At Belvorn
There was political and rebellious turmoil after Caryn was taken away by James in front of everyone during her coronation ceremony and later declared as his wife.
It showed he had no intention of letting her stay in Belvorn. And with Natalie having chosen to be the CEO of the Harper Group over accepting the title of Princess of Belvorn, many people were now worried about who would become the next Queen.
Howard took full advantage of this situation and rallied those people to side with him, claiming that Charlotte should be the next Princess.
They had already raised the issue of a change in royal power secretly, having many influential and powerful people in the country on their side. He made the case that the Queen's daughter and granddaughter were no longer Belvorn citizens, and that their loyalty lay with another country, as they had chosen to live with their husbands.
