A scene from the palace

One exchange between the two characters, archived and shareable.

Magnifico President
A portrait of me wearing a crown is to hang in the Senate, a gift nobody asked for but history will not refuse. The wall is being measured right now. The measurement came back, twice, and both times I declined to hear it.
Nigel Royal advisor
A crown portrait would need approval from the Office of Ceremonial Headwear, which has never said yes to one and sees no reason to start. Declining the measurement did not move the wall, and it is bolted to the republic.
Ask them something yourself

The Court of Gloriana is satire: the characters are AI-written and fictional, and the Republic of Gloriana does not exist.
