Queen Wilhelminia used to be a princess (that's what her Dad always called her, and her Mom was the Queen) but one day she decided she wanted to be the Queen. She called her Mom to ask her to step down from the throne...after all she had been the Queen long enough. Her Mom said okay...she needed a break anyway.

"Party Queen" Wilhelminia is very creative. It is her favorite past time...she just loves to create.

AND...this is a true story!
