“Amalia!” Onika shouted excitedly, opening her arms for an embrace that Amalia eagerly stepped into.

“Onika, hi!” she responded warmly before pulling away. They kissed each other on the cheeks, both quite aware of the curious stares coming from around them.

Louis walked up behind Onika and gave Amalia a hug.

"How are you?" Louis asked.

"I'm good, enjoying my pregnancy." Amalia answered rubbing her baby bump.

Kristen walked up with Kendrick with Kate, William, Harry, and Meghan following them.

“I almost didn’t recognise you.” Amalia teased.

“You didn’t recognise your own niece?” Kristen asked.

“I know honey, I just missed you is all.” Amalia rubbed her nieces cheek affectionately. “How come it’s been so long since we’ve been this close?”

"Cause you're pregnant and I'm working on being a future queen." Kristen said.

"Oh, yes the obvious reasons." Amalia said.

"Hi Onika." Kate said giving her a hug.

"Looks like the whole family is here." Harry said.

"I know I can't remember the last time we all were in one room together." William said.

"I can, it was Harry and Meghan's wedding, duh." Robyn said walking up to the group with Rose, Gabrielle, Michael, and Henrik.

"Yes, that is true." Meghan said.

"Onika, how's the babies?" Robyn asked.

"Oh, they're great. I still can't believe I gave birth to twins. Luca already acting like his father and Tirana is very calm for a baby." Onika said.

"I'm so sorry that you have to deal with two Louis'." Harry said.

"Hey, I'm not that bad and Meghan, pray you have a little girl no one wants another Harry." Louis said.

"How about you both are bad no one should have to deal with that." William said causing everyone to laugh.

"Your royal highnesses, it's time for your grand entrance." A butler said.

"Time to get this show on the road." Harry said.

"Let's do this, I have a episode of Real housewives of Atlanta to watch." Louis said.

"I knew it, so you're the one that keeps recording those episodes." Harry said.

"I have no idea what you're talking about." Louis said following the butler.

"Oh boys." Kate said.

Crown Princess Amalia isolates older members of the British royal family from her life.

There are reports stating that Amalia has refused to be involved or around certain members of the British royal family.

A source claims that Amalia only comes to England for engagements and to spend time with her two brothers and their families.

Amalia hasn't acknowledged her father or grandmother since her book came out.

Another source claims Charles ia heartbroken that his only daughter wants nothing to do with him and he knows it's his fault for their broken relationship.

An insider said that the Queen and Prince Charles were forcing Amalia to get pregnant to save the monarchy. When Amalia refused they threatened her. Amalia who truly is her mother child laughed and said they needed her more than she needed them and announced she would no longer uaw her title 'Princess of Wales' instead she would go by her married title 'Crown Princess Amalia of Herraden'.

It's sad to hear what has been going on behind those palace walls but we the people are proud of Amalia for standing her ground and not allowing the royal family to run all over her.

It provides even more worry of why Charles shouldn't be King. Hopefully, William or Kristen will be the next King or Queen of England which will restore the people's faith in the crown.

Truly Charles should be ashamed of himself and fix his relationship with his daughter. She's the people's heart. Just like they turned against him when Diana revealed he was having an affair with the Duchess of Cornwall. The people will turn against him for Crown Princess Amalia.

Amalia has since grown closer to her two older brothers which is something we know Diana would have wanted.

We support Amalia one hundred percent and can't wait to meet the royal baby. Hopefully, it's a girl who will continue being beloved by the people.

Amalia is set to give birth in December.
