Princess Ann. I hope that you will retain your composure during our questioning. As it stands, our opinion of the royal line is rapidly diminishing based on the farce of this trial today. I sincerely hope that you will conduct yourself with dignity.” A brisk voice stated loudly, clearly ignoring Leopold’s
