Early Life
Childhood
Diantha was born on August 27, 1985 to then-Queen Corisande and Vitosian actor, Aldo Silveira.
Queen Corisande’s relationship with Silveira had been the subject of much tabloid speculation due to the unusual, whirlwind nature of the romance. The two had only recently met in the summer of 1984 at the premiere of Silveria’s movie, Enemies Of The Sun, and by October 1984, the two had been photographed together in public as a couple. In late February 1985, the gossip magazine The Curian Buzz published photos of the two in Mytikala where it appeared as though the two had eloped.
This speculation was confirmed on March 8, 1985 when the couple appeared on the late-night talk show Between the Lines with Shay Cala. At the end of the interview, Queen Corisande also announced that she was expecting a child in early September. The interview broke records for viewership in Greater Furia Curia, with nearly 72% of households watching the initial airing of the interview and 79% tuning in to the subsequent rebroadcast on the morning of March 9, 1985.
The interview did nothing to lessen the rumor mill surrounding the couple, due to the fast-paced nature of their relationship. While Queen Corisande had confirmed that she would keeping all titles, including the Ptochoprodroma surname, and that Silveira would be styled as Royal Consort with no other official titles, speculation swirled around the legitimacy of the wedding -- and particularly, the legitimacy of what could be the future heir of Greater Furia Curia. While past monarchs had indeed married foreign nationals, or married commoners, none before had married a foreign national who was also a commoner. In addition to this, there were no laws codified that formalized the legitimacy of an heir that may have been conceived prior to wedlock - a detail which had not been confirmed in the case of Queen Diantha’s pregnancy, but was broadly speculated.
To assuage any doubts in the matter, the Ekklesía convened in May of 1985 to propose changes to the 1843 Royal Household Act as well as the Succession Act of 1950. After several weeks of debate and deliberation, the Royal Household and Succession Act of 1985 was passed, which amended previously established rules on legitimacy and succession.
Queen Corisande, who had been quite actively making public appearances during most of the summer of 1985, withdrew from the public eye in late July. She and her husband went to The Palace of Queens in Eftychiamos for the remainder of her pregnancy and subsequent birth.
