You are smart about this and give King Richard a way to save face

Not liking his tone, you place your hand on your hips, allowing your semi-hard, cum dripping cock to swing freely in front of the mostly naked father and daughter pair. "My Good King Richard, how do you plan on handling her announcement?"

He looks at you as he realizes that he just took his eldest daughter's eligibility away from her, thus making her your permanent fuck post. "What about it?"

"With all due respect, My Royal Companion, please use your wit. If we are to simply announce that she is not eligible for the crown, the Nobility will do what they do best; talk, speculate and spread rumors. They are going to speculate on why she is ineligible, and with rumors swirling around your 'familial taste', the most straightforward answer that will come to mind is that you claim her purity. And that wouldn't end there. If you are willing to do defiled one of your princesses, what will stop you from doing it with the rest? Lo, and behold, within a year, there will be rumors about how you fucked all your daughters and half the noble women of your country. No, we can't have that, not with our new alliance just forming. Thus we have to get out in front of it."

If you are to be honest, this isn't an easy problem to solve, as you quickly find flaws in every solution you come up with. You and King Richard just give each other blank stairs as you both think about what to say in the announcement. Both empty stairs continue until Princess Albertine says, "My good Kings, it's simple, just goad them."

You and her father both say, "Goad them?" simultaneously.

She shyly looks to the ground while saying, "Say that you're withdrawing me for the honor of both countries." She pauses for a second, watching the two of you contemplating her words, before continuing, "Where is the prestige of my father's throne if he sent all of his daughters to try become your Queen?"

"That's what he did though?“

"Yet, no one else really knows what happened here. As long as you agree with it, others will have to accept the explanation,"

You lean forward and kiss her head. "What a shame your father is an idiot and tried to kill me; with a mind like that, you would have made a great queen."

King Richard groans as he walks back toward the closet, prompting you to ask, "Where do you think you're going?"

King Richard "Back to the closet to sleep because I am assuming that you are going to make me be to one to make the announcement, so I can't return yet."
