"We're going to New York this weekend," Christopher announced, and the members of the royal family assembled in the dining hall gawked at him in surprise. It was more of a shock than a surprise for them. The King grinned at their confused faces. He demanded Alastair clear his schedule so that he could join them on this short family vacation.
"This family holiday is necessary for all of us. We all are so busy with our work we hardly spend time with family. I'm sure the children will be delighted if we could enjoy our time together," Christopher said, winking at his granddaughters. Gisela and Helena high-fived each other in celebration, grinning from ear to ear.
