Crowning of Nikolai III of United Duchies 22nd January 2022
The day had arrived the funeral of former High Duke Albert I had gone to plan with all the biggest families of the country, party leaders(including The Left out of respect) and foreign leaders as well as foreign royals and the noble families in attendance. All in all it had been a big event. Through it all he'd tried to keep a low profile so the focus was on the old High Dukes life, his day would come after coronation. The day after the funeral his official image was released him sitting on a fence in the country. He had been surprised when the votes swung his way and he hadn't expected to be in this position so young. Still his family and many advisors had prepared him well for this, he knew he could do well and use his position to help those less fortunate , in a non-political way of course, he would focus on patronising charities for disabled, the poorer people and of course nature and make sure the High Duke estate was stewarded with ethical principles. Before the big event he spoke the King of Reitzmag who was in the palace with his daughter , he asked him for some advice and also needed some nerves calming, natural of course but he'd asked the king "How do you think I'll be seen as High Duke at my age. Do you think some will treat me like a child? I want them to know I am ready."
The crowds were gathering foreign royals arriving , the noble families of the Duchies,all the dukes and all the party leaders except The Left though he wasn't keen on New Dawn attending. The Senators and Legislators and ministers were arriving with the great families like the Abbotts and Roscoes one of who's children he counted among a friend since he'd supported him through his terrible attack as a fellow Autistic. He hoped people would accept him an known proud Autistic High Duke that was another concern how would they react to an Autistic High Duke, he just hoped for acceptance , he'd also took an unprecedented step for any Autistic children in attendence such as Amaziah , he invited them to the palace the night before and they slept over and he also insisted they get to see the room and know what order things were going to be in, he knew how important preparation was so he decided to meet each of them personally and as a group and to help them though the process. . As the crowds streamed in the time was nearing.

The Royal Family came days before the coronation and the funeral. George spent a lot of time with Nikolai to comfort him and help him get through some anxieties when he became the High Duke. Just before the event, all of the Royal Family stayed with Nikolai to help him in his first duties. When Nikolai approached the king for some advice, he smiled and responded.
GR: "Don't worry about your age, it doesn't matter. The youngest king to ever serve in Reitzmag was 21 when he began his reign. It was my ancestor Richard VII, the son of Queen Anne. He successfully ruled for more than 40 years. And his secret to good leadership is to be present for the people, and keep yourself strong for them. Don't think of the people as critics, but rather take them as inspiration for your reign. That way, you'll be a successful Head of State just as my ancestors were."
The royals made their final preparations, George wore his air force attire With all his medals and honours as king displayed. Opting for a purple sash for the Order of the Crown, as a way to give recognition to Nikolai's marriage to the Princess Royal.
