Location:
Bald Hill Estate
Prince Andrew goes into see his wife Princess Lisa between contractions and he is nicer to her than he has ever been.
Prince Andrew leaves as some new contractions begin and he hears terrible animal moans, a scream and eventually the wail of a baby come from the other side of the door. The nurse rushes out of the room without making eye-contact with him, and the doctor looks ashen-faced. Princess Mary died in the final moments of birth.
The funeral happens, and then the baptism for the baby, who is called "Prince Nicholas Andréevich".
