Windslar Palace Part 1: King Edmund IX's Wing

Windslar Palace, situated eighteen miles away from the city of Windenburg, has stood as a symbol of royalty for nearly six centuries. Once the favored summer retreat of the Royal Family, the palace served not merely as a seasonal residence but as the heart of the monarchy for generations. Though it no longer serves its original function, Windslar Palace remains a monument to the monarchy's legacy.

In 1755, King Edmund IX commissioned the construction of a new wing at Windslar Palace to accommodate his expanding family. The newly built addition, later known as the King Edmund IX Wing, featured a series of elegant apartments on the ground floor, designed specifically for his beloved consort, Queen Odette, and their seven children. Edmund's presence in Odette's bedchambers every night was highly unusual for the time, but a testament to their close and loving relationship with one another.

Following Edmund’s death, his son and successor, King George I, continued to reside with his mother in her apartments, but later moved out after his marriage. Queen Odette remained in these rooms until 1810, when she retired permanently to her country residence, Queen’s Lodge.

After George’s marriage to Princess Josephine of Corrilea (@theroyalsofcorrilea), the new Queen Consort took up residence in the north block of the Edmund IX Wing. She redecorated her apartments with opulence and flair, most notably adorning her drawing room with elaborate chinoiserie wallpaper. A devoted and overbearing mother, Josephine transformed that same drawing room into a bedroom to remain close to her only child, the sickly and kind Princess Margaret. Margaret spent most of her short life at Windslar Palace, and Josephine remained in her apartments until she died in 1826.

In 1817, Queen Odette’s former suite was occupied by Princess Caroline Sophie, Dowager Duchess of Rochester (@simming-in-the-rain), following the accession of her son, King George II. Caroline Sophie, regarded as ambitious and calculating, viewed her move into Odette’s apartments as a symbol of her elevated status as mother to the monarch. She redecorated much of the suite with furnishings brought from her previous residence at Hertford Castle and removed paintings of Odette. That same year, her favored sister-in-law, Princess Elizabeth, was installed in adjacent rooms.

Tragedy struck when King George II died in 1818, and was succeeded by his younger brother, King Edmund XI, who would reign briefly before he died in 1821. The crown then passed to Caroline Sophie’s daughter, Queen Mary II. Mary’s relationship with her mother had always been distant, complicated by Caroline Sophie’s preference for her sons and disapproval of Mary’s 1820 marriage to Charles Statford, 10th Earl of Statford. Upon ascending the throne, Queen Mary II ordered her mother’s eviction from Windslar Palace entirely.

Mary chose not to inhabit the Edmund IX Wing. Instead, she made her home in the apartments once occupied by Queen Sophie (formerly Princess Sophie of Dresden) in the King Joseph IV Wing. The ground-floor suites of the Edmund IX Wing were converted into guest accommodations for visiting royals and foreign dignitaries, while the upper floors became the private quarters for Mary’s eight children. These rooms, sometimes used by the Royal Family, remain largely closed to the public today.

In later years, Mary’s daughter, Princess Charlotte, was in charge of the restoration of the ground-floor apartments, returning many of Queen Odette’s original furnishings. Today, these historic rooms form part of the Windslar Palace Museum, and share a glimpse into the lives of Queen Odette and her family.

Was there something going on between Elizabeth and queen Mary's mom?

Nope! They just had a very close friendship. Queen Mary's mom, Caroline Sophie, hated EVERYONE in the royal family, for the most part, besides Elizabeth. Caroline Sophie and Octavius were pushed into marriage, and Elizabeth sympathized with Caroline Sophie's position. They had a very close friendship with one another and would remain platonic companions until they died. After Caroline Sophie was evicted from Windslar, Elizabeth welcomed her to her country estate, Honey House, where the pair would live until they died. BUT Elizabeth had an affair with a different sister-in-law, Princess Augusta of Platz-Simmern, the wife of her brother, Edmund.

Princess Charlotte, Princess Peter Tarłowiecki

Princess Charlotte was born on June 11th, 1832, at San Myshuno Palace. She was the fourth daughter and fifth child of Queen Mary II and Prince Charles, 10th Earl of Statford. Charlotte's birth was warmly welcomed by the Queen and Prince Charles, who had given birth to a male heir four years prior. The Queen had previously been disappointed by the birth of her first three daughters, but with the birth of Charlotte, she was delighted. She was christened on July 1st, Charlotte Amelia Caroline, in the San Myshuno Palace Chapel. She was named Charlotte after her mother's beloved cousin, Princess Charlotte of Burgundy, Queen Consort of Norden. The name Amelia was chosen in honor of Mary's aunt, Queen Amelia of Trenton. And finally, Caroline, after the Queen's mother, the Dowager Duchess of Rochester. Her godmothers included her three namesakes alongside King Ludwig II of Norden, Louis Statford, 1st Earl of Blythe, and Prince Frederick of Holstein.

Charlotte’s upbringing was divided among the royal residences of San Myshuno Palace, Glencraig Castle, Windslar Palace, and Statford Castle. Prince Charles took an active role in the education of his children, designing a rigorous curriculum grounded in arithmetic and scientific studies. Charlotte proved intellectually gifted, with a special talent for painting and sculpture. She later pursued formal instruction at the Platz Institute in Windenburg, eventually establishing a private studio at San Myshuno Palace, where she continued to work throughout her life.

She shared a close bond with her brothers, Charles, Prince of the Isle, and Prince Edward. Meanwhile, her relationship with her older sisters, Odette, Ophelia, and Anne, was marked by tension and rivalry. Much of this stemmed from Charlotte’s favored status with their mother, who admired her daughter’s intellect and sensitivity. The death of Prince Charles in 1847 was a devastating blow to the royal family. Queen Mary, shattered by grief, withdrew from public life and retreated to Glencraig Castle for the next few years. Her sorrow cast a long shadow over the household, and Charlotte, then just fifteen, became her mother’s principal companion and private secretary.

This new role came at a personal cost. Charlotte’s own ambitions as an artist were put on hold, and her social freedom was heavily curtailed. A discreet romance with her father’s former secretary, Sir Alexander Grant, ended abruptly when Queen Mary discovered the affair and exiled him to Victoria. Isolated and yearning for independence, Charlotte sought her grandmother, Caroline, Dowager Duchess of Rochester (@simming-in-the-rain), who arranged a meeting with her great-nephew, Prince Peter Tarłowiecki. The pair met in 1851, and after several weeks of secret correspondence, Charlotte accepted Peter’s proposal.

When the engagement was announced, Queen Mary was enraged and refused to speak to her daughter for six months. Reconciliation, brokered by Ophelia, Odette, and the Dowager Duchess, came with strict conditions: Charlotte was permitted to marry only if she remained in Windenburg and continued to live with the Queen for most of the year. Peter, whose ambitions on the continent had diminished, accepted the terms. On September 28, 1851, Charlotte and Peter were wed in an intimate ceremony at St. Andrew’s Chapel in Glencraig Castle, attended by just fifty guests.

Following their marriage, Charlotte and Peter were granted apartments at San Myshuno Palace and an annual parliamentary allowance of 13,000 simoleons. Charlotte received a dowry of 100,000 simoleons and a personal trust of 140,000 simoleons, with an additional 5,000 simoleons per annum from the Queen’s personal estate. The couple adhered to Queen Mary’s seasonal itinerary: winters at Verdun Palace, spring at San Myshuno, summers at Windslar, and autumns at Glencraig. Charlotte resumed her role in the Queen’s household and also undertook royal duties, most notably as Patron of the Historical Society of Windenburg. Prince Peter pursued a military career, becoming a lieutenant in 1855 and rising to the rank of general by 1871. He held numerous ceremonial roles, including Ranger of Glencraig Park and Colonel-in-Chief of the Royal South Witham Infantry.

Peter and Charlotte had five children together: Princess Cecelia Tarłowiecki, Princess Theodora Tarłowiecki, Prince Paul Tarłowiecki, Prince Anthony Tarłowiecki, and Prince Dominik Tarłowiecki. Queen Mary elevated her grandchildren from the style of Serene Highness to Highness as part of her birthday honors in 1865. She also elevated Peter from Serene Highness to Royal Highness. Mary became extremely close to Charlotte's children, who viewed the Queen as a second mother.

Tragedy struck the family in 1874, when a typhoid outbreak claimed the lives of Cecelia, who was recently engaged to the Crown Prince of Brichester, and young Prince Dominik, aged eleven. The loss left Charlotte inconsolable. In her grief, she returned to art, reestablishing her studio and producing a series of watercolors. Her artistic revival coincided with public honors; in 1878, she was appointed Chancellor of the Platz Institute, becoming the first woman to hold such a title. Though the position was largely ceremonial, Charlotte took it seriously and used it to promote women's education and artistic achievement.

Upon Queen Mary’s death in 1885, the throne passed to Princess Alexandra, Charlotte’s niece and the eldest daughter of her late brother Charles. Though she retained her status and influence at court, Charlotte chose to retire from public life, relocating to Windslar Palace and Sulani House in Windenburg City. There, she dedicated herself to cultural preservation, founding the Windenburg Historical Preservation Society in 1903 and publishing a celebrated biography of her mother in 1908.

Charlotte maintained strong ties with her surviving children, particularly Theodora, who often brought her own children to visit every summer. Her grandchildren included Princess Elizabeth and Princess Elliana of Tirana, both of whom later married into the Beloshov Imperial Family, becoming Grand Duchesses. Charlotte’s son, Prince Anthony, married her niece and namesake, Princess Charlotte “Lottie” of the Isle. As the brother-in-law to the Queen, Prince Anthony became one of the most prominent members of the royal family during her reign.

Princess Charlotte died peacefully in her sleep at Windslar Palace in 1918. Her funeral at St. Michael’s Cathedral was attended by the entire Royal Family, and she was laid to rest beside her parents at the Royal Burial Ground of Statford Castle. Her husband, Prince Peter, died the following year. At the time of her death, Charlotte’s personal estate was valued at 370,000 simoleons (equivalent to 26.8 million today).

Charlotte and Peter had five children:

Princess Cecelia Mary Gisela Tarłowiecki (1852-1874), died from typhoid fever.

Princess Theodora Helena Karoline Tarłowiecki (1854-1948), married to Prince Tomislav of Tirana, had four daughters.

Prince Paul Alexander Karl Tarłowiecki (1856-1936), married to Princess Eloise of Zerbst, no issue.

Prince Anthony Frederick Peter (1859-1952), married to Princess Charlotte of the Isle, had one son and one daughter.

Prince Dominik Johann Augustus (1863-1874), died young from typhoid fever.

A royal rebel with a couture heart — Princess Margaret’s 1950s style was the height of mid-century glamour. A muse to Dior and a masterclass in modern royal dressing, she embraced New Look silhouettes with a defiant edge and took London society by storm. Whether dazzling at state banquets or lighting up soirées, her style was never just royal, it was revolutionary. Margaret danced between duty and decadence with enviable elegance, leaving behind a wardrobe legacy that still inspires seventy years later. From her sweeping ballgowns to her wasp-waisted, petite frame, Queen Elizabeth’s younger sister redefined what it meant to dress like a princess long before Diana entered the scene.

The Royal Family (1767)

This posthumous painting was painted in 1767 after the tragic death of King Edmund IX. When Edmund died, Queen Odette was pregnant with their last child, Princess Amelia, who is being held in the painting by her mother. Odette and Edmund cherished their time with their family and cultivated the image of a perfect family throughout his reign. Odette was viewed as a mother of the nation, an image which would continue to grow after the death of her husband with her proclamation as regent to their young son, George I. Odette was an attentive and loving mother to her children, but became a fierce politician. During her son's reign, Odette was widely regarded as the true power behind the throne. Her inexperienced son was too focused on high society and his circle of friends, even after the regency ended. Odette had a close relationship with all of her children, but especially her eldest sons, George and Edmund. George and Edmund shared a rivalry with one another, mostly based on the fact that George had resented the throne while Edmund yearned for it. George's wife, Josephine of Corrilea (@theroyalsofcorrilea), was a frivolous spender who detested the etiquette of court life. Josephine's scandals overshadowed George's reign and caused their marriage to break down rapidly. After the death of George and Josephine's only daughter, Princess Margaret, in 1794, a succession crisis emerged. None of Odette's other sons had living children, and it became increasingly likely that the thrones of Windenburg & San Myshuno could pass to her daughter, Elliana, who had married a foreign king. Elliana was beautiful and kind, but also intelligent and calculating. She had raised her children in Windenburg in the hopes that they could someday inherit the throne, but when her husband unexpectedly inherited the throne of Esha (@crownsofesha), she was forced to leave her country. Odette quickly arranged the marriages of her sons, Octavius and Frederick. Octavius was hastily married to Princess Karoline of Kraneberg (@simming-in-the-rain), while Frederick was married to Princess Christina Amalia of Dresden. Octavius and Frederick entered wildly unhappy marriages, which they blamed on Odette. Octavius was a gambler and enjoyed entertaining at his residence in Windenburg, Hertford Castle, while Karoline was deeply religious and disapproved of her husband's behavior. Frederick and Christina suffered through multiple miscarriages, which drove the couple apart, until the birth of their daughter, Charlotte, in 1803. However, Christina's sudden death two years later would forever haunt Frederick. Odette's daughter, Elizabeth, was extremely popular at court and was known for her wit and humor. Elizabeth attracted many suitors, but never married as she never wanted to leave her mother's side. It was rumored that Elizabeth and her brother Edmund's wife, Princess Augusta, had an affair between 1785-1798. The pair wrote many passionate letters and were almost always in each other's company. Augusta's final miscarriage in 1798 drove the couple apart, and her death later that year destroyed Elizabeth. Odette's beloved youngest daughter, Amelia, was one of the greatest joys of her life. Perhaps her favorite child, Odette, spent much more time with Amelia than her other children. Odette was overcompensating for the fact that Amelia had never known her father. Odette always wanted Amelia to stay with her and Elizabeth in Windenburg; however, George arranged the marriage of Amelia to King Edaric I of Trenton (@trentonsimblr). Amelia and Edaric had met during their courtship and fell in love with one another. Amelia was the only one of her siblings to have a happy marriage. Although the family would never see Amelia ever again, Odette kept a lengthy correspondence with her and had immense influence on her life.

Odette of Brichester, Queen Consort of Windenburg & San Myshuno (1735-1829)

Born into the Brichester princely family, Odette lived a privileged childhood until 1740 when her parents tragically died. Odette was left in the care of her grandmother, the Dowager Princess Serena, who ruled the principality as regent for her brother, Prince Hendrik. The principality suffered devastating blows after entering a war with Tartosa, who invaded the city and held the royal family captive. The atrocities the people of Brichester faced during the city's occupation scarred Odette for life. Several of Odette's family members died during their time in captivity, including two of her older brothers and her favorite sister, Amalia. After seven years of occupation, the city was liberated by Windenburg in 1749. To cement the newfound alliance, Odette was offered by her family as a bride to the Prince of the Isle, the heir to the throne of Windenburg. Odette wasn't married off until 1751, when she turned 16 years old. Despite only meeting her husband, Edmund, on their wedding day, the two fell deeply in love with one another. The couple would go on to have 7 children during their 16-year marriage. Their children included King George I, King Edmund X, Princess Elliana, Queen Consort of Esha (@crownsofesha), Prince Octavius, Duke of Rochester, Prince Frederick, Duke of Burgundy, Princess Elizabeth, and Princess Amelia, Queen Consort of Trenton (@trentonsimblr). Odette and Edmund cultivated a perfect family life, preferring to spend time in the country away from the eyes of the court. The royal couple projected an image of a family life that was relatable to their subjects.

Odette's husband, Edmund, tragically died in 1767 after falling off his horse and hitting his head on a sharp rock. He swiftly died an hour after his fall. Odette set her grief aside and quickly took control of the regency for her young son, George, who was 14 years old. Odette's four years as regent marked an era of economic prosperity, earning her place as one of the most beloved regents in history. After the regency ended, Odette's life was marked by family tragedy and drama. The amoral lives of her sons and their production of several illegitimate offspring throughout the 1770s and 1780s tarnished the royal family's image as a "perfect family." Odette saved her reputation in the 1790s by arranging the marriage of her three younger sons to foreign princesses. Odette's prominent and domineering role in her children's lives came between her sons and their wives. In the last few decades of her life, her role as the matriarch of the family diminished. Odette retired to the countryside, living at the Queen's Lodge, which her beloved husband Edmund had gifted her. Odette died in 1829, at the Queen's Lodge, in the presence of her granddaughter, the reigning Queen Mary II. Odette outlived her sons George, Edmund, and Octavius. Odette is remembered as the most important queen consort from the House of Wittenberg, due to her large role in Windenburg politics before and after her husband's reign.

Were any of Odette's remaining own children at her deathbed beside Mary? Otherwise what was their relationship like for her to be there but not them, were they close?

Odette’s daughters Elliana and Amelia were married to foreign monarchs so they were not in Windenberg by the time she died. Her son Frederick was bedridden as well and died a few months later. Her daughter Elizabeth was with Odette when she died, but I only mentioned Mary to highlight their relationship because I don’t think I’ve ever mentioned it before.

How long was Odette Queen Consort…it’s mentioned that she married her husband at 16 when he was Prince of the Isle and they only had a 14 year marriage but when (and under what circumstances) did he ascend the throne?

When Odette was initially engaged to her husband, Edmund, he was Prince of the Isle, but during their engagement, his father died from smallpox, and he became king. Also, I accidentally made a typo; they were married for 16 years, so Odette was queen consort for 16 years.

Her husband, Edmund, had succeeded his father (also named Edmund). Edmund was 17 years old when his dad died, but there was no one in his life capable of being regent, so they just let him rule without one. His mother, Leilani, died when he was a kid, and he only had younger brothers, so basically there were no capable of being regent around him. His prime minister didn't really push it either, and just took advantage of his young age and basically governed the country without him during his teenage years.

Based on when they were married in 1751, and when he died in 1767, that’s 16 years of marriage and not 14 if i’m not mistaken.

oop! you're right, just edited the post lol, thanks anon!
