New Scotland Yard, New London

As if we didn't have enough trouble... and now, a new King? Oh, how I dislike press conferences...
Joshua looked over his brand-new, dark blue trenchcoat, the Commissioner's badge sparkling at the revers. After a short sigh, he turned around the corner and entered the large press room at the BPA's headquarters.

"Good evening, ladies and gentlemen."

Joshua made a pause, waiting for the reporters and cameramen to calm down. He glanced to his right, where Vimes stood, who gave a short nod back to Joshua.

"Alright, ladies, gentlemen, I'd like your attention.

After getting the Bretonia-wide broadcast of Commodore Lord George Mountbatten's "Royal Edict", you surely expect some statements.
Well, let me begin with the fact that Commodore Mountbatten did only mention one new pledge of loyalty towards him, and that pledge concerns the Armed Forces.

Seemingly, we, the Bretonia Police Authority, were left out here. Nevertheless, the BPA will remain loyal to Her Majesty until She, the House of Lords and the House of Commons together agree on a new head to place Bretonia's Crown on.

Let me also say that the BPA intends to and will intervene, should it come to brawls between pro-King and pro-Queen parties. Our job is to keep Bretonia safe, and unnecessary fights between fellow Bretonians or - as some overhasty reporters already called it - a civil war pose a serious threat to a nation which already is struggling strainedly against a strong enemy.

Ladies, gentlemen, thank you for your attention.
Good evening."

Joshua looked at the horde of journalists, silenced by his short, uninterrupted speech. He turned around and, shortly chuckling to himself, left the room. The door closed and he took the way back to his office.
