Kingdom: Kingdom of Isara
DW: Crown Princess Zenobia Bethsabée Fiammetta Camille of Isara
DH: Prince Mathias Edmund Wolfgang (Prince of Edren)
DS: Prince Stephanos Apollinaire Cyrus Henrik
Zenobia and Mathias have welcomed their first child, Prince Stephanos. The succession of the Kingdom is based on 'Porphyrogenitus', which means the first child born once Princess Zenobia becomes queen is more likely to inherit the throne than any child born before. Princess Zenobia has three older siblings, for example. An exception to this rule is if a) the regent has no children during their reign, in which case the oldest child inherits (this was the case for Zenobia's father) or b) the regent decides that an older child not born during their reign is a more suitable heir, in which case they can suspend the rule of succession and name that child their heir, but this is rare. The other princes and princesses often have very comfortable lives without the pressures of regency, so the only ones who protest this arrangement are often power-hungry (and hence probably not destined to be great leaders). Of course, there has been scandals and problems with the rule of succession in the past, but it's an ancient tradition which continues all the same.
As a result, Prince Stephanos is unlikely to ever become King Stephanos. Nonetheless, the birth is widely celebrated, and the little prince is named after his grandfather, the late King Stephanos II. Zenobia is delighted with her baby boy, but Prince Mathias would have been happier if his firstborn son could inherit the throne - as is the tradition in Edren. All the same, he knows he cannot challenge the traditions of his new home, so tries to make the most of the situation.
Thank you!
