King Aldric Orders Total Digital Erasure of Duchess Selina from Royal Records
In a move both swift and uncompromising, King Aldric of the Kingdom of Westerford has ordered a complete removal of Duchess Selina’s presence from all official royal records. Photographs, biographical entries, ceremonial mentions, and even her royal title have been deleted from the monarchy’s digital and physical archives, effectively erasing her from the institution’s history.
The unprecedented purge, confirmed late Tuesday by the Royal Press Office, has sent shockwaves through both political circles and the public. “By directive of His Majesty the King, all references to the Duchess of Elmsworth are to be removed with immediate effect,” the statement read. “This is a matter of official record and institutional integrity.” No further explanation was provided.
In the hours following the announcement, the royal website underwent a rapid overhaul. Pages that once detailed Selina’s charity work, public appearances, and biographical background now redirect to a generic “Page Not Found” message. Official social media accounts of the Royal Household have similarly deleted every post featuring her image or name. Even photographs from major state events in which Selina played a central role have been reissued to the press with her presence cropped out.
The scale of the operation suggests months of planning. Sources familiar with the palace’s archival process described “a coordinated effort involving legal, technical, and historical teams.” One insider, speaking under condition of anonymity, called it “the most aggressive historical revision in modern royal memory.”
Duchess Selina, who married Prince Leopold in 2018, rose to prominence as one of the most visible and celebrated members of the royal family. Her outspoken approach to philanthropy, particularly in the areas of environmental policy and global education, won her a large international following. Yet in recent years, rumours of strained relations between Selina and senior members of the royal household have been frequent.
The palace has not addressed the nature of the rift. However, constitutional scholars note that a purge of this magnitude signals more than personal disagreement — it represents a deliberate severing of institutional ties. “Erasing a member from official records is not symbolic; it’s structural,” said Dr. Elinor Hart, a historian of European monarchies. “It is as if she never existed in the royal framework.”
Public response has been polarised. Loyalists argue the King is protecting the dignity of the Crown from internal discord. Critics see the purge as an alarming act of censorship. Across social media, hashtags like #WhereIsSelina and #RoyalRewrite have begun trending, with users debating whether history can — or should — be rewritten so completely.
As of Wednesday morning, Duchess Selina has not made any public statement. Her personal accounts remain silent, and her current whereabouts are unknown. Whether she will challenge the King’s order, or whether this marks the final chapter of her life within the palace’s orbit, remains to be seen.
For now, one truth stands: in the official story of the Kingdom of Westerford, Duchess Selina has vanished without a trace.
