For decades, Prince Roland of Arandale has kept remarkably quiet about his late sister, the legendary Queen Isolde. While others have written books, given interviews, and spoken at memorials, Roland remained silent — a shadowy figure in the background of royal history. But now, at the age of 61, he has finally broken his silence… and the revelations are anything but flattering.

In a candid interview that shocked both courtiers and the public, Roland described his relationship with the late Queen as “distant, cold, and often cruel.” He claimed that, behind the gilded doors of the palace, Isolde was less the benevolent monarch remembered by the people, and more a calculating ruler who cared little for her siblings.
“She was adored by the nation,” Roland admitted, “but to us, her family, she was a storm. Every decision she made was about appearances. Love and warmth were secondary — if they existed at all.”
The confession has sent shockwaves through Arandale. Queen Isolde, who passed away nearly two decades ago, has long been painted as the “Mother of the Nation,” her legacy one of compassion and unity. Roland’s words threaten to crack that flawless image wide open.
Critics are already divided. Some accuse Roland of bitterness and opportunism, waiting until he was safely in his sixties to “rewrite history.” Others applaud him for his bravery, insisting that the truth — no matter how uncomfortable — deserves to be heard.
Palace insiders, meanwhile, are scrambling. King Alaric, Isolde’s son and heir, is said to be “deeply wounded” by his uncle’s remarks, while Princess Helena is reportedly furious, calling Roland’s interview “a betrayal to the family and the people.”
Public reaction is explosive. Hashtags like #RolandSpeaks and #NotMyIsolde have dominated social media, with debates raging over whether the late Queen’s reputation has been unjustly tarnished or finally revealed for what it truly was.
As for Roland, he shows no sign of backing down. Sources claim he is preparing a memoir filled with even more “uncomfortable truths” about palace life. If the interview was the spark, the book could be the inferno.
For a family that has spent years carefully preserving Isolde’s legacy, Roland’s bombshell threatens to undo everything — leaving the nation to wonder: was their beloved Queen truly the saint she seemed, or has the mask finally slipped?
