16.06.2026 A successful day to say the least. King Jonas attended the G7 summit in Kananaskis, Alberta, Canada. Jonas met privately with the President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, and French President Emmanuel Macron, followed by a constructive meeting with U.S. President Trump. I was amazed, surprised, and relieved about the amount of security at the summit.…

14.06.2026 This evening, King Jonas and I left for Canada to attend the G7 summit in Kananaskis, Alberta. The King will be representing Dorstenland as a guest nation. The summit begins Jonas’s first foreign travel since the death of Queen Claudia and the attempted coup of our monarchy. My anxiety and stress levels are high. My workload increased dramatically as…

13.06.2026 I was planning to spend today with Otto and Emma, but it appears that I have become a backseat to their social lives. At their age, I completely understand their independence. This morning, I sent a text to Jonas asking what his plans were for the day. I only keep a schedule of his royal duties. Ironically, Jonas intended…

11.06.2026 I love this picture of King Jonas and me in front of his castle. The setting was not suggested by the photographer or by me, but at Jonas’s insistence. Before we began our workday, Jonas gave me a present and asked me to unwrap it. Inside was a framed picture of the two of us that he asked me…

09.06.2026 What an exciting day for all the people of Dorstenland. Jonas officiated the prime minister’s oath of office ceremony for Sabine Keller, as the first female Ministerpräsidentin des Königreichs Dorstenland. Following the ceremony, the King gave his ceremonial speech to parliament and the citizens of our nation. I met Sabine years ago while she was Dorstenland’s ambassador to Singapore.…

08.06.2026 I woke up this morning dreading the outcome of the election of our new prime minister to represent Parlament von Dorstenland. Our nation suffered deeply when Prime Minister Hans Northcott attempted last year to overthrow King Jonas and the monarchy. Northcott influenced his political party, Neu Christlich Demokratische Partei Dorstenlands, to do his bidding in parliament and in a…

07.06.2026 I joined Jonas today to help during one of his personal community projects. The King’s way of relaxing is his favorite past-time; construction projects for the needy. A recently closed boy’s preparatory is under renovation to house low-income senior citizens in Feldkirch, Eberbach. Jonas turned down the project’s board of director’s idea of having the home named after the…

06.06.2026 Today was brilliant! Otto, Emma, and I accompanied the King and his four children, Princess Emily, Prince Boris, Princess Sophie, and Princess Tatiana to the 2026 Pride Festival in Eberbach. I was humbled by the excitement, community, and acceptance of those who took part and attended the festival. Bands from Prague to Ireland to Oregon in the USA, performed…

04.06.2026 As I stare out of my study’s window at the beautiful architecture on the hill, I ponder the question, “Is it a castle or a palace?” I guess in today’s time, one would refer to King Jonas’s home as a palace. However, based on the structure alone, I would say the King lives in a castle. Perhaps my thoughts…
