Amber's Blog

***Amber's Blog*** is the viral weblog of journalist/investigative blogger/Queen of Aldovia Amber Moore Charlton.

## Founding of Amber's Blog

Amber was on assignment for Beat Now Magazine covering the Aldovian succession following the death of King Richard I. During her undercover investigations, she infiltrated the Aldovia Royal Palace and posed as the new royal tutor for Princess Emily. This gave her an opportunity to closely observe, document, and even make video recordings of the incipient succession crisis that unfolded as then Prince Richard debated his role as the future king. Amber promised Princess Emily she would write the truth about Richard, but after she judged him to be a kind man and a kindly ruler, the editor of Beat Now Magazine refused to publish the story despite major components of interest such as Amber's unauthorized entry into the palace and integration into the royal household, discovery that Prince Richard was adopted, and subsequent discovery of evidence that secured his claim to the throne. After being told her story was too sentimental and favorable toward Richard, Amber decided to fulfill her promise to Princess Emily and self-published the results of her investigation on her new blog, *Amber's Blog.*

## Controversy

During her early time as a permanent resident of Aldovia as she prepared for her marriage to King Richard II, Amber objected to censorship of *Amber's Blog* by the Palace Office of Press and Protocol. The office, citing breach of royal protocol, had removed content, including the post *Christmas Spirit Has Overtaken the Palace,* without consulting the future queen. It is unknown whether the office objected to this content because of concerns that publicizing Christmas festivities may make the Royal Family seem out of touch with the country during a time of massive financial upheaval in connection with the New Aldovia Initiative scandal, or if it was simply felt the content was inappropriately personal and was not consistent with the solemn dignity and formality appertaining to the crown. Amber pressed the issue of journalistic independence with King Richard and ultimately continued her career as a blogger and investigative blogger without further censorship.
