(As B2 chooses to Role-play his part as King of france, in the spirit of the Game I will here do so likewise, however to those of you choosing not to follow suit please just send any response in ordinary language. Peter ) To, the legitimate Monarchs of Europe. From, the Earl of Evenwood; 1st Minister & Foreign Secretary to his Majesty King George III. Despite being politely advised against it by his Majesty in his very 1st communication (see attached copy below), Louis Bourbon, styled King of France has continually bombarded King George with French plans for the division of Europe, the main gist of which seems to be, protection of French trading interests in Poland, the partition of Denmark and French support for a strong British presence in Germany. The unfortunate impression gained by His Majesties Government therefore is that you as Sovereign Monarchs of you nations have abdicated the guidance of your countries Foreign policy to the Court at Versailles; this of course, whilst in the opinion of this Government somewhat Foolhardy, is your prerogative. However, I would suggest to you all that given Englands longstanding wealth of experience with French duplicity this may not be the wisest course of action, and would add that as King Georges Prime Minister I could never countenance the partition of Europe according to the fickle whims of said Louis Bourbon and the French court. I respectfully recommend therefore that if any of you do wish to discuss matters appertaining to your Nations interests, you contact myself rather than leave matters to the dubious arbitration of the French Court. I remain your obedient Servant. Evenwood. 1st Minister & Foreign Secretary to King George III =================================== To Louis Bourbon, self styled King of the French Sir, I fear I am unable to answer your questions with regard to English Foreign policy as that is the business of my Ministers. The newly appointed 1st Minister is the Earl of Evenwood and you should therefore address any such enquiries to him; I would however be mightily surprised should he think to disclose Privy Council matters for their widespread discussion abroad. But your enquiry does bring to my mind something I would l rather like to see on behalf of my dear wife Charlotte and that is the joining of her homeland to our possessions abroad, a fitting gift I feel to a faithful & treasured companion so my thanks for bringing it to my attention, I shall raise the matter with my Ministers in the near future. I do feel somewhat obliged to advise you of the outrage caused amongst my Household Secretariat at your form of address to myself, they do assure me that the correct form of addressing a reigning monarch is “Your Majesty”, “Royal Highness” being for the offsprings of a Royal house, however it is of no great matter to myself I can assure you. I trust this missive finds you in Good health and that the revolts in France we have been hearing about at our Court are but a passing thing. George R
