Emperor of Reunion honours Prince with ducal title
In what has been termed a "significant diplomatic gesture", the Holy Empire of Reunion yesterday offered HCH the Prince a patent of nobility in the Empire, creating him Duke of Logreb.
It is understood the HCH the Prince is most gratified at this generous gesture, and future diplomatic relations between our two nations are expected to be warm and cordial.
In a brief conference with members of the Press Corps today, the Foreign Minister responded to questions posed regarding HCH's dual position as sovereign head of an absolute monarchy and as a member of the Reunian nobility, subordinate to the Emperor.
The Minister's replies made it clear that the situation had ample precedent in history. Until the 19th century, for instance, the King of Denmark also held fiefs in Germany, owing feudal obligation to the Holy Roman Emperor. The Foreign Minister assured the Press Corps, and the people of Corvinia, that HCH the Prince is well capable of discerning between his separate roles, and that the sovereignty of Corvinia is unaffected.
