Lady Jaqueline Bianca Walker (born 12 May 2022) is the heir apparent to the dukedom of Valtoria and the former heir presumptive of the Cordonian throne. She is the daughter of Drake Walker, Duke of Valtoria, and Vanessa Walker, Duchess of Valtoria. Though not a relative of the Cordonian royal family, she was appointed by King Liam and confirmed by the noble court to act as heir presumptive–for the security and stability of the monarchy–until the King had a child of his own. She is the first person to serve as heir presumptive in a century and the first from commoner parents. Jacqueline served in that position for five months.

Lady Walker was born Jaqueline Bianca Walker at 00:01 UTC+02:00 on 12 May 2022 at the Cordonian Royal Palace in Cordonia C. D., Cordonia.[1] She is the daughter of Drake Walker, Duke of Valtoria, a Cordonian-American former disc jockey and Vanessa Walker, Duchess of Valtoria, née Vanessa Lopes, a former waitress from New York City.[2] She was named after former first lady of the United States Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis and her paternal grandmother Bianca Walker. Lady Walker descends paternally from the House of Walker in Cordonia and from the Walker family from the American state of Texas. Maternally she descends from the House of Beaumont in Ramsford and the Lopes family from The Bronx and is mixed-race, having African-American lineage from her maternal grandfather. She is also the first cousin once removed to Lisa Lopes, a member of the girl group TLC from Georgia.

Vanessa Lopes and Drake Walker are known as the Duke and Duchess of Valtoria, but on paper things read differently. According to the birth certificate obtained by People, the Cordonian birth certificate revealed standard information, including the girl's name (Lady Jacqueline Bianca Walker), sex (F), date (12 May 2022) and time (00:01) of birth and location of birth (Cordonian Royal Palace). For the names of the parents, Drake was listed as Drake Mitchell Walker. Meanwhile, Vanessa was listed as Vanessa Mae Lopes Walker. The use of no titles has raised eyebrows, but could also be a technicality.
