With news of the possible abdication leaked to the press, suspicion is all around and causing havoc with previously rock solid relationships within the Royal household.

Further details

As events escalate, Henry (wrongly) thinks he's managed to go 'off grid' for a clandestine meeting with Serena outside the Palace. Meanwhile, with news of the possible abdication leaked to the press, suspicion is all around and causing havoc with previously rock solid relationships within the Royal household. A reluctant Franny is tasked with finding the Palace mole and succeeds only in putting several noses out of joint, while at the same time Henry manages to mortally offend Gilbert and his relationship with Queen Katerina falls to a new low.
