00:00:06If snowflakes were wishes, then all your kisses make my dreams come true
00:00:12Presents filed high under the tree, a very special one just for you
00:00:19Holidays come and holidays go, but one thing I know is true
00:00:25Your sweet kisses is all I need, my Christmas wishes you
00:00:31Your sweet kisses is all I need, my Christmas wishes you
00:00:38May I help you?
00:00:40Your Christmas decorations, Mom.
00:00:42Oh, I think you have the wrong apartment. I ordered Chinese food.
00:00:46Really? At 9am?
00:00:49Yeah, don't you eat Chinese food with your pancakes?
00:00:52What type of pancakes?
00:00:55Blueberry? Chocolate chip? Banana?
00:00:58No, no, no. None of that nonsense. Just original homemade buttermilk pancakes.
00:01:05I think I'm in love with you.
00:01:07Well, you might as well just come in.
00:01:19Emily Taylor and pancakes. What else is there? Except maybe bacon?
00:01:25You ate all the bacon. When?
00:01:27Yesterday. Three BLTs?
00:01:29Oh, yeah. Those were great.
00:01:31Oh, we have to toast to our first Christmas together.
00:01:36The first of many.
00:01:43For you.
00:01:44What is that? A kidney?
00:01:47It's a heart.
00:01:48Oh, you're giving me your heart.
00:01:50And the kidney, if I have to.
00:01:52No, I'm good for now.
00:01:55Oh, how come I don't have a boyfriend that comes over to make me breakfast?
00:01:58He came over so I would make him breakfast.
00:02:00Morning, Tony.
00:02:01I'm late.
00:02:03You're late every day, but this time I'm late, lady.
00:02:07Oh, wait. Tell him I'll be at the shop soon, okay?
00:02:08Okay.
00:02:09This is so nice.
00:02:12I can just sit here and sit here indefinitely watching TV and eating.
00:02:16You can start that, but first, can you try on a jacket for me?
00:02:19Not again.
00:02:21It'll take seconds.
00:02:23Is it a woman's jacket?
00:02:25Maybe.
00:02:26Oh, then that would be a no.
00:02:28Oh, come on. It's unisex.
00:02:33Is this one of your creations?
00:02:36Mm-hmm.
00:02:38I love that you can make something out of nothing.
00:02:40Such an amazing clothes designer.
00:02:44Don't be too impressed. I haven't actually sold anything yet.
00:02:46Yes, you will. Your designs are beautiful.
00:02:51It's going to be a great Christmas.
00:02:52Yeah, it's your first Christmas with my family.
00:02:55I mean, if that doesn't send you running, I don't know what will.
00:02:57Do I look like I'm running?
00:02:58Not yet.
00:02:59But it's only the 18th.
00:03:03Oh, I hope.
00:03:06Unisex.
00:03:08Okay, I may have lied.
00:03:12Hurry on.
00:03:13I'm done.
00:03:23Okay, let's see what you got here.
00:03:24I'm thinking.
00:03:25I want the sleeves gathered, but not too much.
00:03:27Bring up the hem an inch and a half, take in the waist, and add one more button on the
00:03:32back.
00:03:32So what, are you a stylist now?
00:03:34On second thought, bring up the...
00:03:35Tony.
00:03:37Sell yours.
00:03:38Come here.
00:03:40Hey, Dad.
00:03:42Hey, Dad.
00:03:42Hey, baby.
00:03:44Hey, Leo.
00:03:47How's the big job search coming along, Mr. MBA?
00:03:49Ah.
00:03:50Yeah, he just graduated.
00:03:51Give him a break.
00:03:52When the time is right, I'm sure the right job will come along.
00:03:55I'm not too worried, Mr. Taylor.
00:03:56You can drop the Mr. Taylor stuff.
00:03:59I'm going to date my daughter, what, about a year now?
00:04:01Almost, yeah.
00:04:02You know how many of your old boyfriends I approve of?
00:04:05Maybe 2%.
00:04:06I mean, not that there have been that many.
00:04:08Well, I am honored to make the cut.
00:04:11Hey, you're coming home for Christmas, right?
00:04:12Wouldn't miss it.
00:04:13And we go all out, don't we, Emily?
00:04:16Yeah, we actually should go out to eat, because, Dad, you're cooking.
00:04:19What's wrong with my cooking?
00:04:21Uh, sorry.
00:04:22I have to take this.
00:04:25You know, I kind of like him.
00:04:27He's got to get a job, but...
00:04:28He's working on it.
00:04:29I told you, I have plans this Christmas.
00:04:33Well, I know.
00:04:38All right.
00:04:39I'll be there.
00:04:43Okay, okay, okay.
00:04:46What exactly did he say?
00:04:48That he needed to tell me something.
00:04:50What, in a public place?
00:04:52People break up with people in public places.
00:04:55Where?
00:04:56Chez Louis.
00:04:57Ah, that's good.
00:04:59People propose a Chez Louis.
00:05:01I know three people that got engaged there.
00:05:04Okay, I think we're getting ahead of ourselves.
00:05:06Are we?
00:05:07Oh, okay.
00:05:08You know what?
00:05:08If he breaks up with me, then you can hold the Kleenex.
00:05:10And if he proposes, then he can be my bridesmaid.
00:05:14You're not nervous?
00:05:16No.
00:05:17What would I be nervous?
00:05:18It's Leo.
00:05:19I'm not nervous for you.
00:05:20Should I be nervous?
00:05:22Oh, I don't think it's really good.
00:05:31Hey.
00:05:32Hey.
00:05:34Thanks for coming.
00:05:36Of course.
00:05:38Oh, this is so formal.
00:05:41It's kind of unlike you.
00:05:44Emily, I'm...
00:05:48I'm not quite sure how to say this.
00:05:50Okay, now you're making me nervous.
00:05:52No, it's been a change of plans.
00:05:53I can't stay here for Christmas.
00:05:55Is everything okay?
00:05:56Yes.
00:05:57And no.
00:05:59It's kind of a family thing.
00:06:01Oh, I understand.
00:06:03No, you don't.
00:06:05Um...
00:06:07I should have told you this as soon as we met.
00:06:08But we got on so well.
00:06:12And you like me for me, and we fell in love with each other.
00:06:16And then time started flying by, and it kept getting harder and harder to tell you.
00:06:20Oh, you're already married.
00:06:21What?
00:06:22Are you married?
00:06:24No, no.
00:06:25I'm a prince.
00:06:28Wait, what?
00:06:32I'm...
00:06:35Prince Leopold of Cordelia.
00:06:39I'm sorry.
00:06:41Wait, what's...
00:06:42What's...
00:06:43What's Cordelia?
00:06:44It's a small sovereign state near the south of France.
00:06:47So you're not Leo James?
00:06:50No, no, no.
00:06:51I am.
00:06:51Just with a few more names.
00:06:54It's Leopold, James, William, Henry, Quincy, Archibald, Devlin.
00:06:59The fourth.
00:07:01So what was this?
00:07:02I mean, us?
00:07:03Is this just this...
00:07:04It was pretend?
00:07:05No, no, no.
00:07:05It's quite the opposite.
00:07:07I feel that my entire life before you was pretend.
00:07:11It's like I don't even know you.
00:07:13I'm still the same person.
00:07:14No, no, no, you're not.
00:07:15Leo, the Leo I know, wears jeans and watches reruns and eats pancakes.
00:07:20I eat pancakes in Cordelia.
00:07:22Look, I am so sorry.
00:07:25You don't know how much I want to tell you, but I had a ridiculous promise with my mother.
00:07:31Look, the only way she would let me study abroad with no bodyguards or handlers was if I kept my
00:07:36identity a secret.
00:07:38And I met you and everything changed.
00:07:45Can you ever forgive me?
00:07:48Maybe one of you.
00:07:49I haven't met the other one.
00:07:50Well, come home with me for Christmas, and you'll see.
00:07:54I promise that Leo James and Prince Leopold are the same person.
00:07:59Please.
00:08:01And you promise you're not married.
00:08:05I swear.
00:08:08On the royal crest.
00:08:11On the royal crest.
00:08:13On the royal crest.
00:08:19On the royal crest.
00:08:35Queen Isidora, breakfast is served.
00:08:43Your toast and marmalade, ma'am.
00:08:46I mean, your majesty.
00:08:50What flavor is the marmalade?
00:08:52Mandarin, ma'am.
00:08:53I prefer quince.
00:08:55And one percent, not two percent milk.
00:08:57Yes, ma'am.
00:09:00Your tea, your majesty.
00:09:04You are pouring from the wrong side.
00:09:06You might ease up on them.
00:09:08Will and Olivia are new.
00:09:09They'll get it right.
00:09:11Well, alert me when they do, and we'll commemorate with an oil painting.
00:09:18What happened to the previous footman?
00:09:20The same thing that happened to the previous three.
00:09:22You.
00:09:25I suppose I'm a little unedged lately.
00:09:28I hadn't noticed.
00:09:31I just want everything to go well with Leopold.
00:09:35I'm sure it will.
00:09:36I feel that I don't know him anymore, and he's bringing home a girl.
00:09:40An American?
00:09:41Yes.
00:09:42I hear some of them can be quite pleasant.
00:09:46Well, I certainly hope it's nothing serious.
00:09:51The tea is deppid.
00:09:57All this time you've been dating him, and he's secretly being a prince.
00:10:00Oh, I can't believe it.
00:10:03But my boyfriend's withholding information is that they're unemployed, and I'm paying for dinner.
00:10:07I wish your mom was here.
00:10:09I know, me too.
00:10:10I never spend a Christmas apart.
00:10:11I can't stand the thought of you being alone.
00:10:13Hey, he's got me.
00:10:14Yeah, look, you said, alone.
00:10:24Oh, I don't know whether you shake hands or bow.
00:10:28Oh, I'm coming.
00:10:30Oh, Leo, you don't mind, do you?
00:10:32For the shop wall.
00:10:33Anything for the shop wall.
00:10:37It's embarrassing.
00:10:39Oh, this is going right next to Sylvester Stallone's brother.
00:10:43Wow, that means a lot.
00:10:46Now you have a good time.
00:10:50What's the matter?
00:10:52I don't know.
00:10:52I mean, what if she doesn't like me?
00:10:53How do I know she's going to like me?
00:10:55She doesn't like you.
00:10:56You just be yourself.
00:10:58Be proud of who you are, because I am.
00:11:02You're my princess.
00:11:04I love you.
00:11:05I love you.
00:11:07Have a great time.
00:11:08Bye.
00:11:09Leo.
00:11:10Merry Christmas.
00:11:11Merry Christmas.
00:11:12Merry Christmas to you.
00:11:13I love you, baby.
00:11:15Merry Christmas.
00:11:16Bye.
00:11:17Bye.
00:11:19Come on.
00:11:20Come on.
00:11:53Welcome to my humble home.
00:11:56Wow.
00:11:57Come on, let's meet the staff.
00:11:59Although, they're more like family.
00:12:00Victor, good to see you.
00:12:02You're looking well, your Royal Highness.
00:12:04America seems to suit you.
00:12:06You have no idea how much.
00:12:08I think I might.
00:12:10Emily, this is Victor, head butler.
00:12:12It's so nice to meet you, Victor.
00:12:14And you too, miss.
00:12:16Thanks.
00:12:19Hi, everyone.
00:12:23Well, it's really nice to meet everyone.
00:12:26Hi.
00:12:29You have guards with feathered hands.
00:12:32Yeah.
00:12:33Been trying to get a reaction out of them for years.
00:12:36Gentlemen?
00:12:41See?
00:12:42Nothing.
00:12:44The last time Cordinia ever got snow was over 40 years ago.
00:12:48Wow.
00:12:48They still call it the Cordinian Christmas Miracle.
00:12:51Hmm.
00:13:03Leopold, you're here at last, and you're wearing someone else's clothes.
00:13:07Were you robbed?
00:13:09Good to see you too, Mother.
00:13:12Is it?
00:13:13Because if it was, you would have come home more often.
00:13:17Mother, this is Emily Taylor.
00:13:20Hi.
00:13:20It's very nice to meet you, Mrs. Queen.
00:13:26Your Majestinus.
00:13:28And so nice to meet an acquaintance of Leopold's.
00:13:32Emily is more than an acquaintance.
00:13:35She's my girlfriend.
00:13:43Mother?
00:13:45Well, you can't imagine my delight.
00:13:51Wow.
00:13:52What a beautiful room.
00:13:54I love your Christmas tree.
00:13:56I brought you a gift from Philadelphia, a city of brotherly love.
00:14:01Hmm.
00:14:02How thoughtful and unexpected.
00:14:06A cracked bell.
00:14:09Oh, it's the Liberty Bell.
00:14:11And a bald man with glasses.
00:14:13Benjamin Franklin?
00:14:15I find it fascinating that your Mr. Franklin has been credited with discovering electricity,
00:14:21when, in fact, it was discovered 150 years prior by William Gilbert, an Englishman.
00:14:28Oh.
00:14:30Only you could find fault in Benjamin Franklin, Mother.
00:14:34Everyone has faults, dear.
00:14:36Some more than others.
00:14:38Well, thank you for your charming gift.
00:14:40Would you put this someplace special?
00:14:44Oh, look at you.
00:14:46Oh, you're so cute.
00:14:51Oh, and I think I have a sweater just like this, only not as nice.
00:14:57This is Wheaties.
00:14:59Mother is very attached to her dogs.
00:15:02Well, they're very loyal.
00:15:04And they don't leave home.
00:15:07Would you mind if I had a few moments alone with Leopold, dear?
00:15:12Oh, sure.
00:15:13Victor will show you to your room.
00:15:15Take our American guest to the gold room.
00:15:17Oh, gold room.
00:15:18That sounds beautiful.
00:15:19Yes, it's also the farthest room possible, away from my room.
00:15:22It has an excellent view.
00:15:25Of the cemetery.
00:15:26Victor, take Emily to the cardinal suite.
00:15:29It's being renovated.
00:15:31You know what?
00:15:32The cemetery view, that is just...
00:15:33That's gonna be fine.
00:15:38I'll see you later.
00:15:41This way.
00:15:47Why am I only just hearing about this now?
00:15:50Because if I told you about it earlier, it would only have given you more time to ruin things.
00:15:56Well, you've been infatuated before.
00:15:58We love each other.
00:16:00I know you like to be in control of things, but my feelings, they're not in your realm.
00:16:04One day you're going to be king, whether you like it or not.
00:16:06And with that position comes responsibility.
00:16:10You don't even know her.
00:16:11I don't need to.
00:16:13She's a commoner.
00:16:14Actually, she's the most uncommon girl I've ever known.
00:16:18I should never have allowed you to go to America.
00:16:21You were supposed to get an education, come back here and marry Natasha.
00:16:27What happened to the plan?
00:16:29That was your plan, Mother.
00:16:31Not mine.
00:16:38We have 2,000 acres, 75 staff, 118 rooms, four wings.
00:16:44Do you have MapQuest?
00:16:46You get used to it.
00:16:47How long have you lived here?
00:16:48All my life.
00:16:49My father worked for Queen Isadora's father.
00:16:51Oh, so you and she kind of grew up together.
00:16:53In an upstairs-downstairs way, I suppose.
00:16:56She's beautiful.
00:16:57She is that.
00:16:58And terrifying.
00:16:58That too.
00:16:59Do you think she will ever warm up to me?
00:17:01Miracles do happen.
00:17:12Dinner is served.
00:17:15Seared duck.
00:17:17Orange duck.
00:17:18And the Queen's special goose.
00:17:21Duck, duck, goose.
00:17:22And last but not least, jelly deals and haggis.
00:17:26Really, Mother?
00:17:28I thought Emily might enjoy some traditional European dishes.
00:17:35Yes, it's certainly not something you can find at the local diner.
00:17:39I'm sorry, what is haggis?
00:17:41Don't ask.
00:17:50Here we go.
00:18:05I think it's delicious.
00:18:07Mmm, it's delicious.
00:18:15Mmm.
00:18:17Mmm.
00:18:19Oh my God.
00:18:21Apparently.
00:18:24So, Emily, what do your people do?
00:18:28Well, my people are my person.
00:18:32He's a tailor.
00:18:33A tailor.
00:18:35Yes.
00:18:36We have a shop.
00:18:37It's been in our family for 47 years.
00:18:39How quaint.
00:18:40This castle's been in ours for 900.
00:18:43Oh, well, it's not too far apart then.
00:18:46So you work in your father's shop?
00:18:48Yes.
00:18:49You must have other aspirations.
00:18:52Emily's a clothes designer.
00:18:54She made the dress she's wearing.
00:18:57Oh.
00:18:58And what label do you design for?
00:19:02Well, none yet.
00:19:03But I just finished a line of dresses and jackets and hoodies that I have really high hopes for.
00:19:09Hoodies?
00:19:12Well, the world awaits.
00:19:19Sorry, that was excruciating.
00:19:22Oh, nah, I'll live.
00:19:23It's just a flesh wound.
00:19:25Now you know where the term royal pain comes from.
00:19:28How did you grow up to be so normal?
00:19:30Well, she wasn't always like this.
00:19:32Since father died, I know she really has left.
00:19:34Oh, and her kingdom.
00:19:36Yeah, but she can control them.
00:19:39You know, why did I say hoodies?
00:19:40I should have said sweaters.
00:19:41I don't think it would have mattered.
00:19:43You're right.
00:19:43I should have said I was a cardiac surgeon.
00:19:45No, she hates doctors.
00:19:47Oh.
00:19:47Come on.
00:19:48Let me give you a tour of the castle.
00:19:49Should I grab my hiking boot?
00:19:52Or...
00:19:52Ah, very funny.
00:19:54My favorite is the weapons room.
00:19:58Wow.
00:19:59Okay, what is this for?
00:20:00To fight a fire-breathing dragon?
00:20:02Exactly.
00:20:04Oh, should we fence?
00:20:05Um, no, absolutely not.
00:20:07Come, come, come, come, come, come, come.
00:20:08I'll teach you, I'll teach you, I'll teach you.
00:20:08No, I don't even know how to hold a sword.
00:20:10You'll love it, you'll love it, you'll love it.
00:20:11So, so, back a bit.
00:20:13Hand behind the back.
00:20:14Okay.
00:20:15On go.
00:20:16And lunch.
00:20:17Okay.
00:20:19And one.
00:20:21Two.
00:20:22Three.
00:20:23Those are the perfect shoes for me.
00:20:25When you put it all together, it looks a little something like...
00:20:35Wow.
00:20:36That's amazing.
00:20:37I think you have fenced for a girl or two.
00:20:40Not in a very long time.
00:20:42Your turn.
00:20:43My turn?
00:20:44Mm-hmm.
00:20:45Okay, my turn.
00:20:46I can do this.
00:20:48Okay.
00:20:48Elbow.
00:20:49Elbow down.
00:20:50En garde!
00:21:01It was an accident.
00:21:04Uh...
00:21:04Anyone ask?
00:21:05We were never here.
00:21:06Oof.
00:21:08And this is the ballroom.
00:21:13The palace has held the Christmas ball here for over a century.
00:21:17Mother still hasn't forgiven me for missing last year.
00:21:20It's a favorite night, but everything has to be perfect.
00:21:23Oh, well, if everything has to be perfect, then I think I'll be spending the night in the gold room.
00:21:27No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:21:29You'll be here.
00:21:29With me.
00:21:32Waltzing.
00:21:32Yeah, because I'm so known for my waltzing.
00:21:34Yeah, I know what we need.
00:21:37Some music.
00:21:39Um, no.
00:21:40No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:21:48Ready?
00:21:49Oh.
00:21:50Oh, where do I go?
00:21:52Okay, so where do I go?
00:21:53Ready?
00:21:54Yes.
00:21:57That's it.
00:21:58Oh, yeah, this is waltzing.
00:21:59I don't think this is waltzing.
00:22:01It's my phone.
00:22:12They look so happy together.
00:22:14A pity.
00:22:21Whee!
00:22:36It's not a dream.
00:22:45Where is the kitchen?
00:22:49This isn't the kitchen.
00:22:51Oh, do you know where the kitchen is, kind sir?
00:22:56Oh, look at this sword.
00:22:58May I borrow your sword, kind sir?
00:23:02What's that?
00:23:03You want a duel?
00:23:04You want a duel?
00:23:06You want a duel?
00:23:07Oh, you.
00:23:08No, you.
00:23:09I'm listening.
00:23:10Yeah.
00:23:15I'm so sorry, Your Majesty.
00:23:17I just was looking for the kitchen.
00:23:20I was hungry.
00:23:21A knife and fork are the usual utensils.
00:23:24Everything all right, Your Majesty?
00:23:26Please escort our guest to the kitchen
00:23:28before she draws blood.
00:23:33I'm sorry.
00:23:53Tony, hi.
00:23:55Where are you at this very moment?
00:23:59The gold room.
00:24:00There's a gold room?
00:24:02Yes.
00:24:03And the 117 rooms in other colors.
00:24:06Tony, it is an honest-to-goodness real-life castle.
00:24:09So, how's Leo's mom?
00:24:12Well, remember how I always said
00:24:13I missed out on having a mother?
00:24:16Yeah, I might have changed my mind on that.
00:24:19Oh, oh, I gotta, I gotta go.
00:24:21I love you guys.
00:24:21Bye.
00:24:22Love you.
00:24:22Good luck.
00:24:23Bye.
00:24:25Good morning.
00:24:26May I come in, miss?
00:24:27Yeah.
00:24:28I mean, me castle is to castle.
00:24:31Your tea.
00:24:32Oh, thank you.
00:24:36Oh, no.
00:24:37No, no, no, no, no.
00:24:37I'll do that.
00:24:38Please.
00:24:39Oh, let me miss you.
00:24:40It's my job.
00:24:41No, no, I'm so sorry.
00:24:42I'm, I'm such a messy traveler.
00:24:44It's like my suitcase just explodes.
00:24:47If you don't mind me saying,
00:24:50you're different than the others.
00:24:54Others?
00:24:56How many girls has Leo brought home?
00:25:00Oh, no, miss.
00:25:02Royals, I mean,
00:25:03you're different than
00:25:05most of the ones that visited here.
00:25:10Is that a good thing?
00:25:11Oh, yes.
00:25:13Yes, miss.
00:25:15Oh, and it's, it's Emily.
00:25:16You, you don't have to call me miss.
00:25:18What's your name?
00:25:19It's Olivia.
00:25:21Nice to meet you, miss.
00:25:22I mean, Emily.
00:25:25It's nice to meet you, too.
00:25:28And thank you for the help.
00:25:29I can obviously use it.
00:25:32I don't understand what you see in her.
00:25:35I can be myself with her.
00:25:37But you're not yourself, Leopold.
00:25:39She makes me happy.
00:25:41As you know very well,
00:25:43royals don't have the luxury of such frivolities.
00:25:46You and father were happy.
00:25:48Not at first.
00:25:50Fortunately, our parents knew what was best for us.
00:25:52Not only did our peerage match,
00:25:54but we developed a deep affinity for each other.
00:26:25A deep affinity.
00:26:27We're going to be able to fit into ours.
00:26:28I have really sewn him to the table top.
00:26:33Good morning.
00:26:34Good morning.
00:26:35Hi.
00:26:37Oh, wow.
00:26:38I'm really underdressed.
00:26:40That's not important.
00:26:41Should I change my clothes?
00:26:42As if that would help.
00:26:44You look great.
00:26:46In fact, I can't wait to get out of this monkey suit.
00:26:50I trust your room was adequate?
00:26:51Oh, it's beautiful.
00:26:53It's like a postcard.
00:26:55I'm going to take Emily into town this afternoon.
00:26:57With the ball, it's in two days,
00:26:58and we have a dinner tonight.
00:27:00Your schedule is full.
00:27:01Surely I can have one afternoon to show Emily around.
00:27:05Hi.
00:27:05Would you care to join us, Your Majesty?
00:27:07Well, as tempting as that might sound,
00:27:09I can't just dash off on a whim and tootle around home.
00:27:13Don't worry.
00:27:13We'll be back in plenty of time
00:27:15to embarrass you in front of your dinner guests.
00:27:18I have no doubt about that.
00:27:23Morning, gentlemen.
00:27:25Go Billy!
00:27:28Are you sure they're not robots?
00:27:30There's only one way to find out.
00:27:35No!
00:27:40So?
00:27:41You make me want to move.
00:27:44You make me grow, make me play,
00:27:47make me rock and make me swing,
00:27:48got to do it night and day, yeah.
00:27:51Nothing?
00:27:52Really?
00:27:54I'll get you next time.
00:27:55We're coming back.
00:27:57That was good.
00:28:00Thanks, Ivan,
00:28:01but I think I'll drive today.
00:28:03Yes, you're going to like this.
00:28:04Come on.
00:28:23Going incognito?
00:28:27It's just easier.
00:28:28You're like a rock star.
00:28:29Yeah, just with no discernible talent.
00:28:32You waltz, you fence, you make pancakes.
00:28:42What are they actually for?
00:28:44Uh, to protect me.
00:28:46From what?
00:28:47People who don't like my mother.
00:28:48Oh, I get it now.
00:28:51They're going to follow us everywhere?
00:28:52Yep.
00:28:53Restaurants?
00:28:53Yep.
00:28:53Bathroom?
00:28:54Me, yes, you know.
00:28:55Okay.
00:28:56I'm going to get used to it.
00:28:57Well, I have to say,
00:28:58it was rather nice not having them around in Philly.
00:29:00It made me feel so...
00:29:01Calming.
00:29:03I was going to say free.
00:29:11This one looks like it's still growing.
00:29:15My dad and I had this Christmas tradition
00:29:17where we would try and find the scrawniest tree,
00:29:20the one that needed to be loved the most.
00:29:21I never thought of it that way.
00:29:24Well, it was just his way of making the tree special
00:29:26instead of telling me it was all he could afford.
00:29:29That's nice.
00:29:31Would you like to buy a tree?
00:29:33Can we?
00:29:34Of course.
00:29:35I'm Poppy.
00:29:37Well, hello, Poppy.
00:29:38That's a pretty name.
00:29:39This is Leo and I'm Emily.
00:29:41Do you go to school at St. Francis?
00:29:43Yes, and I live there too.
00:29:45St. Francis is an orphanage.
00:29:48Oh, I see.
00:29:49I'm only there until I can find a permanent family.
00:29:54Well, I'm sure you're going to find a perfect one
00:29:56and hopefully very soon.
00:29:57Yep, I'm not too picky.
00:30:01I grew up without a mom.
00:30:03I know how hard that can be.
00:30:04So, you're half an orphan?
00:30:08Well, I suppose I am.
00:30:09But you turned out okay, right?
00:30:13She did indeed.
00:30:15And you will too.
00:30:18You know what?
00:30:19My best friend Tony gave me this friendship bracelet
00:30:22and I would like to give it to you.
00:30:31You too, Prince Leopold.
00:30:33So much for incognito.
00:30:36Would it be possible to buy all the trees
00:30:39so that we can donate them back to the town?
00:30:41Wow, thank you.
00:30:44Mr. Agnes, Mr. Agnes, look.
00:30:46Wow, so this Prince Leo guy is a pretty nice guy, huh?
00:30:49Uh, he is, as far as princes go.
00:30:52I mean, I don't really know that many princes,
00:30:55but I'd say you're in, like, a top 2%.
00:30:58Why not a top 1%?
00:31:00Well, you'd have to do more princely deeds.
00:31:02Okay.
00:31:02Um, does this count?
00:31:05He's right over there!
00:31:07Wait, it's Leo!
00:31:08Oh, my goodness!
00:31:10Uh...
00:31:11It's okay.
00:31:12Thank you!
00:31:12Oh, my goodness!
00:31:13It's so beautiful!
00:31:15It's nice to meet you.
00:31:16Yes.
00:31:17Pardon me.
00:31:19Oh.
00:31:21Oh, and you.
00:31:24Merry Christmas.
00:31:29I mean, it'll be cute once we decorate it.
00:31:31Definitely.
00:31:32Some lights, some ornaments.
00:31:33Little mini Christmas dreams.
00:31:35Where have you been?
00:31:36Oh, we just went into town,
00:31:38then the vineyard,
00:31:39then a few museums,
00:31:40and a lake.
00:31:41Yeah, we kind of lost track of time.
00:31:43Well, you better hurry and change.
00:31:45People will be here very soon.
00:31:47What's that?
00:31:48Oh, it's...
00:31:49Oh, never mind.
00:31:50Victor?
00:31:51Will you please have this taken to...
00:31:53someplace special?
00:31:55Of course.
00:32:03I think she's warming up to me.
00:32:05I should come around.
00:32:06Just give her time.
00:32:07Yeah, I don't think I have that many years left.
00:32:09Where do you suppose this someplace special is?
00:32:12The composter.
00:32:13First it was my snow globe,
00:32:15then it was a tree.
00:32:16You don't think I'm going to end up
00:32:16in someplace special, do you?
00:32:18Have you ever noticed how she, like,
00:32:20makes absolutely no sound when she approaches?
00:32:21I mean, really, she's like a cat or a ninja.
00:32:23Do you think we could not talk about my mother?
00:32:26I would love to not talk about your mother.
00:32:30Oh, Leopold!
00:32:32I have missed you so much.
00:32:36I didn't expect you to be here.
00:32:38Hey, don't be silly.
00:32:39Your mother invited me, like she does every year.
00:32:42Ah, mother.
00:32:45Emily, this is Natasha.
00:32:46Natasha, Emily.
00:32:48How spectacularly unexpected
00:32:50to meet the girl who stole my Leopold's house.
00:32:53Oh, thank you.
00:32:54I think.
00:32:56Natasha's an old family friend.
00:32:58Well, we did go out for a bit.
00:32:59Although, as I recall, we mostly stayed in.
00:33:02Only because we weren't allowed out.
00:33:04So how long have you two known each other?
00:33:06About a year.
00:33:07Oh, how sweet.
00:33:08So this is your first Christmas together?
00:33:11Yeah.
00:33:12Well, last year was the first Christmas
00:33:13Leopold and I spent apart.
00:33:15Well, that's a lot of Christmases.
00:33:18We've known each other since birth, pretty much.
00:33:20We've grown up doing everything together.
00:33:23Uh, not quite everything.
00:33:25Well, we did get into a lot of trouble.
00:33:27Do you remember that one time
00:33:29we snuck past your security
00:33:30and we climbed the palace wall?
00:33:32Yeah.
00:33:32The looks on a guard's faces, would you?
00:33:34Oh, after they caught a skinny dipping.
00:33:42I'm gonna...
00:33:43I'm gonna go change.
00:33:45Yeah, um...
00:33:46I should go, too.
00:33:47I look forward to catching up.
00:34:00Emily?
00:34:01Can I help you?
00:34:02Oh, if only.
00:34:05I take it you've met the Duchess.
00:34:07No, she's a Duchess?
00:34:10The Duchess of Warren.
00:34:12Great.
00:34:13The unmarried Duchess of Warren.
00:34:16I'm afraid so.
00:34:21Oh, this is lovely.
00:34:22Oh, thank you.
00:34:23I mean, I thought it was when I made it.
00:34:26You made this?
00:34:27Yeah, no, I made all of them.
00:34:29And, you know, I thought they were
00:34:30nice and appropriate,
00:34:31but now they just seem so unroyal.
00:34:37Let's go with this one.
00:34:42You know, she's pretty.
00:34:44But you are beautiful.
00:34:46Thank you, Lydia.
00:34:48You're the best.
00:34:52You ready, Emily?
00:34:54Yeah, almost.
00:34:56Okay, let's go.
00:34:57And then, the chandelier fell.
00:35:03Good evening.
00:35:05Shall I make the introductions?
00:35:08The baron and baroness of Newbury.
00:35:11You do know the Duchess, Natasha.
00:35:14And the Count and Countess of Exeter.
00:35:17The Count and Countess of Sari.
00:35:19And the Count and Countess of Devon.
00:35:22I false count.
00:35:23Just nod and smile.
00:35:24That's what I do.
00:35:25Emily Taylor from...
00:35:28South Philadelphia.
00:35:30Hi, it's very nice to meet you.
00:35:32Leo, I would like you to sit beside Natasha.
00:35:35And Emily, I would like you to sit...
00:35:37beside the baroness.
00:35:45Could you have sat her any further away?
00:35:47There's a table in the kitchen.
00:35:54So, Natasha, how long are you staying here for?
00:35:58Your mother's inviting me to stay through the holidays.
00:36:00All beyond as need be.
00:36:02The Christmas fall wouldn't be the same without Natasha.
00:36:05Thank you, Isadora.
00:36:06My fondest holidays have been spent with you and Leopold.
00:36:09Last Christmas just wasn't the same without you.
00:36:12He's going to make it up this Christmas.
00:36:15Apparently, I already am.
00:36:18Oh, please.
00:36:20It's fine.
00:36:31Third walk to the left.
00:36:36Galena told me the other day that she's publishing a book.
00:36:40Not a tell-all, I hope.
00:36:44Actually, it's a children's book.
00:36:46Wow.
00:36:46Congratulations.
00:36:48Yeah, that's wonderful.
00:36:48Were your children the inspiration for the book?
00:36:53Unfortunately not.
00:36:55Having children was not in the cards for us.
00:36:59I'm so sorry.
00:37:02Truly, I...
00:37:03I'm sorry.
00:37:05Tell us, Emily, how do you occupy your time in America?
00:37:09Oh, Emily comes from a long line of tailors.
00:37:12She works at her father's shop.
00:37:14Yes, it's actually where Leo and I met.
00:37:17He came in for a missing button and I needled him into asking me out.
00:37:22Well, how refreshing to have a trade.
00:37:25Well, how refreshing to have a trade.
00:37:25It pays the bills.
00:37:27She's also a very talented clothes designer.
00:37:29Leo looks great in all of my clothes.
00:37:32Well, I don't mean my clothes.
00:37:35I just mean he looks great in everything.
00:37:36And even my father thinks so, and he thinks everyone needs alterations.
00:37:40Emily's father and I have become very close.
00:37:43Yeah, which is kind of amazing because he never approves of anyone I go out with.
00:37:46Well, how many would that be?
00:37:49Oh, no, not that many.
00:37:50Like, six.
00:37:52Or, I mean, like, four.
00:37:55Or two.
00:37:58This is awesome.
00:38:08This soup is delicious.
00:38:11That is the finger bow.
00:38:21No, I can't say or do anything right.
00:38:24I am a total loser.
00:38:25You're not a loser.
00:38:27No, I am here.
00:38:28Oh, and his ex-girlfriend is here.
00:38:30Mm-hmm.
00:38:32And she's hot.
00:38:33Okay, but you're hot.
00:38:35Anyway, she's old news, right?
00:38:36I'm not old enough.
00:38:38And what does she have that you don't?
00:38:39Oh, I don't know.
00:38:40Royal appearance.
00:38:42Title.
00:38:43Fortune.
00:38:44Yikes.
00:38:46Oh, I gotta go.
00:38:47That is my lady's maid.
00:38:49Lady's maid?
00:38:50Oh, please.
00:38:51Send it to our apartment.
00:38:54I love you.
00:38:55Love you back.
00:38:56Bye.
00:38:57Come on in, Olivia.
00:38:59Bye.
00:39:01No, no, no, no, no, no.
00:39:02Please, please, don't look.
00:39:03I look hideous.
00:39:04I like your hideous look.
00:39:08Really?
00:39:09Really.
00:39:11You still want to talk to me after last night?
00:39:13It wasn't that bad.
00:39:16All right, it was a little bad,
00:39:18but I'm sure everyone's forgotten about it by now.
00:39:20Well, that's nice, because I'll be reliving it every day for the rest of my life.
00:39:24I love you.
00:39:26I love you just the way you are.
00:39:28Even with all my unsuitable qualities?
00:39:32Even with your blue alien face?
00:39:34Um, it's a beauty mask.
00:39:36Oh.
00:39:37Your short stack, madam?
00:39:41Did you make these?
00:39:43Yep.
00:39:44You did not.
00:39:45All right, the chef did, but I supervised.
00:39:49You know, I should get you to feel sorry for me more often.
00:39:52It's you who should be feeling sorry for me.
00:39:54Mother scheduled me every minute from now until Christmas.
00:39:57Well, you have responsibilities.
00:39:59That's one way of putting it.
00:40:02Wait, that looks suspiciously like coffee.
00:40:06Smuggled it in from the staff kitchen.
00:40:09I don't think I could take another drop of tea.
00:40:11I've always hated it.
00:40:13Cheers.
00:40:14Sir, before you go, Your Majesty, shall I go over your schedule?
00:40:17Shall I go over yours?
00:40:18I think we both know mine.
00:40:19Proceed.
00:40:21You're right at ten, followed by the royal procession.
00:40:24Tomorrow the benediction at eleven.
00:40:26Statute dedication at noon.
00:40:28Groundbreaking ceremony for the new children's hospital at one.
00:40:31Embassy signing at three.
00:40:33Yes, yes, but have the flowers for the ball been delivered yet?
00:40:36Red and green.
00:40:36More red than green.
00:40:39I thought I told you to get rid of this.
00:40:42No, you told me to put it someplace special.
00:40:45Well, by somewhere special, I meant in the charity, then.
00:40:48I must have misunderstood.
00:40:50I highly doubt that.
00:40:52You like her, don't you?
00:40:54She has a certain way.
00:40:56Could you be more non-committal?
00:40:58There are others I like less.
00:41:01Hmm.
00:41:02And who would that be besides me at this moment?
00:41:05That list would occupy most of the day, I'm afraid.
00:41:08Do you remember my mother's lectures about choosing the right partner?
00:41:12As if it were yesterday.
00:41:16I wanted to run away just like Leopold, but she wouldn't let me.
00:41:21This throne is far greater than any one person's wishes.
00:41:27It's a thousand years of history.
00:41:29History is past.
00:41:32But if we turn our backs a little bit, what then?
00:41:35In a few years, the only kings and queens will be found in a deck of cards.
00:41:40Good morning, Your Majesty.
00:41:42Oh!
00:41:43Natasha, darling!
00:41:48Just look at you.
00:41:50You remind me of myself when I was your age.
00:41:54Perhaps that's the problem.
00:41:55What boy wants to marry his mother?
00:41:58He needs time with you.
00:42:00It seems that he's forgotten how perfectly suitable you are.
00:42:05I'll do my best to remind him.
00:42:07I'm sure you will.
00:42:09Shall we ride?
00:42:10Yes.
00:42:18There you are.
00:42:19Mount up.
00:42:21Emily, will you not be joining us for the morning ride?
00:42:23No, just seeing you off.
00:42:25Emily doesn't know how to ride, Mother.
00:42:27I believe I told you that.
00:42:31I'll see you in a couple of hours.
00:42:32Or later.
00:42:35Come, Leo.
00:42:36Let's take our favorite trails.
00:42:54A strawberry and a kiwi run into each other at the supermarket.
00:42:58And the strawberry said, look, I'm in the shape of a heart.
00:43:01And then the kiwi said, would you please change this object?
00:43:08Hi.
00:43:10How may I assist you?
00:43:11Please, please, don't get up.
00:43:12Really, don't.
00:43:13Sit down.
00:43:16You kept the tree.
00:43:18Oh, yes.
00:43:19We were just about to decorate it.
00:43:21Would you join us for a cup?
00:43:22I would love to.
00:43:23Yeah, thanks.
00:43:26And maybe I could help you decorate that little tree.
00:43:29Oh, yeah, yeah.
00:43:33Nine-letter word for small but beautiful.
00:43:37I don't know about you guys, but this, this looks like a royal Christmas tree.
00:43:41Yeah, I think it's so beautiful.
00:43:44Exquisite.
00:43:45Exquisite.
00:43:46That's it.
00:43:48Finished.
00:43:49Finished.
00:43:51I heard laughter.
00:43:53An unusual sound for around here.
00:43:57May I help you, Baroness?
00:43:58Actually, I was looking for Emily.
00:44:10I am so embarrassed about last night, Baroness.
00:44:13If what I said hurt you, I'm truly sorry.
00:44:15It's Galena, and you did nothing wrong.
00:44:18Oh.
00:44:18I did everything wrong, but I do appreciate you saying that.
00:44:23Left behind on the morning ride?
00:44:25Yeah.
00:44:27I didn't learn to ride until well after I'd met Kent.
00:44:30You know, it's not easy fitting in with these people.
00:44:34Wait, right?
00:44:35These people, your people, they are now.
00:44:38When I first met the Baron's family, I tried to greet them in German.
00:44:42I ended up calling them thieves and breaking a price discretion urn.
00:44:46Really?
00:44:48Okay, that does make me feel a little better.
00:44:51I'm going into town, which is my official excuse to go Christmas shopping.
00:44:57Come with me?
00:45:00Sure.
00:45:07Aw, it's kind of you to get gifts for the staff.
00:45:10They're just little stocking stuffers.
00:45:12I know, but it's the thought, though, isn't it?
00:45:15Emily!
00:45:16Oh, Poppy!
00:45:20Hi!
00:45:21I would like you to meet the Baroness of Newberry.
00:45:24Greetings, milady.
00:45:27You can call me Galena.
00:45:29And how do you two know each other?
00:45:30We're friends for life.
00:45:32Yes, we are.
00:45:34And how are you?
00:45:35How are things?
00:45:35Well, Prince Leopold bought all the Christmas trees, so now we just have some wreaths to sell.
00:45:40I wish we had more things to sell.
00:45:42We're almost out.
00:45:50You know, maybe I can help.
00:45:54The crowd seems even smaller this year.
00:45:57They're probably bored by now.
00:45:59Same clothes, same smiles, same waves.
00:46:03Well, perhaps next year you can ride in on a skateboard with a backwards-facing head.
00:46:08I'm just saying, the world's different now.
00:46:11I'm different, but you never want to talk about it.
00:46:13Yes, it's because this is exactly the type of conversation I'd been hoping for on our way to the benediction.
00:46:41Merry Christmas, Your Majesty.
00:46:43It's a scarf, for you.
00:46:49Now, that's what I call the Christmas spirit.
00:47:03I'm sorry I have so many obligations.
00:47:06Don't be sorry.
00:47:07It's not always like this.
00:47:09You could come with us.
00:47:10I'd be in your way.
00:47:12No, you wouldn't.
00:47:13Okay, I'd be in your mother's way.
00:47:15Okay.
00:47:16After the ball tonight, it's just us.
00:47:18And the old us.
00:47:19I miss those losers.
00:47:21Me too.
00:47:25This is my favorite spot.
00:47:27You're going to love it.
00:47:28Oh, wow, it's beautiful.
00:47:30It was built in the 18th century.
00:47:33So you have a church and a cemetery?
00:47:35Yep.
00:47:35You can get baptized, married, and buried without ever having to leave the grounds.
00:47:39And hopefully in that order.
00:47:41Mm-hmm.
00:47:42Unfortunately, all the royal weddings are down the Grand Cathedral.
00:47:45We're in seats about 2,000.
00:47:48I always thought if I was to get married, it'd be nice to do it here.
00:47:53So you've thought about getting married?
00:47:55What?
00:47:56On occasion.
00:47:59You?
00:48:00Oh, no, never.
00:48:03Really?
00:48:05Okay, maybe once or twice a day since I was eight years old.
00:48:12You know, if we were ever to, you know, we could do it anywhere, I wouldn't care.
00:48:20Me either.
00:48:21Back for Taylor's shop.
00:48:23International House of Pancakes.
00:48:25In matching hoodies.
00:48:26Obviously.
00:48:27And barefoot.
00:48:30Look, I can be Prince Leopold.
00:48:34And sometimes I'm good at it.
00:48:36You have to realize that I'm still Leo from Philly.
00:48:42Hello.
00:48:43There you are.
00:48:44Your mother sent me to find you.
00:48:45Of course she did.
00:48:46Chop, chop.
00:48:47You're due at the royal unveiling.
00:48:49I haven't been to this spot in ages.
00:48:52Since our pretend wedding.
00:48:54Remember, Leo?
00:48:54Oh, so you're already married.
00:48:57We were kids.
00:48:59Leo gave me the prettiest ring.
00:49:01He made it himself.
00:49:02Really?
00:49:03No, no, no.
00:49:03It was nothing.
00:49:04It was just a piece of straw.
00:49:05And I still have it.
00:49:10Uh...
00:49:10Uh...
00:49:13Uh...
00:49:14Uh...
00:49:15Uh...
00:49:15Uh...
00:49:16Uh...
00:49:18Uh...
00:49:20Oh, Natasha, darling.
00:49:22I see you found them.
00:49:24Emily?
00:49:24Do you have your gown for tonight's ball?
00:49:27I did bring something.
00:49:29Yes, I'm sure you did.
00:49:30But I have the perfect dress for you.
00:49:31I wore it at the Christmas ball the year that I got engaged.
00:49:34Wow.
00:49:35Wait, son.
00:49:36Timeless.
00:49:37Thank you, Your Majesty.
00:49:38But we're probably totally different sizes.
00:49:40I'm sure you can make it work.
00:49:41You are a seamstress, aren't you?
00:49:43I'll have it sent up to your room.
00:49:49Sorry.
00:49:51It's okay.
00:49:55Okay, so I'll see you in a couple of hours.
00:49:57Yeah?
00:49:58Yeah, have fun.
00:49:58I wouldn't do.
00:49:59Love you.
00:50:00You too.
00:50:21Look, a hundred dollar bill.
00:50:25A hundred dollars?
00:50:26No, nothing.
00:50:28Ah.
00:50:33Hey, Victor.
00:50:35Priceless tapestries line these walls.
00:50:38But many are filled with holes.
00:50:41I don't see any holes.
00:50:43They're there.
00:50:47Thank you, Victor.
00:50:50Actually, Victor, could I ask you a favor?
00:50:56Coffee or hot dog, perhaps?
00:50:58No, I'd...
00:51:01I'd like you to prepare me for the ball.
00:51:04I'm not sure we have time enough for that.
00:51:06Well, we have all day.
00:51:08We need all year.
00:51:11You might be surprised.
00:51:13I believe I might be.
00:51:15Follow me.
00:51:18Now, pretend I'm the Grand Duke of Canterbury.
00:51:21How do you do?
00:51:22No, don't reach.
00:51:24Hello, Grand Duke.
00:51:26That's quite a grip.
00:51:28Hey.
00:51:28Wasn't a compliment.
00:51:44Very good.
00:51:47Now, just like that.
00:51:48The trick is to move briskly and with aplomb.
00:51:53Look at this.
00:51:54I'm doing it.
00:51:56I'm totally waltzing.
00:51:58Now, triple time.
00:51:59Triple time?
00:52:00Here we go.
00:52:01One, two, three, one.
00:52:02Triple time.
00:52:03One, two, three, one.
00:52:04I can't.
00:52:05Mom.
00:52:06Let's go on to basics, shall we?
00:52:08Yes, please.
00:52:20Now, the curts.
00:52:22Watch me.
00:52:27Now, if it's a princess, you always curts.
00:52:29Under no circumstances is there any touching, hugging, or handshaking.
00:52:34Deal.
00:52:34Deal?
00:52:37Is that a high five?
00:52:38Yes, it was.
00:52:40My first one.
00:52:45The canapes.
00:52:47Stop.
00:52:48Gloves off for eating.
00:52:51No, no.
00:52:52You're not a gardener.
00:52:54You must do it to squeak.
00:52:58Very good.
00:53:01Now, come on.
00:53:02What's the work to do?
00:53:04Well, I got it.
00:53:06Emily?
00:53:07Yes.
00:53:08Come in.
00:53:29And finally, the girl.
00:53:33Wait, this is the dress the queen wants me to wear?
00:53:36I'm afraid so.
00:53:38Oh, this is going to need a lot of work.
00:53:41But if we're going to make it to the ball in time, we better hurry.
00:53:46Ah, there you are, sir.
00:53:47I've been looking all over for you.
00:53:49The guests will be here soon.
00:53:53Victor, you've known me all my life.
00:53:55That I have.
00:53:57Have you ever seen me happier than I am with Emily?
00:54:00That I have not.
00:54:01I have not.
00:54:02Good.
00:54:05Um, I'm going to propose to her tonight, after the ball.
00:54:10I must say, that makes me very happy as well.
00:54:15Thought it might.
00:54:19I just wish Mother could be happy for me.
00:54:23It's not forbidden to dream.
00:54:24I just wish Mother could be happy for me.
00:54:55A lovely evening.
00:54:56Enjoy.
00:54:58Ah, Lord and Lady Wendermere.
00:55:03Where's Emily?
00:55:05Perhaps she couldn't fit into the dress.
00:55:07Fitting in, there seemed to be a problem for her.
00:55:10Ah.
00:55:12Lovely to see you again.
00:55:13How are you keeping?
00:55:14How are you?
00:55:15Good to see you.
00:55:40You look amazing.
00:55:46Remember this look, because I might be turning blue soon.
00:55:50I couldn't let out the ways.
00:55:53Well, at least let me introduce you to some people before you lose consciousness.
00:56:11Ah, Princess Julia.
00:56:13I'd like you to meet Emily Taylor.
00:56:14Your Highness.
00:56:16And this is the Earl of Calendale.
00:56:18Lingers down.
00:56:20It is a pleasure.
00:56:21Brilliant!
00:56:23I do beg your pardon.
00:56:26Yes.
00:56:30Can I present to you the Grand Duke of Canterbury, Emily Taylor?
00:56:37It's a pleasure, Your Grace.
00:56:39Yes.
00:56:40Indeed it is, my dear.
00:56:42Well done.
00:56:43Shall we?
00:56:44Yes.
00:56:46Okay?
00:56:47Yes.
00:56:48It's beautiful here.
00:56:49Ah.
00:56:51Love.
00:56:55You'll have the can, please.
00:56:56Good evening.
00:57:27We're talking about adopting.
00:57:30Oh, yeah.
00:57:33Sweet.
00:57:34Yes.
00:57:38Oh.
00:57:40Barely recognised the dress.
00:57:43I made a few adjustments.
00:57:45I hope you don't mind.
00:57:46Doesn't she look stunning, Mother?
00:57:49Positively lovely.
00:57:52Leopold.
00:57:53We're opening the ball.
00:58:06I can't think of a greater gift than to have our own Prince Leopold back from his academic
00:58:11adventure.
00:58:11And while I'm not completely sure that they were completely academic, I can only assume
00:58:18that he has retained enough knowledge to resume his royal duties and to tie a proper tie.
00:58:25Thank you for that wonderful vote of confidence, Mother.
00:58:29So please enjoy this evening's ball and may all your holidays be bright.
00:58:43Emily Taylor.
00:58:45Would you like to dance?
00:58:47Leo.
00:58:48It's the opening waltz.
00:58:49That's us.
00:58:50Oh.
00:58:51Didn't Leo tell you?
00:58:52We've always danced the opening dance together.
00:58:55No, I think he failed to mention that.
00:58:57Unfortunately, we didn't get to last year with him being in America and all.
00:59:01Even I took a year off being royal.
00:59:03But we all come back.
00:59:05It's who we are.
00:59:07Come.
00:59:08Let's make up for lost heights.
00:59:09I already told the Grand Duke you'd do him the honour.
00:59:14But the Grand Duke is 80.
00:59:15He's still upright though.
00:59:17It would be an honour.
00:59:26Where were we?
00:59:27Oh, yes.
00:59:29I know you don't waltz, but we can wing it.
00:59:33I would love to waltz, your majesty.
00:59:46What did you do to dance like this?
00:59:48Victor.
00:59:48What do you do to dance like this weekend ?
00:59:50Oh, Victor.
00:59:53Hi.
00:59:56Hi.
01:00:02Hi.
01:00:06Hi.
01:00:12Hi.
01:00:15Hi.
01:00:17Hi.
01:00:18Hi.
01:00:18Hi.
01:00:18Hi.
01:00:27Should we go out onto the balcony?
01:00:29There's something I'd like to ask you.
01:00:33Switch partners?
01:00:39Should we sip this one out?
01:00:41A fine idea, my dear. Thank you.
01:01:01She's not that good.
01:01:03You're a terrible liar, but thank you.
01:01:18Look at those two. The perfect couple.
01:01:22They were made for one another.
01:01:24And I dream to that.
01:01:48Oh, hey.
01:01:50Oh, don't let me interrupt.
01:01:52I just... I just need a break.
01:01:54You've come to the right place.
01:01:56Oh, Emily, you look so beautiful.
01:01:58You look positively royal.
01:02:02Thank you for the gifts under the tree, Emily.
01:02:04Thank you so much. Thank you.
01:02:06That's so kind.
01:02:07Of course. They're just little things.
01:02:08I just wanted you guys to know how much I appreciate you making me feel so welcome.
01:02:13Bambans?
01:02:13Oh, I'm starving. Yes.
01:02:15But you know what?
01:02:16Do you have anything more filling?
01:02:18What would you like to eat?
01:02:19I would kill for a six-foot hoagie right now.
01:02:22Hoagie?
01:02:23A what?
01:02:25Oh, you've never lived until you have tried one.
01:02:40Oh, I never tire of watching the two of you.
01:02:42And we never tire of being watched, do we, Leo?
01:02:45Where's Emily?
01:02:46Oh, she's somewhere.
01:02:47Hello.
01:02:48But Leopold, you must say hello to the Count of Glendower and the Duchess of Wingate.
01:02:52You have so much catching up to do.
01:02:58You have outdone yourself, Isadora.
01:03:00Everything is splendid.
01:03:02Hmm.
01:03:02Not everything.
01:03:04I'm not one to give up, you know that.
01:03:06But maybe Leo and I aren't meant to be.
01:03:08Natasha, this has been planned since you were children.
01:03:11But you've seen the way he looks at her.
01:03:14I've seen him look at you the same way, too.
01:03:18Not in a long time.
01:03:18Um, perhaps we're not going about this the right way.
01:03:22Victor?
01:03:24Where is she?
01:03:27So this, my friends, is a Philadelphia hoagie.
01:03:31We have cheese, chicken, salami, pickles.
01:03:33You can never have too many pickles.
01:03:35Oh, you know what we need?
01:03:36Bologna.
01:03:37Oh, we have mutton.
01:03:40Okay, that'll do.
01:03:41Wait, what is mutton again?
01:03:43Uh, here's some jelly deals.
01:03:45No, no, no.
01:03:45We're going to draw the line at that.
01:03:46Not putting that in there.
01:03:49What is this?
01:03:50Your Majesty.
01:03:51We didn't expect you.
01:03:53So it appears.
01:03:57I was just making them a little American cuisine.
01:04:01What might that be?
01:04:02A McDonald's Kentucky Fried Chicken?
01:04:05It appears that it is more important for you to take care of your stomachs
01:04:09than attend to your jobs and take care of our guests.
01:04:14You two.
01:04:15You are fired.
01:04:16It's Christmas Eve, Your Majesty.
01:04:18Please don't punish them.
01:04:19This is completely my fault.
01:04:21They know their places.
01:04:23Perhaps the problem here is you don't know yours.
01:04:25You're still under the illusion that you belong with Leopold.
01:04:29That he belongs with the royal, not a commoner.
01:04:34The throne is more than just a bench covered with velvet.
01:04:38It is so much more.
01:04:40You have no idea what it takes to be royal.
01:04:50I'm so sorry.
01:04:53I'm so sorry.
01:04:54You didn't know.
01:04:56No, but I should have.
01:04:58I...
01:04:58Don't worry, miss.
01:05:01Miss?
01:05:03You're a guest of the prince.
01:05:05And I'm the maid.
01:05:10I'm so sorry.
01:05:18I would do anything to fix this, Victor.
01:05:21I don't think I could feel much worse.
01:05:24To Prince Leopold return home.
01:05:27Cheers.
01:05:28Cheers.
01:05:29Oh, so nice to have you back.
01:05:32Pleasure.
01:05:33Thanks for coming.
01:05:34Nice to see you all.
01:05:35Apparently a cat of yours.
01:05:44I believe Miss Taylor will be heading home for the holidays.
01:05:49Is this really what you want?
01:05:51What I want doesn't matter.
01:05:53It's the way things are.
01:05:56You of all people know that.
01:05:58And you of all people can change the way things are.
01:06:02I would have thought you've seen enough broken hearts in this castle.
01:06:19Emily?
01:06:20I've been looking all over for you.
01:06:23What's wrong?
01:06:25I think I've had my fill of the royal treatment.
01:06:28Is this about Natasha?
01:06:30You know she means nothing to me.
01:06:32Except for the fact that she's perfect for you, Leo.
01:06:35No, she's not.
01:06:36But she's perfect for my mother.
01:06:38I got this staff fired.
01:06:40What?
01:06:41I got them fired.
01:06:42Look.
01:06:43She would fire the whole of Parliament if it meant you would leave.
01:06:47I'll fix everything.
01:06:48I promise.
01:06:52Come here.
01:06:56There's, um, something I've wanted to ask you all night.
01:07:02In fact, pretty much since we met.
01:07:06Now, this isn't exactly how I planned it, but...
01:07:15This ring has been in our family for centuries.
01:07:21And now, it belongs on you.
01:07:24Marry me.
01:07:28I would love nothing more if it were just...
01:07:33Leo and Emily, but it isn't just us anymore.
01:07:38Leo, your mom was right.
01:07:40I don't belong here.
01:07:41Not upstairs or downstairs.
01:07:45I'm not a princess, and I'm never going to be.
01:07:48That's not true.
01:07:50Yes, and we were so happy.
01:07:51We were so happy at home.
01:07:52But here, I...
01:07:53I just feel like I have to be someone that I'm not.
01:07:57And...
01:07:57The truth is, I don't want to be anyone else.
01:08:00I'm not ashamed of my people.
01:08:02I'm proud of them.
01:08:03And I can't lose who I am to fit into a place that I don't belong.
01:08:09You belong with me, okay?
01:08:12Wherever that is.
01:08:13We can go back to Philly.
01:08:14I'll renounce my title.
01:08:16If I have to choose between being Prince Leopold and being with you, I choose you.
01:08:21Every time.
01:08:23I can't let you do that.
01:08:26I can't let you give up everything that your family has built for you.
01:08:36Your future is here.
01:08:38It's not with me.
01:08:55Nice knowing you guys.
01:09:01I speak for the entire staff.
01:09:04And for those who are no longer part of the staff, when I say that it has been a true
01:09:08pleasure to serve you.
01:09:12Thank you, Victor.
01:09:14For everything.
01:09:18I'm so sorry again for what happened.
01:09:21It's okay.
01:09:23Don't worry, Emily.
01:09:43You don't have to do this, Emily.
01:09:47This will always...
01:09:49Always be the best year of my life.
01:09:52I love you.
01:09:56And I love you.
01:09:58Surely that's enough.
01:10:01In my world, maybe.
01:10:03But...
01:10:05Not in yours.
01:10:07I love you.
01:10:08No.
01:10:12No.
01:10:25No.
01:10:27No.
01:10:27No.
01:10:29No.
01:10:30No.
01:10:33No.
01:10:42Leopold.
01:10:45Well done, Mother.
01:10:47She's gone.
01:10:51Merry Christmas.
01:11:07Another successful ball, you must be pleased.
01:11:14Do I look pleased?
01:11:16I was being polite.
01:11:20That girl has affected everyone here.
01:11:23And then some.
01:11:25And yet she's managed to stay true to herself.
01:11:30Which is more than I can say about me.
01:11:33I'd like to disagree.
01:11:35But I can't.
01:11:39You've known me a long time, Victor.
01:11:42Some may say too long.
01:11:46I fear I've made a terrible mistake.
01:11:49I don't believe I've ever heard you say that.
01:11:51And you never will again.
01:11:56I hope it's not too late.
01:11:59It's never too late when love is involved.
01:12:21Leo, you look positively miserable.
01:12:24Come, let's go for a ride together.
01:12:25It always cheers you up.
01:12:26No, thanks.
01:12:29That's not like you.
01:12:31And what am I like?
01:12:33You're...
01:12:33I don't know.
01:12:35Who you've always been.
01:12:37I'm a prince.
01:12:39And you're a duchess.
01:12:41But those are just titles.
01:12:43It's not who we are.
01:12:46I want to be more than a title to someone.
01:12:49And you should too.
01:12:53Time heals all wounds.
01:12:58I don't suppose there's a chance for us.
01:13:00After a suitable guest period.
01:13:03Seriously?
01:13:05I thought not.
01:13:08You know, did get a New Year's invite from the Count of York,
01:13:12who I hear has quite a good-looking son.
01:13:14He does.
01:13:16Unfortunately, he's nine.
01:13:18That is unfortunate.
01:13:23I have to say that, despite my behaviour,
01:13:27I was quite impressed with Emily.
01:13:31Yes, well,
01:13:33if I ever see her again,
01:13:35I'll be sure to mention it.
01:13:39I am sorry.
01:13:42Your Royal Highness, the Queen wishes a word, Lydia.
01:13:45What word would that be, Victor?
01:13:47That's not for me to say.
01:13:49But it would be nice if sorry was amongst them.
01:14:12Assumed you're just throwing that away by now.
01:14:17Did you know that Ben Franklin invented the lightning rod?
01:14:21And the swim fins, I'm told.
01:14:25Do you have a seat, Leopold?
01:14:28Please.
01:14:36Before I met your father,
01:14:39I fell in love with the commoner.
01:14:44He couldn't have been more unsuitable.
01:14:46But I didn't care.
01:14:48We understood each other.
01:14:51And he called me Izzy.
01:14:55To my parents' horror,
01:14:56we wanted to marry.
01:14:59Sometimes I wish we had.
01:15:02But then I would have you,
01:15:04and you are my greatest accomplishment.
01:15:09Your father was a good man.
01:15:11We were happy in our own way,
01:15:13but we never laughed together.
01:15:16We never had what you and Emily have together.
01:15:20And what happened to him?
01:15:23The commoner?
01:15:27He did what he was supposed to do,
01:15:29as did I.
01:15:30He went into service,
01:15:32and I became the queen.
01:15:36Leo,
01:15:38I want so much for you.
01:15:41More than anything,
01:15:42I want you to be happy.
01:15:47What are these two doing here?
01:15:50I rehired them.
01:15:51In fact,
01:15:52I gave them each a promotion.
01:15:56You're to someone,
01:15:57lady, majesty.
01:15:58Quince?
01:15:59Yes, ma'am.
01:16:01Your tea,
01:16:02your majesty.
01:16:05Well done.
01:16:07Well,
01:16:07I think an oil painting is in order.
01:16:10You approve them.
01:16:12Well,
01:16:13the day is young.
01:16:14Not as young as we both like, though.
01:16:16So true.
01:16:22Victor,
01:16:25I'd like you to make a royal announcement.
01:16:27Prince Leopold
01:16:29is in love.
01:16:31Not with the Duchess,
01:16:33but with a clothes designer.
01:16:35Yeah.
01:16:38And I give them my blessing.
01:16:42I love you, Mom.
01:16:47I love you, too, Leo.
01:16:53Victor,
01:16:54fuel up the jet.
01:16:55I've already taken the lips.
01:16:57I'll pack it back.
01:16:59As it happens,
01:16:59you're already packed.
01:17:08It's been a long time
01:17:10since he called me, Mom.
01:17:13And there you were,
01:17:14afraid of losing him.
01:17:15I can't remember
01:17:16a better holiday.
01:17:20I remember one.
01:17:22A long time ago.
01:17:26So do I.
01:17:29Will there be anything else,
01:17:30Your Majesty?
01:17:34Just one more thing, Victor.
01:17:37Call me Izzy.
01:18:04Dad, don't.
01:18:05Just leave it up.
01:18:08Sorry, Katie.
01:18:09Who this morning was the one?
01:18:10Me, too.
01:18:12Me, too.
01:18:13Look at the bright side.
01:18:15You have more time
01:18:15to your clothing designs again.
01:18:17Shh.
01:18:17Yeah, and the world awaits.
01:18:22Emily.
01:18:24Huh?
01:18:24Huh?
01:18:35Leo.
01:18:37Leo.
01:18:39What are you doing here?
01:18:42I asked you in the castle,
01:18:43and you said no.
01:18:46So I thought I'd give it a shot here.
01:18:49The place we first met.
01:18:51We do come from different worlds.
01:18:55But that doesn't matter.
01:18:56Because we found each other.
01:18:59And the only titles I care about
01:19:01are you and I as husband and wife.
01:19:05So I'm asking you again.
01:19:08This time,
01:19:09as Leo from Philly
01:19:12and Leopold from Cordenia.
01:19:14Me.
01:19:18Emily Taylor.
01:19:21Will you marry me?
01:19:26You have no idea how much I want to say yes.
01:19:30But Leo, your mother would never...
01:19:32Say yes, Emily.
01:19:39Your majesty.
01:19:42I am so sorry, Emily.
01:19:44I just hope you can forgive me.
01:19:46I was so wrong about you.
01:19:47I've been wrong about a few things.
01:19:49Just a few.
01:19:52I have a dress
01:19:53that needs alternation.
01:19:57I saved it for the woman
01:19:58that would marry my son.
01:20:01I truly hope
01:20:03that it will be you.
01:20:10As your Ben Franklin would say,
01:20:13I think you could bring
01:20:14some much-needed electricity
01:20:15into the realm.
01:20:21So,
01:20:22you need me to ask you a third time.
01:20:26Do you mind
01:20:27I forgot to press the record button
01:20:28the last time?
01:20:29Oh, God.
01:20:32I would like to hear it, Leopold.
01:20:36All right.
01:20:38Emily Taylor.
01:20:40Will you...
01:20:40Yes!
01:20:41Yes!
01:20:48Mel.
01:20:56So, come on, everybody.
01:20:57Let's celebrate!
01:20:59Celebrate!
01:22:29This is like a fairy tale.
01:22:30It's better.
01:22:34It's real.
01:23:04It's a Gordonian Christmas, man.
01:23:05It's a miracle.
01:23:35It's a romantic rags-to-riches comedy.
01:23:38Who can resist a handsome Prince Charming?
01:23:40Crown for Christmas is next as the countdown to Christmas continues.
01:23:45And I'll see you a little later.
