Dear Dylan,
After lengthy discussions with Will and some of the senior advisors, we are willing to accept your new terms with the following caveat: You may have access to wedding-related events only and will not be allowed to film whilst either of us are working on charitable causes, regular royal duties, or other non-wedding-related business.
I shall have our attorneys work that into a new version of the contract and will send it to you shortly.
Regards,
Arabella

Dear William and Princess Arabella,
Agreed. I’ll have the planning and execution team ready to roll by tomorrow morning so we can immerse ourselves in creating the greatest speed wedding of all time. I’ve already got one of the best in the biz at the ready (after a hefty retainer).
Know that I intend to get every minute I can out of Will’s existing contract.
Regards,
Dylan
ABN Evening News with Giles Bigly
"Good evening, I'm Giles Bigly, and this is your ABN Evening News. Our top story tonight—an explosive announcement from Valcourt palace today as the royal family sets a date and shares some surprising wedding plans." Giles stares intently at the camera as the screen splits and Zachary Jones appears, standing in front of the palace gates which are lit up from below against the night sky. "Zachary Jones is live at Valcourt Palace to give us more details. Zachary, what exactly is going on?"
"Yes, hello, Giles. Can you hear me?"
"I can hear you Zachary. Please go ahead," Giles says, looking slightly agitated.
"Oh, good. Shocking news today from the royal family as Princess Arabella's wedding date is set for June third, less than twelve weeks from today. “According to the statement from the palace, and I quote: ‘Mr. Banks’ extremely tight filming schedule, as well as Princess Arabella’s many charitable obligations—specifically her work for the United Nations Equal Everywhere Campaign – were the driving forces behind the selection of such a quickly-approaching date.’”
"Zachary, this is quite unusual for a royal wedding, is it not?" Giles asks, needling his eyebrows together in a most intelligent way.
"Yes, the average time frame is approximately eighteen months in the planning and execution of a royal wedding. When Prince Arthur and Princess Tessa were married, they insisted on a six-month turnaround and it appears as though Princess Arabella has decided to push the royal staff even harder."
"What a difficult task, indeed. As we all know, there are dozens of moving parts when it comes to an affair of this magnitude. It's surprising that this senior royal, who is normally so gracious, is possibly turning into a real bridezilla."
Zachary chuckles, then says, "Indeed. The Internet is abuzz with this news as royal watchers take to the message boards to discuss this monumental decision."
Giles nods. "And what seems to be the verdict online?"
Zachary glances at his notepad, then says, "A real mishmash of opinions, to be honest. Obviously, there are a number of people who believe a royal accident is the true cause. In fact, this particular theory seems to have taken hold among the bookies who are now paying 2 to 5 odds on an heir appearing within six months of now."
