Dolgava

Queen Jaanika made an announcement from her personal social media page today saying that she was expecting a baby later this year, and posted a photo, with a baby bump and a yellow dress, walking down one of the many corridors of the Pelēkā Pils (The Grey Palace). In her post she included that August was the expected time of arrival for the potential next monarch of Dolgava, and her first child.

The Royal Palace quickly announced an official press release stating that the Queen was pregnant, and would be making limited public appearances until she had given birth, but it is clear that the Queen of Dolgava decided that instead of the royal palace making the announcement, she would tell the people of Dolgava herself, and on a platform in which they would all see it.

Reactions across the country took place with the Prime Minister calling it a "joyous day for Queen Jaanika and Prince Verner", and he also stated that "May Eliyahu's blessings be on the Queen during this time of joy and uncertainty".

The leader of the opposition the new leader of the Conservatives Toivo Meri chimed in as well saying that the Queen "is a capable and strong women", and stated that "the people of Dolgava are with her during this time of blessing". For the country, despite politician differences, they all stood behind her as she in a few months will hopefully become a mother!
