00:00:00Oh my god, Henley.
00:00:07Oh my god.
00:00:11You're covered in coffee.
00:00:13Yeah, of course.
00:00:14I came as soon as I got Mom's message.
00:00:16What happened?
00:00:17I skipped breakfast and fainted on the track.
00:00:20It's no big deal.
00:00:21You had me so worried.
00:00:23It'd take more than an empty stomach to kill me off.
00:00:26You're right.
00:00:27You know what, let me go grab you some food.
00:00:29Okay?
00:00:30Mm-hmm.
00:00:31What can't be happening?
00:00:33I'm afraid it's the situation.
00:00:36Mom?
00:00:37I'm sorry.
00:00:38The doctor has some bad news.
00:00:40What?
00:00:41I'm sorry.
00:00:42Your sister has leukemia.
00:00:44Our insurance has expired.
00:00:47There's no way we can pay for her treatment.
00:00:49Don't worry.
00:00:50I'll figure something out.
00:00:51You just go and look after Henley for a moment, okay?
00:00:54Okay.
00:00:55Okay?
00:00:59Oh, my God.
00:01:01What am I gonna do?
00:01:04I'm only on minimum wage.
00:01:06There are other ways to pay.
00:01:09Tell me.
00:01:10Are you single?
00:01:11What?
00:01:12What's that gotta do with anything?
00:01:14It might just save your sister's life.
00:01:18A deluxe mail order bride service?
00:01:22Hello.
00:01:23You got your best dress, Harry Douglas.
00:01:25We found you a bidder.
00:01:27You got your best dress, Harry Douglas.
00:01:42We found you a bidder.
00:01:43We found you a bidder.
00:02:13Your Royal Highness, Princess Dima has arrived.
00:02:25Excellent. We can finally confirm our engagement.
00:02:28The thing is, we're not exactly sure where in the castle she is.
00:02:31She was last seen speaking to your cousin.
00:02:33Marcus is here.
00:02:35We'll find him before he starts any trouble.
00:02:37No need. I know exactly where he'll be.
00:02:43Dima!
00:02:50Edward!
00:02:52I'm sorry, my love. I don't know what came over me.
00:02:56I do.
00:02:58She wanted a taste of the true heir to the throne.
00:03:02Your Majesty, please.
00:03:05No.
00:03:13If either of you step foot in this palace again, I will have you both executed for treason.
00:03:24Now get out.
00:03:26I guess there won't be a royal wedding after all.
00:03:30It took years to arrange your marriage to Princess Dima.
00:03:45And now you're throwing our new alliance with Lathina away?
00:03:49I wasn't the one fucking someone else on the throne.
00:03:52You watch your language, boy.
00:03:54She was having sex with cousin Marcus on our seat of power.
00:03:58The one he craves for himself.
00:04:01Surely you can't expect me to still marry her.
00:04:04I'll travel to Lathina and clear up your mess.
00:04:07But there will be a royal wedding.
00:04:10You are to find a new bride worthy of this crown.
00:04:23R.E. Douglas.
00:04:49Spread your arms, please.
00:04:51Um, we agreed that our first date wouldn't be physical, but...
00:04:57Is that really necessary?
00:04:59Your bag, please.
00:05:01You're not my date, are you?
00:05:05I shouldn't have signed up for this.
00:05:06No, I'm sorry.
00:05:07I think I'm just gonna go.
00:05:08Mom?
00:05:09Your Highness.
00:05:16Prince Edward.
00:05:21His Royal Highness Prince Edward Piercement of Australia.
00:05:27That's your service.
00:05:29R.E. Douglas.
00:05:30Of Queens.
00:05:31Hm.
00:05:33Not a bad start.
00:05:34This is a joke, right?
00:05:36I mean, why would a prince need a male-order bride?
00:05:39Have I read your profile?
00:05:40You're smart, beautiful, talented.
00:05:45But you're hiding something.
00:05:47You don't want money, you need it.
00:05:49You don't know anything about me.
00:05:51Precisely.
00:05:53So you're going to change that, or should I just assume that you are a gold digger like all the rest?
00:05:57You have a great day, Your Highness.
00:06:12Back to the airport, sir?
00:06:15No.
00:06:18Follow her.
00:06:19How are you feeling today?
00:06:26Why do people keep treating me like I'm dying?
00:06:29We were just worried about you.
00:06:35What's wrong?
00:06:36I think I'm hallucinating.
00:06:38What?
00:06:39Isn't that Prince Edward?
00:06:41What the hell are you doing here?
00:06:43Ari, you're speaking to literal royalty.
00:06:46It's alright.
00:06:48We bumped into each other as I toured the hospital, and I was a little rude.
00:06:52I apologise, Miss Douglas.
00:06:56Could I have a word outside?
00:07:06You're doing this for your sister?
00:07:07Well done.
00:07:09Gold star for the prince.
00:07:11If you marry me, I will pay for her whole treatment.
00:07:16Anything she needs.
00:07:18Wait, you're serious?
00:07:19Yes.
00:07:22But, if you'll permit me, there is one last thing I must test.
00:07:26Let's test.
00:07:44What now?
00:07:56I love you, sis.
00:07:57Australian tradition dictates that you mustn't see each other again until your wedding day.
00:08:10What?
00:08:11So he just kissed me and left?
00:08:12I'm to escort you to Australia as soon as you're done here.
00:08:14But I must gas you to keep the engagement a secret.
00:08:17Why?
00:08:18Every move a royal mech is in the spotlight.
00:08:20It's just one of the many things you're going to have to get used to.
00:08:23And fast.
00:08:25Your new life starts now.
00:08:28Mum?
00:08:29This is Prince Edward's younger brother, Prince Xavier.
00:08:31Oh, hi.
00:08:32Um.
00:08:33Greetings, your royal highness.
00:08:35Oh.

00:08:56Oh.
00:08:57Oh.
00:09:05My God.
00:09:06Did nobody even teach you how to curtsy?
00:09:16God, I'm sorry.
00:09:18Although that really was the worst curtsy I think I've ever seen.
00:09:24So you're the famous Ari Douglas I've heard so much about I'm Edward's younger funnier more handsome more
00:09:31charismatic little brother
00:09:33Sorry, I ended up with a dad, but um
00:09:37We still have time to fall in love run away before the wedding
00:09:42Come with me
00:09:47This is our little fixer-upper
00:09:50Your rooms round about the three hundred and twelfth on the left. I imagine you want to settle in and rest, but
00:10:03Already late for our first appointment
00:10:20From rags to riches. Let's make you a princess
00:10:50Oh
00:11:03Yes, Queen or should I say yes future Queen I've never seen myself like this. I'll stop those heels
00:11:20I
00:11:22Don't you ever know I'd find a savage
00:11:25Isn't it obvious? She's a whore
00:11:28You must have fallen in love with her almost between her legs
00:11:33She'll be gone as soon as he gets borrowed off fucking a present
00:11:44Go away
00:11:50So this is true
00:11:52So this is true
00:11:56Who are you?
00:11:57Your predecessor
00:12:04You have a very pretty face
00:12:07If you want to keep it that way leave while you still can
00:12:11Is that a threat?
00:12:12No, no, it's a warning
00:12:15Edward is not the man he makes out to be
00:12:27And trust me my darling you weren't the first one to fall for his trap
00:12:31Harry?
00:12:33Harry?
00:12:37Harry you're not leaving are you?
00:12:39Harry?
00:12:41Harry?
00:12:44Harry?
00:12:46Harry?
00:12:48I've been transferred to the best cancer hospital in Manhattan. My treatment's being paid for by some anonymous donor. That's great hen.
00:13:08I feel like I can finally breathe again. Oh gotta go dogs here. Love you. Love you
00:13:19Harry? Harry? Harry? It's a big day.
00:13:31Okay
00:13:37Let's get this over with
00:13:39Yes
00:14:01You look radiant
00:14:03Thank you
00:14:05I'm sorry. It's not the royal wedding you might have expected
00:14:08My father is-
00:14:09I'm just doing this for Anthony
00:14:11Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today
00:14:14To join this man and this woman in holy matrimony
00:14:18Prince Edward, your bows
00:14:21Harry, though it was circumstance that brought us together
00:14:25It is love that will bind us
00:14:28With this ring
00:14:31I commit to you my heart, my spirit, and my soul
00:14:36Let us share our lives until they are well spent and spend them well
00:14:42Together
00:14:45Do you, Edward, take this woman to be your lawfully wedded wife?
00:14:49I do
00:14:51And do you, Ariana, take this man to be your lawfully wedded husband?
00:14:54I do
00:14:56And I now pronounce you husband and wife
00:14:58You may kiss the bride
00:15:00Arrest that man!
00:15:02Arrest that man!
00:15:04What's the meaning of this?
00:15:05You know exactly what you did, you bastard
00:15:06Explain yourself
00:15:08Last night, Prince Edward here decided to pay a little visit to my beloved fiancΓ©
00:15:12What fiancΓ©?
00:15:13Princess Dima
00:15:14What fiancΓ©?
00:15:15Princess Dima
00:15:16Princess Dima
00:15:17Arrest that man!
00:15:19Arrest that man!
00:15:21Arrest that man!
00:15:23Arrest that man!
00:15:26What's the meaning of this?
00:15:28You know exactly what you did, you bastard
00:15:29Explain yourself
00:15:31Last night, Prince Edward here decided to pay a little visit to my beloved fiancΓ©
00:15:34What fiancΓ©?
00:15:35Princess Dima
00:15:36I only went there to retrieve the royal wedding ring
00:15:46And this is what he did to me when I refused to give it to him
00:15:48That is a lie
00:15:49Take him away
00:15:52You don't believe them, do you, Ari?
00:15:56Ari?
00:15:57Ari?
00:15:59Ari!
00:16:01Ari!
00:16:06Comfortable cousin?
00:16:12You scoundrel!
00:16:15It was you that put those brutus on Dima
00:16:18What do you care?
00:16:20Besides, you've got your American Barbie princess now anyway
00:16:24What happened to you?
00:16:26We used to be like brothers
00:16:28If we weren't brothers, then there wouldn't be a problem
00:16:30I'd already have the crown
00:16:33That's what this is about
00:16:34Discredited me in order to steal my birthright
00:16:37It's just as much my birthright as it is yours
00:16:40My father should have fought for what he rightfully is
00:16:43He was a younger twin!
00:16:44By what?
00:16:45Twelve minutes, was it?
00:16:47Your father was only given the airship because he was the favourite son
00:16:50And you are willing to destroy our family over such nonsense?
00:16:56I am
00:16:57I am
00:16:59But it doesn't have to go that way, cousin
00:17:02Simply relinquish your claim to the throne to me
00:17:05And I'll drop the charges
00:17:07They won't stand anyway
00:17:09Oh, they will
00:17:11I have every High Court judge in my back pocket
00:17:15If you even try and take this to trial
00:17:18I will ruin you
00:17:19I will ruin you
00:17:50You've reached the chicken pen
00:17:53But it's all out of hens
00:17:55Leave a message and I'll clock you back
00:18:19That's gonna take some getting used to
00:18:32That's going to take some getting used to.
00:19:02It's an honor to finally meet you, Your Majesty.
00:19:06I wish I could say the same.
00:19:09It's good that you're here, though. Sign this.
00:19:14An annulment agreement?
00:19:16Well, I presume your ridiculous marriage has not been consummated yet due to my son's situation.
00:19:22Sign the contract and let's end this foolishness.
00:19:26I can't.
00:19:28You can, and you will.
00:19:31No. Edward promised me that he'd pay for my sister's cancelled tuition, and I can't let her down.
00:19:37Well, if it's just the money you're here for, have it.
00:19:47This feels wrong.
00:19:49Either you sign, or we force you to.
00:19:53Trust me, we still keep some nasty traditions in this palace.
00:20:01You asked me to find a bride worthy of the crown. So I did.
00:20:21The girls are commoners.
00:20:23No, father. She is my wife.
00:20:27I will not let you change that.
00:20:29I'm so sorry for today.
00:20:41I don't want your apologies.
00:20:43I want the truth.
00:20:45Did you hurt Princess Dima?
00:20:49No.
00:20:51My cousin Marcus is trying to smear my reputation.
00:20:55Why should I believe you?
00:20:57Why do you think you're here, Ari?
00:21:01I don't know.
00:21:03I was supposed to marry Princess Dima for political reasons.
00:21:09When she cheated on me, I made a vow to only marry the person that I wanted.
00:21:13And then I found you.
00:21:15We barely know each other.
00:21:17Then give me a chance.
00:21:21I saw how you would go to any length to save your sister.
00:21:24And it resonated with me because...
00:21:28I lost my mother to cancer.
00:21:30Oh, Edward.
00:21:35Ari, I fell in love with your humanity.
00:21:40And now I'm asking that you trust in mine.
00:21:43I am innocent.
00:21:46Edward, you're shaking.
00:22:00I never kissed the bride.
00:22:09It's still our wedding day for another five minutes.
00:22:31Wow.
00:22:33This hospital is amazing.
00:22:35I can't believe you did all of this for me and my family, Edward.
00:22:39I can't wait to tell them that we're married.
00:22:46Mom?
00:22:48Mom?
00:22:50What's wrong?
00:22:55I'm...
00:22:57I'm Lisa in a coma.
00:23:00Mom?
00:23:10So you ran off to get hitched while your sister fights for her life?
00:23:14It wasn't like that.
00:23:16That big shiny ring suggests otherwise.
00:23:20Edward is paying for him these treatments.
00:23:22He's the reason that she's in this hospital.
00:23:25Why?
00:23:26What does he get out of it?
00:23:28Me.
00:23:31You sold yourself to him?
00:23:33Is that what you're telling me?
00:23:35Friendly, Mom.
00:23:37Friendly.
00:23:45This is Dr. Mortimer.
00:23:47My private physician.
00:23:49I recommend we perform a stem cell transplant right away.
00:23:52It's risky, but it could save Henley's life.
00:23:56Ari, your medical record shows you could be an ideal donor.
00:24:00Just show me where to sign, Doc.
00:24:02I don't even know this person.
00:24:03She could be a quack.
00:24:05If Edward trusts it, then so do I.
00:24:09We will get both of you prepped for surgery immediately.
00:24:11Mom.
00:24:12Oh, sweetheart.
00:24:13Here.
00:24:14Have some water.
00:24:17He hasn't left your side.
00:24:18I'm so sorry about before.
00:24:19I was just struggling so much without you here.
00:24:20And they...
00:24:21She's still sleeping.
00:24:22But the surgery was a success.
00:24:23I can't believe what you did for your sister.
00:24:24selling yourself to this man.
00:24:26I was just struggling so much without you here.
00:24:29And they...
00:24:30She's still sleeping.
00:24:32The surgery was a success.
00:24:35I can't believe what you did for your sister.
00:24:41It's out of the way.
00:24:44Does he want you to leave you again?
00:24:49I can't believe what you did for your sister, selling yourself to this man, what they're
00:24:56saying about him in the papers.
00:24:59It's all lies, mom.
00:25:01Someone's trying to get him.
00:25:04Doctor, Ari's awake.
00:25:19Come on, hold on.
00:25:28Everybody.
00:25:33Look at you, Papa!
00:25:53I'm not your pal.
00:26:07That wasn't very nice.
00:26:09Field trip's over.
00:26:10We need to get you and the princess to a thief house now.
00:26:23How are you feeling now?
00:26:38Who the hell were they, Edward?
00:26:41They must have been sent by Marcus.
00:26:43He wants the throne that badly that he'd try and kill his own cousin.
00:26:47Try to push out your mind.
00:26:49I can't.
00:26:51I can't stop thinking about how close they came to losing you.
00:26:55I nearly lost you.
00:26:57You would have sacrificed yourself to save me.
00:27:01Why?
00:27:03You know why.
00:27:07Say it, Ari.
00:27:11Say it.
00:27:13Because I love you, Edward.
00:27:17And I can't let you go.
00:27:21from Jackson,
00:27:26I can't let you go to the worst mindset.
00:27:27If I call it a ν compared to your client,
00:27:29I can't let you go.
00:27:30But I don't believe in everything.
00:27:31I never can if you're ever back.
00:27:32I can't let you go, like this world.
00:27:33If you were around the world,
00:27:34I was just sure you had to birthday.
00:27:35I took you down.
00:27:36If so,
00:27:38if you didn't believe to come up with you.
00:27:40You won't have a plan.
00:27:41Don't believe me.
00:27:42I have to choose yourself.
00:27:43I will.
00:27:44I am anymiah.
00:27:46I need her to check my mind.
00:27:47This is how I learned today.
00:27:48I'm sorry.
00:28:15Did I wake you?
00:28:16Oh, wow.
00:28:20Again?
00:28:21Yeah, well, he's going to take us to breakfast,
00:28:23but we're not allowed to be.
00:28:30Percy.
00:28:32So much for this being a safe room.
00:28:35Sorry, Your Highnesses,
00:28:35but we need to get you back to Australia right away.
00:28:38But I wanted to see Henley first.
00:28:40Yes, and I wanted to get some answers from the assassin.
00:28:43Well, that could be difficult.
00:28:44He's just been murdered in a cell.
00:28:45Well, someone didn't want him to talk.
00:28:48Marcus.
00:28:49I know it's not the perfect honeymoon,
00:29:03but we used to spend every Christmas at Oakville when I was a boy.
00:29:08It was my mother's favorite place.
00:29:11No wonder.
00:29:12It's beautiful.
00:29:13Can I help you, sir?
00:29:22I'm here to escort Prince Edward and Princess Arya on their honeymoon.
00:29:25Prince Edward is welcome.
00:29:27The lady is not.
00:29:29Excuse me?
00:29:31King's orders, Your Highness.
00:29:33He doesn't recognize her as a member of the royal family.
00:29:35How dare you question my wife to just, Missy?
00:29:42I'll have you discharged.
00:29:44I'll deal with this.
00:29:50Let us through, lad.
00:29:51That's an order.
00:29:52Your order doesn't outtrack the king's.
00:29:55Actually, in matters of security, it does.
00:29:57There's currently a threat on the lives of both the prince and the princess.
00:29:59Do you want their deaths on your conscience?
00:30:08Oh, easy.
00:30:11I'm sorry, my love.
00:30:12This is outrageous.
00:30:14Oh, believe me, this is not my first traffic fight.
00:30:17Let me show you how we resolve things the American way.
00:30:19Well, you've been about as useful as a screen door and a submarine kit.
00:30:38You know, I like this better than the palace.
00:30:59It feels more...
00:31:00I don't know.
00:31:03Like home.
00:31:04Yeah, if your home has 23 bathrooms, 30,000 acres and a dozen horses, then sure.
00:31:11Oh, you'll love this.
00:31:15Every Christmas, we used to put a play on for the adults.
00:31:19Aw, will you pee to Pam?
00:31:21One year.
00:31:22And here is my costume from the Nutcracker.
00:31:26Oh.
00:31:28Oh.
00:31:32Prince Charming.
00:31:34At your service, my lady.
00:31:37Oh, my hero.
00:31:44It suits you.
00:31:47Well, maybe our kids will wear these one day.
00:31:49Good practice for the real thing.
00:31:55Ah.
00:31:56Another family tradition.
00:31:59My first kill, in fact.
00:32:01You killed the stag?
00:32:07Edward, that's horrible.
00:32:10Edward, that's horrible.
00:32:13Well, no.
00:32:14It's heritage.
00:32:15There are mounts here, dating back to the 18th century.
00:32:20Oh, really?
00:32:21And did they use a guillotine to chop off their heads?
00:32:23You're being ridiculous.
00:32:26Me?
00:32:28I find it ridiculous, no barbaric, that you could butcher one of these creatures for sport.
00:32:33No, we don't butcher them.
00:32:35We have the utmost respect for our game.
00:32:38Your game.
00:32:39Your game.
00:32:40If you had respect for your game, you wouldn't call it your game.
00:32:44God, how could I have been so wrong about you?
00:32:47What does that mean?
00:32:48You're just like one of them.
00:32:50A little snob with a big gun.
00:32:53You're judging me because of my class.
00:32:56Yes.
00:32:57Killing things to impress people?
00:32:59It's horrible.
00:33:00Beg your pardon?
00:33:01Not now, Percy.
00:33:02Not now, Percy.
00:33:03Apologies, your highnesses, but I think you're going to want to see this.
00:33:10How are you feeling now, your highness?
00:33:12See for yourself.
00:33:20Edward has to face justice.
00:33:22We can't be ruled by a criminal.
00:33:24The prince is innocent until proven guilty.
00:33:28And he'll have his day in court.
00:33:30There is something else you should know about him.
00:33:33Darling?
00:33:35He called off our wedding so that he could marry an American prostitute named Harry Douglas.
00:33:42How dare they?
00:33:45These people are not fit to wear the crown.
00:33:48We'd make a better king and queen than my cousin Edward and his yank, Whore.
00:33:52A persuasive argument.
00:33:55Let's hope the public disagrees.
00:33:56You've not only brought this family into disrepute, Edward, but the crown itself.
00:34:07You really believe the accusations?
00:34:10Will they tally with your reckless decision to marry this commoner?
00:34:14I'll give you one last chance to end this farce.
00:34:17Sign the annulment and we'll deny everything to the press.
00:34:20No.
00:34:24Arya is my wife.
00:34:28Now and forever.
00:34:29So be it.
00:34:33Your marriage stands.
00:34:35You honor me, father.
00:34:37I'm not only father to you.
00:34:39I'm father to this nation.
00:34:41And I will not have you jeopardize the crown.
00:34:44Now, Xavier, you shall be my successor and the new crown prince of Estria.
00:34:56You can't do that.
00:34:58It goes against convention, but these are unconventional times.
00:35:01No, you can't do that because I don't want it.
00:35:05It's not about what you want.
00:35:07We're at war with your cousin and maybe with Lathina soon too.
00:35:11We need a show of strength.
00:35:13Giving in to Marcus's games.
00:35:16That's a show of strength.
00:35:17It wipes the slate clean.
00:35:21Xavier will be the new face of the monarchy.
00:35:24You'll marry a woman of stature and sire and heir.
00:35:31Are you blind?
00:35:36Do you just ignore what's right in front of you?
00:35:38What are you talking about now?
00:35:41I won't marry.
00:35:43I won't have an heir.
00:35:46And I won't be king.
00:35:48Because I'm gay.
00:35:52The monarchy is above sexuality, Xavier.
00:35:56It's your crown too tight around the cranium.
00:35:59I'd rather announce all my titles than continue living this lie.
00:36:04What have I done to deserve these boys?
00:36:07You know, that's a good question.
00:36:09You have two incredible brave sons.
00:36:12But you didn't do anything to deserve them.
00:36:15No, I'm warning you, father.
00:36:16No, honestly, it's okay.
00:36:18I've got this.
00:36:20You think I'm scared of you, Maxwell?
00:36:22I'm not.
00:36:24I'm just so disappointed.
00:36:25You see, I never met my dad.
00:36:28And when we first met, I thought I would finally feel what it's like to have a real father.
00:36:34And now, honestly, I'm...
00:36:37I wish I'd never found out.
00:36:40You say you're father to the nation.
00:36:43You're not even a good father to your own sons.
00:36:45You say you're father to your own sons.
00:37:15No, no, no, it's fine.
00:37:17I'll try it.
00:37:20Actually, I wanted to apologize for yesterday about the stag thing.
00:37:25After our argument with your dad, I kind of...
00:37:28I realized how different our upbringings were.
00:37:31It wasn't fair to judge you for that.
00:37:34I appreciate that.
00:37:36And, um, what you said to him too.
00:37:39Morning.
00:37:54The king has arranged for Princess Arie to make her first public appearance.
00:37:58What?
00:37:59He said, and I quote, um, put that girl on TV.
00:38:03She's got some fire in her belly.
00:38:06He thinks we can beat Marcus by winning over the people.
00:38:10Well, that is great news.
00:38:11He did have one stipulation.
00:38:13You're to return to the palace, ma'am, for lessons in etiquette.
00:38:16And he'll be your personal tutor.
00:38:31Princess Ariana.
00:38:37Forgive me.
00:38:37My behavior has been unbecoming.
00:38:44Yeah, I don't really know what that means, but, um, apologies if I said it.
00:38:49Estrians respect their kings, but they love their queens.
00:38:53So, we have to work on your decorum.
00:38:57Thankfully, you'll be learning from the best.
00:38:59That's not a very decorum-y thing to say, Your Majesty.
00:39:02The word you're looking for is decorous.
00:39:04And I'm not talking about myself.
00:39:07I'm talking about your mother-in-law.
00:39:15Christmas is a time of joy.
00:39:17Notice her posture.
00:39:19And of her.
00:39:20Her poise.
00:39:21You're straight, as though you have an iron rod.
00:39:24Across the street.
00:39:25To everyone watching.
00:39:26This is your etiquette lesson, not mine.
00:39:28Now, repeat after her.
00:39:30My husband and I would like to wish you a very merry Christmas.
00:39:37Well, you said all the words in with the right order.
00:39:42What was she like?
00:39:45A lot like you.
00:39:47She had a very kind way with people.
00:39:49Her charity work was her life.
00:39:52Boys were devastated to lose her.
00:39:56And you?
00:39:58It's never been the same without her.
00:40:09She's an inspiration?
00:40:11Yes.
00:40:13Our next queen has a lot to live up to.
00:40:15Good evening.
00:40:16Good evening.
00:40:16Tonight I'm joined by Prince Edward's new bride, Princess Ariana.
00:40:25Welcome, Your Royal Highness.
00:40:26Good evening.
00:40:28Esther was shocked to learn about your recent marriage.
00:40:32Could you tell us more about how you met Prince Edward?
00:40:34We met in my hometown of Queens.
00:40:37Edward found that very, um, serendipitous.
00:40:39Princess Dima alerted that you were working as a prostitute there.
00:40:44No, that is not true.
00:40:46So you are calling your fellow princess a liar?
00:40:49She was misinformed.
00:40:50To be clear, did Prince Edward ever pay you for your services?
00:40:55No, not in that way.
00:40:56So he has paid you?
00:40:57I'd rather not discuss.
00:40:59Ma'am, the public has a right to know who their new princess really is.
00:41:03So, I would ask you again, did Prince Edward ever pay you for your services?
00:41:25All right, yes, he paid for me.
00:41:28I was his mail order bride.
00:41:29And maybe that's just as much as a scandal, but marrying Prince Edward is the best thing
00:41:34that I have ever done.
00:41:39My sister was fighting cancer, and I needed the money to save her.
00:41:42And he gave me that.
00:41:44But he gave me so much more.
00:41:47I'm not talking about the crown or the castles.
00:41:51I'm talking about his love and his kindness and his respect.
00:41:55And yes, I am calling Princess Demer a liar.
00:42:01I don't know why she wants to ruin us.
00:42:03Maybe she's bitter because Edward didn't forgive her after she was caught cheating on him with
00:42:08Prince Marcus.
00:42:09You can ask her about that.
00:42:11But what I do know is Edward is a good man.
00:42:15And yes, this started out as a transaction for sure.
00:42:18I needed the money to save my sister, and he needed to be saved for marrying a woman that
00:42:23he didn't love.
00:42:25But now my sister is getting better.
00:42:28And Edward has a wife who couldn't love him more.
00:42:44It's about time you started fighting back.
00:42:48Nice performance.
00:42:50Really appealing to the old heartstrings.
00:42:52It wasn't a performance.
00:42:53It's always a performance, princess.
00:42:56Only the people, they don't want love stories.
00:43:00They want dirt.
00:43:01That's why I'll win.
00:43:03Because I'm not afraid to get my hands dirty.
00:43:06As we discovered in New York.
00:43:08Are you referring to the assassination attempt?
00:43:11In fact, I'm the only reason you're still breathing.
00:43:16What?
00:43:16It was Lathina who wanted you dead.
00:43:20But I convinced King Aithin to hold off for now.
00:43:26See, he's willing to let you live so long as you...
00:43:30Give my airship to you.
00:43:32Clever boy.
00:43:34Make all the threats you want.
00:43:37I will prove my innocence in court.
00:43:39Oh, even if you are somehow able to convince my judge that Dima's the one lying, you won't convince her father.
00:43:49If you're found not guilty, he'll simply declare war.
00:43:53You just can't win.
00:43:55Your Highness, we're getting record engagements on our socials.
00:43:58People are going crazy for their new princess.
00:44:00Maybe they do want love stories after all.
00:44:06Oh, here's a good one.
00:44:17Starting a petition to rename Princess Harry the Queen of Spades.
00:44:21Because she just buried Princess Dima live on TV.
00:44:23Princess Harry is the best American import since fried chicken waffles.
00:44:32God, you don't actually eat that, do you?
00:44:34Um, your brother literally made me try a sausage made of blood.
00:44:38Fair.
00:44:38Your wife's a sensation in the nation.
00:44:49Father's etiquette lesson's clearly paid off.
00:44:53Speaking of, listen to this.
00:44:56Princess Harry should give this year's Christmas speech.
00:44:59King Maxwell's are as dry as my husband's turkey dinner.
00:45:02Yes, I saw that one.
00:45:03In fact, he gave me an idea.
00:45:09Ma'am, we're ready for you.
00:45:12Ready for what?
00:45:19Whenever you're ready, Your Highness.
00:45:22My fellow Estrians.
00:45:25You know, that feels pretty strange to say.
00:45:28I'm sure you're used to spending your Christmases with King Maxwell.
00:45:31Well, but, surprise, you've got me this year.
00:45:35You know, my own Christmases are usually spent with my family.
00:45:39My sister, my mom, and me.
00:45:42And yet, here I am, giving a speech to all of you.
00:45:45But it still feels the same.
00:45:48It feels like family.
00:45:51Because you have opened your hearts to me.
00:45:54And made me feel at home here.
00:45:55So, from the bottom of my heart, thank you.
00:46:00And Merry Christmas from the palace.
00:46:07You were amazing.
00:46:08We'll upload it to your new channel tonight.
00:46:11I just wish my family was really here.
00:46:13Well, I think you'll like your present, then.
00:46:20Merry Christmas, Ari.
00:46:22Hey!
00:46:28You know, I can't believe you're actually here.
00:46:30I can't believe you're here.
00:46:32You're a goddamn princess.
00:46:35Ari, what you did for me,
00:46:37I could never repay you.
00:46:39But you're getting better as payment enough.
00:46:41Oh, cool.
00:46:43I guess you won't be needing your present, then.
00:46:45Too fast.
00:46:47I wanted to get you something to say thank you.
00:46:50It's not quite Crown Jewels level, but...
00:46:56Aw.
00:47:01Thank you, Anne.
00:47:03Where's your half?
00:47:04I don't need it.
00:47:06You already gave me a part of yourself with the transplant.
00:47:09And now you'll have a part of me, too.
00:47:11Oh, Anne.
00:47:17Ari, I know you did all this for me.
00:47:21But are you really happy here?
00:47:24I don't know.
00:47:27I guess my life is just really different now.
00:47:29Edward, have you heard from your lawyers?
00:47:44They've hired a PI to look into Marcus's bribery of state officials.
00:47:49But he's covered his tracks.
00:47:54I'm not sure we can beat him.
00:47:56Ari, there's a New Year's street party tonight.
00:47:58We have to go.
00:47:59You're not well enough.
00:48:01I've been here a whole week, and you haven't let me out once.
00:48:03I want to go see Estria.
00:48:05Yeah, there'll be plenty of time for that when you're better.
00:48:07But I feel fine.
00:48:08I promise.
00:48:09I...
00:48:09No, Henley.
00:48:10We're working on a strategy for Edward's trial.
00:48:12We really don't have time for this.
00:48:13She's been cooped up for months.
00:48:21Must have been tough.
00:48:30Henley?
00:48:31Henley, look, I'm really sorry.
00:48:33We can celebrate here if you like.
00:48:36Henley, please, look, I'm sorry.
00:48:38Can I come in?
00:48:38Can I come in?
00:48:38Can I come in?
00:48:40Damn it, Henley.
00:48:53Hey, have you seen this girl?
00:48:54Oh my god, Princess Ari.
00:48:57Please, please, she's missing, and she's my sister, so...
00:49:00Oh yeah, she's just there doing some shots.
00:49:03What?
00:49:07What are you even doing here?
00:49:09Ari, please, enough.
00:49:10With the grown-up boys.
00:49:11You're still in recovery, and you're underage.
00:49:13I'm not in this country.
00:49:14We're going home.
00:49:15Ari, please.
00:49:17Just let me have one night.
00:49:20I never thought I'd get to see another new year.
00:49:22I knew you'd pull the cats off.
00:49:26Fine.
00:49:26But no more drinking.
00:49:28Love you, sis.
00:49:29Five, four, three, two, one.
00:49:44Happy New Year!
00:49:45Oh, come on.
00:49:59I'm just having some fun.
00:50:01Don't you get it?
00:50:02I'm a public figure now.
00:50:04I have more important things to worry about than fun.
00:50:05Fine.
00:50:06Go back to your prince, and your palace, and your fancy new life.
00:50:11I'm sorry that I wanted to spend time with my sister.
00:50:15I guess she's just too important for that now.
00:50:18It's not what it looks like.
00:50:48This creak grabbed me for like half a second before I threw him off.
00:50:54I'm surprised anyone had a chance to take a photo.
00:50:57Edward, speak to me.
00:51:01Even if that is true, this is on every front page the day before my trial begins.
00:51:08Well, Dean Marcus must be behind it.
00:51:10It's another smear campaign.
00:51:14It's working.
00:51:15This will lose us to country's support just when we need it the most.
00:51:18Court is now in session.
00:51:40The prosecution may call its first witness.
00:51:44Thank you, Your Honor.
00:51:47The prosecution calls Captain Harry Percy to the stand.
00:51:52Do you swear to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth?
00:52:04I do.
00:52:08Captain Percy, you are Prince Edward's bodyguard, are you not?
00:52:13I am.
00:52:15You go everywhere with him, don't you?
00:52:18I do.
00:52:20Did you go with him to visit Princess Demor on the night of your soul?
00:52:24I did.
00:52:26Captain Percy, did you witness Prince Edward physically attack Princess Demor that night?
00:52:33I did.
00:52:37I did.
00:52:48I just don't understand why Percy would lie.
00:52:51Yeah, I know.
00:52:52It sucks.
00:52:53He was really hot.
00:52:55I'm really not in the mood, Hen.
00:52:57I'm sorry.
00:52:58Mari, I don't know what you want me to say.
00:53:01You mean Percy clearly worship you guys.
00:53:03I guess that human trashbag Marcus probably got to him the same way he got to the judge.
00:53:09Huh.
00:53:10What?
00:53:11The bruises.
00:53:13We know Edward didn't give them to Demor.
00:53:14Sure, it was Marcus.
00:53:16Yeah, but we always assumed they were working together, right?
00:53:20But what if Marcus was manipulating Demor?
00:53:24Forcing her to blame her injuries on Edward?
00:53:26Edward, oh my god.
00:53:28Hen, I can kiss you right now.
00:53:32I need to go and speak to my fellow princess.
00:53:35It's judgment day for Prince Edward, and his bodyguard's damning testimony can prove the deciding factor in the judge's verdict.
00:53:43And here she comes, Princess Arie.
00:53:47Just listen to those rules.
00:53:48She is, of course, caught up in her own adultery scandal, and this could be, as well, a dark day for a world couple.
00:54:01Demor.
00:54:02What do you want?
00:54:06It's not too late to stop this.
00:54:09Why would I want to do that?
00:54:11Well, I believe it's Prince Marcus who's been hurting you, and forced you to blame it on Edward.
00:54:16We're facing another beating, or worse.
00:54:18But it's okay, you don't have to be scared anymore.
00:54:20I can make you safe.
00:54:22Oh.
00:54:24Arie.
00:54:40It's the best joke I've ever heard.
00:54:46You poor naive girl.
00:54:49Did you really think my brain-dead fiancΓ© was behind all this?
00:54:53I just made him believe it was all his idea.
00:54:55Our affair in the throne room, bribing the judge.
00:55:00I even had to force him to hit me.
00:55:03He thinks this whole charade is about winning him the throne.
00:55:09And what is it really about?
00:55:13Bringing down the piercements.
00:55:15For generations, they've looked down their noses at little Athena.
00:55:18We've been invaded and attacked too many times to count.
00:55:25And yet, my father sent me here to marry your loser, Prince.
00:55:30So I decided to use Marcus to divide the family.
00:55:34Bring them down from the inside.
00:55:36I didn't factor you in, of course, but clearly I needn't have worried about Edward Stollestore, Princess.
00:55:43You'll soon be forgotten.
00:55:46A side note in the downfall of the Estrian royal family.
00:55:51Oh.
00:55:52Chub-chub.
00:55:53Time to hear your husband's guilty verdict.
00:55:55You won't get away with this.
00:55:57Oh, darling.
00:55:59I already have.
00:56:00Oh, here they are.
00:56:06Princess Dima, did you know that this conversation with Princess Ahri was recorded and live-streamed on other social media?
00:56:14What?
00:56:15Who's the naive one now?
00:56:17Oh, you devious little bitch.
00:56:21I learned from the best.
00:56:26If you ever threaten my family again, I will put you in a box smaller than the cell that you're headed for.
00:56:33Okay?
00:56:33Are you all right?
00:56:36Yes, where's Edward?
00:56:38The judge has found him guilty.
00:56:42Wait!
00:56:44I have new evidence that proves that Prince Edward is innocent.
00:56:47I've already passed my judgment.
00:56:51The prince is guilty as charged.
00:56:53Well, Your Honor, I also have evidence that you were bribed into making that verdict.
00:56:57How dare you!
00:56:59Bailiff!
00:57:00Stop right there.
00:57:02This sham is over.
00:57:05You hold no authority here.
00:57:08This is the Crown Court, is it not?
00:57:10I am the living embodiment of the Crown, and I revoke your spurious guilty verdict.
00:57:16And I charge you, Prince Marcus, and Princess Dima, with treason.
00:57:22Arrest them.
00:57:22Save me!
00:57:25Save me!
00:57:25Save me!
00:57:26Save me!
00:57:27Save me!

00:57:49Save me!
00:57:50Save me!
00:57:51Save me!
00:57:52You want to see us, father?
00:58:06I owe you an apology, Edward.
00:58:09You're never capable of such violence.
00:58:11You've always been a man of peace.
00:58:13And, Larry, you share the same compassion and charisma
00:58:17as Edward's mother had in spades.
00:58:20You'll make a great queen.
00:58:23Thank you, father.
00:58:25Of course, we do still have to work on the decorum.
00:58:27We have plenty of time for that, pops.
00:58:31Actually, the public are thirsty for new blood,
00:58:35and, well, I'm ready for a rest.
00:58:38So I've decided to abdicate the throne to you two, young upstarts.
00:58:43Good luck.
00:58:50Your Royal Highness.
00:59:02We're going to New York, Percy, and we need protection.
00:59:06I might let you down.
00:59:08Forget about it.
00:59:09You were looking out for your family, and I get that.
00:59:12So shave that stubble, soldier.
00:59:14We got a plane to catch.
00:59:15Yes, ma'am.
00:59:24Good morning.
00:59:25We're very happy to...
00:59:26Sorry.
00:59:29We're very happy to welcome you all here today.
00:59:32As you know, my sister recently beat cancer.
00:59:35It was a hard battle, and to pay for it, I became a princess.
00:59:43But that's not really an option for most people.
00:59:47So that's why we've opened Henley's House,
00:59:51a place where cancer patients can get free support throughout their treatment.
00:59:55So, um, please welcome the woman of the hour, Henley Douglas.
01:00:05I now declare Henley's House open!
01:00:14Well, I can't believe you made yourself first patient of Henley's House.
01:00:19Oh, God.
01:00:20I can't go through this again.
01:00:22Quit your bellyaching, Mom.
01:00:23Not every bellyache is a tumour.
01:00:25Do you ever feel like you liked her better when she was in a coma?
01:00:30Well, something did come up on the test results, folks.
01:00:35It's cancer.
01:00:36We're cursed.
01:00:38No, it's not cancer.
01:00:39Kidney stones.
01:00:41Liver disease.
01:00:42Mom.
01:00:42You're having a royal baby, Ari.
01:00:45Oh, my goodness.
01:00:46Oh, my goodness.
01:00:46Oh, my goodness.
01:00:53Our lives are about to change forever.
01:01:04In more ways than you know.
01:01:14I love you.
01:01:15I love you, too.
