed, her eyes sparkling with excitement.
Diana nodded in agreement, a playful glint in her eye. "Absolutely! It's about time right sweetie?"
Faith chuckled "Yess! I'm already thinking about what to wear! Mummy do you think I should go for something bold or keep it classy?"
Diana grinned, her eyes twinkling with amusement. "Oh, the eternal fashion dilemma! How about we go shopping together and find the perfect outfit?"
Faith's face lit up with excitement at the suggestion. "Yes, please! That will be so much fun"
"hey everyone! faith is eighteen now!"
