Just let it grow. Whatever it is that you're in love with doing right now. Writing, painting, music, photography, calligraphy and anything else under the sun. If it's good for your soul then just let it bloom naturally. Don't overthink the success, the audience, the amount of time you put into creating. Just let it be and let love be your guide every step in the way.

The Queen's advisor had come to Anastasija about accompanying the Queen to a public engagement at the hospital. Of course, Anastasija agreed to accompany the Queen to the hospital and they left an hour later, escorted by what seemed like an army of secret service and bodyguards.

They were still on their way when Anastasija felt her phone vibrate in her purse. She took it out and found that she'd received a text message from Harry. She smiled as she read it. He was wishing her good luck and reminding her to smile.

Anastasija looked up from her phone and noticed that Queen Elizabeth was looking at her with a smile on her face. Anastasija blushed.

"You two remind me of Philip and I." The Queen said quietly.

"We do?" Anastasija asked.

"Oh yes, that's probably why I've been so supportive since the beginning. I'm just happy you both have each other." Elizabeth answered.

"Thank you, I know how fond you are of us being together." Anastasija said.

"I don't usually like change," The Queen went on, "I like tradition and consistency, but you may very well be the best thing that has ever happened to us." She said.

Anastasija smiled.

They arrived at the hospital, when they got out of the car, the press hounded them as expected. They didn't seem so surprised that Anastasija was there. They must have been getting used to the idea of her being apart of the royal family.

The Queen only spoke a few words with them about the new wing at the hospital before they were both led inside.

The Queen officially opened the new wing and then they spent a few minutes with the children in other parts of the hospital.

"Do you want children?" Anastasija asked suddenly out of no where. They were babysitting Kate and William's children while they were out. Harry had made a joke about it being test trail for them and it got Anastasija to thinking. They did tell BBC they wanted children in the near future but that was just a generic answer. They really needed to talk about these kinds of things, just get them out of the way now.

"Yes, of course I do." Harry answered immediately and without hesitation. "On one condition, though."

"What is it?" Anastasija asked.

"That you be their mother." Harry answered.

"Who else would it be?" Anastasija scoffed.

She was really relieved that he wanted children too. She couldn't say that it would have been a deal breaker if he didn't want them, but it would've still made a huge difference.

"So how many do you want?" Anastasija asked, continuing the topic of the future.

"Hm, how about as many as you can give me?" He replied as he pulled her closer burying his face in her hair.

"Hey, I'm not a baby making machine." She said as she hit him playfully. "How about we settle for four?" She asked.

"Four is fine with me." He answered as he grinned. "I always wanted a big family." He said.

"Didn't your parents want more children after they had you and William?" Anastasija asked.

"Yes, they did actually but my mother had suffered a miscarriage before me and after well it just never happened since their marriage was starting to fall apart." Harry answered.

"Oh." Anastasija mumbled sadly.

"It's fine; they'd already had their heir and a spare as well." Harry muttered jokingly.

"Hey, that's not a fair thing to say, Harry. Your parents clearly loves you so much. You weren't just an obligation or a royal duty to them." Anastasija said.

"I know, sorry." Harry said as he kissed her forehead. "I didn't mean it that way. I know that my parents loves us." He said.

"Don't you think it's a little too quiet?" She asked.

"Yeah, we should probably go look for them before we end up with a ruined home." He replied.

"Yeah, we probably should." She said.

Anastasija and the Suffragettes: the Princess of Bhutan and future wife of Prince Harry marks women's vote centenary

Princess Anastasija has paid tribute to Suffragette leaders at a special event in London. Anastasija officially renamed three towers at the London School of Economics after some of the most high profile campaigners, one hundred years after women were first granted the right to vote in Britain.

The princess attended a ceremony at Clement's Inn in the capital on Friday to name the buildings after Emmeline Pankhurst, Millicent Garrett Fawcett and Emmeline Pethick-Lawrence. The towers are in the same place as the London base of the Women Social and Political Union, set up by Emmeline Pankhurst and supported by Emmeline Pethick-Lawrence.

During her visit to the LSE, the Princess of Bhutan also visited a special exhibition focused on some of the key figures in the campaign for female suffrage. Fifty nine women and men who worked towards winning the vote for all are remembered in the display. Anastasija also got a chance to view the Women's Library at the institution which is home to a collection of documents linked to the suffrage campaign. Some of its most important possessions include the papers of Millicent Fawcett and the Fawcett Society which was set up to campaign peacefully for women's rights.

Ahead of the naming ceremony, Anastasija met present day students to discuss the impact of the suffragette movement and the issues surrounding equality and women's rights today.

The Princess also met two high profile campaigners for equality issues at the ceremony. Dr Helen Pankhurst, a visiting professor at the LSE and a great-granddaughter of Emmeline Pankhurst, and Caroline Criado-Perez, formerly a student at the college, also took part in the event. The LSE Pro-Director for Research, Professor Julia Black, said the organisation had a long history of support for the women's suffrage movement and the decision to rename the towers in the centenary year was "celebrating a landmark moment in gender equality and political history".

The centenary commemorations mark the 1918 Representation of the People Act which granted the vote to some women in the UK for the first time. To qualify, women had to be over the age of 30 and fulfil pre set property ownership requirements. Around 8 million women won the right to cast a ballot in parliamentary elections because of the law change. Full female suffrage was achieved in 1928 when all women over the age of 21 were given the right to vote on the same terms as men.
