 * On July 15, 2019, the writers of the series/PB held an Instagram Live where they answered several fan questions and revealed a lot about what's to come in the book:
 * They confirmed that Riley would not get a backstory, as they wanted the player to be able to create their own backstory for her and live vicariously through her.
 * They also teased that Liam's last name would be revealed.
 * The book will contain about 19 chapters.
 * They already have the story planned up until book two, so it’s too late to change main points of the plot.
 * The second book for The Royal Heir is being worked on.
 * Originally, they wanted to do a separate book for each LI (so that the plot makes more sense) but they didn't have the resources, so they had to somehow make one plot for all routes.
 * The writers never made Olivia an LI because if they did, she would become too soft, and they did not want that for her.
 * The LIs you did not marry will NOT be finding their own LIs in the current book and even in the next book.
 * We will meet new characters.
 * We will also see new outfits for the rest of the gang.
 * They would not reveal when we would have the titular baby.
 * Riley will take a trip to America and we will learn our LI's favorite type of music.
 * When asked about Anton, they said he may or may not escape from jail.
 * The player and their LI will not embark on an open marriage, as that is too much work for them to write.
 * We can expect a lot of flashbacks.
 * It was always the plan to have this plot done in the series, but the form of it morphed and changed. It was originally intended to be an epilogue book and a few short chapters, but the writers ended up realizing that there was too much story to tell to not make another series.
 * Furthermore, with this, the player can decide if they want to have a baby or not by simply not playing, or playing, this series.
 * They teased a crossover with Rules of Engagement (we’ll see some characters from RoE).
 * Drake and Liam are probably the oldest; the group in general is in their middle/late 20′s, Bertrand is in his 30s.
 * On August 2, 2019, PB released a sneak peek for Chapter 7.
 * On August 16, 2019, PB released a sneak peek for Chapter 9.

Trivia

 * On the loading screen for The Royal Heir, the texts on the bottom of the screen contain fun facts related to the series, for example an ancient proverb in Cordonia that says that the Apple doesn't fall far before a Cordonian catches it. Examples of other series with similar facts are The Crown & The Flame and It Lives.
 * Chapter 5 makes a reference to famous singer Beyonce, when Your Character makes a joke about parties.
 * Chapter 7 contains a reference to Celine Dion's "My Heart Will Go On", if you choose Olivia to prank call Maxwell in a premium scene.
 * In Chapter 8, you have the choice to call Maxwell "Mad Maxwell". This results in a reference to Mad Max: Fury Road.
 * In the same chapter, Drake asks Hana to not call him "Texas Ranger" because of the series Walker, Texas Ranger and his last name Walker. Hana calls him "The Lone Wolf" instead - which is also a reference to said series, as it was inspired by a movie called Lone Wolf McQuade.
 * This is the second book to use a split screen, after Bachelorette Party.
 * In Chapter 16, Hana suggested names: Oswald, Valentina and the MC's name for the baby. If you select Valentina, she talks about an old Cordonian legend of a powerful queen and one of her fiercest companian was a warrior named Valentina. This is a reference to Valentina Greaves from The Crown & The Flame.
