00:00:03Oh my god, Henley.
00:00:06Oh god.
00:00:08Oh 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.
00:00:32What 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.
00:00:45Our 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.
00:01:00Oh my god.
00:01:02What am I gonna do?
00:01:04I'm only on minimum wage.
00:01:07There 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.
00:01:17A deluxe mail order ride service?
00:01:38Hello.
00:01:40You got your best dress, Harry Douglas.
00:01:43We found you a bidder.
00:01:44Another time for the wraps and down.
00:01:45TREASUR
00:02:21Your Royal Highness, Princess Dima has arrived.
00:02:24Excellent. We can finally confirm our engagement.
00:02:27The 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.
00:02:34We'll find him before he starts any trouble.
00:02:36No need. I know exactly where he'll be.
00:02:49Dima!
00:02:50Edward!
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.
00:03:14If either of you step foot in this palace again,
00:03:19I will have you both executed for treason.
00:03:24Now get out.
00:03:27I guess there won't be a Royal Wedding after all.
00:03:41It took years to arrange your marriage to Princess Dima.
00:03:44And now you're throwing our new alliance with Lathena away?
00:03:49I wasn't the one fucking someone else on the throne.
00:03:51You watch your language, boy.
00:03:53She was having sex with cousin Marcus on our seat of power.
00:03:57The one he craves for himself.
00:04:00Surely you can't expect me to still marry her.
00:04:02Well, I'll travel to Lathena 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.
00:04:41You are to find a new bride worthy of this crown.
00:04:46Harry Douglas.
00:04:48Spread your arms, please.
00:04:49Um, we agreed that our first date wouldn't be physical, but...
00:04:56Is that really necessary?
00:04:58Your bag, please.
00:05:00You're not my date, are you?
00:05:03I shouldn't have signed up for this.
00:05:05No, I'm sorry.
00:05:06I think I'm just going to go.
00:05:07Mom?
00:05:07Your Highness.
00:05:14Prince Edward.
00:05:22His Royal Highness Prince Edward Pierceman of Australia.
00:05:26That's your service.
00:05:27Harry Douglas of Queens.
00:05:31Not a bad start.
00:05:33This is a joke, right?
00:05:34I mean, why would a prince need a male order bride?
00:05:37Have I read your profile?
00:05:38Well, you're smart, beautiful, talented.
00:05:44But you're hiding something.
00:05:45You don't want money, you need it.
00:05:48You don't know anything about me.
00:05:50Precisely.
00:05:52So you're going to change that, or should I just assume that you are a gold digger like all the
00:05:56rest?
00:06:00You have a great day, Your Highness.
00:06:09Back to the airport, sir?
00:06:13No.
00:06:16Follow her.
00:06:23How are you feeling today?
00:06:24Why do people keep treating me like I'm dying?
00:06:27We're just worried about you.
00:06:32What's wrong?
00:06:33I think I'm hallucinating.
00:06:36What?
00:06:37Isn't that Prince Edward?
00:06:39What the hell are you doing here?
00:06:41Ari, you're speaking to literal royalty.
00:06:44It's all right.
00:06:45We bumped into each other as I toured the hospital, and I was a little rude.
00:06:49I apologize, Miss Douglas.
00:06:54Could I have a word outside?
00:07:04You're doing this for your sister?
00:07:05Well done.
00:07:06Gold star for the Prince.
00:07:09If you marry me, I will pay for her whole treatment.
00:07:13Anything she needs.
00:07:15Wait, you're serious?
00:07:17Yes.
00:07:20But if you'll permit me, there is one last thing I must test.
00:07:41What now?
00:07:54I love you, sis.
00:08:04Australian tradition dictates that you mustn't see each other again until your wedding day.
00:08:08What, so he just kissed me and left?
00:08:09I'm to escort you to Australia as soon as you're done here.
00:08:11But I must gash you to keep the engagement a secret.
00:08:14Why?
00:08:15Every move a royal mech is in the spotlight.
00:08:18It's just one of the many things you're going to have to get used to, and fast.
00:08:23Your new life starts now.
00:08:37Ma'am, this is Prince Edward's younger brother, Prince Xavier.
00:08:40Oh, hi.
00:08:42Um, greetings, your royal highness.
00:09:02My god.
00:09:03Did nobody even teach you how to curtsy?
00:09:12God, I'm sorry.
00:09:14Although that really was the worst curtsy I think I've ever seen.
00:09:20So you're the famous Ari Douglas I've heard so much about.
00:09:24I'm Edward's younger, funnier, more handsome, more charismatic little brother.
00:09:30Sorry you ended up with the dud, but, um...
00:09:33Hey, we still have time to fall in love.
00:09:36Run away before the wedding.
00:09:39Come with me.
00:09:44Uh, this is our little fixer-upper.
00:09:48Your room's round about the 312th on the left.
00:09:53I imagine you want to settle in and rest, but...
00:09:59I'm already late for our first appointment.
00:10:24I'm already late for our first appointment.
00:10:40From rags to riches, let's make you a princess.
00:11:00Yes, queen.
00:11:02Or should I say, yes, future queen.
00:11:05I've never seen myself like this.
00:11:07Now strap those heels.
00:11:18How did Edward find a savage?
00:11:21Isn't it obvious?
00:11:23She's a whore.
00:11:24He must have fallen in love with her.
00:11:27Almost between her legs.
00:11:29She'll be gone as soon as he gets bored of fucking a present.
00:11:40Go away!
00:11:47Go away!
00:11:56So this is true?
00:11:59Who are you?
00:12:01Your predecessor.
00:12:07You have a very pretty face.
00:12:11If you want to keep it that way, leave while you still can.
00:12:15Is that a threat?
00:12:17No, no, it's a warning.
00:12:19Edward is not the man he makes out to be.
00:12:31And trust me, my darling, you weren't the first one to fall for his trap.
00:12:36Harry?
00:12:38Harry?
00:12:42Harry?
00:12:43Harry, you're not leaving, are you?
00:12:46Harry?
00:12:49Harry?
00:12:52Harry?
00:12:54Harry?
00:13:08Harry, I've been transferred to the best cancer hospital in Manhattan.
00:13:12My treatment's being paid for by some anonymous donor.
00:13:15That's great, hen.
00:13:16I feel like I can finally breathe again.
00:13:19Oh, gotta go.
00:13:20Dog's here.
00:13:21Love you.
00:13:23Love you.
00:13:27Harry?
00:13:28Harry?
00:13:30It's your big day.
00:13:34Okay.
00:13:41Let's get this over with.
00:14:03You look radiant.
00:14:07I'm sorry.
00:14:08It's not the royal wedding you might have expected.
00:14:11My father...
00:14:12I'm just doing this for Henley.
00:14:14Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to join this man and this woman in holy matrimony.
00:14:20Prince Edward, you're about.
00:14:23Harry, though it was circumstance that brought us together, it is love that will bind us.
00:14:32With this ring, I commit to you my heart, my spirit, and my soul.
00:14:40Let us shower our lives until they are well spent, and spend them well, together.
00:14:48Do you, Edward, take this woman to be your lawfully wedded wife?
00:14:52I do.
00:14:53I do.
00:14:54And do you, Ariana, take this man to be your lawfully wedded husband?
00:15:03I do.
00:15:05And I now pronounce you husband and wife.
00:15:09You may kiss the bride.
00:15:12Arrest that man.
00:15:15Arrest that man.
00:15:21What's the meaning of this?
00:15:23You know exactly what you did, you bastard.
00:15:26Explain yourself.
00:15:29Last night, the Prince Edward here decided to pay a little visit to my beloved fiancée.
00:15:35What fiancée?
00:15:37Princess Dima.
00:15:45I only went there to retrieve the royal wedding.
00:15:48And this is what he did to me when I refused to give it to him.
00:15:50That is a lie.
00:15:52Take him away.
00:15:54You don't believe them, do you, Ari?
00:15:58Ari?
00:15:59Ari?
00:16:01Ari?
00:16:03Ari!
00:16:11Comfortable, cousin?
00:16:13You scoundrel!
00:16:16It was you that put those brutus on Dima.
00:16:19What do you care?
00:16:21Besides, you've got your American Barbie princess now anyway.
00:16:25What happened to you?
00:16:27We used to be like brothers.
00:16:29If we were brothers, then there wouldn't be a problem.
00:16:31I'd already have the crown.
00:16:34That's what this is about.
00:16:37Discredit me in order to steal my birthright.
00:16:39It's just as much my birthright as it is yours.
00:16:42My father should have fought for what was rightfully his.
00:16:44He was the younger twin!
00:16:45By what?
00:16:46Twelve minutes, was it?
00:16:48Your father was only given the airship because he was the favourite son.
00:16:52And you are willing to destroy our family over such nonsense?
00:16:58I am.
00:17:01But it doesn't have to go that way, cousin.
00:17:04Simply relinquish your claim to the throne to me, and I'll drop the charges.
00:17:08They won't stand anyway.
00:17:10Oh, they will.
00:17:12Now, I have every High Court judge in my back pocket.
00:17:16If you even try and take this to trial, I will ruin you.
00:17:49I won't do this.
00:17:52You've reached the chicken pen, but it's all out of hens.
00:17:55Leave a message and I'll clock you back.
00:18:42That's going to take some getting used to.
00:19:03It's an honour 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.
00:19:15An annulment agreement?
00:19:16Well, 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.
00:19:32No. 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.
00:19:48This 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.
00:20:16You asked me to find a bride worthy of the crown. So I did.
00:20:20The girls are commoner.
00:20:23No!
00:20:23Father.
00:20:24She 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?
00:20:50No.
00:20:53My cousin Marcus is trying to smear my reputation.
00:20:56Why should I believe you?
00:20:59Why do you think you're here, Ari?
00:21:02I 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.
00:21:14And then I found you.
00:21:16We barely know each other.
00:21:18Then give me a chance.
00:21:21I saw her 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.
00:21:33Oh, Edward.
00:21:35Ari, I fell in love with your humanity.
00:21:39And now I'm asking that you trust in mine.
00:21:43I'm innocent.
00:21:46Edward, you're shaking.
00:22:05I never kissed the bride.
00:22:08It's still our wedding day for another five minutes.
00:22:31Wow.
00:22:32This hospital is amazing.
00:22:35I can't believe you did all of this for any of my family, Edward.
00:22:38I can't wait to tell them that we're married.
00:22:46Mom?
00:22:47Mom?
00:22:50What's wrong?
00:22:50Mom?
00:22:54I'm sorry.
00:22:56I'm listening to Copa.
00:23:08So you ran off to get hitched while your sister fights for her life?
00:23:13It wasn't like that.
00:23:15That big shiny ring suggests otherwise.
00:23:19Edward is paying for him these treatments.
00:23:21He's the reason that she's in this hospital.
00:23:24Why?
00:23:25What does he get out of it?
00:23:27Me.
00:23:29You sold yourself to him?
00:23:32Is that what you're telling me?
00:23:34Friendly, Mom.
00:23:36Friendly.
00:23:43This is Dr. Mortimer.
00:23:45My private physician.
00:23:47I recommend we perform a stem cell transplant right away.
00:23:51It's risky, but it could save Henley's life.
00:23:55Ari, your medical record shows you could be an ideal donor.
00:23:59Just show me where to sign, Doc.
00:24:00I don't even know this person.
00:24:02She can be a quack.
00:24:04If Edward trusts him, then so do I.
00:24:07We will get both of you prepped for surgery immediately.
00:24:24Mom?
00:24:25Well, sweetheart, here. Have some water.
00:24:31He hasn't left your side.
00:24:33I'm so sorry about before.
00:24:37I was just struggling so much without you here.
00:24:40Henley?
00:24:41She's still sleeping.
00:24:43But the surgery was a success.
00:24:47I can't believe what you did for your sister.
00:24:50Selling yourself to this man.
00:24:54What they're saying about him.
00:24:56In the papers.
00:24:58It's all lies, Mom.
00:25:00Someone's trying to get him.
00:25:03Doctor.
00:25:04Ari's awake.
00:25:09Ever!
00:25:15Ever!
00:25:18Ever!
00:25:20Ever!
00:25:21Ever!

00:25:45Ever!
00:25:46Ever!
00:25:49Look at Joseph, Papa!
00:25:59I'm not your pal.
00:26:04That wasn't very nice.
00:26:06Field trip's over.
00:26:08We need to get you and the princess to a safe house.
00:26:10Now.
00:26:33How are you feeling now?
00:26:36Who the hell were they, Edward?
00:26:38They must have been sent by Marcus.
00:26:40He wants the throne that badly that he'd try and kill his own cousin.
00:26:45He tried to push out your mind.
00:26:46I can't.
00:26:49I can't stop thinking about how close they came to losing you.
00:26:52And I nearly lost you.
00:26:55You would have sacrificed yourself to save me.
00:26:59Why?
00:27:00You know why?
00:27:04Say it, Laurie.
00:27:08Say it.
00:27:10Because I love you, Edward.
00:27:15And I can't let you go.
00:27:34I can't let you go.
00:27:43And I can't let you go.

00:33:25him darling he called off our wedding so that he could marry an American prostitute named
00:33:34Ari Douglas how dare they these people are not fit to wear the crown we'd make a better king and
00:33:42queen than my cousin Edward and his yank
00:33:53you've not only brought this family into disrepute Edward but the crown itself
00:34:00you really believe the accusations well they tally with your reckless decision to marry this commoner
00:34:05father I'll give you one last chance to end this farce sign the annulment and we'll deny everything to the
00:34:12press
00:34:16no

00:34:47you can't do that
00:34:49it goes against convention but these are unconventional times
00:34:53no you can't
00:34:54do that because I don't want it
00:34:57it's not about what you want
00:34:59we're at war with your cousin
00:35:01and maybe with Latina soon too
00:35:03we need a show of strength
00:35:05giving into Marcus's games
00:35:08that's a show of strength
00:35:09it wipes the slate clean
00:35:12Xavier will be the new face of the monarchy
00:35:15you'll marry a woman of stature
00:35:18and sire and heir
00:35:24are you blind?
00:35:28do you just ignore what's right in front of you?
00:35:30what are you talking about now?
00:35:32I won't marry
00:35:36I won't have an heir
00:35:38and I won't be king
00:35:40because I'm gay
00:35:43the monarchy is above sexuality
00:35:47Xavier
00:35:48it's your crown too tight around the cranium
00:35:51I'd rather renounce all my titles than continue living this lie
00:35:56what have I done to deserve these boys?
00:35:58you know that's a good question
00:36:00you have two incredible brave sons
00:36:03but you didn't do anything to deserve them
00:36:06I'm warning you father
00:36:08honestly it's okay I've got this
00:36:11you think I'm scared of you Maxwell?
00:36:14I'm not
00:36:15I'm just so disappointed
00:36:17you see I never met my dad
00:36:20and when we first met
00:36:21I thought I would finally feel
00:36:22what it's like to have a real father
00:36:25and no honestly I'm
00:36:28I'm
00:36:28I wish I'd never found out
00:36:32you say you're father to the nation
00:36:34you're not even a good father to your own sons
00:36:45thank you
00:36:56what's this?
00:36:58oh that's black pudding
00:37:00it's um

00:37:06no no it's fine
00:37:07I'll try it
00:37:11actually
00:37:11I wanted to apologize for yesterday
00:37:14about the stag thing
00:37:16after our argument with your dad
00:37:18I kind of
00:37:18I realized how different our upbringings were
00:37:21it wasn't fair to judge you for that
00:37:25I
00:37:26I appreciate that
00:37:27and um
00:37:29what you said to him too
00:37:42morning
00:37:45the king has arranged for princess Ari to make her first public appearance
00:37:49what?
00:37:50he said
00:37:51and I quote
00:37:53put that girl on TV
00:37:54she's got some fire in her belly
00:37:57he thinks we can beat Marcus
00:37:58by winning over the people
00:38:00well that is great news
00:38:02he did have one stipulation
00:38:04you're to return to the palace ma'am
00:38:06for lessons in etiquette
00:38:08and he'll be your personal tutor
00:38:22princess ariana
00:38:27forgive me
00:38:31my behavior
00:38:32has been unbecoming
00:38:35yeah I don't really know what that means
00:38:36but um
00:38:38apologies as I did
00:38:40estrians respect their kings
00:38:41but they love their queens
00:38:44so we have to work on your decorum
00:38:47thankfully you'll be learning from the best
00:38:50that's not a very decorum
00:38:51thing to say your majesty
00:38:52the word you're looking for is decorous
00:38:54and I'm not talking about myself
00:38:57I'm talking about your mother-in-law
00:39:05Christmas is a time of joy
00:39:07notice her posture
00:39:09her poise
00:39:11as though you have an iron rod
00:39:14of your brother
00:39:16this is your etiquette lesson
00:39:18not mine
00:39:19repeat after her
00:39:21my husband and I
00:39:23would like to wish you a very merry Christmas
00:39:28well you said all the words in the right order
00:39:32what was she like?
00:39:35a lot like you
00:39:37she had a very kind way
00:39:38with people
00:39:39her charity work was her life
00:39:42boys were devastated
00:39:44to lose her
00:39:46and you?
00:39:51it's never been the same
00:39:53without her
00:40:00she's an inspiration
00:40:01yes
00:40:03our next queen has a lot to live up to
00:40:10good evening
00:40:11tonight I'm joined by Prince Edward's new bride
00:40:14Princess Ariana
00:40:15welcome your royal highness
00:40:17good evening
00:40:19Esther was shocked to learn about your recent marriage
00:40:22could you tell us more about how you met Prince Edward?
00:40:24we met in my hometown of Queens
00:40:26Edward found that very um serendipitous
00:40:31yes
00:40:31Princess Dima alerted that you were working as a prostitute there
00:40:34no that is not true
00:40:35so you are calling your fellow princess a liar
00:40:38she was misinformed
00:40:40to be clear
00:40:41did Prince Edward ever pay you for your services?
00:40:45no not in that way
00:40:46so he has paid you?
00:40:47I'd rather not discuss
00:40:48ma'am, the public has a right to know who their new princess really is
00:40:53so I would ask you again
00:40:54did Prince Edward ever pay you for your services?
00:41:14all right
00:41:15yes he paid for me
00:41:17I was his mail order bride
00:41:18and maybe that's just as much as scandal
00:41:21but marrying Prince Edward
00:41:22is the best thing that I have ever done
00:41:28my sister was fighting cancer
00:41:30and I needed the money to save her
00:41:32and he gave me that
00:41:33but he gave me so much more
00:41:36I'm not talking about the crown
00:41:38or the castles
00:41:40I'm talking about his love
00:41:41and his kindness
00:41:43and his respect
00:41:46and yes
00:41:47I am calling Princess Dima a liar
00:41:50I don't know why she wants to ruin us
00:41:51maybe she's bitter
00:41:53because Edward didn't forgive her
00:41:55after she was caught cheating on him with Prince Marcus
00:41:57you can ask her about that
00:42:00but what I do know
00:42:02is Edward is a good man
00:42:04and yes this started out as a transaction for sure
00:42:07I needed the money to save my sister
00:42:09and he needed to be saved
00:42:11for marrying a woman that he didn't love
00:42:13but now my sister is getting better
00:42:17and Edward has a wife who couldn't love him more
00:42:33it's about time you started fighting back
00:42:36nice performance
00:42:38really appealing to the old heart strings
00:42:40it wasn't a performance
00:42:42it's always a performance princess
00:42:45only the people
00:42:46they don't want love stories
00:42:48they want dirt
00:42:50that's why I'll win
00:42:51cause I'm not afraid to get my hands dirty
00:42:54as we discovered in New York
00:42:56are you referring to the
00:42:58assassination attempt
00:43:00in fact I'm the only reason you're still breathing
00:43:04what?
00:43:06it was Athena who wanted you dead
00:43:08but I convinced King Eythen to
00:43:11hold off
00:43:13for now
00:43:15see he's willing to let you live
00:43:16so long as you
00:43:18give my airship to you
00:43:20clever boy
00:43:23make all the threats you want
00:43:25I will prove my innocence in court
00:43:30oh even if you are somehow able to convince my
00:43:32judge that Dima's the one lying
00:43:34you won't convince her father
00:43:36if you're found not guilty
00:43:39he'll simply declare war
00:43:42you just can't win
00:43:43your highness
00:43:44we're getting record engagements on our socials
00:43:47people are going crazy for their new princess
00:43:51maybe they do want love stories after all
00:44:03oh here's a good one
00:44:04starting a petition to rename
00:44:06princess Harry the queen of spades
00:44:09she just buried princess Dima

00:50:57this creep grabbed me for like half a second before I threw him off

00:51:04Edward
00:51:06speak to me
00:51:08even if that is true
00:51:11this is on every front page the day before my trial begins
00:51:15well Dean Marcus must be behind it
00:51:17it's another smear campaign
00:51:20it's working
00:51:22this will lose us to country support just when we need it the most
00:51:45court is now in session
00:51:47the prosecution may call its first witness
00:51:50thank you your honour
00:51:53the prosecution calls
00:51:55Captain Harry Percy
00:51:57to the stand
00:52:05do you swear to tell the truth?
00:52:07the whole truth and nothing but the truth?
00:52:10I do
00:52:14Captain Percy
00:52:16you are Prince Edward's bodyguard
00:52:18are you not?
00:52:20I am
00:52:21you go everywhere with him don't you?
00:52:24I do
00:52:25did you go with him to visit Princess Daemon
00:52:28on the night of your soul?
00:52:30I did
00:52:32Captain Percy
00:52:34did you witness Prince Edward
00:52:36physically attack Princess Daemon
00:52:39that night?
00:52:42I did
00:52:54I just don't understand why Percy would lie
00:52:57yeah I know it sucks
00:52:59he was really hot
00:53:01I'm really not in the mood hen
00:53:03I'm sorry
00:53:04I don't know what you want me to say
00:53:06you mean Percy clearly worship you guys
00:53:09I guess that human trash bag Marcus
00:53:11probably got to him the same way he got to the judge
00:53:14huh
00:53:16what?
00:53:17the bruises
00:53:18we know Edward didn't give them to Dima
00:53:20sure it was Marcus
00:53:21yeah
00:53:22but we always assumed they were working together
00:53:25right?
00:53:26but what if Marcus was manipulating Dima
00:53:29forcing her to blame her injuries on Edward?
00:53:31oh my god
00:53:33hen I could kiss you right now
00:53:36oh
00:53:37I need to go and speak to my fellow princess
00:53:40it's judgement day for Prince Edward
00:53:42and his bodyguard's damning testimony
00:53:45can prove the deciding factor in the judge's verdict
00:53:47and here she comes
00:53:49princess Aerie
00:53:52just listen to those booze
00:53:55she's of course caught up in her own adulty scandal
00:53:58and this could be as well a dark day for all people
00:54:06Dima
00:54:09what do you want?
00:54:11it's not too late to stop this
00:54:14why would I want to do that?
00:54:16well I believe it's Prince Marcus
00:54:17not too late to stop this
00:54:19why would I want to do that?
00:54:21well I believe it's Prince Marcus who's been hurting you
00:54:24and forced you to blame it on Edward
00:54:26we're facing another beating or worse
00:54:28but it's okay
00:54:29you don't have to be scared anymore
00:54:30I can make you safe
00:54:32oh

00:55:29we've been invaded and attacked too many times to count
00:55:34and yet my father sent me here to marry your loser Prince
00:55:40so I decided to use Marcus to divide the family
00:55:44bring them down from the inside
00:55:47I didn't factor you in of course but clearly I needn't have worried about Edward's dollar store Princess

00:58:21And, Arie, you share the same compassion and charisma as Edward's mother had in spades.
00:58:28You'll make a great queen.
00:58:31Thank you, Father.
00:58:33Of course, we do still have to work on the decorum.
00:58:35Ah, we have plenty of time for that, Pops.
00:58:40Actually, the public are thirsty for new blood and, well, I'm ready for a rest.
00:58:46So I've decided to abdicate the throne to you two, young upstarts.
00:58:50Yes. Good luck.
00:59:08Your Royal Highness.
00:59:09We're going to New York, Percy, and we need protection.
00:59:13I might let you down.
00:59:15Forget about it. You were looking out for your family, and I get that.
00:59:18All right. So shave that stubble, soldier. We got a plane to catch.
00:59:25Yes, ma'am.
00:59:31Good morning. We're very happy to...
00:59:35Sorry. Um, we're very happy to welcome you all here today.
00:59:39As you know, my sister recently beat cancer.
00:59:45It was a hard battle, and to pay for it, I became a princess.
00:59:50Yes. But that's not really an option for most people.
00:59:55So, that's why we've opened Henley's House, a place where cancer patients can get free support throughout their treatment.
01:00:04Ah, so, um, please welcome the woman of the hour, Henley Douglas.
01:00:12I now declare Henley's House open!
01:00:22Well, I can't believe you made yourself first patient of Henley's House.
01:00:26Oh, God. I can't go through this again.
01:00:29Quit your bellyaching, Mom. Not every bellyache is a tumor.
01:00:32Do you ever feel like you liked her better when she was in a coma?
01:00:37Well, something did come up on the test results, folks.
01:00:42It's cancer. We're cursed.
01:00:45No, it's not cancer.
01:00:46Kidney stones. Liver disease.
01:00:49What?
01:00:49You're having a royal baby, Ari.
01:00:51Oh, my goodness.
01:00:53Oh, my goodness.
01:01:07Our lives are about to change forever.
01:01:10In more ways than you know.
01:01:20I love you.
01:01:22I love you, too.
01:01:47I love you.
01:02:18I love you.
01:02:35I love you.
01:03:05I love you.
01:03:08I love you.
01:03:09Amen.
