You’d been completely avoiding your stress that had been building up in the days leading up to your and George’s coronation. Everything had been moving so fast you had not even had the time to process all that had been happening.
Between moving to a new country, leaving your family and having to adjust to the royal way of life, you had not even had a moment alone in the past 7 days.
You realized as your ladies in waiting were preparing you for breakfast on Coronation Day that you were quite nervous. You’d battled with panic attacks since your childhood and today was certainly not a good day to have one.
Never the less, you tried your best to chat with Brimsley as you ate breakfast to distract yourself.
“What did you say the color scheme was for today Brimsley,” you asked. You could feel your hands beginning to shake, the first sign of an attack.
“Gold and red, your majesty. It is to match the crowns.”
You intended on replying to Brimsley but had to put your cutlery down as you were beginning to feel quite ill. At that moment, George and Reynolds also joined you in the room.
“Your majesty are you quite alright,” Brimsley asked you.
“I’m quite well Brimsley thank you.” George answered him unaware.
You brought your hand to your chest, feeling as though there was no air going to your lungs. You were feeling an overwhelming pain in your chest.
“Y/N…my love what is wrong,” George asked frantically, kneeled down to your level where you were sat. Your vision was more blurred that usual and his voice sounded far away.
Your heart was beating a million miles an hour and you felt like you were about to faint at any moment.
Your head was pounding and you felt like you were spiraling out of control.
Your breath came in short wheezes as the nerves that had been building in you overtook your body.
“YN your alright we’re all here with you.” You heard George say. He’d taken your trembling hand and interlocked it with his. His other hand stroking your cheek soothingly.
You could hear whispering around you discussing a doctor. “N-no doctor.” You choked out. You could hear some shuffling around you, what you assumed was most of the guards leaving you, George, Brimsley and Reynolds in private.
Eventually your vision cleared slightly, although your attack had not yet run its course.
George tucked a piece of hair behind your ear. “Darling, I need you to take some deep breaths. Can you do that for me?.”
You began your best effort to take deep breaths along with George and eventually they became easier.
“George…I cannot do this. I cannot- I do not have it in me to rule a country.” You began to cry, your whole body still shaking.
“You can Y/N. You are so strong, we’re in this together. You and me.”
“Yes,” you let out a shaky breath.
A few minutes of deep breaths and George’s continued encouragement and you were starting to feel better.
“George, I am so sorry-.”
“Do not apologize Y/N. You have nothing to be sorry for.”
“Does her majesty require assistance of any kind? A doctor or perhaps a glass a water.” Brimsley asked.
“A doctor will not be needed although a glass of water would be splendid thank you Brimsley.”
“My love, as you sure you are quite alright,” George asked.
“Yes George, I am feeling well.” You smiled.
The coronation was able to go ahead as planned and George was very supportive throughout the day.
That was the day that you knew you and George would have a very happy marriage together.
