Prince Regent of the Kingdom of Dolgava has died today in a tragic plane in the stait of Karzon, heading towards Egelion. The crash killed the prince Verner Banchlov Rothingren-Traugott-Ludwig dying at the age of 29 years old. He died along with a reported 9 other passengers on board, along with two pilots. The Prince consort was on his way to the Conference of Altéa, to represent his pregnant wife, who was not attending. In his separate plane, he took off in an air convoy, which flew in tandem with the Dolgavan Prime Minister's personal plane, carrying the rest of Dolgava's officials. Witnesses stated they saw the plane lose altitude and crash into the ocean.

A evacuation and rescue attempt was held immediately, with escorting helicopters being on scene, to look for any survivors, however there were none to be found. The names of those besides the Prince Consort have been kept private out of respect for their families, and everyone affected, has been notified.

For the Queen the news is devastating, as she knew Verner, since they both went to school. With her being pregnant, and with a child expected in August, Queen Jaanika is now a single parent, and the sitting monarch of Dolgava. Besides a public statement urging mourners to please donate to charity, or provide flowers outside of the Royal Palace, they have stated that they are looking for thoughts and prayers for Queen Jaanika as she moves forward with this terrible loss.

The Prime Minister upon landing made a short press conference alongside his Foreign Minister and the Leader of the Opposition, speaking for them all he said that

The thoughts and prayers of the entire country, are with Queen Jaanika tonight. I in the coming hours will hold a telephone conversation with the Queen in which I will give my deepest sympathies. This loss is tragic, and I will make sure we get to the bottom of what happened in this terrible situation. I speak for everyone here when we say, we are united behind our most amazing of Queens and we will continue to stand beside her in the coming weeks, months and years to come

No word on funerals or any of that has been declared, but the investigation into the crash is still ongoing, and that will take months if not years to complete. This is a shock to the nation, a shock to the Queen, and is a major setback for the monarchy, who will have to pick up the pieces.
