Welcome to round seven!
This round, the third child gets a significant other, gender of your choice, and the eldest daughter has a son.
Optionally, the Dowager Consort may also remarry; as usual, their spouse's gender is at your discretion.
(NOTE: I noticed some players already gave their third son, the Prince, a SO last round. If such is the case, simply switch the orders around and replace said Prince with the illegitimate son for this round.)
The PromptA few years later, after the eldest daughter's marriage, it is her younger brother's turn to find a suitable match. Various prospective suitors, both local and foreign, noble and commoner, are rumoured to be the likely candidates. Fortuitously, the chosen spouse-to-be is popular with the people, and the match gains public approval. However, the eldest daughter did not hear the announcement for one simple reason: she was starting to enter labour! When her son is born, the first of a new generation in the royal family, the news was met with general rejoicing, marking the day as an especially jubilant one. Who is the son's betrothed? How did the daughter pregnancy and birth go?
The children are not the only ones granted the joy of a happy union. Over the years, the Dowager Consort had slowly worked through her grief and loss at the late Monarch's death. And now, many years later, she finds herself falling in love with someone again. Who is this person? Is it truly a second love, or had their love blossomed earlier than publically known? And should they marry, what will be the status of the Dowager's new spouse?
