The death of His Highness Prince Peter, brother-in-law to the former Emperor Terry I, was announced yesterday evening.
Prince Peter was married to Princess Julie, paternal aunt of Emperor Jonathan I and fourth in line to the Throne.
Although Prince Peter was a much loved member of the extended Imperial Family, he had no real involvement with Austenasia, and the Emperor has asked for the privacy of the family to be respected at this time.
Five days of national mourning have been declared, to last from Monday 15th until Friday 19th January.
