Summary
Princess Mary, the third of King Henry and Queen Jane’s five daughters, had gotten away with sneaking into Leeds United matches with her Yorkshire-born nanny, Mrs Hill, since she was a tween. A team beanie, a scarf and some facepaint rendered her completely anonymous and free to dance like a lunatic, raucously sing the team songs, and hurl abuse at the refs in peace.
Since Leeds acquired a humble but dangerous young striker, Yorkshire born-and-bred Tom Hayward, her fervour for the team had only grown. Then came the day the tabloid press spotted Princess Mary in the crowd in her Hayward jersey and she became the subject of several viral TikToks and, of course, the ire of her mother.

Summary
It wasn’t as if Mary was moving to another country, London was barely an hour and a half drive from her childhood home. It would be a bit longer now that her mother was moving into Jane’s guest house, but even then it really shouldn’t have been such a big deal. It wasn’t like her mother liked her very much anyway.
Mary sighed again, and her uncle looked into the rearview mirror to ask “You alright back there?”
There was concern in his eyes, something she never seemed to find when it came to her mother. They looked alike, but in moments like this it was obvious how different they were.
“Yes, just nervous.” Mary responded.
Her aunt reached back from the passenger side to give her hand a tight squeeze.
“It’s normal to be nervous, Mary.” She smiled, “But trust me, you’ll thrive here.
