Short filmTranscript
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 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, I'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.
00:01:00What am I going to do?
00:01:04I'm only on minimum wage.
00:01:06There are other ways to pay.
00:01:09Tell me, are you single?
00:01:11What?
00:01:12What's that got to do with anything?
00:01:14It might just save your sister's life.
00:01:16A deluxe mail order bride service?
00:01:21Hello?
00:01:22Dig out your best dress, Harry Douglas.
00:01:26We found you a bidder.
00:01:27Hello?
00:01:28Dig out your best dress, Harry Douglas.
00:01:29We found you a bidder.
00:01:30Hello?
00:01:31Dig out your best dress, Harry Douglas.
00:01:32We found you a bidder.
00:01:34In the end of the day, it might make the split care of their husband's mum.
00:01:36What?
00:01:37Pee?
00:01:38Oh, no, you won't do it!
00:01:39Oh no!
00:01:40Anyway, good dog.
00:01:41I can go, ha ha.
00:01:42Masyn.
00:01:43What?
00:01:44The number one in the next one who is M'BEM,
00:01:45so I may beising your mother.
00:01:46What do you think that's payments so I'm paying attention to you?
00:01:51Ah hemen?
00:01:52Oh
00:02:00I'm not safe.
00:02:02Your 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.
00:02:30She was last seen speaking to your cousin.
00:02:32Marcus is here.
00:02:35We'll find him before he starts any trouble.
00:02:36No need. I know exactly where he'll be.
00:02:49Dima!
00:02:51Edward!
00:02:53I'm sorry, my love. I don't know what came of him.
00:02:56I do.
00:02:57She wanted a taste of the true heir to the throne.
00:03:02Your Majesty, please.
00:03:05No.
00:03:06If either of you step foot in this palace again, I will have you both executed for treatment.
00:03:23Now get out.
00:03:28I 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?
00:03:48I wasn't the one fucking someone else on the throne.
00:03:52You watch your language, boy.
00:03:53She 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.
00:04:03I'll travel to Lathina and clear up your mess.
00:04:07But there will be a royal wedding.
00:04:11You are to find a new bride worthy of this crown.
00:04:15I'll take the night later.
00:04:30Well, thank you.
00:04:32I'll be back home.
00:04:33Arie Douglas, spread your arms, please.
00:04:50Um, we agreed that our first date wouldn't be physical, but...
00:04:55Is that really necessary?
00:04:59Your bag, please.
00:05:00You're not my date, are you?
00:05:03I shouldn't have signed up for this.
00:05:06No, I'm sorry.
00:05:07I think I'm just going to go.
00:05:08Ma'am?
00:05:09Your Highness.
00:05:16Prince Edward.
00:05:24His Royal Highness, Prince Edward Piercement of Australia, that's your service.
00:05:29Arie Douglas of Queens.
00:05:30Not a bad start.
00:05:34This is a joke, right?
00:05:35I mean, why would a prince need a mail-order bride?
00:05:38Have I read your profile?
00:05:40You're smart, beautiful, talented.
00:05:44But you're hiding something.
00:05:47You don't want money.
00:05:48You need it.
00:05:49You don't know anything about me.
00:05:51Precisely.
00:05:52So you're going to change that, or should I just assume that you are a gold digger like
00:05:57all the rest?
00:05:58You have a great day, Your Highness.
00:06:02Back to the airport, sir?
00:06:14No.
00:06:15Follow her.
00:06:16Follow her.
00:06:26How are you feeling today?
00:06:27Why do people keep treating me like I'm dying?
00:06:29We were just worried about you.
00:06:30What's wrong?
00:06:34I think I'm hallucinating.
00:06:36What?
00:06:37Isn't that Prince Edward?
00:06:38What the hell are you doing here?
00:06:40Ari, you're speaking to literal royalty.
00:06:42It's all right.
00:06:43We bumped into each other as I toured the hospital, and I was a little rude.
00:06:48I apologize, Miss Douglas.
00:06:49Could I have a word outside?
00:06:50You're doing this for your sister?
00:06:51Well done.
00:06:52Gold star for the Prince.
00:06:53If you marry me, I will pay for her whole treatment.
00:06:55Anything she needs.

00:07:47I love you, sis.
00:08:07Australian tradition dictates that you mustn't see each other again until your wedding day.
00:08:10What, so you 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 ask 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, and fast.
00:08:25Your new life starts now.
00:08:39Ma'am, this is Prince Edward's younger brother, Prince Xavier.
00:08:43Oh, hi, um, greetings, your royal highness.
00:08:48Oh, my God.
00:09:06She didn't even teach you how to curtsy.
00:09:08God, I'm sorry.
00:09:18Although that really was the worst curtsy I think I've ever seen.
00:09:22So you're the famous Ari Douglas I've heard so much about.
00:09:27I'm Edward's younger, funnier, more handsome, more charismatic little brother.
00:09:34Sorry you ended up with a dad, but, um...
00:09:36Hey, we still have time to fall in love.
00:09:39Run away before the wedding.
00:09:42Come with me.
00:09:47Uh, this is our little fixer-upper.
00:09:51Your room's round about the 312th on the left.
00:09:56I imagine you want to settle in and rest, but...
00:09:59We're already late for our first appointment.
00:10:05We're already late for our first appointment.
00:10:29From rags to riches, let's make you a princess.
00:10:47Yes, queen.
00:11:06Or should I say, yes, future queen.
00:11:09I've never seen myself like this.
00:11:11I'll strap those heels.
00:11:12When did Edna find a savage?
00:11:25Isn't it obvious?
00:11:27She's a whore.
00:11:28He 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.
00:11:42Go away.
00:11:53So this is true?
00:11:56Who are you?
00:11:57Your predecessor.
00:12:04You have a very pretty face.
00:12:08If you want to keep it that way, leave while you still can.
00:12:12Is that a threat?
00:12:13No, no, it's a warning.
00:12:16Edward is not the man he makes out to be.
00:12:28And trust me, my darling, you weren't the first one to fall for his trap.
00:12:34Harry?
00:12:40Harry, you're not leaving, are you?
00:12:41Harry?
00:12:44Harry?
00:12:47Harry?
00:12:48Harry?
00:13:05Harry, I've been transferred to the best cancer hospital in Manhattan.
00:13:08My treatment's being paid for by some anonymous donor.
00:13:12That's great, hen.
00:13:13I feel like I can finally breathe again.
00:13:16Oh, gotta go.
00:13:17Dog's here.
00:13:18Love you.
00:13:20Love you.
00:13:24Harry?
00:13:25Harry?
00:13:27It's your big day.
00:13:28Hey.

00:16:30I'd already have the crown
00:16:31that's what this is about
00:16:34discredited me in order to steal my birthright
00:16:37it's just as much my birthright
00:16:39as it is yours
00:16:40my father should have fought for what was rightfully his
00:16:43he was the younger twin
00:16:44by what
00:16:44twelve minutes
00:16:45was it
00:16:46your father was only given the airship
00:16:48because he was the favorite son
00:16:50and you are willing
00:16:52to destroy our family
00:16:54over such nonsense
00:16:56I am
00:16:58but it doesn't have to go that way cousin

00:17:08oh they will

00:17:20you

00:17:30I have toiam
00:17:31you
00:17:36Reach the chicken pen, but it's all out ahead. Leave a message and I'll clock you back.
00:18:06I'll clock you back.
00:18:36That's going to take some getting used to.
00:19:04It's an honor to finally meet you, Your Majesty.
00:19:07I wish I could say the same.
00:19:09It's good that you're here, though. Sign this.
00:19:15An annulment agreement?
00:19:17Well, I presume your ridiculous marriage has not been consummated yet due to my son's situation.
00:19:23Sign the contract and let's end this foolishness.
00:19:27I can't.
00:19:28You can, and you will.
00:19:31No.
00:19:32Edward promised me that he'd pay for my sister's cancer tuition and I can't let her down.
00:19:37Well, if it's just the money you're here for, have it.
00:19:40This 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.
00:19:58You asked me to find a bride worthy of the crown, so I did.
00:20:21The girls are commoner.
00:20:23No, father.
00:20:25She is my wife.
00:20:27I will not let you change that.
00:20:39I'm so sorry for today.
00:20:41I don't want your apologies.
00:20:44I want the truth.
00:20:47Did you hurt Princess Dima?
00:20:49No.
00:20:53My cousin Marcus is trying to smear my reputation.
00:20:56Why should I believe you?
00:21:00Why do you think you're here, Ari?
00:21:02I don't know.
00:21:04I 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.
00:21:14And then I found you.
00:21:17We barely know each other.
00:21:18Then give me a chance.
00:21:21I saw how you would go to any length to save your sister.
00:21:25And it resonated with me because...
00:21:28I lost my mother to cancer.
00:21:34Oh, Edward.
00:21:36Ari, I fell in love with your humanity.
00:21:38And now I'm asking that you trust in mine.
00:21:44I'm innocent.
00:21:47Edward, you're shaking.
00:21:49I never kissed the bride.
00:22:03I never kissed the bride.
00:22:09It's still our wedding day for another five minutes.
00:22:12Wow.
00:22:31Wow.
00:22:33This hospital is amazing.
00:22:34I can't believe you did all of this
00:22:37for me and my family, Edward.
00:22:39I can't wait to tell them that we're married.
00:22:47Mom?
00:22:48Mom?
00:22:51What's wrong?
00:22:55I'm...
00:22:56I'm losing a coma.
00:23:04So you ran off to get hitched
00:23:12while your sister fights for her life?
00:23:14It wasn't like that.
00:23:16That big shiny ring suggests otherwise.
00:23:21Edward is paying for him these treatments.
00:23:23He's the reason she's in this hospital.
00:23:25Why?
00:23:26What does he get out of it?
00:23:29Me.
00:23:31Who sold yourself to him?
00:23:33Is that what you're telling me?
00:23:36Friendly, Mom.
00:23:38Friendly.
00:23:44This is Dr. Mortimer.
00:23:47My private physician.
00:23:49I recommend we perform a stem cell transplant right away.
00:23:53It's risky, but it could save Henley's life.
00:23:56Ari, your medical record shows
00:23:58you could be an ideal donor.
00:24:00Just show me where to sign, Doc.
00:24:02I don't even know this person.
00:24:04She's gonna be a quack.
00:24:05If Edward trusts him, then so do I.
00:24:09We will get both of you prepped for surgery immediately.
00:24:12Mom?
00:24:13Mom?
00:24:14Well, sweetheart, here.
00:24:29Have some water.
00:24:33He hasn't left your side.
00:24:34I'm so sorry about before.
00:24:38I was just struggling so much without you here.
00:24:42Henley.
00:24:43She's still sleeping.
00:24:45But the surgery was a success.
00:24:49I can't believe what you did for your sister.
00:24:52Selling yourself to this man.
00:24:54What they're saying about him in the papers.
00:25:00It's all lies, Mom.
00:25:01Mom, someone's trying to get him.
00:25:05Doctor.
00:25:07Ari's awake.
00:25:08I get him.
00:25:20Ever!
00:25:21Ever!
00:25:22Ever!
00:25:23Elmer, Elmer, Elmer!
00:25:28Elmer!
00:25:42Elmer!
00:25:44Elmer!
00:25:51Fucking drop it, Bob!
00:26:02I'm not your pal.
00:26:06That wasn't very nice.
00:26:08Field trip's over.
00:26:10We need to get you and the princess, dear Theophouse.
00:26:12No!
00:26:14No!
00:26:36How are you feeling now?
00:26:38Who the hell were they, Edward?
00:26:40They must have been sent by Marcus.
00:26:42He 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.
00:26:52I can't stop thinking about how close they came to losing you.
00:26:54And I nearly lost you.
00:26:55And I nearly lost you.
00:26:57You would have sacrificed yourself to save me.
00:27:01Why?
00:27:03You know why?
00:27:04Say it, Ari.
00:27:05Say it.
00:27:06Say it.
00:27:07Because I love you, Edward.
00:27:11And I can't let you go.
00:27:13Because I love you.
00:27:14Because I love you, Edward.
00:27:15And I can't let you go.
00:27:20You're whiteboard.
00:27:21Who?
00:27:24I never lost you.
00:27:25What?
00:27:27What do I am going to do, Mac?
00:27:29Even if i change in you.
00:27:31You killed them.
00:27:32And I'm going to be a server to Omega.
00:27:33If I went to the room to my home.
00:27:35And I didn't miss the rest of her.
00:27:37Or I can't pay myostracial studio.
00:27:39And you never know what he did when and i'm so honest.
00:28:10Hello.
00:28:15Sorry, did I wake you?
00:28:18Oh, wow. Again?
00:28:21Yeah, well, he's going to take us to breakfast, but we're not allowed to leave.
00:28:30Percy.
00:28:32So much for this being a safe room.
00:28:35Sorry, Your Highnesses, but 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. He's just been murdered in a cell.
00:28:46Someone didn't want him to talk.
00:28:48Marcus.
00:28:49I know it's not the perfect honeymoon, but we used to spend every Christmas at Oakville when I was a boy.
00:29:08It was my mother's favorite place.
00:29:10No wonder.
00:29:12It's beautiful.
00:29:21Can 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.
00:29:32He 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?
00:30:03Oh, 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.
00:30:33Well, 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, I 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 plane for the adults.
00:31:19Aw, we, Peter Pan.
00:31:20One year.
00:31:22And here is my costume from the Nutcracker.
00:31:27Oh.
00:31:28Oh.
00:31:32Prince Charming.
00:31:35At your service, milady.
00:31:37Oh, my hero.
00:31:39It 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.
00:32:01Wait, you killed this stag?
00:32:07Edward, that's horrible.
00:32:10Edward, that's horrible.
00:32:13Well, no, it's heritage.
00:32:16There 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?
00:32:25You're being ridiculous.
00:32:27Me?
00:32:27I 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 it 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.
00:33:04But 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.
00:33:27And he'll have his day in court.
00:33:31There 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!
00:33:43These 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?
00:34:10Well, they tally with your reckless decision to marry this commoner.
00:34:13Father, I'll give you one last chance to end this farce.
00:34:17Sign the annulment and we'll deny everything to the press.
00:34:24No.
00:34:26Arya 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.
00:34:45Xavier.
00:34:47You shall be my successor.
00:34:49And the new crown prince of Estria.
00:34:56You can't do that.
00:34:57It 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.
00:35:09And 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.
00:35:23You'll marry a woman of stature.
00:35:25Lathina and sire and heir.
00:35:31Are you blind?
00:35:36Or do you just ignore what's right in front of you?
00:35:38What are you talking about now?
00:35:41I won't marry.
00:35:44I won't have an heir.
00:35:46And I won't be king.
00:35:48Because I'm gay.
00:35:49The monarchy is above sexuality, Xavier.
00:35:57It's your crown too tight around the cranium.
00:36:00I'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.
00:36:13But you didn't do anything to deserve them.
00:36:15No, I'm warning you, father.
00:36:16No, honestly.
00:36:17It'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.
00:36:26You see, I never met my dad.
00:36:28And when we first met,
00:36:30I thought I would finally feel what it's like to have a real father.
00:36:33And now, honestly, I'm...
00:36:36I 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.
00:37:03Um, what's this?
00:37:07Oh, that's black pudding.
00:37:09It's, um, made from blood.
00:37:13You don't have to eat it.
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 stack thing.
00:37:25After our argument with your dad,
00:37:27I kind of, I realized how different our upbringings were.
00:37:31It wasn't fair to judge you for that.
00:37:33I appreciate that.
00:37:36And, um, what you said to him, too.
00:37:51Morning.
00:37:54The king has arranged for Princess Ari to make her first public appearance.
00:37:58What?
00:37:59He said, and I quote, um,
00:38:02put 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.
00:38:09Well, that is great news.
00:38:11He did have one stipulation.
00:38:13You're to return to the palace, ma'am,
00:38:15for lessons in etiquette.
00:38:16And he'll be your personal tutor.
00:38:19And he'll be your personal tutor.
00:38:31Princess Arianna.
00:38:33Forgive me.
00:38:37Forgive me.
00:38:40My behavior has been unbecoming.
00:38:44Yeah, I don't really know what that means,
00:38:46but, um, apologies accepted.
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.
00:39:05And I'm not talking about myself.
00:39:06I'm talking about your mother-in-law.
00:39:15Christmas is a time of joy.
00:39:18Notice her posture.
00:39:19And of her.
00:39:20Her poise.
00:39:21You're straight up.
00:39:23As 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.
00:39:29Repeat after.
00:39:30My husband and I would like to wish you
00:39:34a 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.
00:39:52The boys were devastated to lose her.
00:39:56And you?
00:40:00It's never been the same without her.
00:40:06She's an inspiration?
00:40:11Yes.
00:40:13Our next queen has a lot to live up to.
00:40:15Good evening.
00:40:21Tonight I'm joined by Prince Edward's new bride, Princess Ariana.
00:40:25Welcome, Your Royal Highness.
00:40:28Good evening.
00:40:30Esther was shocked to learn about your recent marriage.
00:40:32Could you tell us more about how you met Prince Edward?
00:40:35We met in my hometown of Queens.
00:40:37Edward found that very serendipitous.
00:40:40Princess 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.
00:40:51To be clear, did Prince Edward ever paid you for his services?
00:40:55No, not in that way.
00:40:56So he has paid you?
00:40:58I'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.
00:41:06Did Prince Edward ever pay you for his services?
00:41:25All right, yes.
00:41:26He paid for me.
00:41:27I was his mail-order bride.
00:41:30And maybe that's just as much a scandal,
00:41:32but marrying Prince Edward is the best thing that I have ever done.
00:41:39My sister was fighting cancer, and I needed the money to save her.
00:41:43And 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.
00:41:57And 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
00:42:05after she was caught cheating on him with Prince 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,
00:42:21and he needed to be saved from marrying a woman that he didn't love.
00:42:25But now my sister is getting better.
00:42:27And Edward has a wife who couldn't love him more.
00:42:44It's about time you started fighting back.
00:42:46Nice performance.
00:42:50Really appealing to the old heartstrings.
00:42:52It wasn't a performance.
00:42:53It's always a performance, princess.
00:42:57Only 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?
00:43:10In fact, I'm the only reason you're still breathing.
00:43:16What?
00:43:17It was Athena who wanted you dead.
00:43:20But I convinced King Aithen to hold off for now.
00:43:25See, 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
00:43:44that Dima's the one lying,
00:43:46you won't convince her father.
00:43:49If you're found not guilty,
00:43:51he'll simply declare war.
00:43:53You just can't win.
00:43:55Your Highness,
00:43:56we get in record engagements on our socials.
00:43:58People are going crazy for their new princess.
00:44:03Maybe they do want love stories after all.
00:44:05Oh, here's a good one.
00:44:17Starting a petition to rename Princess Harry
00:44:19the Queen of Spades.
00:44:21Because she just buried Princess Dima live on TV.
00:44:25Princess Harry is the best American import
00:44:28since 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.
00:44:47Your wife's a sensation in the nation.
00:44:49Father's etiquette lesson's clearly paid off.
00:44:53Speaking of,
00:44:54listen 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.
00:45:01Yes, I saw that one.
00:45:05In fact,
00:45:06it gave me an idea.
00:45:10Ma'am,
00:45:10we're ready for you.
00:45:12Ready for what?
00:45:19Whenever you're ready, Your Highness.
00:45:23My fellow Estrians.
00:45:24You know,
00:45:25that feels pretty strange to say.
00:45:28I'm sure you're used to spending your Christmases with King Maxwell.
00:45:31But,
00:45:32surprise,
00:45:33you've got me this year.
00:45:35You know,
00:45:35my own Christmases are usually spent with my family.
00:45:39My sister,
00:45:40my mom,
00:45:40and me.
00:45:42And yet,
00:45:42here I am,
00:45:43giving 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.
00:45:56So from the bottom of my heart,
00:45:58thank you.
00:46:00And Merry Christmas from the palace.
00:46:07You were amazing.
00:46:09We'll upload it to your new channel tonight.
00:46:11I just wish my family was really here.
00:46:18Well,
00:46:18I think you'll like your present, then.
00:46:20Merry Christmas, Ari.
00:46:22Henry.
00:46:28You know,
00:46:29I 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,
00:46:36what you did for me,
00:46:37I can never repay you.
00:46:39But you're getting better
00:46:40as payment and half.
00:46:42Oh,
00:46:42cool.
00:46:44I guess you won't be needing your present, then.
00:46:46Too fast.
00:46:47I wanted to get you something
00:46:48to say thank you.
00:46:50It's not quite crown jewels level,
00:46:52but...
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
00:47:08with a transplant.
00:47:09And now you'll have a part of me, too.
00:47:11Oh, Anne.
00:47:18Ari,
00:47:18I 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.
00:47:30Edward,
00:47:42have you heard from your lawyers?
00:47:44They've hired a PI
00:47:46to look into Marcus's bribery
00:47:47of state officials,
00:47:49but...
00:47:50he's covered his tracks.
00:47:54I'm not sure we can beat him.
00:47:56Ari,
00:47:57there's a New Year's street party tonight.
00:47:59We have to go.
00:47:59You're not well enough.
00:48:01I've been here a whole week
00:48:02and you haven't let me out once.
00:48:03I want to go see Estria.
00:48:05Yeah,
00:48:05there'll be plenty of time for that
00:48:06when 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
00:48:11for Edward's trial.
00:48:12We really don't have time for this.
00:48:19She's been cooped up for months.
00:48:22Must have been tough.
00:48:30Henley?
00:48:31Henley, look,
00:48:32I'm really sorry.
00:48:33We can celebrate here if you like.
00:48:36Henley,
00:48:36please,
00:48:37look,
00:48:38I'm sorry,
00:48:38can I come in?
00:48:45Damn it, Henley.
00:48:53Hey,
00:48:53have you seen this girl?
00:48:55Oh my God,
00:48:55Princess Ari,
00:48:56I'm...
00:48:57I'm...
00:48:57Please,
00:48:58please,
00:48:58she's missing
00:48:59and she's my sister,
00:49:00so...
00:49:00Oh yeah,
00:49:01she's just there
00:49:02doing some shots.
00:49:03What?
00:49:06What are you even doing here?
00:49:09Ari,
00:49:09please,
00:49:10enough
00:49:10with the grown-up boys.
00:49:11You're still in recovery
00:49:12and you're underage.
00:49:13I'm not in this country.
00:49:14We're going home.
00:49:15Ari,
00:49:16please.
00:49:17Just let me have one night.
00:49:20I never thought
00:49:21I'd get to see
00:49:21another 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,
00:49:28sis.
00:50:01Fun.
00:50:01Don't you get it?
00:50:02I'm a public figure now.
00:50:04I have more important things
00:50:04to worry about than fun.
00:50:06Fine.
00:50:07Go back to your prince
00:50:08and your palace
00:50:09and your fancy new life.
00:50:11I'm sorry that I wanted
00:50:12to spend time with my sister.
00:50:15I guess she's just
00:50:15too important for that now.
00:50:16I'm sorry about
00:50:19going after, far.
00:50:21I think she's just
00:50:22too important for you.
00:50:22I think it's maybe
00:50:23I don't know people
00:50:24because they're not
00:50:25good, but I can't
00:50:27anything.
00:50:27They're not
00:50:28good, I'm good.
00:50:29I don't know.
00:50:30You know what I'm
00:50:33really thinking about.
00:50:34I don't know.
00:50:34I don't know.
00:50:35I don't know.
00:50:36I don't know.
00:50:37I don't know.
00:50:37I don't know.
00:50:38I don't know.
00:50:39I don't know what I've
00:50:40thought of.
00:50:40I don't know.
00:50:41I don't know.
00:50:46not what it looks like. This creep grabbed me for like half a second before I threw him
00:50:53off. I'm surprised anyone had a chance to take a photo. Edward, speak to me. Even if
00:51:02that is true, this is on every front page the day before my trial begins. Well, Dean
00:51:09Marcus must be behind it. It's another smear campaign. It's working. This will lose us
00:51:16to country's support just when we need it the most.
00:51:39Court is now in session. Prosecution may call his first witness. Thank you, Your Honor.
00:51:47The prosecution calls Captain Harry Percy to the stand.
00:51:59Do you swear to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth? I do.
00:52:04Captain Percy, you are Prince Edward's bodyguard, are you not? I am. You go everywhere with
00:52:17him, don't you? I do. Did you go with him to visit Princess Demo on the night of the assault?
00:52:24I did. Captain Percy, did you witness Prince Edward physically attack Princess Demo that night?
00:52:34I did.
00:52:46I just don't understand where Percy would lie. Yeah, I know. It sucks. He was really hot.
00:52:55I'm really not a mood hen. I'm sorry.
00:52:58Mari, I don't know what you want me to say. You mean Percy clearly worship you guys.
00:53:02I guess that human trash bag Marcus probably got to him the same way he got to the judge.
00:53:09Huh. What?
00:53:11The bruises. We know Edward didn't give them to Demo.
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 Demo and forcing her to blame her injuries on Edward?
00:53:26Edward! Oh my god.
00:53:28Hen, I can kiss you right now.
00:53:31I need to go and speak to my fellow princess.
00:53:34It'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 boos.
00:53:50She's of course caught up in her own adult scandal, and this could be as well a dark day for the world couple.
00:53:56Dima.
00:54:04What 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 fiancé was behind all this?
00:54:52I just made him believe it was all his idea.
00:54:56Our 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?
00:55:10Bringing down the piercements.
00:55:14For generations, they've looked down their losses at little Athena.
00:55:19We've been invaded and attacked too many times to count.
00:55:23And 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.
00:55:38I didn't factor you in, of course, but clearly I needn't have worried about Edward's dollar store, Princess.
00:55:42Princess, you'll soon be forgotten.
00:55:46A side note in the downfall of the Estrian royal family.
00:55:51Oh, chop chop.
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.
00:56:00Ah, here they are.
00:56:06Princess Dima, did you know that this conversation with Princess Ari was recorded and live-streamed on other social media?
00:56:14What?
00:56:15Who's the naive one now?
00:56:18You devious little bitch.
00:56:21I learned from the best.
00:56:22If 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?
00:56:35You 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.
00:56:50The 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!
00:56:59Beneth!
00:57:00Stop right there!
00:57:03This 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.
00:57:15And I charge you, Prince Marcus and Princess Dima, with treason.
00:57:22Arrest them.
00:57:23Save my name!
00:57:25Save my name!
00:57:27Save my name!
00:57:31Save my name!
00:57:33Save my name!
00:57:34Save my name!
00:57:37You saved me again.
00:57:44Save my name!
00:57:45Save my name!
00:57:46Looks like Prince Charlie's not the only hero around here.
00:57:48Save my name!
00:57:49Save my name!
00:57:50Save my name!
00:57:51Save my name!
00:57:52Save my name!
00:57:53Save my name!
00:57:54Save my name!
00:57:55Come.
00:57:56You wanted to see us, Father?
00:57:57I owe you an apology, Edward.
00:57:58You're never capable of such violence.
00:57:59You've always been a man of peace.
00:58:00And, Larry, you share the same compassion and charisma as Edward's mother had in spades.
00:58:05You'll make a great queen.
00:58:06Thank you, Father.
00:58:07Of course, we do still have to work on the decorum.
00:58:08We have plenty of time for that, Pops.
00:58:09Actually, the public are thirsty for new blood and, well, I'm ready for a rest.
00:58:10So I've decided to abdicate the throne to you.
00:58:11You can't hide the throne.
00:58:12You can't hide the throne, you can't hide it.
00:58:13He's going to get caught
00:58:13in an all-affred and into a short craft.
00:58:14I'll do it.
00:58:15Exactly.
00:58:16And such violence, you've always been a man of peace.
00:58:17And, Larry, you share the same compassion and charisma as Edward's mother had in spades.
00:58:18You'll make a great queen.
00:58:22Thank you, Father.
00:58:24Of course we do still have to work on the decorum.
00:58:27How?
00:58:28We have plenty of time for that, Pops!
00:58:30Actually, the public are thirsty for new blood and, 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.
00:59:00Your Royal Highness.
00:59:02We're going to New York, Percy, and we need protection.
00:59:06Mum, I'd let you down.
00:59:08Forget about it. You were looking out for your family and I get that.
00:59:12So shave that stubble, soldier. We got a plane to catch.
00:59:17Yes, ma'am.
00:59:24Good morning. We're very happy to...
00:59:27Sorry. Um, we're very happy to welcome you all here today.
00:59:32As you know, my sister recently beat cancer.
00:59:38It 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.
00:59:57Uh, so, um, please welcome the woman of the hour, Henley Douglas.
01:00:05I now declare Henley's House open!
01:00:09Well, I can't believe you made yourself first patient of Henley's House.
01:00:18Oh, God.
01:00:20I can't go through this again.
01:00:22Quit your bellyaching, Mom.
01:00:24Not every bellyache is a tumor.
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 cursed.
01:00:37No, it's not cancer.
01:00:39Kidney stones.
01:00:41Liver disease.
01:00:42What?
01:00:42You're having a royal baby, Ari.
01:00:45Oh, my goodness.
01:00:46Oh, my goodness.
01:00:46Our lives are about to change forever.
01:01:04In more ways than you know.
01:01:05I love you.
01:01:15I love you, too.
01:01:16I love you, too.
01:01:16I love you, too.
01:01:24I love you, too.
01:01:28I love you.
01:01:30I love you.
01:01:34I love you, too.
