If You Think That I Could Be Forgiven...

Her Majesty and his royal highness Prince Henrik have the joy to announce that his royal highness, the Crown Prince, has been engaged to Miss Mary Elizabeth Donaldson.

Today, I stood on a balcony a man divided, and a liar.

Yes. I am engaged to Mary Donaldson.

And yes, I did enter a relationship with Claire Forlani.

And yes, I do feel terrible.

I feel terrible for essentially cheating on Mary. I feel terrible for all the lies I have told her.

And believe it or not, I feel horrible about what I have done to Claire. I led her on under false pretense, invited her to stay in Copenhagen at my residence, and pursued her, all the while I was in a serious relationship.

It was unfair to both Claire and Mary what I was doing. I told Claire she had to leave, and did not offer any explanation. Instead, she found out this morning from a damn newspaper.

I did my job this morning. I smiled for the cameras. I looked at Mary adoringly, and kissed her hand. Held her hand while the press threw all the tricky questions at her and tested her knowledge of the Danish language.

Claire, I am sorry. More sorry than you will ever know. I cared for you alot, and I still do. I could equate what I shared with you a mid-life crisis, but that would not be the truth at all.

My greatest accomplishment has been, being born. Everything after that I have screwed up, royally. Pardon my pun.
