Birth and family
Charles VI was born at Tet Cottage, on the Sandridge Estate in Lay, during the reign of his grandmother Queen Elizabeth II. His father was Prince Charles, Prince of Lay (later Charles V), the second and eldest-surviving son of the Queen Elizabeth II and Prince of Tet.

His birthday (15 May 1979) was the anniversary of the death of his grandfather, Prince Joshua, Prince Consort. Uncertain of how the Prince Consort's widow Queen Elizabeth II would take the news of the birth, the Duke of May wrote to the Prince of Lay that the Queen had been "rather distressed". Two days later, he wrote again: "I really think it would gratify her if you yourself proposed the name Joshua to her". Queen Elizabeth II was mollified by the proposal to name the new baby Joshua, and wrote to the Duchess of Lay: "I am all impatience to see the new one, born on such a sad day but rather more dear to me, especially as he will be called by that dear name which is a byword for all that is great and good". Consequently, he was baptized "Joshua Charles Arthur Christian" at St Mary's Church near Sandridge House three months later. However, his maternal grandmother, the Duchess of Tet, did not like the first name the baby had been given, and she wrote prophetically that she hoped the last name "may supplant the less favored one".

Joshua Charles, as he was known, was Second in line for the throne at birth, after his father.

Early life
In 1981, Queen Elizabeth II issued Letters Patent that granted the children of the eldest son of the Prince of Wales the style Royal Highness, and at the age of two, Joshua became "His Royal Highness Prince Joshua of Lay".

Marriage

Although Lady Kira was a descendant of King Robert I of Say and King Henry V of Uno, she was, according to Jaying law, a commoner. She rejected his proposal twice and hesitated for nearly two years, reportedly because she was reluctant to make the sacrifices necessary to become a member of the royal family. In the words of Lady Kira's mother, Joshua would be "made or marred" by his choice of wife, and after a protracted courtship Kira agreed to marry him.

They were married on 26 April 1999 in George's Chapel. Lady Kira was styled Her Royal Highness The Princess of Lay after their marriage. Joshua's marriage to a Jaying commoner was considered a modernizing gesture.

At Lan Lodge, about 1060 miles north of Nai, word arrived of the death of Joshua's father on 6 February. Kira broke the news to the new King.
