However, problems started arising. 

The scandal caused by Crown Princess Maria was one of the biggest events in the history of the Royal Family. Her decision to open a fashion academy in the heart of the city was viewed as a bold move by some, but many saw it as a sign of her rebellious nature. Her choice of clothing only added to the controversy. The press labeled her dress as "outrageous," and some members of society were deeply offended by what they saw as a breach of royal protocol. The public was divided in their opinion of her, with some supporting her right to express herself, while others felt that she was flaunting her status.

As the Princess continued to attract attention, rumors began to circulate about her having an affair with a married Palace servant. Paparazzi followed them relentlessly, and the rumors persisted until the Palace announced the servant's divorce. A few days later, Crown Princess Maria made an official appearance with Antonio Teheura, announcing their engagement. While the Royal Family didn't issue any official statement, it was clear that the King had given his approval to the match.

Despite the engagement, many felt that Crown Princess Maria was risking her position with these scandals, and some believed that she should be removed from the line of succession. However, these concerns were swept aside when Crown Princess Maria and Antonio Teheura were married in a private ceremony at the Palace. The news of the wedding broke when the Royal Family released a picture of the couple, along with the announcement that Antonio had been given the Royal Title of Duke. This further divided public opinion, with some supporting the Crown Princess, while others strongly criticized her for her actions.

Shortly after the wedding, Crown Princess Maria announced her pregnancy, and the people of New Crest eagerly awaited the arrival of the new royal baby. However, before the birth could take place, tragedy struck when King Giuseppe I died. His son, Crown Prince Alberto, announced the news, and the country went into mourning.

During the funeral, Crown Princess Maria's choice of clothing once again sparked controversy. Many felt that her see-through dress was inappropriate for such a solemn occasion, and criticized her for bringing shame to the monarchy. After the ceremony, the Royal House released a picture of Crown Prince Alberto, Princess Consort Alessandra, and Princess Noemi. However, Crown Princess Maria was notably absent from the photo. The Royal Correspondent initially cited a scheduled appointment with the royal doctors as the reason for her absence, but rumors circulated that there had been a fight due to her funeral dress, and that she had refused to appear in the picture. While some saw Crown Princess Maria's behavior as irresponsible, others felt that she was simply expressing her individuality in a world that demanded conformity. Her legacy remains a subject of debate to this day, but there is no denying the impact she had on the Royal Family and the people of New Crest.
