“What’s he saying now?” I asked.

“What is who saying?” Ellie replied, looking at her phone.

“I know you’re talking to George. I saw his name pop up on your phone.”

“Well you won’t reply to any of his messages.”

“I don’t know what to say.”

I didn’t trust myself with my phone. If I replied to his messages, I’d take out my anger on George and I knew that wasn’t a good idea. It wasn’t his fault, but every time I thought about those pictures, I blamed George.

If I’d never met him, I wouldn’t be in this mess. Those pictures wouldn’t be out there, and I wouldn’t be the laughing stock of the entire world.

But I’d still be miserable. I’d still be working in a café and destined to return home to America where I’d betrayed all my friends and family. And I’d be without George.

“He just wants to know you’re okay,” Ellie said. “He feels awful about all this.”

“So he should. He told me it was all sorted, and suddenly my… everything is all over the internet.”

“It’s not his fault.”

“I know. I fucking know. I just… ugh, this whole thing sucks.”

“Yeah, I’m with you on that one. You’re welcome to stay here as long as you like, by the way.”

“Thanks, but it’s not like there’s a lot of space in here. The last thing I need is a story about sharing a single bed with a woman to go around.”

“Fair point. I do think it would be best to get back to normality as soon as possible.”

I’d already tried that. I’d gone to class this morning as if I weren’t married to a prince, and look how that had turned out. I wasn’t destined to have a simple life. I got engaged to my childhood sweetheart and he turned out to be a cheating asshole. The next guy I meet ends up being a prince, and suddenly my tits are all over the Internet.

To think, I’d been quite boring as a teenager. I’d dreamed about having an exciting life.

What I wouldn’t give to be boring now.

“George is going on television,” Ellie said suddenly, staring at her phone. “It’s going to be on BBC One in thirty minutes.”

“Oh God,” I muttered. “This is going to be bad.”

“You don’t know that. He’s going to stick up for you.”

“I don’t think so. Harry will have told him he needs to distance himself from me. That’s the only way he can be a prince and do some good.”

“Even if he does, he won’t mean it. Not in his heart.”

“I don’t know about that,” I replied.

“Well I do. You only have to see the way he looks at you.”

“That’s—”

“It’s not just a show for the cameras,” Ellie interrupted. “And it’s not just him going along with the plan. He likes you. A lot. And you like him as well.”

“I guess we’ll see.”

“You don’t have to watch it.”

“Yes, I do.”

“Okay, well in that case, you’re going to need a cup of tea.”

George looked worse than I did. He clearly hadn’t let anyone put any makeup on him, judging by the bags under his eyes, and he hadn’t shaved in at least two days. Harry must be sleeping on the job to let George go on the air like that.

The interview was being broadcast live, and the lack of preparation was evident. The cameras started broadcasting while George and the host were still being mic'd up. I recognized the interviewer from one of the breakfast shows—Kimberly I think. She was frantically reading through notes on a piece of paper, probably trying to memorize the questions she planned to ask.

There wouldn’t be much in the way of pleasantries. This interview was interrupting planned programming which meant it was important. The BBC was about to reveal some big news about the prince and his wife. Or would that be ex-wife?

“Want another cup of tea?” Ellie asked.

“I’m still on this one.”

“Well I need more. I always drink tea when I’m nervous.”

After another minute or two, the interviewer finally introduced herself and her guest, and apologized for interrupting the television. It was only cricket, so I failed to believe anyone really cared.

“Good morning, Your Royal Highness,” Kimberly said to George.

“Please, let’s just stick to George for the time being.”

“Okay, George. We’ll cut to the chase as you requested. Recently sexually explicit photos of your wife were leaked online. No doubt this event is proving incredibly embarrassing for the two of you, even more so considering the photos were not sent to you, but to an ex-lover. Would you care to tell us how you feel about this situation?”

My heart raced as the camera cut to George who looked surprisingly calm. Was this how I would hear about my divorce? Our entire marriage had been played out in the media, so it seemed appropriate somehow.

I didn’t want to lose him, but as I looked at his face, I realized I already had. I could only hope he let me go out with some dignity.

“First of all,” George began, “the leak of these photos constitutes a serious crime. The person responsible will be punished.”

“That person being her ex-fiancé?”

“Yes, it would appear so.”

“The leak must be a source of considerable embarrassment for you?”

“I’m not embarrassed, I’m angry.”

“But how do you feel that another man has explicit photos of your wife?”

“Obviously I’d rather he didn’t still have them, but my wife has a past, as do I.”

“Are you annoyed with her for being so careless?” Kimberly asked.

George looked annoyed all right, but he directed his anger towards the interviewer.

“Why would I be annoyed with Sophia? She had a sex life before she met me, as did I. Frankly, I find your question to be almost as offensive as the leak of the photos.”

Kimberly squirmed awkwardly in her seat, but she managed to retain a composed expression.

“Go, George,” Ellie yelled. “He’s taking her to task. Uptight bitch.”

I smiled, but I knew George was about to drop a bombshell. If he’d just wanted to have a go at Stan, he could have released an official statement. There was more to come.

Kimberly turned a page in her notes, hopefully skipping past any other questions she might have had concerning my blame in all this. George was glaring at her so intently, I almost felt sorry for her.

“What will you do next?” Kimberly asked. “The photos are out there and they’re all anyone is talking about. Like it or not, this is going to affect your position as a prince and Sophia’s as a princess.”

“You’re right,” George admitted. “This will die down eventually, but in the meantime the news has already had a huge impact on my fundraising efforts. That’s pathetic, by the way, but unfortunately it’s true.”

I groaned loudly in frustration. “Great, so now I’ve taken money from charities.”

“No, Stan has,” Ellie replied. “You cannot blame yourself over this. I know I sound like a broken record, but it’s true.”

“We’re going to have to get divorced,” I said, with a heavy heart. “That’s the only solution.”

“George will find a way,” Ellie said. “He has to.”

“So that’s the plan?” Kimberly asked George. “You’re just going to wait for this all to die down?”

“Sort of. The problem is it could drag on for a long time. Especially if more photos get released.”

Oh shit.

“There are more photos?” Kimberly asked.

“What’s he doing?” I asked Ellie helplessly.

“I… I don’t know.”

“There are more,” George admitted. “As I said, I want this to die down as quickly as possible.”

“Please don’t do this,” I said to the televised version of George as I realized what he was about to do.

“There are more photos,” George said. “And I’m going to release them now. We want to take control of the situation.”

“I’m sure he’s not actually going to—” Ellie stopped in her tracks as George pulled his phone out of his pocket.

“I can’t watch,” I said, as I kept watching anyway.

I wanted to look away, but this was my brain’s way of punishing myself. George was about to show the world everything. My breasts were already online, but soon there would be full nude images, as well as videos of me masturbating, and even one with cum on my face. A woman pictured with cum dripping down her cheeks could never become Queen.

“I know it’s pre-watershed,” George said, “but I’m sure your viewers can look away.”

“I don’t think we can—” Kimberly began. She stopped arguing as she looked off-camera and presumably got the nod from her boss. “Apparently we can.”

“I’ll cut to the chase,” George flicked through a few screens on his phone. “This is the worst one. A full, close up shot of the genitals. Personally, I think it’s a beautiful picture, but the public will be the judge of that.”

He’s doing it. He’s actually fucking doing it. He’s going to show my pussy to the entire world.

“Is it a good picture, at least?” Ellie asked.

I knew she was trying to lighten the mood, but I wasn’t interested. Harry must have convinced George this was the right thing to do, but he was screwing me over in the process.

George held his phone up to the camera which slowly zoomed in and then focused on the image on his screen.

“Oh. My. God,” Ellie said loudly. “That is lush.”

“It’s… It’s….”

“It’s huge,” Ellie said. “Bloody hell, Sophia. You told me he it was big, but that’s ridiculous.”

I heard Kimberly gasp off camera as she saw the image on the phone. And what an image it was.

I stared at the rock hard, nine-inch cock I knew and loved. So did the rest of the world.

“That’s one of the more flattering photos,” George said. “There are some where I’m more… relaxed, and one where—I swear to God—it was really cold when I took the photo.”

“That’s your…” Kimberly began. “These are your photos?”

“Yep. They’re ones I’ve sent to ladies in the past. They’d probably come out sooner or later. Loads of people do it these days, and I don’t see why women should be the only ones publicly shamed about it.”

George put his phone away, and waited for Kimberly to ask him another question. She looked suitably speechless. The camera lingered on her for ten seconds until she suddenly snapped into life, presumably after receiving a word in her ear.

“We should probably go back to the cricket briefly,” Kimberly announced. “Just to gather our thoughts.”

“I have one more announcement,” George said. “But it can wait.”

As was her habit, Ellie turned the television off the second the cricket appeared on the screen. “Well, that was interesting.”

“Yeah,” I replied. “Interesting.”

“You’re still here.”

“I should probably—”

“Go screw that massive cock that women all over the world are fantasizing about right now? Yeah, you should probably go do that.”

I smiled and grabbed my things. Everyone would still be talking about me, but I didn’t care anymore. I had George.

He had one more announcement to make, and if it was half as interesting as the last one, I wanted to be there when he made it.
