Last night, Her Imperial Highness, The Princess Melita Bonaparte became the first non-reigning Monarch-in-waiting, to be honoured by a non-commissioned portrait of her likeness. It was all done via telepathy, as neither the Princess nor the artist had ever met. When H.I.H was presented by her page with the newspaper announcement of this special art event, she was immediately struck by the uncanny Imperial resemblance. “I ordered my page to get the driver immediately. I had to attend”
“There are no accidents, except freak accidents; and they are the only ones that interest me,” informed the Princess. “When I saw this freak accident posted via the press, I knew I had to come & see myself as others see me. It seemed to me to be the opportunity of a lifetime, too good to pass up.”
“When I saw this, I knew that I was chosen to be the vessel of Restoration for the Greek Monarchy. There was no longer any question in my mind, this is an authentic miracle, one that will be proven by the Holy Orthodox & Catholic Church”–Melita Bonaparte
“Of course, given my inclinations, I was, indeed, tempted by my lifelong love of authentic horror to be drawn to the article immediately below. But Sanctified, as all Royalty is, I was Divinely guided to make the Right Choice, the only choice I could possibly make. Out of duty to my people, I appeared, and horror merged with art, and we were one. It was the happiest evening of my life. Only the Rite (and my right) of Holy Coronation, could be any better.”
“When choosing between two evils, I always like to try the one I’ve never tried before.”–Mae West
