Yes, someone probably came up with 16 act play to explain that too.
It's pretty straightforward, if you are actually interested.
Of course you know from the prequels that Bail Organa knows. He left a message for Leia in the event of his death and had it sealed to the royal family. It was not stored on Alderaan. Leia has never much cared about her royal title, and she abdicates her meaningless royal title to stay focused on her political work. The woman who takes the title gets access to the royal archives and hears Bails message meant for Leia. She initially actually intends to keep it a secret herself, but when Leia's investigation threatens to reveal the First Orders hidden army base, she decides that her political aspirations are more important than her royal duties, and releases the recording to the entire senate.
It's a very well written book, and I highly recommend it if you actually like these characters and enjoy political drama, as it's very faithful to Leia and the original trilogy.
It's called Bloodlines by Claudia Grey.
Also, the OT has always been a giant soap opera...space opera....whatever. This isn't new.
