THE EMPRESS MOTHER

Empress Mother Lucretia, Duchess of Tjorvenn, is the matriarch of the Imperial House of Antarctica and a living link to the Crown’s founding legacy. As the daughter of LeRoy Kincaid, the visionary who first claimed sovereignty over Antarctica in 1950, she carries forward the family’s generational commitment to stewardship, sovereignty, and peace.

As the wife of the former Emperor Richard I and mother of Emperor Alexander I, Empress Mother Lucretia has been a pillar of strength, wisdom, and grace within the Crown of Antarctica. Throughout her life, she has devoted herself to her family and to the enduring vision her father began — a vision now carried into a new era by her son.

Known for her quiet resilience, compassionate spirit, and deep connection to her heritage, Empress Mother Lucretia steps into her new role with dignity and purpose. As Empress Mother, she offers symbolic leadership, historical continuity, and counsel drawn from a lifetime of experience and devotion. Her presence remains a source of stability and inspiration both within the imperial family and across the realm.

The Empress Mother and Prince Richard, the former Emperor, adopted the children of Lucretia's sister Annette:

• Her Serene Highness, Princess Jennifer, Baroness of Skarnvyr

• His Serene Highness, Prince William, Count of Bryndahl
