A Royal Proposal

My dear readers,

It seems the tides of fate have taken an unexpected turn for one of our society's most enigmatic members. Our very own Dimond, Scarlett White, once a mysterious presence in our midst, has now found herself thrust into the spotlight in a most extraordinary fashion.

In a remarkable turn of events, it has been revealed that the esteemed Queen herself has extended an unprecedented offer to Miss White: the opportunity to ascend to the throne as the next Queen of England. Such news has sent shockwaves through the highest echelons of society, leaving many to wonder at the implications of this historic proposition.

But as we know all too well, the path to the throne is fraught with obstacles and challenges, and Miss White's journey is no exception. For alongside the honor of becoming queen comes the weighty responsibility of finding a suitable consort to share the throne.

Indeed, it appears that the Queen herself has wasted no time in addressing this matter, as evidenced by her recent declaration to Miss White: "But first," the Queen stated, "we need to find you a husband."

Such words have sent ripples of speculation throughout the ton, with whispers abounding about potential suitors vying for Miss Beaumont's hand in marriage. Will she choose a dashing duke, a wealthy earl, or perhaps a foreign prince to stand at her side as King consort?

Only time will tell, my dear readers, as Miss White navigates the treacherous waters of courtship and intrigue in her quest for love and destiny.

Yours truly,

Lady Whistledown
