Princess Sayari, Princess of Rimarima (born 16.IV.1722 AN) is the heir apparent to the throne of Nouvelle Alexandrie and third in line to the throne of Natopia. She is the eldest child of King Sinchi Roca II and Queen Adelaide. Upon the accession of her father to the throne in 1735 AN, she became Princess of Rimarima, the traditional title for the heir to the New Alexandrian throne. She is expected to become Nouvelle Alexandrie's first queen regnant.

The Treaty of Dynastic Separation (1721 AN) established that Sayari would inherit the throne of Nouvelle Alexandrie while her brother Prince Nathan would inherit the throne of Natopia, resolving the succession question created by their parents' positions as heirs to two separate crowns.

Early life

Princess Sayari was born at the Palace of Carranza in Cárdenas on 16.IV.1722 AN to then-Prince Uturuncu (later King Sinchi Roca II) and Princess Adelaide of Natopia. Her birth occurred one year after the Lindstrom Summit, which established the framework for separating the New Alexandrian and Natopian successions through her and her brother. She received private education at the Palace of Carranza until age 10, with instruction in constitutional law, history, languages, and the cultural traditions of both the Wechua Nation and Alduria. She is fluent in Alexandrian, Martino, Wechua, and Istvanistani.

Education

Princess Sayari enrolled at the University of Cárdenas at age 16, studying International Relations and Comparative Government. She graduated with honors in 1743 AN. Her senior thesis, "Constitutional Monarchies in Federal Systems," examined the governmental structure of Nouvelle Alexandrie.

Role as heir apparent

Princess Sayari became heir apparent upon her father's accession as King Sinchi Roca II in 1735 AN. She received the title Princess of Rimarima in an investiture ceremony at the Palace of Chinchero in Parap. As Crown Princess, she serves on the Royal Council and may attend meetings of the Council of State when invited by the King.

Official duties

The Princess undertakes approximately 200 official engagements annually. She serves as patron or president of several organizations, including:

• The New Alexandrian Youth Education Trust;
• The Royal Society for Cultural Preservation;
• The Women's Leadership Institute of Nouvelle Alexandrie;
• The Federal Veterans Assistance Program.

Royal Tour of 1746

In 1746 AN, Princess Sayari accompanied her parents and siblings on an extensive tour of all twelve regions of the Federation. The tour included visits to agricultural communities, scientific facilities, and military installations. During the tour, she participated in the establishment of the Adelaide Institute, an institution for New Alexandrian scholarship and cultural preservation. Political leaders from multiple parties praised the Princess's performance during the tour. Federal Consensus Party leader Morissa Baumann stated that the Princess displayed "impressive command of regional languages and cultural traditions."

1749 political controversy

On 28.III.1749 AN, Princess Sayari delivered a speech at the University of Cárdenas convocation ceremony in which she stated "we cannot ignore growing inequality" and called for environmental protection. The speech occurred during the 1749 general election campaign and amid the North Lyrica logging scandal. The remarks were widely interpreted as indirect commentary on the ongoing political controversies, particularly the North Lyrica situation. Federal Humanist Party Co-Archon Daniela Obregon y Zarzuela criticized the Princess, stating: "A Princess of the Blood should, perhaps, have the grace to realise that she does not, by the very nature of her role, occupy a position from which to hold forth on matters of privilege, particularly when it comes to so-called 'inequalities' in our society." Other FHP figures accused the Crown Princess of taking sides in an active criminal investigation. The Alliance for a Just Nouvelle Alexandrie welcomed the remarks. Leader Gabrielle Fitzgerald stated they represented a "fresh royal perspective." The Federal Consensus Party declined to comment on the constitutional implications of the speech.

King Sinchi Roca II issued a statement describing his daughter's comments as "personal reflections" rather than "royal policy," clarifying that they did not represent official royal positions. The statement did not include an apology or reprimand.

Personal life

Princess Sayari maintains private apartments in the East Wing of the Palace of Carranza. She also has use of royal residences at La Alborada in Chambéry, the Palace of Chinchero in Parap, and La Concordia in Punta Santiago.

Interests and character

The Princess has expressed public interest in history, constitutional law, literature, and environmental sciences. She maintains an extensive personal library and is known to prepare extensively for official engagements. Observers note her practice of learning about organizations and individuals before official visits. Those who have worked with the Princess describe her as conscientious and detail-oriented. Royal biographer Patricia Santos-Morgan wrote in 1746 AN that Princess Sayari "approaches public duties with evident seriousness of purpose." Her speeches frequently emphasize education, merit-based advancement, and social responsibility.

The Princess has demonstrated artistic interests in painting and music, though she rarely displays works publicly. She participated in harvest ceremonies during the Grand Federal Tour of 1746 and engaged in technical discussions with agricultural scientists and engineers during regional visits.

Marriage question

The question of Princess Sayari's marriage has been subject to public discussion and media speculation since she turned 21 in 1743 AN. Constitutional questions remain unresolved regarding the status of a future queen's consort and the succession of her children. The Proclamation of Punta Santiago establishes equal succession rights for male and female heirs but does not address whether a queen regnant's husband would hold the title of king or the status of children born to such a marriage. Princess Sayari has stated publicly that she views marriage as requiring personal compatibility while acknowledging unique responsibilities associated with her position. In a 1744 AN interview, she stated: "Any partnership I enter must be based on mutual respect and shared values, but I am not unaware that my choice will have implications beyond the personal."

Family

Princess Sayari has four younger siblings:

• Prince Nathan (b. 1724 AN);
• Princess Urpi (b. 1726 AN);
• Prince Xanthorr (b. 1728 AN);
• Princess Phaedra (b. 1730 AN).

The Treaty of Dynastic Separation established that Prince Nathan will inherit the throne of Natopia, creating a situation in which the two siblings will rule neighboring nations.
