Did I mention that Radio was the name of Roxanne's favorite bard? "The Radio" they called him the fat old man with a voice like an angel.

The Queen's Daily Routine

A great deal of discussion has taken place about the role of and, more specifically, the necessity for the Hellenistic  Monarchy. Many people criticize Queen Roxanna, the manner in which she lives, the 1,250,000 solidi she receives every year, and the life-style she represents. Does the Queen really live an easy and unproductive life? Let's have a look at an ordinary day in her life.
The Queen's day begins at eight o'clock. Usually she listens to the radio, reads her personal correspondence and the morning papers. , her dresser prepares her clothes. She has breakfast with her husband, King Alexander (or a stand in), at nine o'clock. Then the year's plans are discussed with the rest of the family, which often means sending messages through long-range pigeon carrier.
At 9.30, the real day's work begins with large numbers of papers arriving in coloured boxes from the forum, where the government offices are. She discusses Current Affairs ans other public problems with her private secretaries when they meet at 10.30. Some time later, the Queen visits the kitchens and chooses the menu. Several times each month she sits for portraits.
Before lunch, she holds audiences, perhaps with a lord or a foreign diplomat. The brief lunch is followed by official outside engagements such as opening a new school or naming a ship. Now and then, the Queen visits a race-meeting in which one or more of her horses may be taking part.
In the evening she usually has to attend theater or a banquet given for some visiting guest, or she is busy reading papers at the Palace. Rarely does she have a free evening and when she does, the Queen likes to watch athletics at the local gymnasium.
Her refusal to give interviews has led to a considerable number of bards and poets claiming to have inside information about the private life.
