Felicia was a free spirited, guitar-playing, college student and part time singing waitress. That aws where charming young Prince Juan Carlos first spotted her. He was determined she was the one. His mother the Queen, had other ideas. Your typical Cinderella love story? No. Not even close. This time Felicia had the power. The real power. She knew what she wanted for herself and later on for her twin sons. The order of birth, and she made sure it was kept a state secret, would not determine their future roles in life. If it took bribes, threats or charm to accomplish this, so be it. The Queen of Hearts, the power of love trumps every other card in the deck. As to the boys, Felipe and Alfonso, they may have been identical in looks but that was definitely where it ended. Although they spoke Twin Speak, Alfonso's ability to read his own brother's mind, his every thought, made life more than just interesting, it was predictable. Felipe was a hopeless lover. At sixteen he knew what he wanted and was always able to get it. The complications after the abortion in Monte Carlo did not help the situation. Alfonso also wanted love, but this attraction was to slightly older men, one in particular. Queen Felicia had a constant balancing act until the day of the fatal boat race. It was the twins's 18th birthday and the entire city lined the shoreline to see who had the fastest sailboat. Who was the best sailor? Felicia was an observer on one ship, the King on the other. The results were utterly devastating. The entire country went into shock. What happened next was truly beyond anyone's imagination.Life in Spain would never be the same. In the end, it was what Felicia had always dreamed of.
