About Their Highnesses

Their Royal Highnesses Ailgheanan and Amber are longtime friends and are looking forward to a wondrously happy experience serving Their kingdom as Heirs to the Meridian Throne. This is His Highness’ fourth time on the Thrones and Her Highness’ first but She’s been the Royal Chancellor for two reigns and served at a very high capacity for several others. Experience aside, They are grateful for the offers to help and will graciously accept all the kind assistance Their peoples are willing to give.

The theme for TRH and any future reign is Hiberno-Norse before the Norse lost power in Ireland at the Battle of Clontarf in 1014 – think Brian Boru Ireland with significant Norse synergies. We’re particularly drawn to the history of the Second Viking Age (914-980) but might favor 50 years or so later for the clothes – being serfs to fashion.

MSG, Sodium Nitrite, and Red Food Coloring*

Her Highness

 

*Her Highness has sensitivity (not true allergy) to these ingredients that result in migraines.  MSG and sodium nitrite are most often found in deli meats, hot dogs, briskets, soup stocks, and Chinese food.  For more information, Mistress Gabrielle has a list of some brands of bacons, sausages, and hot dogs that are free of these preservatives.  Red food coloring is easily avoided, but often appears in baking mixes and sweet drinks.
 

Her Highness’ Children

  

The royal family has graciously welcomed Her Highness’ children into the fold.  Her Highness and Lord Sveinn Thorbrandsson have three lovely daughters: Chloe (9), Regan (6), and Emily Grace (4). 

A chancellor will make advance arrangements with hosting event staff when the girls will be in attendance because of Chloe’s life threatening food allergy to egg.  She is anaphylactic by touch (not just ingestion) to all products containing it.  A pouch with (or near) her will always contain medical instructions, Benadryl, and an Epipen Jr.  Educating the populace is the best way to ensure her safety. 

Her Highness would be most grateful for the following consideration when this child is in attendance. 

  • Please refrain from offering Her Highness’ girls any food or drink without first speaking to Herself, their father Lord Sveinn, or their onsite nanny.
  • Please encourage children to wash their hands (or use a wet wipe) after eating since they are likely to be playing and touching shared equipment.  (hand sanitizer alone does not remove the egg allergen)

Want to know more about egg allergies?  “Avoidance is everything.”

  • Egg can be listed in several different ways on labels.  Common names include egg, ovo-anything, whites, yolks, meringue, lysozyme, surimi, and albumen.  There are also “processed on shared equipment” warnings that alert us egg could be present.
  • Egg is an ingredient in paints (tempera), cosmetics, soaps, shampoos, and woad.  The word albumen is used most often to identify egg in these non-food products.
