E112. Regina, Monarch and Sovereign

Gloriana had illuminated an era, for which she gave it her name. A grand ceremony was about to begin. Her Majesty was dressed for the occasion and coiffed in style. Good Queen Bess always dominated special occasions and today would be no exception. Her subjects would pay her homage, as they should. Although Regina’s Monarch and Sovereign official portraits had not changed in decades—propagating intemporal youth and vigor throughout her realm—today her mask would be removed, finally exposing her true visage. Anyone who was ‘anyone’ in the Kingdom was present. The Monarch’s favorite seamstress remained close by, at her post, assuring her anointed Sovereign’s costume was impeccable. The Virgin Queen was ready. She lay still, dignified, royal, arms to either side, reposed in regal attire, attended by her ladies in waiting, ready for one last opulent public appearance... her funeral.
