Epilogue:
Ex-Boyfriend of Princess Jailed for Revenge Porn.
Felix Romano, ex-boyfriend of Princess Bella was sentenced to six months in prison, with twelve on suspension today for the private photographs he leaked of the Princess to the press four months ago. Her Royal Highness had to testify at the trial, as Romano pled not guilty. The jury only took two hours to find Romano not only guilty of revenge porn, but also of harassment, and also on charges against the Computer Misuse Act.
Romano has been ordered to give £10,000 in compensation to the Princess, who has said that all of the money will be donated to charities which help other people who have been victims revenge porn crimes.

"Bella." Edward comes to stand in front of me and places his hands on my arms to slow down my pacing. "It's like watching a tennis match with all of your pacing." he smirks. "It's going to be okay."
"You don't know that, and this is helping so just leave me be." I shake him off me and continuing pacing.
He sighs but moves to go and sit back down on the sofa. I feel bad for snapping at him like that, but I don't honestly know how he expects me to feel. I need this to go well.
Today is the first day the Jury on Felix's court case are deliberating. This case has been in court for the last two weeks, and I've had to testify against him. I refused to actually be seen in court so the whole thing was done via video link from the Palace. It's probably been the most stressful two weeks of my life, well, since the pictures were released anyway.
I can feel Edward watching me as I continue to pace the living room, but unless he wants to get his head bitten off again he knows not to say anything else. He only worries about me and I appreciate that, but if I don't do this, I'll only end up having a panic attack. Suddenly I feel that maybe I'll do better if I go and sit with him, so I stop pacing and go to sit down on the sofa. He puts his arm around my shoulders and I lean my head on him.
"I'm sorry," I sigh. "I'm just scared."
He kisses my forehead. "I know."
The silence in the room is broken by Riley's phone ringing and it makes me jump. After recovering from the shock I look at Edward, who is watching and listening to what Riley is saying. I'm too afraid to pay much attention to him.
Riley finishes his phone call and Edward stands up. "Well?"
I stand up from the sofa and Riley comes to stand in front of me. "They have finished already."
My eyebrows jump up to my hairline. "Already?! It's only been a couple of hours."
Riley nods. "Bella?" He grins and my heart starts to beat faster. "They found him guilty."
I gasp and a sob breaks out of me and I turn to look at Edward who smiles at me. "It's really over?"
He nods. I throw myself into his arms and start to cry in earnest. "It's really over."
"I hope those are happy tears."
I pull back and look up at him. "Of course! I just… I can't believe that it's really over!"
Edward grins, and leans down to kiss me. "I love you."
"I love you too." I lean back into his embrace, feeling happier than I have done in months.
Princess Bella and new beau Edward Cullen spotted together at friend's wedding.
Six months after photographs of the Princess were leaked to the press, she has been spotted with a new beau.
Edward Cullen, who is the son of Senator Carlisle Cullen, is a twenty-eight year old music teacher from Pennsylvania.
Her Royal Highness and Mr Cullen were spotted in London this weekend at the wedding of one the Princess' school friends. The Princess and Mr Cullen appeared to be very happy together, and sources have reported there was even some PDA.
Could a whirlwind Royal Wedding be on the cards?

Princess Bella and Mr Cullen adopt pair of kittens from Battersea Dogs and Cats Home.
Her Royal Highness is the Patron of the Charity that rescues and rehomes unwanted and stray dogs and cats of London and went to go and adopt her own kittens today. She was accompanied to the centre by her boyfriend, Mr. Edward Cullen.
HRH was shown around the main centre in Battersea, and met members of staff and many of the animals that are looking for homes. The kittens that HRH is adopting are two siblings from a litter that were recently found abandoned by the River Thames.
Adopting pets together is a big step in a relationship… could there be a proposal on the horizon?
xoxox
It's late in the evening when I eventually get home from a charity event for Battersea. I exit the car I've been driven home in and say goodbye to the driver. I walk in the front door and notice that most of the lights appear to be off, and I'm immediately confused because I didn't realise Edward was going out… unless he's already gone to sleep.
"Meow!"
"Hi, Rose!" I walk towards the Maine Coon, scooping her into my arms and she starts to purr. "Oh, I've missed you this evening my sweet girl!" Rose rubs her face against my cheek and I feel something that feels like paper scratch against my neck.
"What the?" I pull her back to find the source of the scratching, and see a note tucked inside her collar. Rose tries to wiggle her way back into my embrace so I pluck the paper out and let her settle against my shoulder whilst I pull it out to read.
Please go and find Jasper. He has something else for you to see.
I frown as I read the note, wondering what on earth Edward is up too. I put Rose down on the floor, and walk off in search of Jasper.
"Jasper!"
Rose meows loudly at me as I walk off calling her brother, instead of paying attention to her. I walk up the stairs still calling his name, and wander into my main sitting room which is softly illuminated.
"Meow!" Jasper starts winding his way around my legs and I bend down to pick him up.
"Hi Jazz! I've been told to come and find you… what have you got to tell me, huh?"
Jasper is purring loudly as I'm talking to him, and all of a sudden a spark of light catches my attention and I look down at Jasper's collar.
"No…" I gulp and then pluck the ring from the collar, turning it round in my fingers. It takes a couple of seconds but then I notice that this is my mother's engagement ring.
"Bella?" I turn around and stare at Edward standing in the sitting room. He smiles widely at me and walks towards me. I put Jasper down on the floor, and much like his sister he is instantly annoyed, but I'm far too focused on the man in front of me to care.
"What are you doing?" I whisper, as if talking too loudly will break the atmosphere.
Edward takes the ring from my fingers and goes down onto one knee and I gasp.
"Edward…"
"Ssssh. I have something I want to say."
I look to the side and find both Jasper and Rose sat down next to Edward as if they have been expecting this, and I want to laugh but tears start falling down my face.
"Bella. The last eight months have been the most incredible of my entire life, and I am so grateful that you were sent to America, that we were able to get to know one another, and that I could fall in love with you. I want to spend the rest of my life with you, and I promise to love you every single day of forever. So, Princess," He smirks. "Will you do the extreme honour of marrying me?"
I smile blindingly at him, and get down on my knees in front of him. "Yes."
He grins at me and places the ring on my left hand, and leans forward to kiss me.
"Meow!" Jasper and Rose say in unison, and we laugh.
"I think they approve." Edward winks at me and I kiss him again.
"I love you so much."
"I love you too."
I hold up my left hand to investigate the ring and look back to Edward. "How did you get this?"
He kisses my forehead and winds our fingers together. "When I went to go and see your Father to ask for his blessing, he left the room without saying anything to me and I thought that I was being dismissed. But then he came back into the room with the ring, and said I could give it to you."
I kiss his lips, and then shake my head a little. "I always wanted it, but never imagined I'd actually get it." I smirk. "He must really like you."
Edward laughs and then kisses me soundly, and we don't talk for the rest of the night.

Thank you for joining me on this journey today. I hope you've enjoyed it!
April, I hope you enjoyed this (I was worried to write for you, because you are an amazingly talented author!)... even if it wasn't very long, and that I did your prompts justice. You've certainly given me the writing bug again!
I have very much enjoyed writing about Princess Isabella and (future) Prince Edward! You might see them again in the future...! *wink*
Once again, thank you to Nicole my beta, my pre-readers, Amy and Gemma and Kayla for being my cheerleader. You girls rock my socks.
