Today, the coronation of the new Head of State, Queen Victoria I., has been held with a vast ceremony at St. Svorad Cathedral in the capital Iglesia Mayor. After the reigning monarch Cristián I. had announced his resignation due to poor health and high age, legislators quickly agreed on the Crown Princess to become his legitimate successor. Alongside hundreds of cheering supporters of the monarchy celebrating the inauguration of their new queen out on the streets, public officials paid their respects for Victoria. The heads of the three major parties, Prime Minister Larissa LeCoultre (GNP), Padrig Cadwallader (PRG) and opposition leader Zacarías Ferrado (PDM) held speeches to the visitors, among whom were many Dranish and foreign politicans as well as the members of the governing coalition. Queen Victoria thanked the party leaders for their efforts to overthrow the fascist dictatorship and re-establish the monarchy. Minister of Foreign Affairs Isabella Cuartero (GNP) afterwards held a eulogy on the retiring King Cristián I, praising his achievements and merits to the nation.
