Dear DiaryToday, I have designated Edward Courtenay as my future consort. However, I have decided to delay our marriage by a year to ensure that it does not take place too soon after my father's passing. Additionally, I have implemented a law stating that the heir of the kingdom's consort shall carry the heir's last name, regardless of their own surname. This ensures that my family will always have a Tudor ruler on the throne of England.


Moreover, my cousin Charles wrote a letter to me expressing his condolences over my father's passing and wishing me well as the new queen of England. While I appreciate his letter, I cannot help but question its sincerity given that I have only met him once.


Furthermore, Edward's mother, Gertrude, has written to my mother requesting that Edward be brought to court so that we may get to know each other better and he may become accustomed to court life as a prince consort.
