  1. Jullie zijn een prachtig keizerlijk paar. Blijf en steun elkaar steeds zoals jullie dat vroeger deden. De keizerin is de laatste tijd opengebloeid en kan terug lachen wat eigenlijk iedereen blij maakt. Misschien kan de opvolging et nog veranderd wirden
    Gelukkig nieuwjaar en veel blijdschap.
