Where did our favorite playboy go wrong? With Jack Benjamin implicated in the coup plot against his father, looks like Shiloh's prince is a falling star. And where does the palace shakeup leave Princess Michelle? It's unclear whether she or Queen Rose were supportive of Jack's taking the throne, but they were both present and accounted for at his coronation. Then again, who are the Princess and the Queen to miss a party?

Princess Michelle attended the handover of Port Prosperity with Shiloh moneyman Paul Lash but sources close to the Princess say that she's still hung up on David Shepherd, whom her father not only disapproved of, but also sentenced to death. But after the near assassination of the King and his return to Shiloh with David at his side, could it be that the boys in Michelle's life have made up? And will Michelle be able to forgive her dad and find her fairy tale ending? Keep reading. 200meters can't wait to find out, and tell you all about it!

With her former boyfriend, David Shepherd, behind bars, Princess Michelle has found solace in the arms of Shiloh moneyman, Paul Lash. The princess was spotted getting out of the royal motorcade in Port Prosperity with Mr. Lash, undoubtedly one of Shiloh's most eligible young bachelors, beaming at her side.

Longtime family friends, the pair piqued our curiosity on the First Night of the Royal Ballet and again during the Judgment Day proceedings when Lash poured some of his company funds into the princess's healthcare suit and other humanitarian causes.

With her bloodline and his bank account, has Michelle finally found a marriage-worthy match in Paul Lash?

Is it illegal to be that cute?

Eternal nice-guy David Shepherd has been accused of treason! Through a tip off at the Ministry of Information, Prince Jack is pressing charges against the handsome war hero, claiming that David's been a spy for Gath all along. Is Jack just jealous David beat him out in our Gorgeous Gilboans poll or could it actually be true!?

Shepherd has swept the country with his farm-boy heroism, charming the pants off Princess Michelle, who was shocked to hear the allegations - from her own brother, no less. King Silas is set to preside in the trial of the century. Will Daddy show mercy on her boyfriend or has he been driven mad by the fact that she's no longer his little girl?

After weeks of anticipation, and hints dropped that Prince Jack Benjamin was engaged, the perennial bachelor finally presented to the world his beautiful bride-to-be: UNN field reporter Lucinda Wolfson. The pair met when Miss Wolfson covered Judgment Day for the Unity News Network, but things didn't heat up right away. Wolfson attended the King's 60th birthday celebrations with the Prince at Altar Mansion, which stoked rumors of a serious relationship, but speculation dwindled until the couple's official appearance at their engagement party this week confirmed the rumors.

Described by her friends as "darling and sweet as a peach," Wolfson is the only daughter of Jeff Wolfson, one of the foremost motor vehicle manufacturers in Pella. Upon graduating from Shiloh University, Ms. Wolfson took an internship in broadcast news at the Unity News Network, where she has climbed the ranks to be one of the networks most recognizable faces.

Sources present at the engagement party said that Lucinda was beaming, "she looked the belle of the ball. Like she'd won the love lottery." But groom-to-be Prince Jack seemed a bit overwhelmed and it's unlike Jack to frown at a party. Was the Prince turned off by his mother's toast? Or was the Prince simply down about Katrina Ghent's untimely death - the two had been linked by more than work in the past.

Whatever it was that kept Jack from basking in the moment, we know that if we had Lucinda to look at until death do us part, we wouldn't be able to stifle a smile. Wolfson is such a fox!

Rumors are spreading like wildfire that Prince Jack is engaged - but to whom? In a press conference on the King's Energy Renewal Initiative, the press pried for details. But Jack only stated that, "After a lifetime of looking, [he'd] finally found the one for [him]."

Prince Jack's service in the King's military is well documented. But Gilboans know him best for his Party Prince rep. With late night brawls in Shiloh clubs and drunken binges in the Calsays, Jack Benjamin seemed destined to tarnish the pristine image of the royal family. But could that be about to change?

News now confirmed of his engagement has the whole country buzzing - who could his bride be? Over the years, the Prince has been linked to numerous models and socialites, including Angie Gordon, Frederica Stoff and most recently Claudia Loren. Could one of these beauties finally put an end to the Prince's playboy rep?

Ex-stripper stripped of title?

Unity Hall unveiled a mural of the King's ministers this week, but one familiar face was glaringly missing - the newest and blondest minister Katrina Ghent. Has Ghent been relieved of her duties at the Ministry of Information? Did her skirt suits get too short?

For months, rumors have been flying: how did she get a seat in the King's ministry anyway? We're not sure how stripping and modeling qualifies Miss Ghent, but she's gotten herself a seat quite close to the king... so what information are WE missing?

David Shepherd has been voted Gilboa's "Most Desirable Date." The Port Prosperity native has topped 200 Meters Gorgeous Gilboans poll, after readers chose him as the man they would most like to be wooed by.

Shepherd's sex appeal combined with his heroics in the Gath war, have secured him 27 percent of the vote. However, those hoping to land a date with Shepherd will be disappointed. He's been linked to the boss's daughter - Princess Michelle, although her office denies the rumor.

Royalty himself, Prince Jack Benjamin claimed second place, with 21 percent support. Prince Jack has been a constant in circles of the rich and famous, but lately, he's toned down his act. Is the party prince giving up his wild ways?

It's that time again! King Silas is set to celebrate his 60th birthday with the royal family and a star-studded guest list no more than 400 guests long. The black tie event is just one of many celebrations that will commemorate this milestone for the King. Every year, parties are held in his honor across the country and at embassies abroad - and this year will be no different.

This year's intimate gathering will take place in Altar Mansion's Wood Room and is said to include a seven-course meal, complete with champagne toast, surprise musical guest and fireworks display. A source inside the palace told 200 Meters that eleven massive ice sculptures had been carved in the likeness of Shiloh's skyline - a testament to the King's proudest achievement.

And according to a royal press release, King Silas and Queen Rose will welcome anyone who wants to bring the King a gift. But what to get the man who has everything? Rumors are that last year, one ass-kisser, er, "guest" gave Silas a private island. But the King donated it to charity.

Well-wishers have been asked to form a line outside the front gate of Altar Mansion. Palace security will be tight and lines are sure to wrap around the block so get there early!

Leave it to Princess Michelle to make health care reform fodder for the gossip column. Normally we'd snooze right through all that blah-blah-blah about universal health coverage. That is, until Princess Michelle enlisted hunky dreamboat Paul Lash - one of Gilboa's most-eligible bachelors--in her health care crusade. It seems that Michelle got Lash's company to back her health care suit; Minister Katrina Ghent chose it to replace the final case of this year's Judgment Day.

The Lashes have been longtime friends of the Benjamin family, so Paul is no stranger to life at court. But it was at the reception for First Night that he and Princess Michelle were first spotted together.

Just to be clear, we cannot confirm that the relationship is anything other than strictly business. But it's no use denying that Paul and the princess have chemistry together and truly are a power couple in the Boardroom. Better keep an eye on your girlfriend, David!

It doesn't take much to become a Minister these days. Not if we're taking a cue from Katrina Ghent. The former exotic dancer and centerfold model was appointed to the King's ministry as the Minister of Information.

Ghent has done her fair share of modeling but is probably best known for her marriage to elderly billionaire businessman J. Peter Ghent. They began a relationship while the future Mrs. Ghent was performing at Eden's, a strip club in Kardos. During their two-year affair, J. Peter lavished Katrina with gifts and proposed numerous times. At age 25, Katrina finally accepted and she and Ghent, 86, were married in Kardos. Surprise, surprise, the wags began to gossip about her marrying him for his money. Katrina ignored the talk, always saying that she loved her husband, and that age did not matter to her. Sixteen months after the wedding, J. Peter Ghent died, leaving Katrina his fortune.

From stripper to Minister in the Royal Court. Not bad for an ambitious girl who knows how to please powerful men...
