There are some in your country who wonder whether the King still has a sister, so rarely does she set foot in her homeland.’

      ‘His name is Jason Cresswell,’ she said sulkily. ‘He works for the Daily View.’

      ‘Good. Perhaps you are finally beginning to see sense. You might learn that co-operation is infinitely more preferable to rebellion. Now leave me while I speak with him in private.’ He glanced at her as he pulled his mobile phone from his pocket.

      ‘Go and get your coat on. Because after I’ve finished with the journalist we’re heading for the airfield, where the plane is waiting to take you to your new life in Qurhah.’
