Picture Source

The King of Sidon has ruled for over three decades. During these number of years, he has overseen massive improvements in the kingdom. Healthcare, education and general standard of living of his people were his top priority. And unlike his predecessors who were war-like in nature, he took a different dimension and adopted a more diplomatic approach in his relationship with both his subjects and outsiders alike. He improved the kingdom's relationship with other neighbouring nations.

Many inhabitants of the kingdom appear to like his style of leadership with many describing him as a simple, easy-going royal father. It is believed that the people's good thoughts have been keeping him alive.

One day, the kingdom was however thrown into a mourning mood as town criers, print and electronic media and even leading social media outlets broke the sudden and untimely death of the age long royal father. A three-day national mourning was declared in his honour.

Greg, whose father is a member of the cabinet decided to accompany the dad to the palace of the late royal father for condolences. Upon reaching there, Greg saw the crown Prince dressed in a flowing regalia.

Greg wondered why the crown Prince should be wearing an attire that has a touch of ferminine style. He must get the full gist on this matter from his father.

So as they were driving home that evening Greg asked the father the reason for the ferminine style used for the crown Prince robe. The father told Greg that the crown Prince is still a minor and cannot ascend the throne, even though hereditary. So the feminine style regalia portrays him as not yet a full grown man. When he comes of age his attire will change to one with a masculine touch.
