00:00:00Oh my God, Henley.
00:00:07Oh my God.
00:00:12You'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?
00:00:28Let me go grab you some food.
00:00:30Okay?
00:00:34I'm afraid it's such a 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?
00:00:58Oh my God.
00:01:01What 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.
00:01:10Are 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.
00:01:17It's a luxe mail order ride service.
00:01:22Hello.
00:01:23You got your best dress, Harry Douglas.
00:01:24We found you a bidder.
00:01:25Hello.
00:01:26You got your best dress, Harry Douglas.
00:01:28We found you a bidder.
00:01:29Hello.
00:01:30You got your best dress, Harry Douglas.
00:01:31We found you a bidder.
00:01:32Hello.
00:01:33You got your best dress, Harry Douglas.
00:01:34And you got your best dress, Harry Douglas.
00:01:36If not, cabs a b evil bitch.
00:01:37You can climb a 2009 marriage.
00:01:38Holy crap.
00:01:39I'm kidding.
00:01:40You got your better out.
00:01:41Maybe you are even good?
00:01:42On your abysson...
00:01:43You can ride an adult for the place after the child operating or cabs.
00:01:44Now, I'll come with Santa.
00:01:45Use your best dress, Harry Douglas.
00:02:16Your 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.
00:02:33Marcus is here.
00:02:35We'll find him before he starts any trouble.
00:02:37No need. I know exactly where he'll be.
00:02:46Dima!
00:02:51Edward!
00:02:54I'm sorry, my love. I don't know what came of him.
00:02:57I do.
00:02:58She wanted a taste of the true heir to the throne.
00:03:03Your Majesty, please.
00:03:05No.
00:03:14If either of you step foot in this palace again,
00:03:19I will have you both executed for treason.
00:03:24Now get out.
00:03:26Guess there won't be a royal wedding after all.
00:03:42It took years to arrange your marriage to Princess Dima.
00:03:45And now you're throwing our new alliance with Lathina away?
00:03:50I 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.
00:04:04I'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.
00:04:37I'm sorry.
00:04:47Ari Douglas.
00:04:49Spread 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.
00:05:01You're not my date, are you?
00:05:04I 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, ma'am, your highness.
00:05:16Prince Edward.
00:05:24His Royal Highness Prince Edward Pierceman of Australia,
00:05:28that's your service.
00:05:29Ari Douglas of Queens.
00:05:33Not a bad start.
00:05:34This is a joke, right?
00:05:36I mean, why would a prince need a ma'am or a bride?
00:05:39Have I read your profile?
00:05:41You're smart, beautiful, talented.
00:05:45But you're hiding something.
00:05:47You don't want money, you need it.
00:05:50You don't know anything about me.
00:05:52Precisely.
00:05:54So you're going to change that,
00:05:55or should I just assume that you are a gold digger like all the rest?
00:06:01You have a great day, your highness.
00:06:06Back to the airport, sir?
00:06:15No.
00:06:17Follow her.
00:06:18How are you feeling, too?
00:06:27Why do people keep treating me like I'm dying?
00:06:29We were just worried about you.
00:06:34What's wrong?
00:06:36I think I'm hallucinating.
00:06:38What?
00:06:39Isn't that Prince Edward?
00:06:40What the hell are you doing here?
00:06:43Ari, you're speaking to literal royalty.
00:06:46It's all right.
00:06:48We bumped into each other as I toured the hospital,
00:06:50and I was a little rude.
00:06:52I apologize, Miss Douglas.
00:06:56Could I have a word outside?
00:06:57You're doing this for your sister?
00:07:08Well done.
00:07:09Gold star for the prince.
00:07:11If you marry me,
00:07:13I will pay for her whole treatment.
00:07:16Anything she needs.
00:07:18Wait, you're serious?
00:07:19Yes.
00:07:20But if you'll permit me,
00:07:25there is one last thing I must test.
00:07:44What now?
00:07:45I love you, sis.
00:08:07Australian tradition dictates
00:08:08that you mustn't see each other again
00:08:09until your wedding day.
00:08:11What?
00:08:11So you just kissed me and left?
00:08:12I'm to escort you to Australia
00:08:13as soon as you're done here.
00:08:14But I must cast you
00:08:15to keep the engagement a secret.
00:08:17Why?
00:08:18Every move a royal mech
00:08:19is in the spotlight.
00:08:21It's just one of the many things
00:08:22you're going to have to get used to.
00:08:23And fast.
00:08:25Your new life
00:08:26starts now.
00:08:40Ma'am?
00:08:40This is Prince Edward's younger brother,
00:08:42Prince Xavier.
00:08:43Oh, hi.
00:08:44Oh, hi.
00:08:44Um...
00:08:45Greetings,
00:08:47your royal highness.
00:09:05My God.
00:09:06Did nobody even teach you
00:09:07how to curtsy?
00:09:08God, I'm sorry.
00:09:16I'm sorry.
00:09:18Although that really was
00:09:20the worst curtsy
00:09:21I think I've ever seen.
00:09:24So you're the famous
00:09:25Harry Douglas
00:09:26I've heard so much about.
00:09:27I'm Edward's younger,
00:09:29funnier,
00:09:30more handsome,
00:09:31more charismatic
00:09:32little brother.
00:09:34Sorry you ended up
00:09:34with the dad
00:09:35but, um...
00:09:36Hey,
00:09:37we still have time
00:09:38to fall in love
00:09:39and run away
00:09:40before the wedding.
00:09:42Come with me.
00:09:48This is our
00:09:49little
00:09:49fixer-upper.
00:09:51Your room's
00:09:53round about
00:09:53the 312th
00:09:55on the left.
00:09:56I imagine
00:09:57you want
00:09:57to settle in
00:09:58and rest
00:09:58but...
00:10:03We're already
00:10:04late for our
00:10:04first appointment.
00:10:35From rags to riches, let's make you a princess.
00:11:04Yes, queen?
00:11:05Or should I say, yes, future queen?
00:11:09I've never seen myself like this.
00:11:11I'll start those heels.
00:11:22Why 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.
00:11:32She'll be gone as soon as he gets bored of fucking a present.
00:11:44Go away!
00:11:45So this is true.
00:11:56Who are you?
00:11:58Your predecessor.
00:12:04You have a very pretty face.
00:12:06If 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.
00:12:18And trust me, my darling, you weren't the first one to fall for his trap.
00:12:34Harry?
00:12:36Harry, you're not leaving, are you?
00:12:41Harry?
00:12:41Harry?
00:12:42Harry?
00:12:44Harry?
00:12:47Harry?
00:12:48Harry?
00:12:48I've been transferred to the best cancer hospital in Manhattan.
00:13:08My treatment's being paid for by some anonymous donor.
00:13:11That'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?
00:13:26Harry?
00:13:27It's a big day.
00:13:31Okay.
00:13:32Let's get this over with.
00:13:39You look radiant.
00:14:04I'm sorry.
00:14:06It's not the royal wedding you might have expected.
00:14:09My father's...
00:14:10I'm just doing this for Henley.
00:14:12Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to join this man and this woman in holy matrimony.
00:14:18Prince Edward, you're about.
00:14:21Harry, though it was circumstance that brought us together, it is love that will bind us.
00:14:27With this ring, I commit to you my heart, my spirit, and my soul.
00:14:38Let her shower our lives until they are well spent and spend them well together.
00:14:45Do you, Edward, take this woman to be your lawfully wedded wife?
00:14:50I do.
00:14:50And do you, Ariana, take this man to be your lawfully wedded husband?
00:15:01I do.
00:15:03And I now pronounce you husband and wife.
00:15:07You may kiss the bride.
00:15:10Arrest that man!
00:15:14Arrest that man!
00:15:16What's the meaning of this?
00:15:22You know exactly what you did, you bastard.
00:15:25Explain yourself.
00:15:27Last night, Prince Edward here decided to pay a little visit to my beloved fiancé.
00:15:34What fiancé?
00:15:35Princess Dima.
00:15:36I only went there to retrieve the royal wedding.
00:15:46And this is what he did to me when I refused to give it to him.
00:15:49That is a lie.
00:15:50Take him away.
00:15:52You don't believe them, do you, Ari?
00:15:56Ari?
00:15:57Ari?
00:16:00Ari!
00:16:02Ari!
00:16:02Ari!
00:16:06It 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 were brothers, then there wouldn't be a problem.
00:16:30I'd already have the crown.
00:16:33That's what this is about.
00:16:34You discredited 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 was rightfully his.
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.
00:16:51And you are willing to destroy our family over such nonsense?
00:16:57I am.
00:16:58But it doesn't have to go that way, cousin.
00:17:03Simply relinquish your claim to the throne to me and 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.
00:17:14If you even try and take this to trial, I will ruin you.
00:17:20I have to run.
00:17:21I have to run.
00:17:22I will let you.
00:17:53But it's all out of hands. Leave a message and I'll clock you back.
00:18:23That's going to take some getting used to.
00:19:13An 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.
00:19:25I can't.
00:19:28You can and you will.
00:19:32No. Edward promised me that he'd pay for my sister's cancer tuition and I can't let her down.
00:19:36Well, if it's just the money you're here for, have it.
00:19:48This feels wrong.
00:19:50Either you sign or we force you to.
00:19:52Trust me, we still keep some nasty traditions in this palace.
00:19:58All right.
00:20:10You asked me to find a bride worthy of the crown.
00:20:20So I did.
00:20:21The girls are commoner.
00:20:23No, father.
00:20:25She is my wife.
00:20:26I 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?
00:20:51No.
00:20:51My 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.
00:21:10When she cheated on me, I made a vow to only marry the person that I wanted.
00:21:15And 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.
00:21:34Edward.
00:21:36Ari, I fell in love with your humanity.
00:21:40And now I'm asking that you trust in mine.
00:21:44I'm innocent.
00:21:47Edward, you're shaking.
00:21:51I never kissed the bride.
00:22:09It's still our wedding day for another five minutes.
00:22:12I can't believe you did all of this for me and my family, Edward.
00:22:38I can't wait to tell them that we're married.
00:22:47Mom?
00:22:48Mom?
00:22:51What's wrong?
00:22:56I...
00:22:57I'm innocent of Coba.
00:22:58So you ran off to get hitched while your sister fights for her life?
00:23:14It wasn't like that.
00:23:17That big shiny ring suggests otherwise.
00:23:21Edward is paying for him these treatments.
00:23:23He's the reason that she's in this hospital.
00:23:25Why?
00:23:26What does he get out of it?
00:23:29Me?
00:23:31You sold yourself to him?
00:23:34Is that what you're telling me?
00:23:36Friendly, Mom.
00:23:38Friendly.
00:23:39This 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 you could be an ideal donor.
00:24:01Just show me where to sign, Doc.
00:24:02I don't even know this person.
00:24:04She can 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.
00:24:26Mom?
00:24:27Mom.
00:24:28Sweetheart, here.
00:24:29Have some water.
00:24:33He hasn't left your side.
00:24:36I'm so sorry about before.
00:24:39I was just struggling so much without you here.
00:24:43Henley.
00:24:44She's still sleeping.
00:24:46But the surgery was a success.
00:24:49I can't believe what you did for your sister.
00:24:52Selling yourself to this man.
00:24:56What they're saying about him in the papers.
00:25:00It's all lies, Mom.
00:25:02Mom, someone's trying to get him.
00:25:03Doctor.
00:25:05Doctor.
00:25:06Ari's awake.
00:25:08I'm gonna get it.
00:25:12Ever!
00:25:18Ever!
00:25:25Ever!
00:25:29Ever!
00:25:38Ever!
00:25:42Ever!
00:25:44Ever!
00:25:48Ever!
00:25:51Ever!
00:25:53Ever!
00:26:03I'm not you, pal.
00:26:05Yeah!
00:26:07That wasn't very nice.
00:26:09Field trip's over.
00:26:11We need to get you and the princess to a safe house.
00:26:13Now.
00:26:35How are you feeling now?
00:26:39Who the hell were they, Edward?
00:26:42They must have been sent by Marcus.
00:26:44He wants the throne that badly that he'd try and kill his own cousin?
00:26:48Try to push out your mind.
00:26:50I can't.
00:26:53I can't stop thinking about how close they came to losing you.
00:26:56And I nearly lost you.
00:26:58You would have sacrificed yourself to save me.
00:27:00Why?
00:27:04You know why.
00:27:08Say it, Laurie.
00:27:11Say it.
00:27:13Because I love you, Edward.
00:27:19And I can't let you go.
00:27:20I can't let you go.
00:27:50I can't let you go.
00:28:14Hello.
00:28:16I'm sorry. Did I wake you?
00:28:18Oh, wow.
00:28:20Again?
00:28:21Yeah, well, who's gonna 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, but we need to get you back to Australia right away.
00:28:38But I wanted to see Henley first.
00:28:41Yes, 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 Oakwell when I was a boy.
00:29:07It was my mother's favorite place.
00:29:09No wonder.
00:29:10It's beautiful.
00:29:12Can I help you, sir?
00:29:13I'm here to escort Prince Edward and Princess Arya on their honeymoon.
00:29:15Prince Edward is welcome.
00:29:16The lady is not.
00:29:17Excuse me?
00:29:19King's orders, Your Highness.
00:29:21He doesn't recognize her as a member of the royal family.
00:29:23How dare you question my wife to dismiss him?
00:29:24I'll have you discharged.
00:29:25I'll deal with this.
00:29:26Let us through, lad.
00:29:27That's an order.
00:29:28Lady, it's not.
00:29:29Excuse me?
00:29:31King's orders, Your Highness.
00:29:33He doesn't recognise her as a member of the royal family.
00:29:40How dare you question my wife to dismiss him?
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.
00:30:01Do you want their deaths on your conscience?
00:30:08Oh, easy.
00:30:11I'm sorry, my love.
00:30:13This 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.
00:30:27Well, you've been about as useful as a screen door on a submarine, kid.
00:30:38You know, I like this better than the palace.
00:30:59It feels more...
00:31:01I 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.
00:31:14Every Christmas, we used to have a plane for the adults.
00:31:19Aw, we, Peter Pan.
00:31:21One 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.
00:31:44It suits you.
00:31:47Well, maybe our kids will wear these one day.
00:31:50Good practice for the real thing.
00:31:55Ah.
00:31:56Another family tradition.
00:31:59My first kill, in fact.
00:32:02Wait.
00:32:04You killed the stag?
00:32:07Edward, that's horrible.
00:32:10Edward, that's horrible.
00:32:13Well, no.
00:32:14It's heritage.
00:32:16There 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?
00:32:28I 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 gang.
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, it'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.
00:33:25The 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 Ari 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.
00:33:53A 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.
00:34:14I'll give you one last chance to end this farce.
00:34:18Sign the annulment and we'll deny everything to the press.
00:34:20No.
00:34:26Ari is my wife.
00:34:28Now and forever.
00:34:31So 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.
00:34:48And 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.
00:35:09And maybe with Lathina soon too.
00:35:12We 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?
00:35:36Or 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.
00:35:49Because I'm gay.
00:35:50The 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.
00:36:03What 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.
00:36:15I'm warning you, father.
00:36:16No, honestly.
00:36:18It's okay.
00:36:18I've got this.
00:36:20You think I'm scared of you, Maxwell?
00:36:22Well, I'm not.
00:36:24I'm just so disappointed.
00:36:26You see, I never met my dad.
00:36:29And 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...
00:36:36I 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.
00:36:52What's this?
00:37:07Oh, that's black pudding.
00:37:10It's, um, made from blood.
00:37:13You don't have to eat it.
00:37:15No, no, no.
00:37:16It's fine.
00:37:17I'll try it.
00:37:18Actually, 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.
00:37:37And, um, what you said to him, too.
00:37:44Okay.
00:37:48Morning.
00:37:55The king has arranged for Princess Ari to make her first public appearance.
00:37:59What?
00:38:00He said, and I quote, um,
00:38:02put that girl on TV.
00:38:04She'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.
00:38:32Princess Arianna.
00:38:37Forgive me.
00:38:38My behavior has been unbecoming.
00:38:45Yeah, I don't really know what that means, but, um, apologies accepted.
00:38:50Estrians respect their kings, but they love their queens.
00:38:53So, we have to work on your decorum.
00:38:56Thankfully, you'll be learning from the best.
00:38:59That's not a very decorum-y thing to say, your majesty.
00:39:03The word you're looking for is decorous.
00:39:05And I'm not talking about myself.
00:39:07I'm talking about your mother-in-law.
00:39:08Christmas is a time of joy.
00:39:18Notice her posture.
00:39:19And of her.
00:39:20Her poise.
00:39:21You street her.
00:39:22As though you have an iron rod.
00:39:24Across the street.
00:39:26To 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 a very merry Christmas.
00:39:37Well, you said all the words in with the right heart.
00:39:42What was she like?
00:39:45A lot like you.
00:39:47She had a very kind way with people.
00:39:50Her charity work was her life.
00:39:52Boys were devastated to lose her.
00:39:56And you?
00:39:57It's never been the same without her.
00:40:10She's an inspiration?
00:40:11Yes.
00:40:13Our next queen has a lot to live up to.
00:40:20Good evening.
00:40:21Tonight I'm joined by Prince Edward's new bride, Princess Ariana.
00:40:26Welcome, 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.
00:40:41Princess Dima alerted that you were working as a prostitute there.
00:40:45No, 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 pay you for your 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.
00:41:04So I would ask you again.
00:41:06Did Prince Edward ever pay you for your services?
00:41:09All 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 as a scandal, but marrying Prince Edward is the best thing that I have ever done.
00:41:35My 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.
00:41:55And 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 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, and he needed to be saved from marrying a woman that he didn't love.
00:42:25But now my sister is getting better.
00:42:28And 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.
00:42:54It'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?
00:43:17It 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.
00:43:59People are going crazy for their new princess.
00:44:03Maybe 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.
00:44:24Princess 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.
00:44:50Father'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.
00:45:05In fact, it gave me an idea.
00:45:08Mom, we're ready for you.
00:45:13Ready for what?
00:45:19Whenever you're ready, Your Highness.
00:45:23My 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.
00:45:31But, 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.
00:45:46But it still feels the same.
00:45:48It feels like family.
00:45:49Because you have opened your hearts to me and made me feel at home here.
00:45:56So, from the bottom of my heart, thank you.
00:46:00And Merry Christmas from the palace.
00:46:02You 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.
00:46:22Henry!
00:46:23You 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, I can never repay you.
00:46:39But you're getting better as payment enough.
00:46:41Oh, cool.
00:46:44I guess you won't be needing your present, then.
00:46:46To first.
00:46:47I wanted to get you something to say thank you.
00:46:50It's not quite Crown Jewels level, but...
00:46:52Thank 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.
00:47:18Ari, I know you did all this for me.
00:47:20But are you really happy here?
00:47:25I don't know.
00:47:28I guess my life is just really different now.
00:47:42Edward, have you heard from your lawyers?
00:47:45They've hired a PI to look into Marcus's bribery of state officials.
00:47:48But he's covered his tracks.
00:47:55I'm not sure we can beat him.
00:47:57Ari, there's a New Year's street party tonight.
00:47:59We have to go.
00:48:00You're not well enough.
00:48:01I've been here a whole week, and you haven't let me out once.
00:48:04I 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.
00:48:14She's been cooped up for months.
00:48:22Must have been tough.
00:48:30Henley?
00:48:32Henley, look, I'm really sorry.
00:48:34We can celebrate here if you like.
00:48:36Henley, please, look, I'm sorry.
00:48:38Can I come in?
00:48:39Tell me, Henley.
00:48:53Hey, have you seen this girl?
00:48:55Oh, my God, Princess Ari.
00:48:56I'm...
00:48:57Please, please, she's missing.
00:48:59And she's my sister, so...
00:49:01Oh, yeah, she's just there doing some shots.
00:49:03What?
00:49:03What are you even doing here?
00:49:09Ari, please, enough with the grown-up boys.
00:49:11You're still in recovery, and you're underage.
00:49:13I'm not in this country.
00:49:15We'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 pulled the cats off.
00:49:26Fine.
00:49:27But no more drinking.
00:49:28Love you, sis.
00:49:33Five, four, three, two, one.
00:49:44Happy New Year!
00:49:58Come on.
00:49:59I'm just having some fun.
00:50:02Don't you get it?
00:50:02I'm a public figure now.
00:50:04I have more important things to worry about than fun.
00:50:06Fine.
00:50:07Go 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.
00:50:32It's not what it looks like.
00:50:50This creep 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.
00:51:00Even 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.
00:51:11It's another smear campaign.
00:51:14It's working.
00:51:16This 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.
00:51:43Thank 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?
00:52:03I do.
00:52:08Captain Percy, you are Prince Edward's bodyguard, are you not?
00:52:14I am.
00:52:16You go everywhere with him, don't you?
00:52:18I do.
00:52:20Did you go with him to visit Princess Daemon on the night of your soul?
00:52:24I did.
00:52:25Captain Percy, did you witness Prince Edward physically attack Princess Daemon that night?
00:52:36I did.
00:52:37I just don't understand why Percy would lie.
00:52:51Yeah, I know.
00:52:52It sucks.
00:52:54He was really hot.
00:52:55I'm really not a mood hen.
00:52:58I'm sorry.
00:52:59Mari, I...
00:53:00Do you know what you want me to say?
00:53:01You mean Percy clearly worship you guys?
00:53:03I guess that human trash bag, 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 Dima.
00:53:15Sure, it was Marcus.
00:53:16Yeah, but we always assumed they were working together, right?
00:53:21But what if Marcus was manipulating Dima?
00:53:24Forcing her to blame her injuries on Edward?
00:53:26Oh my God.
00:53:28Hen, I could kiss you right now.
00:53:30Oh, I 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 boos.
00:53:50She's of course caught up in her own adulty scandal, and this could be as well a dark day for the world couple.
00:53:57Not my school.
00:54:01Dima.
00:54:04What do you want?
00:54:07It'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.
00:54:23Oh, Arie.
00:54:41It's the best joke I've ever heard.
00:54:42You poor naive girl.
00:54:49Did you really think my brain-dead fiancé was behind all this?
00:54:53I 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.
00:55:06And what is it really about?
00:55:13Bringing down the piercements.
00:55:15For generations, they've looked down their noses at little Athena.
00:55:20We'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.
00:55:44You'll soon be forgotten.
00:55:46A side note in the downfall of the Estrian royal family.
00:55:49Oh, chop chop, time to hear your husband's guilty verdict.
00:55:56You won't get away with this.
00:55:57Oh, darling, I already have.
00:56:01Oh, here they are.
00:56:07Princess 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?
00:56:17Oh, 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?
00:56:35You all right?
00:56:36Yes, where's Edward?
00:56:38The judge just found him guilty.
00:56:39Wait!
00:56:43I 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.
00:56:58How dare you!
00:57:00Bailiff!
00:57:01Stop 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!
00:57:25Save me!
00:57:25Save me!
00:57:27Save me!
00:57:32Save me!
00:57:34Save me!
00:57:36You saved me again.
00:57:44Looks like Prince Charming's not the only hero around here.
00:57:58Come.
00:58:02You wanted to see us, Father?
00:58:06I owe you an apology, Edward.
00:58:08You're never capable of such violence.
00:58:10You've always been a man of peace.
00:58:12And, Larry, you share the same compassion and charisma as Edward's mother had in spades.
00:58:19You'll make a great queen.
00:58:22Thank you, Father.
00:58:24Of course, we do still have to work on the decorum.
00:58:26Ah, we 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.
00:58:37So I've decided to abdicate the throne to you two, young upstarts.
00:58:42Good luck.
00:58:43Good luck.
00:58:44Hi there, at Portman.
00:58:45Tahap in Sp schema
00:58:46Your royal highness—
00:59:02We're going to New York, Percy. And we need protection.
00:59:05I might let you down.
00:59:08about it. You were looking out for your family and I
00:59:10get that. So shave
00:59:12that stubble, soldier. We got
00:59:14a plane to catch.
00:59:17Yes, ma'am.
00:59:24Good morning. We're very happy to...
00:59:26Sorry.
00:59:29We're very happy
00:59:30to welcome you all here today.
00:59:32As you know, my sister recently
00:59:34beat cancer.
00:59:38It was a hard battle, and
00:59:40to pay for it, I became a princess.
00:59:43But that's not
00:59:44really an option for most people.
00:59:47So,
00:59:48that's why we've opened Henley's
00:59:50House, a place where cancer
00:59:52patients can get free support throughout their
00:59:54treatment.
00:59:58So,
00:59:59please welcome
01:00:01the woman of the hour, Henley Douglas.
01:00:05I now declare
01:00:06Henley's House
01:00:08open!
01:00:14Well, I can't believe you made yourself
01:00:16first patient of Henley's House.
01:00:19Oh, God.
01:00:20I can't go through this again.
01:00:22Quit your bellyaching, Mom.
01:00:24Not every bellyache is a tumor.
01:00:26Do you ever feel like you liked her better when she was in a coma?
01:00:31Well,
01:00:32something did come up on the test results, folks.
01:00:34It'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.
01:00:46Alisa.
01:00:56My goodness.
01:00:57Don't forget, mention tonight.
01:00:57Yes.
01:00:58Our 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
01:01:35I love you too
01:02:05I love you too
01:02:35I love you too
01:03:05I love you too
