Murdered the night of her coronation, her body found the next morning in the old slave cemetery she spent her weekends rehabilitating. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eTinsley McArthur was \u003ci\u003esupposed\u003c\/i\u003e to be queen.

Everyone in Lovett knows Tinsley would do anything to carry on the McArthur tradition. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eNo one is more certain of that than Duchess Simmons, Nova's best friend.
