The Portuguese Royal Office announced today the intention of HRH, King Duarte Pio to visit London. This would be the Monarch's first trip outside the nation in several years
Duarte Pio boarded his jet at Lisbon international and got ready to head to London. The King looked forward to the trip, short though it may be. He then looked over at his secretary, "Carlota, get in contact with Muufu and see about the possibility of a visit there. I think it's high time we started forming some strong alliances." As the jet took off the Monarch poured himself a drink and settled in for his arrival in London.

The Royal Jet landed at Heathrow airport at about noon London time. Dom Duarte Pio disembarked from the plane along with his wife, Isabel, who appears much younger than he. As the awaiting press started snapping photos the two began waving, politely, to the crowd as they made their way towards the awaiting transportation.
Dom Duarte eagerly shook hands with the King, "It is quite a pleasure to be here, I look forward to seeing your magnificent country and possibly strengthening the ties that already exist between your country and mine."
The King and his wife got into the awaiting vehicle and sat back to enjoy the ride. Dom Duarte looked out the window and gathered his thoughts for the upcoming visit to the British Parliament.
The King continued,"Prime Minister, I would like to put on the table with you an offer to strengthen our already longstanding ties. As you are no doubt aware relations between our countries go as far back as the middle ages; when English crusaders on the way to the Holy Land helped our then King, Afonso Henriques, retake Lisbon from the Moors. My Prime Minister and I are convinced that both our nations would benefit from further uniting our causes."
"That is our feeling exactly, Mr. Prime Minister", the King replied, "We would propose first constructing an Anglo-Lusosphere free trade zone. Such an agreement would have worldwide reach for our two nations. Oil from Brazil and Angola who together produce 4,527,000 bbl/day, natural gas and coal from Mozambique, spices from the Muluku Islands. We would also like to suggest, in the military area, opening our ports to each other and base sharing. you would gain ports in South America and Africa, we would gain ports in North America. You would gain places to train soldiers in Jungle and Desert warfare, we would gain an area to train for sub-arctic conditions."
