Prince Arthur welcomes group and asks if there are any additions to the agenda. No new suggestions are made. Meeting commences.

9:02 AM

Prince Arthur:

We've decided to forgo the option of an official royal obstetrician in favour of using the most excellent public health care system available to the rest of the kingdom. As such, the Princess and I will be attending the office of Dr. Anita Dropp, who has served the Sharpe family loyally and most competently for the past forty years. While I'm certain some of the people at this table may have concerns, I assure you Dr. Dropp is a most experienced caregiver, and no further discussion on the matter will be required.

Dylan Sinclair:

Does this Dr. Dropp have any A-list clients?

Princess Tessa:

Not that I'm aware of. She has her office over in Lincolnshire, so I'm pretty sure her patients are generally regular folks.

Dylan Sinclair:

You can see how this would be problematic as far as your image goes, can’t you? I’m thinking we go in a totally different direction with this whole obstetrician thing—perhaps fly in a celebrity obstetrician from Hollywood?

Prince Arthur:

Yes, well that would be rather a slap in the face to our own nation’s medical schools and doctors, wouldn’t it?
