“Jennifer is someone who loves you from the heart. No matter how much you argue
you cannot be drawn apart.
She is a joy that cannot be taken away.
Once she enters your life, she is there to stay.”
-Prince Edward, Earl of Wessex
"Aunt Jennie!" Louise exclaimed running towards me as I walked into Bagshot Park which is the official residence of my brother Prince Edward and his wife, Sophie and their two children Louise and James.
"Hello, Loulou." I said hugging her and letting her drag me into the tea room where Sophie and Edward were.
"Hello, Jennie." Sophie said greeting me with a kiss on the cheek.
"Hello, Soph." I said.
"Hello, Jennie. How are you?" Edward said as I gave him a hug.
"Hello, Eddie, and I'm wonderful. How are you?" I said as I took a seat next to him. Louise left the room and Sophie poured me some tea. "Thank you, Soph." I said smiling.
"Jennie, what is it that I hear Charles and you are fighting again?" Edward asked. I rolled my eyes.
"Apparently, he's still upset about me not being friends with Camila and that I still communicate with Sarah." I answered.
"So he is upset that you have a better relationship with your other sisters in law then with his wife?" Sophie asked.
"Yes, it's very childish if you ask me." I replied.
"We all know Charles and his ego." Edward said.
"A very large ego that I don't mind deflating for him." I said.

"Charles, if you do not leave me alone about Camila, we will have real problems." I said as I walked into my mum's office.
"Are you two still fighting?" My mum asked.
"Mum, Charles does not know when to stop pestering people." I answered.
"Charles, what is the problem this time?" Mum asked.
"I want Jennifer, to have tea with Camilla and she refuses to. I just want my sister to get along with my wife, is that too much to ask?" Charles replied.
"I said I would when I have time. My life does not revolve around you and your wife." I said.
"Jennifer, said she would so Charles give her a chance, and as I recall you acted the same way with
Hakeem, so you have no room to be upset about her not being close to Camilla." Mum said.
"Thank you very much, mum." I said, sticking my tongue out at Charles.
"For heaven sakes, Jennifer, act your age." Charles said.
"Whatever you say, old man." I said.

She's had a hectic few days of royal engagements, but fresh-faced Princess Jennifer, The Duchess of Buckingham was all smiles this morning as she continued her busy schedule on a visit to the Royal Victoria Chapel in Hampshire.

"Meghan, I'm so delighted that you are here. I hope you did not have any trouble getting here on your own." I said as I lead Meghan inside of the house.
"Nope, I had a smooth journey coming here." Meghan said as I offered her to take a seat on the couch.
"Have you eaten? Would you like something to drink?" I asked her.
"Water, would be fine, thank you." She answered.
I smiled at her.
"Okay, I'll be right back." I said, walking to the kitchen.
I fixed a tray with water, finger sandwiches, some fruits and orange juice and walked back to the living room.
"I hope you don't mind but I made some finger sandwiches just incase you get hungry or I can cook you something for you want." I said placing the tray on the table.
"Oh my Goodness, thank you." She said.
"You're welcome, so how are you and Harry doing?" I asked.
"We're doing great." She answered.
"You do not have to hide your feelings with me, Meghan, I can read emotions like a book, sweetheart." I said.
She sighed and looked down at the glass of water in her hands before looking up at me.
"Honestly, I'm scared. This is all very new for me." She said.
"I understand, Meghan, I was in the same boat as you when I first started dating Hakeem." I said.
"Really?" She asked.
"Oh yes, do not let me being royal fool you. I was so scared because like you the media said horrible and degrading things about me especially in Angosia. But my love for Hakeem was stronger than a few printed words." I answered.
"How did you handle all of it?" Meghan asked.
"I had a strong support system. I had Hakeem, of course, but also Diana, Sarah, Sophie, my sister and my mum, who basically let the world know that she supported my relationship and there was nothing anyone could do or say about it that would change her mind. Since then, the media have turned into our biggest support, well most of the time. Any way, what I'm saying is, Meghan, whenever you feel that you cannot talk to Harry, about how you are feeling, you can talk to me, I know you do not have family here so I would be honored to be a form of support for you." I replied.
"Oh my God, I would love that, thank you, Jenny." She said, smiling.
"You're welcome, now let's go take a look at that garden." I said, smiling.
