TNGF
SELECTED
Princess Elizabeth
primary
A young woman of 25, with a slender yet poised build, fair complexion, and piercing blue eyes that reflect both her royal lineage and current grief. Her features are delicate yet strong, with a regal bearing that belies her youth.
Royal Physician
primary
A distinguished man in his late 50s, with a lean build and silver-streaked hair combed back neatly. His sharp, observant eyes are framed by wire-rimmed spectacles, and his face bears the lines of a lifetime of service. His hands, though aged, are steady and precise, accustomed to both the delicate art of medicine and the weight of delivering grave news.
Lady-in-Waiting
secondary
A composed woman in her early 40s, with a slender yet sturdy build, her dark brown hair neatly pinned in a conservative chignon. Her pale complexion shows subtle signs of fatigue, with faint shadows under her hazel eyes from the long night vigil.
King George VI
background
A pale, middle-aged man with a slender build and delicate features, lying motionless in bed. His face shows traces of the stress and illness that plagued his final years, with deep lines around his eyes and mouth. His thinning hair is neatly combed, and his hands are folded peacefully over his chest.
Dialog
Royal Physician
Your Royal Highness, it is my solemn duty to inform you that His Majesty King George VI has passed peacefully in his sleep.
Princess Elizabeth
I... see. Thank you, Doctor. Was he... was there any pain?
Royal Physician
None whatsoever, Ma'am. His final moments were as gentle as the man himself.
Princess Elizabeth
Then we must thank God for that small mercy. The Prime Minister... he must be notified at once.
Royal Physician
The household has already taken the liberty, Ma'am. The machinery of state, as it were...
Princess Elizabeth
Yes. Of course. There will be... so much to do.
Royal Physician
If I may, Your Majesty... the first and greatest duty is to allow yourself this moment.
