This alliance is particularly interesting given the fact that we are visiting in the land of Indian Rajs and Maharaji. Perhaps if we traced the blood lines back with enough care and accuracy, we might even discover that these are her ancestral homelands, and that she still has right of succession ... or maybe not. In any case, dreams are cheap and hope springs eternal.
