00:00:00X-Men
00:00:29X-Men
00:00:59Might I suggest Prince Desmond and Princess Coralina for the time being?
00:01:05Would that be amenable, Your Highness?
00:01:06Yes, excellent suggestion, Your Highness.
00:01:08Wonderful.
00:01:09Please go ahead.
00:01:10Very well, Prince Desmond.
00:01:12Would you raise your chin every so?
00:01:18Could I possibly get a touch-up?
00:01:20Sir, I've drafted an article for the media.
00:01:29Clear, please.
00:01:30Looks good.
00:01:32After some intros, it reads,
00:01:34The Royal Houses of the Monarchy of Vostieri and the Kingdom of Androbia announce the merging of their royal lines with the engagement of the Crown Princess Coralina Eugenia of Vostieri to Crown Prince Desmond Carlisle.
00:01:51Both Houses hope this joyous occasion will forge a path towards reunification, thus easing centuries-old tensions regarding the ownership of the Arsenian province.
00:02:03Yes, that's fine, although we should perhaps include something about the date, say that the wedding takes place in two months.
00:02:07Oh, and perhaps a cheerful mention of the historical and beautiful Castle Eloris, the location of the Naptuels.
00:02:14Both prized suggestions.
00:02:16Princess Coralina, perhaps you could move your hand into his arms so that we can see the Elora Alexandrite.
00:02:23Quite. May I?
00:02:26Here we go.
00:02:31Perfect.
00:02:32I believe we have it.
00:02:37Everything all right there, little?
00:02:54Never better, sir.
00:02:55Merely attending to something that was crying out to be done.
00:02:58You seem a little upset by this turn of events.
00:03:00I find this deeply offensive for two reasons, sir.
00:03:04Firstly, it is a breach of protocol of the highest order.
00:03:06And secondly, if royalty cannot be expected to hold their commitments, what example does that set for the rest of us?
00:03:12But here I am, not attending to your heartbreak after such treacherous perfidy.
00:03:18How you must feel having a fiancé so callously break off your engagement by eloping with a...
00:03:25a plumber.
00:03:26You must be devastated.
00:03:28As devastated as one can be about someone they've only met two and a half times, I suppose.
00:03:32How can one meet someone half a time?
00:03:34Oh, there was a video call, kept freezing.
00:03:36Very awkward.
00:03:37Oh.
00:03:42Do try to keep in mind, Edwin, that this marriage was purely a diplomatic union to shore up political relations between the two countries.
00:03:49It was arranged by her grandfathers long before we were even born.
00:03:52I do worry, though, without the merger of the two houses where this territorial dispute might lead.
00:03:57Still, at least she returned the ring promptly.
00:04:00Please make sure that gets back to the royal vault.
00:04:02Of course, sir. Your parents are expecting you at breakfast.
00:04:05Be warned. Your father is not taking this as calmly as you, sir.
00:04:12Betrayal! Utter betrayal! This is an outright provocation!
00:04:17I hardly think it's up there with the killing of Archduke Franz Ferdinand, father.
00:04:21Sorry, darling. Who's been killed?
00:04:24Our student fellow, Mama of World War I.
00:04:26Oh. If things get worse, I'm sure the Vostieres could blame us for that, too.
00:04:31Although one might wonder how much this is political and how much this is personal.
00:04:38Moncarr, were you not once friends with King Winston?
00:04:42Well, that was when we were schoolboys.
00:04:44Which seems entirely beside the point.
00:04:47His daughter has pushed us to the very brink.
00:04:51Father, it's eight o'clock in the morning.
00:04:54I entreat you to find a diplomatic solution to this and try to think of a plan B.
00:04:58Oh.
00:05:18Princess Coralina's elopement was most untimely.
00:05:22Not sure what we're going to do now.
00:05:24It's just too bad that our Royal Air Force consists of two helicopters and the private jet.
00:05:30We won't be going to war, Edwin, if I can help it.
00:05:35There has to be a better solution.
00:05:41Didn't Princess Coralina have a younger sister?
00:05:44I believe so, Linus.
00:05:47Yes, I recall now.
00:05:49Princess Beatrix.
00:05:50She dropped out of sight after some public blowback to a picture in the press.
00:05:54Oh, yes.
00:05:55Yeah, I remember that picture, actually.
00:05:57If you scroll down, you'll notice there's a great deal of commentary on her appearance.
00:06:00Shouldn't last.
00:06:01The poor child was absolutely crucified.
00:06:02No wonder she disappeared.
00:06:03It was 20 years ago now.
00:06:09Do you want me to track her down, sir?
00:06:12Arrangements for a Royal Wedding back underway.
00:06:16Do you know, I can't think of a better solution.
00:06:18You'll be asking her to make a great sacrifice.
00:06:21I know.
00:06:21Not as big a sacrifice as we would be asking our subjects to make
00:06:26if our fathers can't put aside centuries of grievances.
00:06:30Do it.
00:06:35Let's just hope she's not secretly dating the palace electrician.
00:06:41I'm hideous.
00:06:42Don't come in.
00:06:44I'm sure it's not that bad.
00:06:45Oh, trust me.
00:06:46It's an absolute disaster.
00:06:49I'm using my key.
00:06:52Big meeting today.
00:06:53We are so gonna land it.
00:06:55Oh, man.
00:06:56It smells awful in here.
00:06:57What happened?
00:06:58Why is it so dark?
00:07:00We need some light in this situation.
00:07:02Honey.
00:07:11I am really sorry that this is happening.
00:07:18But I gave you the entire weekend to be a puddle.
00:07:22I even gave you my emergency breakup kit.
00:07:24It was an emergency.
00:07:26It was a breakup.
00:07:27It's in the name.
00:07:29I mean, Jared dumped me.
00:07:32By text.
00:07:32Ugh.
00:07:35For a reality show influencer.
00:07:39Well, I know.
00:07:41And he's a really big jerk.
00:07:44And has no idea what he lost.
00:07:46Well, what do we tell our girls?
00:07:48We are women of substance.
00:07:49And we overcome substantial challenges.
00:07:52Good girl.
00:07:53Now, I know this is bad timing,
00:07:55but we have that final presentation
00:07:56to the Brahmin League this morning.
00:07:58Yeah.
00:07:58And you know that this investment
00:07:59can secure our program for the next two years.
00:08:01I know.
00:08:02Yeah.
00:08:02Where's your phone?
00:08:03I need to double check the address.
00:08:04Oh, I don't exactly know where it is.
00:08:07I was afraid I'd misery dial Jared.
00:08:08So probably between the pint of ice cream
00:08:10and the two boxes of Milk Duds.
00:08:12Okay.
00:08:13Calling it.
00:08:17Oh, now I remember.
00:08:27Here.
00:08:29Uh, you have two dozen missed calls
00:08:32from the same number.
00:08:32Is it Jared?
00:08:33Realizing he made a terrible mistake?
00:08:35No.
00:08:36Uh, it is plus 56.
00:08:39That's a foreign prefix.
00:08:40You don't suppose there's a prince
00:08:41who needs your help getting millions of dollars
00:08:43out of the country, right?
00:08:44Anyway, we should get you into the shower
00:08:48because we don't want the villagers
00:08:49to come with the pitchforks and the torches.
00:08:51Well, it's Boston.
00:08:52There's no villagers.
00:08:53We have Bruins fans.
00:08:54Oh, same thing.
00:08:55Less forgiving.
00:09:03Uh, it's that same number calling.
00:09:05Do you want me to get it?
00:09:05I love messing with scammers.
00:09:07Oh, uh, no, you're good.
00:09:08Um, do you want to make us some coffees?
00:09:10Yeah, sure.
00:09:11Okay.
00:09:15Hello?
00:09:17Who was it?
00:09:23Uh, you called it.
00:09:25Nigerian prince wants my help.
00:09:26But he works in Bitcoin now.
00:09:30Fancy.
00:09:31I'll call us an Uber.
00:09:32How long?
00:09:36Uh, it says it should be here.
00:09:38Oh, okay.
00:09:43Uh, is that guy watching us
00:09:46through binoculars?
00:09:49Uh, is this another bird watcher?
00:09:53Yeah.
00:09:54Burning is very hip right now.
00:10:02The Allied STEM Foundation for Young Women
00:10:10not only provides vital education
00:10:12and mentoring in STEM coursework
00:10:14for underserved girls,
00:10:15but we also teach leadership skills
00:10:17through workshops
00:10:18such as emotional intelligence,
00:10:20communication styles,
00:10:21and conflict resolution.
00:10:23This generous grant from the Brahmin League
00:10:25would be so beneficial.
00:10:26You wouldn't just be making a difference
00:10:28in the lives of these young women.
00:10:30You'd be investing in the future.
00:10:38I couldn't tell if Mrs. Standish
00:10:40loved or hated us.
00:10:42She was as expressive as dried concrete.
00:10:43You know, she reminded me
00:10:44of my paternal grandmother.
00:10:46She always did this thing where she...
00:10:47Don't look,
00:10:48but I think that same guy
00:10:51is across the park.
00:10:53Which guy?
00:10:53I told you not to look.
00:10:55Chloe, out of curiosity,
00:10:56how many true crime documentaries
00:10:57did you watch this weekend?
00:10:59Maybe half of one
00:11:00while I was doing laundry.
00:11:01Okay, three.
00:11:03But I swear that guy followed us here.
00:11:07Okay, well, let's, um...
00:11:09Let's just turn the corner.
00:11:10Good plan.
00:11:12Hmm.
00:11:14I'll send a simple handwritten
00:11:15thank you note
00:11:16and leave it at that.
00:11:17Ooh, breaking out the stationary.
00:11:19I like it.
00:11:19Very classy.
00:11:20Well, we just don't want her
00:11:21to think we're desperate.
00:11:22Aren't we desperate, though?
00:11:23No.
00:11:25We'll get it in a couple of months
00:11:25and we'll be desperate adjacent.
00:11:27Ha!
00:11:27Uh, I know you think
00:11:39I'm being paranoid,
00:11:40but there is a black van
00:11:42following us.
00:11:43No, no, don't turn around.
00:11:45Jeez, you would be
00:11:45the worst spy ever.
00:11:46Um, well, I'm sure there's
00:11:49no reason to panic
00:11:50just yet.
00:11:53Uh, why don't we cut through here?
00:11:55We are definitely being followed.
00:11:57I should have really, really,
00:11:58really paid those parking tickets.
00:12:01Oh, wait!
00:12:02It went past!
00:12:03Okay, we're good.
00:12:04We'll just cross the street up here
00:12:05and cut through the park
00:12:06to the office.
00:12:07Okay.
00:12:08Mom!
00:12:09My mom was right.
00:12:10I moved to the big city
00:12:11and now we're gonna end up
00:12:12on a date line.
00:12:13Okay, we'll just go the other way.
00:12:14Okay.
00:12:16This is real!
00:12:17We're gonna get kidnapped
00:12:18or murdered.
00:12:19We're kidnapped and murdered!
00:12:20Ah!
00:12:21Okay.
00:12:23I think I'm the one they want.
00:12:24You'll be fine.
00:12:25Just stay back.
00:12:26You will not get through
00:12:27to my friend
00:12:28unless you go through me first.
00:12:30Hi-yah!
00:12:31Wait, what is happening?
00:12:51It's okay.
00:12:52I just need to go with them.
00:12:56Well, I'm not letting you
00:12:57get kidnapped without me!
00:12:58Take the next left.
00:13:01B, what's going on?
00:13:03Uh, I'm not exactly sure.
00:13:05Votre Vitesse,
00:13:06je vous assure,
00:13:07ce n'est pas un enlèvement.
00:13:08Je comprends merci.
00:13:09Okay, that.
00:13:11Since when do you speak French?
00:13:12Okay, there are some details
00:13:13I never told you
00:13:15about me and my family.
00:13:17You said your family was boring.
00:13:18Wait.
00:13:20Are they in the mafia?
00:13:22Have you been lying to me?
00:13:23No, they're not in the mafia
00:13:24and no, I haven't lied to you.
00:13:26And yes, my family is boring,
00:13:28just in a very specific way.
00:13:30Like, my mother, she's...
00:13:31You said she's a housewife
00:13:33who does volunteer work.
00:13:34Which is true.
00:13:35It's just that her house
00:13:36is kind of a palace
00:13:38and she's kind of
00:13:39the queen there.
00:13:41Okay, so your mom is fancy
00:13:42and you guys have a big house.
00:13:45No, it's really a palace.
00:13:47Palace.
00:13:47But you said your dad
00:13:48was a government administrator.
00:13:49Right.
00:13:50It's just that my father
00:13:52is also
00:13:53the king
00:13:55of Vastieri.
00:13:57Which is technically
00:13:58an administrative position.
00:14:00So you're not B. Halstead.
00:14:02No, no, I still am
00:14:03your best friend
00:14:04from sophomore year.
00:14:05It's just
00:14:06my full name is
00:14:07Beatrix Ileana Halstin
00:14:09von Lenmore or Jean.
00:14:11But some people
00:14:12refer to me as
00:14:13Princess Beatrix.
00:14:15That makes me
00:14:16the bestie
00:14:17of Princess Beatrix
00:14:19of...
00:14:20How do you pronounce
00:14:21your country's name again?
00:14:31Oh, thank you.
00:14:33Are you sure
00:14:34you're a princess though?
00:14:36Because we like boxed wine.
00:14:38Also, we go to
00:14:38that discount pedicure place.
00:14:40So you don't sound
00:14:41like a princess.
00:14:42I took a year
00:14:42of intense diction classes
00:14:44to master your accent.
00:14:45Accent?
00:14:46I don't have an accent.
00:14:50Do I?
00:14:53Votre Altesse,
00:14:54pourriez-vous rester ici
00:14:55s'il vous plaît.
00:15:01Wow.
00:15:02Do you think
00:15:02this is one of those
00:15:03kidnappings
00:15:03where we can get
00:15:04room service?
00:15:05We haven't actually
00:15:05been kidnapped.
00:15:06Oh, but when I tell
00:15:07the story,
00:15:08and I will tell the story,
00:15:09there will be
00:15:09kidnapping involved.
00:15:15Your Highness,
00:15:16I don't think
00:15:17he's the one
00:15:17you say that to.
00:15:18Your Royal Highness,
00:15:19it is my honour
00:15:20to introduce to you
00:15:21Prince Desmond,
00:15:22Crown Prince of Androvia.
00:15:24Seriously?
00:15:29Wow.
00:15:29Your Royal Highness,
00:15:31it is our great honour
00:15:34to make your acquaintance.
00:15:35Certainly.
00:15:38The pleasure is all ours,
00:15:39Your Majesty.
00:15:41May we present our companion,
00:15:43Miss Chloe Hargraves.
00:15:44Miss Hargraves,
00:15:45an honour to make
00:15:46your acquaintance as well.
00:15:47Likewise, I'm sure
00:15:48your gracious Majesty,
00:15:49Sire,
00:15:49that's not a thing.
00:15:50Okay, I panicked.
00:15:51We've been trying
00:15:52throughout the weekend,
00:15:53Princess,
00:15:53to make contact with you
00:15:54through phone calls
00:15:55and email.
00:15:56We were inconvenient
00:15:57as of the weekend
00:15:58and not accepting
00:16:00correspondence.
00:16:00Understood.
00:16:01Well, then perhaps
00:16:02we might confirm
00:16:03more privately now.
00:16:06Prince Desmond,
00:16:07um,
00:16:09since we are outnumbered
00:16:10and at a political
00:16:11disadvantage,
00:16:12we would insist
00:16:13that our friend
00:16:14bear witness to
00:16:14whatever conversation
00:16:16shall ensue.
00:16:17Very well.
00:16:19Since the dissolution
00:16:21of a united Vestrovia
00:16:22some 300 years ago,
00:16:24there has been
00:16:24an ongoing dispute
00:16:26regarding rightful ownership
00:16:27of the Alcinian province
00:16:28and the castle Allura.
00:16:30It is our hope
00:16:31that Her Highness
00:16:32is aware of elevated tensions
00:16:33between Androvia
00:16:34and Vostieri
00:16:35on this matter.
00:16:36Is it the intention
00:16:37of His Highness
00:16:38to educate us
00:16:39on the history
00:16:41and situation
00:16:42in our own homeland?
00:16:43Well, given that
00:16:44Her Highness
00:16:45has been absent
00:16:45from her royal duties
00:16:46for some 20 years,
00:16:48one was not to presume
00:16:49anything about
00:16:49what sort of connection
00:16:50she may or may not have
00:16:52with Vostieri.
00:16:53As a matter of fact,
00:16:54we are fully aware
00:16:54of the Crown Prince's
00:16:55failed engagement
00:16:56to our sister,
00:16:57Coralina.
00:16:58May we offer
00:16:58our belated congratulations
00:17:00and condolences.
00:17:02How very kind
00:17:02of you, Your Highness.
00:17:03Although perhaps
00:17:03that failure
00:17:04is a matter best discussed
00:17:05with one's own sister.
00:17:07And when doing so,
00:17:08please do extend
00:17:08our heartiest congratulations
00:17:10on her recent nuptials
00:17:11to a plumber,
00:17:13I believe.
00:17:13Indeed.
00:17:14It will be so lovely
00:17:15having a member
00:17:15of the royal family
00:17:16who actually
00:17:16has a useful skill.
00:17:18But I doubt
00:17:19His Majesty
00:17:19came all this way
00:17:20to discuss
00:17:20failed engagements.
00:17:22We can't help
00:17:23but wonder
00:17:23if there is perhaps
00:17:24a point
00:17:25to this meeting.
00:17:26Indeed there is.
00:17:27In fact,
00:17:27the entire point
00:17:28of the aforementioned
00:17:29failed engagement
00:17:30was to form
00:17:31an alliance
00:17:32through marriage
00:17:33between the ruling houses
00:17:34of Duvalier
00:17:35and Vostieri
00:17:36in the hopes
00:17:36that we might form
00:17:37a legitimate path
00:17:38towards reunited
00:17:39Vestrovia
00:17:40and thus prevent
00:17:41further escalation
00:17:42of tensions.
00:17:43Understood.
00:17:43But since that plan
00:17:44did not come to fruition
00:17:45we are loath
00:17:46to consider
00:17:46what alternative
00:17:48might be proposed.
00:17:49Interesting choice
00:17:50of verbiage.
00:17:59Perhaps
00:18:00in the light
00:18:01of the state
00:18:01of this meeting
00:18:02His Highness
00:18:04may prefer
00:18:05not to proceed.
00:18:07His Highness
00:18:08has very little choice.
00:18:13since Princess Coralina
00:18:22was required
00:18:23to abdicate
00:18:24her claim to the throne
00:18:25by marrying a commoner
00:18:26it would seem
00:18:27that you are now
00:18:28crown princess
00:18:29and as crown prince
00:18:31of Androvia
00:18:31it is my great honor
00:18:34to most graciously
00:18:35seek your hand
00:18:36in marriage.
00:18:37So that happened.
00:19:04Okay, what is
00:19:06with all the accents?
00:19:07I've known you
00:19:07for 20 years
00:19:08have you been
00:19:08pretending this
00:19:09whole time?
00:19:10Who's the real you?
00:19:11This is Bea
00:19:12your best friend
00:19:13since college.
00:19:15This is
00:19:17Princess Beatrix
00:19:18Eliana Halston
00:19:19von Lindbergh
00:19:19of Jard
00:19:20of Vostieri
00:19:20and I suppose
00:19:23this is me
00:19:25Beatrix
00:19:26who is also
00:19:28in a bit of a pickle.
00:19:29It must be exhausting
00:19:30to be all
00:19:31of those people
00:19:31just be you.
00:19:33Thank goodness.
00:19:34Besides
00:19:34I don't think
00:19:35you're in a pickle.
00:19:36Friday
00:19:36your boyfriend
00:19:37dumps you by text
00:19:38and then Monday
00:19:39another guy
00:19:40flies 2,000 miles
00:19:41to propose to you
00:19:42and not just
00:19:43any other guy
00:19:44a crown prince
00:19:45proposed to you.
00:19:46Best rebound ever
00:19:48and you turn him down cold.
00:19:49You truly are a girl boss.
00:19:53Ugh, Androvians
00:19:54they're so pushy
00:19:55and arrogant.
00:19:56I bet it was
00:19:57his grandfather
00:19:57who came up
00:19:58with the age-old solution
00:19:59of intermarriage
00:19:59in the first place.
00:20:00Is that really
00:20:01the only option?
00:20:02My sister says
00:20:03there's a summit
00:20:03between our two kingdoms
00:20:04in a few days
00:20:05so surely my father
00:20:06will come up
00:20:06with a better solution
00:20:07than marrying me off
00:20:09to some polo-playing prince.
00:20:10Is there a chance
00:20:11that maybe you're
00:20:12judging him
00:20:13a little bit harshly?
00:20:19Look at this.
00:20:21Okay.
00:20:22There he is
00:20:23looking princely
00:20:24and wait
00:20:25is that your sister?
00:20:27She's so pretty.
00:20:28Right?
00:20:28Yeah, I've only heard
00:20:29that my whole childhood.
00:20:31Your sister's so pretty.
00:20:32Touched a nerve,
00:20:33did we?
00:20:33Sorry.
00:20:35But that's not
00:20:35the photo I'm talking about.
00:20:37It's um
00:20:37it's this one.
00:20:40This one
00:20:41and this one
00:20:41and this one
00:20:42Okay,
00:20:44I don't think
00:20:44I've actually ever seen
00:20:45anyone playing polo before.
00:20:47Do you remember
00:20:47in college
00:20:48when we vowed
00:20:49never to date a golf bro?
00:20:51Ugh, golf.
00:20:51Well, polo bros,
00:20:53they're like
00:20:53a hundred times worse.
00:20:54I'm sure
00:20:55he's the type
00:20:56who never shuts up about it.
00:20:57He looks pretty cute
00:20:58on a horse, though.
00:21:01Oh, the Vostiaries,
00:21:02they're all so
00:21:03pushy and arrogant.
00:21:04One might have thought
00:21:05that the princess
00:21:06would have been
00:21:07much more appreciative
00:21:08given all the trouble
00:21:09you've gone to.
00:21:10I mean,
00:21:10haven't I kept
00:21:11a low profile?
00:21:11Indeed,
00:21:12just the private jet.
00:21:13Skeletal staff.
00:21:14Of twelve?
00:21:15I've taken all the trouble
00:21:16to come here
00:21:16completely incognito
00:21:18and meet this rogue princess
00:21:19to offer her
00:21:20the only way
00:21:21that I can see
00:21:22out of a dire situation
00:21:23only to be informed
00:21:24that she is inconvenienced.
00:21:25In my opinion, sir,
00:21:27when she said
00:21:28she must politely decline,
00:21:29I didn't think
00:21:30she was being that polite.
00:21:37Then again, sir,
00:21:39it seems your father
00:21:40has agreed to a summit
00:21:41meeting with King Winston.
00:21:43Perhaps clearer heads
00:21:44will prevail at last.
00:21:45One can only hope, Edwin.
00:21:46Watch out guys
00:21:48and play our first
00:21:52on watching and terceiro
00:21:52and Pariah
00:22:00in the room on Sunday.
00:22:01I love you.
00:22:01Very ORinnen,
00:22:02I love you.
00:22:03Here's my son.
00:22:04Here's a talent.
00:22:05I love you.
00:22:05There's a talent.
00:22:06No?
00:22:06There's a talent.
00:22:07I love you.
00:22:08There's a talent.
00:22:09They love you.
00:22:10There's a talent.
00:22:11There's a talent.
00:22:11There's a talent.
00:22:12Witchman, it's been ages since I've seen you in person.
00:22:39And yet somehow not long enough.
00:22:42You're looking so much older.
00:22:45Some of us are comfortable in our own skin.
00:22:48Speaking of your skin, I'm sure Lupinia would love the name of your plastic surgeon.
00:22:53Johanneses, might I suggest we start with an official photograph?
00:22:58Happy to.
00:22:59Certainly.
00:23:00Might I suggest as well shaking of hands?
00:23:07Why, Winston, your handshake feels just as weak as when we were boys in boarding school.
00:23:19Would you say as weak as your economic recovery?
00:23:22Or as weak as your foreign policy?
00:23:24Well, certainly nothing could be as weak as your central bank.
00:23:29That bad, huh?
00:23:31I told Papa not to let King Richmond push his buttons.
00:23:36Papa said he's not a machine.
00:23:39He doesn't have buttons.
00:23:40It's never been great with metaphors.
00:23:43We are quite a literal people.
00:23:45Well, since the summit was a failure, that does leave you in a rather delicate position,
00:23:51Monchu.
00:23:52If you were to reconsider and accept the Prince's proposal, it might help settle things.
00:23:58But until there could be a diplomatic solution.
00:24:00I realize I have no room to tell you what to do.
00:24:03And I'm so sorry I didn't give you any warning before my elopement, but it was sudden and crazy
00:24:10and perhaps the first unpremeditated selfish thing I've ever done.
00:24:15Are you having regrets?
00:24:16Are you kidding?
00:24:18This is the happiest I've been in my entire life.
00:24:23Je suis très content pour toi.
00:24:25I won't begrudge you that.
00:24:26I'm not thrilled by the change in my situation, but, um...
00:24:30You've allowed me to live a very private life for a very long time.
00:24:33I suppose I could reconsider and accept his proposal, but only in the hopes that we can
00:24:39come to a better solution.
00:24:40You are being most gracious about all of this.
00:24:43I just want you to know it's not lost on me, Frangine.
00:24:48I appreciate that.
00:24:51Somebody got croissants from Monaco!
00:24:53Um, I've got to go, but please give my love to Mommy and Papa, okay?
00:24:59When you used to say that your sister was a princess, I thought she was just spoiled.
00:25:04But now that I know she's an actual princess, it's kinda weird.
00:25:07Things are definitely weird, and the summit?
00:25:09Not a success.
00:25:10So does that mean you're reconsidering the engagement?
00:25:12I think I have to.
00:25:13Come on, what do we tell our girls?
00:25:16Once we decide what needs to be done, we do it.
00:25:19Cheers.
00:25:26I love you, I love you.
00:25:29Cheers.
00:25:30Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh.
00:25:37Everybody's watching.
00:25:45Everybody's waiting.
00:25:50Oh.
00:25:53Greetings, Your Highness.
00:25:55Princess Desmond is momentarily detained.
00:25:58I see.
00:25:59Are we sure this isn't one of those things where I'm to be kept waiting as a subtle power play?
00:26:04Honestly, Your Highness, do you read this much into every interaction?
00:26:08Only ones this fraught.
00:26:09How refreshingly blunt you are.
00:26:11And how craftily ironic you are.
00:26:13Yeah, I don't know if this is an attempt to intimidate me or charm me.
00:26:17It is my attempt to cut through the royal double talk.
00:26:20If it's charm you're looking for, you have the wrong sister.
00:26:25Welcome.
00:26:26Would Your Highness care to join us?
00:26:30Uh, are we meeting in your bedroom?
00:26:34Oh, goodness, no.
00:26:36We thought we might have supper on the balcony with Your Highness.
00:26:40Indeed.
00:26:42But in the interest of direct communication, may we please stop speaking in the royal we?
00:26:49Yes, we can.
00:26:52I mean, yes, you and I can.
00:26:56Please.
00:27:12Um, thank you.
00:27:14Oh, no, wait.
00:27:21Sorry, I'm confused.
00:27:22I was told that you had reconsidered my proposal.
00:27:25Well, yes, in light of the failure of the recent summit, I find myself so inclined.
00:27:30Okay.
00:27:31It's just, you surprise me.
00:27:33Um, I thought we'd go out on a date.
00:27:36I think we're a little bit beyond dating territory, aren't we?
00:27:40Yes, but just something a little more romantic.
00:27:46Ah.
00:27:53Candles, the moonlight, those little flowers.
00:27:58Well, this was romantic.
00:27:59Hmm, it's fine.
00:28:02Princess, I may be naive when it comes to affairs of the heart, but I do know enough to know that
00:28:06when a woman says something is fine, then it doesn't mean it's good.
00:28:10I did put some thought into this.
00:28:12Yes, your waitstaffed is a lovely job.
00:28:14Now, why does that sound like a slight?
00:28:16I don't want to argue.
00:28:16It was definitely a slight.
00:28:18I just thought we could go out to a restaurant, that's all.
00:28:20A restaurant?
00:28:22I'm sorry, I'm just having trouble even picturing what that would look like.
00:28:27I suppose we could ask Edwin to put together a security detail.
00:28:30Could we, um, discuss this privately?
00:28:34By all means.
00:28:37Ah, would you mind giving us a few moments?
00:28:42I'm sorry, I'm just...
00:28:48attended on so often I forget that they're even there.
00:28:51Let's run out for pizza.
00:28:52I'm sorry, Princess, I don't think you understood.
00:28:54I'm saying that we can't do that without security.
00:28:56No, I don't think you understand. Where does that door go?
00:28:59Um, according to the security briefing, to some service elevator, I think.
00:29:03So? Let's run out for pizza!
00:29:06Really?
00:29:08Could we really do that?
00:29:09Look, in Boston, I'm a nobody.
00:29:11At least until we announce our engagement.
00:29:13And I don't think anyone's up to date with princes from small European monarchies.
00:29:17Well, I have featured on some quite prominent eligible bachelor lists.
00:29:20If we scruff you up a bit, we might look like just a normal couple out for a date.
00:29:28It's just I've never really done anything like that before.
00:29:30Well, tonight might be our last chance.
00:29:44The princess and I are at a very delicate and tense stage of diplomatic negotiations.
00:29:53We'd very much like to be left alone.
00:29:54Indeed, sir.
00:29:57Alone, Edwin.
00:29:58Remember, if anyone asks, you're a PhD student.
00:30:08Why can't I just be a local Bostonian?
00:30:10Well, first, because they're called townies.
00:30:12And second, because you don't have sweats.
00:30:13I'll remind you that the purpose of this trip was to propose to a princess.
00:30:17I didn't think sweats would be appropriate.
00:30:18So you have sweats?
00:30:19No.
00:30:20Well, at least you know what those are, so that's encouraging.
00:30:22Oh, may I?
00:30:23There.
00:30:27Do I look like an astronomy student?
00:30:30Look at you with the backstory.
00:30:32Astronomer.
00:30:33I like it.
00:30:34Personal interest?
00:30:34I dabble.
00:30:36All right.
00:30:37Now whenever, I suppose.
00:30:38Exactly.
00:30:48Um, take a breath.
00:30:50We're sneaking out for pizza, not nuclear secrets.
00:30:53Where are we going, anyway?
00:30:57This place Chloe and I used to go in grad school.
00:31:00The pizza is so greasy, but it's so good, and the beer is cold.
00:31:03Oh, you like beer, right?
00:31:04Oh, yeah.
00:31:04I'll have you know that we have some excellent breweries in Antrovia.
00:31:06So yes, I do drink beer.
00:31:08How sheltered do you think I am?
00:31:13Cool hats.
00:31:17That looks good on you.
00:31:19Yes?
00:31:24Oh, yeah, I suppose I have to pay for this.
00:31:26Yes.
00:31:27Um, one second.
00:31:29I, uh, the thing is I don't actually have any money.
00:31:32I've never really carried a wallet before.
00:31:34And that's exactly how sheltered I think you are.
00:31:37Don't worry, tonight's on me.
00:31:39Well, in that case, we'll take this as well.
00:31:42Thanks.
00:31:52So, going off the tether?
00:31:59Hmm.
00:32:00You know, I've never been allowed to make foolish mistakes or youthful indiscretions.
00:32:04My whole life's been so meticulously planned.
00:32:07Given my, um, polo playing, it's all orchestrated.
00:32:10Polo?
00:32:11But I've seen the pictures.
00:32:12No, it's an annual photo shoot against a green screen.
00:32:16In fact, I've fallen off so many horses that I'm expressly forbidden in the interest of protecting
00:32:20the royal lineage from being on horseback.
00:32:22But I thought Androbians were supposed to be legendary polo players.
00:32:26Yes.
00:32:29What's wrong?
00:32:31Nothing's wrong.
00:32:34You were right.
00:32:34This is absolutely fantastic.
00:32:43Oh, it's called bowling.
00:32:45Do you want to try it?
00:32:46Bowling, you say?
00:32:49Yeah.
00:32:50Let's give it a go.
00:32:51Okay.
00:32:57Come on, come on, come on, come on.
00:32:58Oh!
00:33:00That was good, right?
00:33:01It's been a while.
00:33:02Okay, your turn.
00:33:07Uh, you might want to step back a little bit.
00:33:11Back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back.
00:33:14And remember what I told you.
00:33:15So you pull the ball up, wind back, take a few steps, and release.
00:33:26Are you kidding?
00:33:32That was great.
00:33:33Don't leave me hanging.
00:33:35Oh yeah, that thing you do.
00:33:43Excuse me, when you knock all the things down, is that what you do?
00:33:46That you do that little dance?
00:33:48I mean, you know, it doesn't happen all the time, but when it does, you got to celebrate.
00:33:51Mm-hmm.
00:33:52Huh.
00:33:56All right.
00:34:03Hey!
00:34:03Oh, well done.
00:34:07Don't leave me hanging.
00:34:10Am I picking up date night vibes?
00:34:13I know that look.
00:34:14I know that look.
00:34:15Hey baby, come on, let's buy them around.
00:34:17Oh, we just came back from our honeymoon ourselves, so stay right there.
00:34:26I've missed striking.
00:34:27You jerk.
00:34:29You've been messing with me this whole time.
00:34:30You assumed that I didn't know what bowling was.
00:34:32You didn't say you were good at it.
00:34:34I didn't say that I wasn't, but you think that I'm hopeless and sheltered.
00:34:38I'd say this one's on you.
00:34:39Okay, maybe I had that coming.
00:34:41I don't get it.
00:34:42You don't play polo, but you're this bowling champ.
00:34:45That's completely true.
00:34:47Yes, when mechanized bowling was first invented, it became something of a sensation in Androvia.
00:34:52And my great-grandfather, who insisted that we be modern in all things,
00:34:56he built a two-lane alley in the basement of the palace.
00:34:59I discovered it when I was in my early teens.
00:35:02When my royal duties became just too much to bear, that alley became a refuge for me.
00:35:08Well, considering how good you are, you must have spent a lot of time there.
00:35:14You're not the only one who had a difficult time adjusting.
00:35:18Here we go.
00:35:19Ah, thank you.
00:35:21Guys, do you have a car or should we drop you off someplace?
00:35:29Oh, that's so nice of you, but I think that's our Uber just pulling around now.
00:35:31Oh, well, it was really fun meeting you guys.
00:35:34I hope we can get together again.
00:35:36We've been trying to make more couple friends.
00:35:38We could have couple friends.
00:35:40Well, you guys have our contacts, so let's try to keep in touch.
00:35:43All right.
00:35:43Okay.
00:35:44Well, that's my wife, don't mind her, she's a hugger.
00:35:48Okay, bye.
00:35:49Great to meet you.
00:35:50It was great to meet you both.
00:35:53Bye.
00:35:55This is just the night that I needed.
00:35:58I have to admit it, I can't remember the last time I had this much fun.
00:36:07Androbian crown prints unaccounted for.
00:36:09Kidnapping not ruled out claims personal assistant.
00:36:14I think we're in trouble.
00:36:18Where have you been, sir?
00:36:19I've been worried sick and entertaining the most dire possibilities.
00:36:22Such as what, Edmund?
00:36:24Kidnapping attempt?
00:36:25No, in fact, we just went out for a little pizza.
00:36:28Pizza can be delivered.
00:36:31This is quite unlike you, sir.
00:36:33I'm so sorry.
00:36:34This is my fault.
00:36:34No, it isn't.
00:36:36I went of my own free will.
00:36:38And for your information, I had rather a fantastic time.
00:36:41Well, that seems entirely beside the point.
00:36:44Well, I'll inform the king and queen that you have not been abducted, as feared.
00:36:49Now, it would seem that the best way to defuse this escalation intentions would be to announce
00:36:56your engagement as soon as possible.
00:36:58So, Princess Beatrice, you will be back here at 9 a.m. sharp for your official photo.
00:37:02I have a meeting.
00:37:03Your Highness, I realize this must all feel like a terrible inconvenience for you.
00:37:08But you were almost in the middle of an international incident this evening.
00:37:11Through no fault of her own.
00:37:12Be that as it may, we need to push things along here for the people of both your countries.
00:37:18Thank you, Your Highnesses.
00:37:24We'll send a car in the morning.
00:37:32No.
00:37:33Oh, that's ghastly, darling.
00:37:35My Sheree, you can't wear any of those.
00:37:38They'll think he's marrying an American.
00:37:40Seeing your wardrobe is making me feel quite sad, like we haven't supported you.
00:37:44Well, that was the whole point. I wanted to support myself.
00:37:48And I didn't mean to make you sad.
00:37:50This is supposed to be good news.
00:37:51Of course I'm pleased.
00:37:54You're doing your country a great service.
00:37:56And personally...
00:37:57I'm thrilled to have my baby closer to home.
00:38:00But I just hate to think...
00:38:01Hate to think what?
00:38:02I know how hard won your privacy has been.
00:38:06I fear we're letting you down.
00:38:09Making sacrifices for the greater good is what we do, Mama.
00:38:12Mama.
00:38:12You married for part 20. What was that like?
00:38:15I'll admit, it was quite an adjustment.
00:38:18But then again, I was raised for this sort of thing.
00:38:21You, Ma Sheree, you're educated and accomplished, but...
00:38:24I fear you're unprepared.
00:38:27Well, you've supported everything I've ever done,
00:38:28so that's the best preparation I could ever hope for.
00:38:31Perhaps. Then again...
00:38:33We've prepared Coralina, and look how that turned out.
00:38:38Oh, well, I hate to cut this short, but I think my car's going to arrive any minute.
00:38:41Give my love to Papa.
00:38:42Of course.
00:38:44Okay.
00:38:44Bisou, bisou.
00:38:53Right.
00:38:54Well, you won't be needing whatever's in there.
00:38:57Follow me.
00:38:57What is that thing?
00:39:00.
00:39:09,
00:39:11y.
00:39:11..
00:39:14How are we progressing?
00:39:35I just worry that all of this...
00:39:37It's not me.
00:39:38Well, Your Highness, if I may,
00:39:41you have not been you for over two decades.
00:39:43By that, I mean Princess Beatrix of Faustieri.
00:39:47Now, she's in there somewhere,
00:39:49and we mean to find her, no matter how long it takes.
00:39:52Now, everyone, let's get this done.
00:40:13Your Highnesses, can you get closer together, please?
00:40:21Can you switch sides, please?
00:40:22Could we see the Allura and Alexandrite, please?
00:40:27Could we see the Allura and Alexandrite, please?
00:40:31Oh, I have been following my dear cousins,
00:40:33and I'm going to try to see the Allura and Alexandrite,
00:40:35you know her father,
00:40:37and I'm going to try to find yourself together.
00:40:39There's a lot of different...
00:40:40There's a lot of different universes.
00:40:41Can you get closer together, please?
00:40:43Can you switch sides, please?
00:40:44Could we see the Allura and the Lexandrite, please?
00:41:04Oh, hello. Hi. Excuse me. Excuse me. Get out of the way.
00:41:10I think they're finally leaving.
00:41:12I'm so glad you're here. It's been chaos.
00:41:15I know. It's crazy, right?
00:41:18I kind of just missed that one guy with binoculars.
00:41:21Anyway, have you checked your work email?
00:41:23Suddenly the Brahmin League can't wait to be in business with us.
00:41:26And you have invitations to a bunch of galas.
00:41:29Well, don't tell my mother. She'll send gowns.
00:41:31Ooh. You think she'll send me one?
00:41:33If only we could take advantage, but unfortunately there's bigger issues brewing at home.
00:41:37Now that I know that this is in your home, I've been doing some research.
00:41:41Your foreign minister has been stoking quite a bit of nationalistic fervor, which seems ironic, considering the fact that the Androvians and Vostieres used to be one big country originally.
00:41:53So it's sort of like the Capulets and the Montagues or Ewing and Barnes.
00:41:58But if they were one big country originally, then why did they separate?
00:42:01Well, it was 300 years ago. The king died without a clear heir.
00:42:04Two families laid claim to the throne and it created this big mess which eventually divided the countries.
00:42:09So now, in order to calm the rhetoric, Desmond and I have to turn on the charm offensive.
00:42:17His jet leaves for Androvia tomorrow night.
00:42:19So, clear your schedule and pack your bags.
00:42:23You want me to come with you?
00:42:24No.
00:42:24I need you to come with me.
00:42:28I feel like things are about to get very weird.
00:42:30I need someone I can trust in my corner.
00:42:32And I can't think of anyone else I'd rather have as my maid of honor.
00:42:37Seriously?
00:42:38I'd be so honored!
00:42:40Yay!
00:42:41I'm sure we're off for the trip in a scarf and big Jackie O sunglasses.
00:42:46Okay.
00:42:46Okay.
00:42:54Oh.
00:42:57Ah.
00:42:57Hi.
00:42:58Miss Hargraves.
00:43:00Always a pleasure.
00:43:01I heard you were joining us.
00:43:03I sure am.
00:43:04It's hard to imagine flying without putting my shoes in a tub first.
00:43:07Indeed.
00:43:09Hello, Edwin.
00:43:10Your Highness.
00:43:11Ah, this will not do.
00:43:13This you might find a little more appropriate.
00:43:15Oh, that looks a bit much for travel.
00:43:18And the Androvian jet awaits us.
00:43:20Do you think it's as posh as we see in magazines?
00:43:22I love free food.
00:43:23We have all amenities on board.
00:43:25Food service, chilled champagne, and in-flight TV.
00:43:28In fact, His Highness has asked that we screen his favorite film this evening.
00:43:32The Big Lebowski.
00:43:34Oh.
00:43:34That tracks.
00:43:37The dude abides.
00:43:40Indeed he does.
00:43:47Just give us your best, My Highness, and I tell for the van.
00:43:51Come on.
00:43:52Yes.
00:43:53Very good.
00:43:54Ojika.
00:43:58Oh, hello.
00:44:08I want to be the king of it all.
00:44:10I want to have a good time.
00:44:12I got it.
00:44:14Hey!
00:44:15I got it.
00:44:16Does he打alled you?
00:44:17Told you to think it, give it to?
00:44:18Oh, ah, they're king of it all.
00:44:21Oh, I want to have a good time, good time
00:44:24Give it to me, give it to me
00:44:26Give it to me, give it to me
00:44:28Wow
00:44:31Morning, you guys
00:44:33Your majesties
00:44:40Might I present my fiancée
00:44:43Princess Beatrix Eliana
00:44:45Holston von Lindemann
00:44:47Au Jard
00:44:48of Ostieri.
00:44:50In Princess, might I introduce the Royal Family of Androvia,
00:44:53my father, King Richmond,
00:44:55and my mother, Queen Lupinia.
00:44:58It's a pleasure to make your acquaintances.
00:45:00You're quite a bit taller than the other one.
00:45:03Yes, Your Majesty.
00:45:05My apologies for that.
00:45:10Hmm.
00:45:10Oh, that's quite all right.
00:45:18You don't need to unpack for me.
00:45:24Okay, please proceed.
00:45:31You know, there's a nice lady unpacking my underwear
00:45:34into a lavender-scented tissue paper drawer.
00:45:37I thought we were only staying one night.
00:45:38Well, we're supposed to do a tour of Castle Allure tomorrow.
00:45:41Oh.
00:45:42Oh.
00:45:43Okay.
00:45:46Your Highness.
00:45:48Miss Hargraves.
00:45:49In an effort to win over Androvians,
00:45:52we planned a photo op for an hour from now.
00:45:54It will be very simple.
00:45:56You and the Prince will go out the front entry of the palace,
00:45:59descend the steps,
00:46:00and wave to a select group of locals and photographers
00:46:03who will be gathered outside of the gate.
00:46:06Then you will return to the palace.
00:46:08Easy as that.
00:46:09Should we perhaps go outside the gate
00:46:11and greet them personally?
00:46:12Goodness, no.
00:46:14We merely want them to get a look at you.
00:46:15We've timed it so the sun
00:46:16will be perfect for your angular...
00:46:19angles.
00:46:21But no selfies,
00:46:23and there will be no tabloid photographers there.
00:46:25You will wear these,
00:46:27and this will be the gown you're wearing.
00:46:30That looks a tad long.
00:46:33There won't be time for a proper hem.
00:46:36We'll get a seamstress to pop in a couple of stitches
00:46:38and hope for the best.
00:46:39All right?
00:46:44Whoa.
00:46:45He's like Cinderella's fairy godmother.
00:46:47If she didn't like Cinderella in the least.
00:46:50Hmm.
00:47:02Whoa.
00:47:03Whoa.
00:47:04Whoa.
00:47:05Whoa.
00:47:05It's like being 13 all over again.
00:47:24Except this time, I'm a meme that will last forever.
00:47:27Hey, what do we tell our girls?
00:47:31You are the author of your own story.
00:47:34Don't let others control your narrative.
00:47:36Oh, I'm sorry.
00:47:39I'm jet-lagged, and I didn't expect tagging along with royalty to be so tiring.
00:47:44Also, that bit in there is calling my name.
00:47:46Did you know those sheets are hand-stitched by Italian nuns who are selected for their tiny hands?
00:47:52I looked it up.
00:47:53Okay, you go get some sleep.
00:47:55And remember, we'll laugh about this in the morning.
00:47:57Well, I hope so.
00:47:59Bye.
00:47:59Night-night.
00:48:04Bye.
00:48:22Bye.
00:48:24Bye.
00:48:25lavoration.
00:48:26Oh, can I help you some it lass just we're not supposed to have visitors this late in the kitchen
00:48:54Oh, sorry to bother. I couldn't sleep and I thought maybe a cup of chamomile tea might help
00:48:59Ah, you must be the American friend of the princess. You could have just run down for it
00:49:03Actually, I'm the princess friend of the American
00:49:06Oh, I didn't recognise you, Your Highness
00:49:11Well, you must have missed today's latest internet story
00:49:14Don't worry about those photos. Come on
00:49:17Oh, you're in luck. Cattle's still hot
00:49:24Thank you. You know, when I married my Humphrey, I didn't eat for days
00:49:30And by the time the priests were giving us our vows, I faint dead away
00:49:34Full garter over gums right off the altar
00:49:37Humphrey couldn't find the top half of me for all the jewel
00:49:39But by the time reception were in full swing, even I were laughing at it
00:49:45And I think it's good for the people to see that royals are human too
00:49:50If anyone's asking my opinion
00:49:52Oh, sorry
00:49:55How can I help you, Your Highness?
00:50:00Straight away, Your Highness. Kettle's just boiled
00:50:03Would you allow me to take it?
00:50:07We can't have a princess going about like a kitchen maid
00:50:10Oh, no-one will mind
00:50:11And I am his fiancée after all
00:50:13Well, against me, better judgment, I don't suppose it could hurt
00:50:19Enter
00:50:23Thank you
00:50:30You can just set my tea on the side table then
00:50:32By all means, Your Highness
00:50:35What do you do in my bedroom?
00:50:39What? So it's okay for your kitchen maid to see you in your pyjamas
00:50:42But not your own fiancée
00:50:43No, it's just, you startled me, I wasn't expecting you
00:50:46Why are you delivering my tea?
00:50:49Well, I too couldn't sleep, so
00:50:51I impose myself on your kitchen staff
00:50:53Ah
00:50:54And you managed to make it up the stairs, alright, without falling over?
00:51:01Why couldn't you sleep?
00:51:03I'm just trying to take my mind off the lurking suspicion
00:51:06That responsibility for de-escalating this situation
00:51:08Seems to have fallen entirely on our shoulders
00:51:10You know
00:51:12Well, there's a book I can give you called Economies of Conflict
00:51:16Which might explain why
00:51:18I've read that book
00:51:19Yeah, I thought it was quite good
00:51:21You didn't tell me why you were not sleeping
00:51:24I'm making a mess of things
00:51:26No, you're not
00:51:26This is how it's always been for me
00:51:29Always a little...
00:51:30Off
00:51:31I'm trying to be better
00:51:34Less how I am, naturally
00:51:37I wish you wouldn't
00:51:39I like you just how you are
00:51:41You should teach a class on authenticity at Princess School
00:51:44You laugh, but that is part of the leadership programme at my foundation
00:51:48Yes, I heard about that
00:51:50Girls in STEM, isn't it?
00:51:52Mm-hmm
00:51:52Tell me about it
00:51:54Okay, Your Highness
00:51:55But
00:51:58Just remember, you asked
00:52:01Consider, if you will
00:52:04The messages we send our children
00:52:06Throughout history
00:52:08Only half the population has ever been invited to
00:52:11Adventure, explore, and engage in the world
00:52:14Half the time actively creating issues in their wake
00:52:16You mean men like our grandfathers
00:52:18Precisely
00:52:20Now consider
00:52:22The stories we tell our girls
00:52:24It's usually some
00:52:26Put-upon princess forced to marry a dull prince
00:52:29I'm not sure how I feel about that description
00:52:31My point is
00:52:34The story usually ends at her marriage
00:52:38Never to be spoken of again
00:52:40But what if the princess was prepared to think
00:52:43Not just about her advantageous marriage
00:52:46But the problems facing her society
00:52:49And their possible solutions
00:52:50Princess being metaphorical in our case, of course
00:52:53In Chloe's case
00:52:54Yes
00:52:55So we opened it up to any girl who had the mind for it
00:53:00We gave them the opportunity, the access, the tools
00:53:03So we can reframe the narrative for the future
00:53:06Interesting
00:53:07Right?
00:53:08Wait, which part?
00:53:10The part where you, an actual princess
00:53:13Are forced to marry a prince
00:53:14Because that's what princesses do
00:53:16When they're faced with problems in their societies
00:53:18Except, um
00:53:21This prince isn't very dull
00:53:24Ready for this?
00:53:44Yep
00:53:46Yep
00:53:46It's very rude
00:53:48If you are in a conspiracy
00:53:49But the internet is dean
00:53:50It's veryº
00:53:51And you will catch her
00:53:53And there's this fires
00:53:54Because that's the thing
00:53:55That it's very bitter
00:53:55Because that's why zombie happens
00:53:56It's very lovely
00:53:56It's veryº
00:53:57It looks so chap
00:53:58It's very difficult
00:53:58You've got to be
00:53:59At one point
00:54:00I hope that there is
00:54:00It puts us anyways
00:54:01You know
00:54:01You know
00:54:01It a lot of mess
00:54:02men
00:54:03All right, I'm just doing what you suggested and being authentically myself.
00:54:33Hi.
00:54:36Hello.
00:54:38Hello.
00:54:39Hello.
00:54:40Lovely to meet you.
00:54:41Can we take a selfie?
00:54:43Oh, of course, yes.
00:54:45Should we take a selfie?
00:54:46Oh, yes.
00:54:50You're welcome.
00:54:52Oh.
00:54:57Hello there.
00:54:58Thank you so much.
00:55:00Oh, that's beautiful.
00:55:02Your Highness, the Bostiaries have arrived early.
00:55:08There's already some snutter about which family gets the rule with the sons.
00:55:11Can you and the princess please return to the castle before things escalate?
00:55:15Right.
00:55:16Goodbye, everyone.
00:55:18See you at dinner.
00:55:32Ready to meet my family?
00:55:33I can't wait.
00:55:34Don't get too excited.
00:55:35My Cherie.
00:55:36Hello.
00:55:37You're here.
00:55:38Well, I'm just so glad to finally see you, my darling.
00:55:39I was afraid those awful Androvians had taken you hostage and were keeping you from your
00:55:51loving family.
00:55:53Darling, what have you been doing to your hair?
00:55:56I love it.
00:55:57Oh, well, it's not as perfect as Mon Shushu.
00:55:59Oh, stop.
00:56:00Don't even get me started.
00:56:01I am a wreck.
00:56:03Ah, but please allow me to introduce you to my husband.
00:56:09You must be-
00:56:14I am.
00:56:15The plumber, yes.
00:56:16But you can call me Cody.
00:56:18I've been looking forward to meeting you.
00:56:20I've only got two brothers, so it will delight me to have you as a sister.
00:56:24How lovely.
00:56:25May I introduce Miss Chloe Hargraves, my friend and Foundation partner?
00:56:29Such a pleasure to be joined by another commoner.
00:56:32We should form an alliance, you and I, no?
00:56:34I get it now.
00:56:37Right?
00:56:38What a surprise it was upon hearing about your early arrival here.
00:57:00I'm sure you know what it's like to suddenly crave the fresh air of the mountains, especially
00:57:05since your capital is a seaport and does smell so of fish.
00:57:09Unlike your capital, which smells of old cheese and disappointment.
00:57:14Your Majesties, may we invite you to proceed to the dining hall?
00:57:18Oh, all right.
00:57:20Smell.
00:57:21Prince Desmond, any comment on your second engagement in two months?
00:57:26I need to say that I'm entirely delighted by the circumstances that have brought Princess Beatrix and I together.
00:57:33And, Princess Beatrix, any comments on the fact that your approval ratings in Androvia have gone up 73%, has it?
00:57:40I'm afraid things have been quite topsy-turvy lately, so I wasn't aware.
00:57:48Your Highness.
00:57:53Princess Coralina, are you at all disappointed that you're sacrificing becoming Queen by marrying a commoner?
00:58:05Well, real love is never a sacrifice.
00:58:08Uh, excuse me, are you a member of one of the families?
00:58:21No, I'm Chloe, I'm the best friend of the bride.
00:58:25Miss Hargraves, at risk of appearing chivalrous, might I escort you inside?
00:58:31Will this start a rumour that we're dating?
00:58:33Perish the thought.
00:58:35Did you hear him? The nerve implying that simply because our beautiful capital is also a seaport, that it smells like fish? Absurd.
00:58:57Of course, dear. But then again, you don't stray that far from the palace.
00:59:03But I get out and about with my charity work at times, and I dare say the docks on the far side of the harbour, well, they do have a certain aromatic quality.
00:59:15Oh, darling. Do try the brie.
00:59:18It's...
00:59:20It's...
00:59:21It's...
00:59:22Exquisite.
00:59:23Mm-hmm.
00:59:25Ah.
00:59:26Faustiarian cheese.
00:59:30Some of the best in the world.
00:59:32Mm-hmm.
00:59:33Look at him down there.
00:59:35So smug.
00:59:37Cheese and disappointment.
00:59:39He's the one who'd know what disappointment smells like.
00:59:42Darling, with all your fretting, you're letting your ceviche get cold.
00:59:45Ceviche is always cold, Mama.
00:59:48You're right. Which one do I mean?
00:59:50Oh, I don't know offhand, but you really must try it. It's quite delicious.
00:59:54I do hope after the wedding, we'll get more Androvian seafood.
01:00:01How are you adjusting to your return to public life?
01:00:05Now, perhaps I can relate on a small level.
01:00:08Until I married your sister.
01:00:10No, please.
01:00:11Unless water was spraying from a faucet, no one cared what I did.
01:00:16I must say, it's been quite disorienting.
01:00:18I'm not used to being fussed over.
01:00:20It's all this poking and prodding and focus on my appearance,
01:00:23which takes on getting used to.
01:00:24Oh, perhaps I can sympathize.
01:00:26I have found it a little unsettling for myself also.
01:00:30Mm-hmm.
01:00:31You know, the work I do is with my hands, not my face.
01:00:33Why should this matter?
01:00:35Oh, it matters, right?
01:00:37I suppose that dinner went as well as expected.
01:00:51At least no one threw anything.
01:00:53Small blessings, right?
01:00:55I just hope the wedding goes half as well.
01:00:57It will.
01:00:59Oh, girl.
01:01:01You always beat me at this game.
01:01:03I don't even know why I try.
01:01:05Here, just take the whole deck. Take it.
01:01:07I am going to go and instastop Cody.
01:01:09See if he has any brothers.
01:01:11Good luck.
01:01:12Nighty night.
01:01:13Night.
01:01:14Nighty night.
01:01:15Nighty night.
01:01:16Nighty night.
01:01:20Nighty night.
01:01:22Nighty night.
01:01:23I don't know.
01:01:53I don't know.
01:02:23I don't know.
01:02:24I don't know.
01:02:25I don't know.
01:02:26I don't know.
01:02:27I don't know.
01:02:28I don't know.
01:02:29I want to show you something.
01:02:33I don't know.
01:02:35You know, I don't wish to alarm you, but when I was a boy, I heard a tale that this tower
01:02:41was haunted by my great-great-great-grandmother, Gertrude, who died here rather than surrender
01:02:47it to your lot, the posteriori's.
01:02:49Well, I was told the ghost was a distant cousin who died defending it from the Androvians.
01:02:56You don't suppose that perhaps our education was skewed in such a way as to paint in a more
01:03:01favorable light our respective families, do you?
01:03:04What?
01:03:05Are you implying that it wasn't entirely true when I was told the Vossieris basically invented
01:03:09civilization?
01:03:10Just speculating.
01:03:13Did you hear that?
01:03:15Where are you taking me?
01:03:19You'll see.
01:03:22Yeah, no, but actually what?
01:03:32This is what I wanted to show you.
01:03:39Wow.
01:03:40How did you know about it?
01:03:41For a while as a girl, I would obsess over the schematics of all the castles, certain
01:03:46that I would find a secret passage leading to hidden treasure.
01:03:50Unfortunately, I never thought to look for a hidden bowling alley.
01:03:52Oh.
01:04:02Who knows what we'll see.
01:04:05But you once told me that you wanted to study astronomy.
01:04:09Wait.
01:04:11It's early August.
01:04:13Did you bring me here to see the Poseides?
01:04:15Tonight, the meteor shower is supposed to peak.
01:04:18Brilliant.
01:04:20Brilliant.
01:04:22There's one.
01:04:28Look.
01:04:29There's another one.
01:04:30I can't tell if you're just indulging me or you genuinely get excited every time you see another one.
01:04:39Surely you've seen shooting stars before.
01:04:41Of course I have.
01:04:43It doesn't matter if you've seen a hundred thousand of them.
01:04:47Doesn't mean that each one can't have its own unique beauty.
01:04:49I imagine that's what it's like to be in love.
01:04:58Doesn't matter if you've been with someone for years.
01:05:01Your heart still skips feet every time they walk in the room.
01:05:05Imagine.
01:05:06You make it sound like you've never been in love before.
01:05:10I don't suppose I have.
01:05:13Not really.
01:05:15And of course there was an infatuation or two at university, but...
01:05:20The engagement.
01:05:21I was betrothed to your sister before I even knew what her crush was.
01:05:35I'm actually really sorry that didn't work out.
01:05:39I'm also really sorry you had to settle for the spare.
01:05:43My sister certainly would never trip over her hem.
01:05:45In fact, she's much better suited to all the required pageantry than I am.
01:05:52I can't say I'm disappointed.
01:06:00I also don't think your sister would ever remember some throw away comment about astronomy.
01:06:05Bring me up on this roof to see this.
01:06:06See you there.
01:06:15Oh, look at that one.
01:06:37Desmond.
01:06:39Desmond, wake up.
01:06:41There's five more minutes. This is the nicest sleep I've had for weeks.
01:06:44Knowing Edwin is probably already alerted the authorities have done something nefarious to you.
01:06:48Let's hope nobody's noticed we've gone.
01:06:50Yes, let's hope.
01:06:55Allow me to help you with that.
01:07:06It's stuck.
01:07:07We're trapped up here.
01:07:08What?
01:07:10What are we going to do?
01:07:12Ah.
01:07:13Just kidding.
01:07:14Imagine how awkward that would have been though.
01:07:15Oh, you're evil.
01:07:17My heart stopped.
01:07:24Where have you two been?
01:07:25We've had the entire staff looking for you.
01:07:27Yes, actually Edwin, the thing about that is that...
01:07:29I'm sorry, it's my fault.
01:07:31Again?
01:07:32Your Highness, you appear to be becoming a bad influence.
01:07:34Edwin, I will remind you that you're speaking to your future Queen.
01:07:37Apologies, Your Highness, but your official pre-nuptial luncheon starts in less than three hours.
01:07:43Thus, there is a team of stylists awaiting for you in your quarters.
01:07:46I assumed this wedding was more about politics than presentation.
01:07:50Might I remind Her Highness that presentation is politics.
01:08:04The entire Ancillium province was clearly ceded to Androvia in the Treaty of 1628.
01:08:13That was a treaty that was never ratified.
01:08:17Even within Androvia, that treaty was widely dismissed.
01:08:20Oh.
01:08:21You're an expert on Androvian history now.
01:08:23It's a moot point to even try and bring that up, since the Joint Occupancy Accord agreed to, in 1923, set up a 99-year mutual tenancy which would have superseded it.
01:08:35That was most graciously proposed by my own grandfather, so I think I would know about the Accord of 1923.
01:08:42Then you would also know about the underlying agreement, that upon the Accord's expiration, ownership would revert to Vostieri.
01:08:51Nonsense! There was never an underlying agreement.
01:08:54That is pure fiction.
01:08:56The only fiction going on here is that we're supposed to believe that's your real hair.
01:09:01Or is the real fiction your waistline? How much spandex are you strapped into?
01:09:06That's my girl.
01:09:10Darling! That's not very ladylike.
01:09:13Well, something had to be done, Mother.
01:09:16With all due respect, what was supposed to be a purely ceremonial luncheon has yet again devolved into another failed summit.
01:09:24Now, if you would allow me, I believe I have a way through this.
01:09:28Chloe, we're doing our conflict resolution workshop.
01:09:31Awesome!
01:09:32This seems entirely irregular.
01:09:34Father, please.
01:09:35These outdated treaties that the two of you have been fighting over have done neither of our countries any good at all, have they?
01:09:39Your Majesties have both been given ample opportunity to find a solution and you haven't been able to.
01:09:43So, might I suggest that the Crown Princess has given the opportunity to provide some much-needed fresh perspective?
01:09:49The Ertrix, dear, this is really not the appropriate time.
01:09:53Papa, darling, this is what Bea does.
01:09:57If you could all just let her speak, I think you'll find we have a rather gifted diplomat amongst us.
01:10:04You've got this.
01:10:05Can we get a whiteboard in here?
01:10:06I think we can all agree we'd like to resolve this matter and find a permanent solution, not kick it down the road like your grandparents did.
01:10:16Quite right.
01:10:17Excuse me, dear.
01:10:18Which word are we trying to come up with?
01:10:22There's not a right or a wrong word.
01:10:24It's just that you each have to use the letter you have to make A word.
01:10:27In this situation, what would a win look like to you?
01:10:30Not ever having to deal with this problem for the rest of my life.
01:10:33Okay.
01:10:34I'll put that down as a win.
01:10:35Okay, Queens, let's do a trust fall.
01:10:37I'd like you to stand in front like this.
01:10:40I'm here for palace.
01:10:42And you're just going to fall back and trust that my mum is going to catch you.
01:10:47K for king.
01:10:49Service.
01:10:51Bird.
01:10:52I'm slightly worried that our liveries might clash.
01:10:56Edwin, please.
01:10:57Fall.
01:11:01Queens.
01:11:06I know you two went to boarding school together.
01:11:08King Richmond.
01:11:09I don't want you to think about it.
01:11:11I want you to just blurt out a word that comes to mind of when you first met my father.
01:11:16I suppose inspiring.
01:11:18Did you say inspiring?
01:11:19First word that came to mind.
01:11:21Why do you think that is?
01:11:23I was 11 years old.
01:11:25I was fairly sheltered and suddenly I was shipped off to a Swiss boarding school,
01:11:31which was supposed to make a man out of me, admittedly.
01:11:35I was terrified.
01:11:37But then I met Winston.
01:11:39He was a year older.
01:11:41He seemed to be the only boy there who could truly understand my position.
01:11:46He inspired me that I could make my way there.
01:11:50Father.
01:11:51Okay.
01:11:52Great word.
01:11:53Inspiring.
01:11:54Father.
01:11:55What word comes to mind of when you first met King Richmond?
01:11:59I suppose.
01:12:00Comrade.
01:12:01It was awkward with the other boys.
01:12:03Given my royal standing I felt quite isolated.
01:12:05So when Richmond arrived, I finally felt like I had a comrade.
01:12:08Someone I could confide in and team up with, as it were.
01:12:12We did make quite a team, didn't we, then?
01:12:14We did indeed.
01:12:15Do you remember the water tower adventure?
01:12:16Do I?
01:12:17I commissioned a painting of that very water tower.
01:12:20It hangs in my personal study.
01:12:21So how did it go from that to this current animosity?
01:12:23When I graduated, my father told me I had to put all that behind me and be a true leader.
01:12:28He drilled into me that the Androvians, or basically any of the people who were in the
01:12:33world.
01:12:34I had to put all that behind me and be a true leader.
01:12:37Can't be trusted.
01:12:53And do you think that mistrust has been a win for either of you?
01:12:59for either of you good evening ladies and gentlemen i am very pleased and frankly a little surprised
01:13:14to announce that after a private meeting this afternoon king richmond and king winston have
01:13:20come to an agreement which would establish a mutual shared occupancy of the alcinian province
01:13:27overseen by an independent council made up of appointees from both countries any questions
01:13:33with our signatures we enact the new treaty we also announce a new free trade agreement
01:13:46between our two countries which will benefit both economies
01:13:50and as an added benefit my son is not forced into a marriage of convenience my daughter does
01:14:01not have to marry a man she barely knows
01:14:03and with that i return this token of your affection
01:14:13and i accept this ring and release you from your engagement to me

01:14:57and all of this has taught me a new meaning of public service
01:15:00princess for the people sounds like a great story to teach children
01:15:04i truly hope the next time you give that to someone it's not out of political expediency but
01:15:12because you're really in love

01:21:00Oh, no. I definitely miss them by now.
01:21:02Hey, we don't know that. You might still be able to catch him.
01:21:05You should go. You'll be okay?
01:21:07Yeah, yeah, go! Go!
01:21:10You go, girl!
01:21:30What are you doing? Where's your security?
01:21:51I gave them the slip like you taught me.
01:21:53Oh, God. I need to invest in some sweats.
01:21:56These are not the right shoes for this.
01:21:58What are you doing here?
01:22:03Those things I said last night.
01:22:05Last night?
01:22:06Look, I said that we dodged a bullet.
01:22:09But the truth is, I don't particularly want to dodge that bullet.
01:22:12You don't?
01:22:13No. And perhaps this is crazy.
01:22:15Like your father said, we hardly know each other.
01:22:17But I've never felt this way before.
01:22:20I'm completely in love with you.
01:22:24I feel the same way.
01:22:26I think we'll still have it.
01:22:28What are you doing?
01:22:34I'm asking this not because I'm the prince and you're the princess and it's our duty.
01:22:40But because I, Desmond, I'm truly in love with you, Beatrix.
01:22:44Will you marry me?
01:22:46I will marry you for exactly that reason.
01:22:50For exactly that reason.
01:22:51Ooh.
01:22:52Ooh.
01:23:11You know, you could change a shirt this season.
01:23:38Huh, no way.
01:23:39This is my favorite shirt.
01:23:40And if I take this off, the Bruins will lose.
01:23:42You know that, right?
01:23:43Yeah.
01:23:44Hey, what's this fancy-looking envelope?
01:23:48Wait.
01:23:49Are these airline tickets?
01:23:53First class?
01:23:54Is this a joke?
01:23:55Hold on, let me see the card.
01:23:57Wow, there's a note written in it.
01:24:01Dear Rooster and Alice, you did say you wanted a couple friends.
01:24:05What?
01:24:06Shut up!
01:24:09Shut up!
01:24:10These are our friends from the bowling alley.
01:24:13Are you freaking kidding me?
01:24:17What have we done?
01:24:18What kind of chaos have we unleashed?
01:24:20There's a wedding between two royal families and Edwin's involved.
01:24:24So you can't have expected an intimate affair, just the two of us.
01:24:28But seating 500 guests, how are we going to do that?
01:24:30And do we really know who all these people are?
01:24:33I mean, this one, for example.
01:24:36Johnny Payne?
01:24:37Yes.
01:24:38Yes.
01:24:39The heir to the Glasswick dukedom.
01:24:40He's the son of my uncle Willie.
01:24:42That's on my mother's side.
01:24:43I see.
01:24:44And his plus one is a misprudent swop.
01:24:47Why are they seated at a table with the Americans?
01:24:49Oh, that was quite the scandal.
01:24:51You see, Willie went over to America, had a secret wife and a hidden heir.
01:24:55But shouldn't he be seated with his parents, William and Dorothy?
01:24:58He should be seated with his highness's cousin, Henry.
01:25:03Yes, because Henry is going out with an American, Princess Sweet Pea.
01:25:08Princess Sweet Pea, the theme park princess.
01:25:10You know, she's not real, right?
01:25:11Apparently she's real enough to be eating lobster at our wedding.
01:25:14Well, if all this goes south, I'll be over there drinking beer with Rooster and Alice.
01:25:19A better idea.
01:25:20Why don't we run out for some pizza?
01:25:25Why don't we run out for some pizza?
01:25:30I mean, I...
