    If you’re anything like us, you took one look at King Charles’ new royal portrait and thought, “This looks like cover art for a Romantasy book.” The red-washed painting is perfect for a book about a lonely king falling in love with an elvish wizard, or a prince that gets turned into a butterfly by a witch and has to move in with his dad, or a simple love story between an aging general and a sentient blob of raspberry jelly.

    I think there are some bestsellers here! My advice to the royal family is to jump on this book trend and get these written and off to the printer ASAP.
