00:00:28X-Men
00:00:56X-Men
00:01:00X-Men
00:01:01X-Men
00:01:02X-Men
00:01:11Would you raise your chin if so?
00:01:17Could I possibly get a touch-up?
00:01:25Sir, I've drafted an article for the media.
00:01:29Clear, please.
00:01:32After some intros, it reads,
00:01:34the royal houses of the monarchy of Vostieri
00:01:38and the kingdom of Androbia
00:01:40announce the merging of their royal lines
00:01:44with the engagement of the crown princess
00:01:46Coralina Eugenia of Vostieri
00:01:49to crown prince Desmond Carlisle.
00:01:51Both houses hope this joyous occasion
00:01:54will forge a path towards reunification,
00:01:57thus easing centuries-old tensions
00:01:59regarding the ownership of the Alcinian province.
00:02:03Yes, that's fine, although we should perhaps include something about the date,
00:02:06say that the wedding takes place in two months.
00:02:07Oh, and perhaps a cheerful mention of the historical
00:02:11and beautiful castle Eloris, the location of the Naptuels.
00:02:14Both prized suggestions.
00:02:16Princess Coralina, perhaps you could move your hand into his arms
00:02:20so that we can see the Elora Alexandrite.
00:02:23Quite. May I?
00:02:26Here we go.
00:02:30Perfect.
00:02:32I believe we have it.
00:02:53Everything all right there, Lippon?
00:02:54Never better, sir.
00:02:55Merely attending to something that was crying out to be done.
00:02:58You seem a little upset by this turn of events.
00:03:00I find this deeply offensive for two reasons, sir.
00:03:04Firstly, it is a breach of protocol of the highest order.
00:03:06And secondly, if royalty cannot be expected to hold their commitments,
00:03:10what example does that set for the rest of us?
00:03:12But here I am, not attending to your heartbreak
00:03:16after such treacherous perfidy.
00:03:18How you must feel having a fiancée so callously break off your engagement
00:03:23by eloping with a plumber.
00:03:26You must be devastated.
00:03:28As devastated as one can be about someone they've only met
00:03:31two and a half times, I suppose.
00:03:32How can one meet someone half a time?
00:03:34Oh, there was a video call that kept freezing.
00:03:36Very awkward.
00:03:37Oh.
00:03:42Do try to keep in mind, Edwin,
00:03:44that this marriage was purely a diplomatic union
00:03:46to shore up political relations between the two countries.
00:03:49It was arranged by her grandfathers long before we were even born.
00:03:52I do worry, though,
00:03:53without the merger of the two houses
00:03:55where this territorial dispute might lead.
00:03:57Still, at least she returned the ring promptly.
00:04:00Please make sure that gets back to the royal vault.
00:04:02Of course, sir.
00:04:03Your parents are expecting you at breakfast.
00:04:05Be warned.
00:04:07Your father is not taking this as calmly as you, sir.
00:04:12Betrayal!
00:04:14Utter betrayal!
00:04:15This is an outright provocation!
00:04:17I hardly think it's up there
00:04:18with the killing of Archduke Franz Ferdinand, father.
00:04:21Sorry, darling.
00:04:22Who's been killed?
00:04:24Oh, Austrian fellow, Mama of World War I.
00:04:26Oh.
00:04:27If things get worse,
00:04:29I'm sure the Vostieres could blame us for that, too.
00:04:31Although one might wonder
00:04:33how much this is political
00:04:34and how much this is personal.
00:04:38Moncarr,
00:04:39were you not once friends with King Winston?
00:04:41Well, that was when we were schoolboys.
00:04:44Which seems entirely beside the point.
00:04:47His daughter
00:04:48has pushed us
00:04:50to the very brink.
00:04:51Father,
00:04:52it's eight o'clock in the morning.
00:04:53I entreat you to find
00:04:54a diplomatic solution to this
00:04:56and
00:04:57try to think of a plan B.
00:05:18Princess Coralina's elopement was most untimely.
00:05:22I'm not sure what we're going to do now.
00:05:25It's just too bad
00:05:26that our Royal Air Force
00:05:27consists of two helicopters
00:05:29and the private jet.
00:05:30We won't be going to war, Edwin,
00:05:32if I can help it.
00:05:35There has to be a better solution.
00:05:41Didn't Princess Coralina
00:05:42have a younger sister?
00:05:44I believe so,
00:05:45Your Highness.
00:05:47Yes,
00:05:47I recall now.
00:05:49Princess Beatrix.
00:05:50She dropped out of sight
00:05:51after some public blowback
00:05:53to a picture in the press.
00:05:54Oh, yes.
00:05:55Yeah,
00:05:55I remember that picture, actually.
00:05:57If you scroll down,
00:05:58you'll notice
00:05:58there's a great deal of commentary
00:05:59on her appearance.
00:06:00You shouldn't laugh.
00:06:01The poor child
00:06:01was absolutely crucified.
00:06:02No wonder she disappeared.
00:06:03It was 20 years ago now.
00:06:09Do you want me to track her down, sir?
00:06:12Arrangements for a royal wedding
00:06:13back underway.
00:06:16Do you know,
00:06:17I can't think of a better solution.
00:06:18You'll be asking her
00:06:19to make a great sacrifice.
00:06:21I know.
00:06:23Not as big a sacrifice
00:06:24as we would be asking
00:06:25our subjects to make
00:06:25if our fathers can't put aside
00:06:27centuries of grievances.
00:06:30Do it.
00:06:35Let's just hope
00:06:35she's not secretly dating
00:06:36the palace electrician.
00:06:41I'm hideous.
00:06:42Don't come in.
00:06:43I'm sure it's not that bad.
00:06:45Oh, trust me.
00:06:46It's an absolute disaster.
00:06:49I'm using my key.
00:06:51Big meeting today.
00:06:53We are so gonna land it.
00:06:55Oh, man.
00:06:56It smells awful in here.
00:06:57What happened?
00:06:58Why is it so dark?
00:07:00We need some light
00:07:01in this situation.
00:07:03Ah!
00:07:11Honey.
00:07:13I am really sorry
00:07:15that this is happening.
00:07:18But I gave you
00:07:20the entire weekend
00:07:21to be a puddle.
00:07:22I even gave you
00:07:23my emergency breakup kit.
00:07:24It was an emergency.
00:07:26It was a breakup.
00:07:27It's in the name.
00:07:29I mean,
00:07:30Jared dumped me
00:07:31by text.
00:07:33Ugh.
00:07:35For a reality show
00:07:37influencer.
00:07:39Well, I know.
00:07:41And he's
00:07:42a really big jerk
00:07:44and has no idea
00:07:45what he lost.
00:07:46Well, what do we tell
00:07:47our girls?
00:07:48We are women of substance.
00:07:49And we overcome
00:07:50substantial challenges.
00:07:52Good girl.
00:07:53Now, I know this is
00:07:54bad timing,
00:07:55but we have that
00:07:55final presentation
00:07:56to the Brahmin League
00:07:57this morning.
00:07:58And you know
00:07:58that this investment
00:07:59can secure our program
00:08:00for the next two years.
00:08:01I know.
00:08:02Yeah.
00:08:02Where's your phone?
00:08:03I need to double-check
00:08:03the address.
00:08:04Oh, I don't exactly
00:08:06know where it is.
00:08:07I was afraid
00:08:07I'd misery dial Jared,
00:08:09so probably between
00:08:09the pint of ice cream
00:08:10and the two boxes
00:08:11of Milk Duds.
00:08:12Okay.
00:08:13Calling it.
00:08:22Oh, now I remember.
00:08:27Here.
00:08:29Uh, you have
00:08:31two dozen missed calls
00:08:32from the same number.
00:08:32Is it Jared?
00:08:33Realizing he made
00:08:34a terrible mistake?
00:08:35No.
00:08:35Uh, it is
00:08:38plus 56.
00:08:38That's a foreign prefix.
00:08:40You don't suppose
00:08:41there's a prince
00:08:41who needs your help
00:08:42getting millions of dollars
00:08:43out of the country, right?
00:08:46Anyway,
00:08:47we should get you
00:08:47into the shower
00:08:48because we don't want
00:08:49the villagers to come
00:08:50with the pitchforks
00:08:51and the torches.
00:08:51Well, it's Boston.
00:08:52There's no villagers.
00:08:53We have Bruins fans.
00:08:54Oh, same thing.
00:08:55Less forgiving.
00:09:02Uh, it's that same
00:09:04number calling.
00:09:05Do you want me to get it?
00:09:05I love messing with scammers.
00:09:07Oh, uh, no, you're good.
00:09:09Um, do you want
00:09:09to make us some coffees?
00:09:10Yeah, sure.
00:09:11Okay.
00:09:15Hello?
00:09:21Who was it?
00:09:23Uh, you called it.
00:09:25Nigerian prince wants my help.
00:09:26But he works in Bitcoin now.
00:09:29Ha, fancy.
00:09:31I'll call us an Uber.
00:09:35How long?
00:09:36Uh, it says it should be here.
00:09:38Oh.
00:09:38Oh, there.
00:09:39Okay.
00:09:43Uh, is that guy watching us
00:09:46through binoculars?
00:09:48Uh, is this another birdwatcher?
00:09:52Yeah.
00:09:54Burning is very hip right now.
00:10:07The Allied STEM Foundation for Young Women
00:10:10not only provides vital education
00:10:12and mentoring in STEM coursework
00:10:14for underserved girls,
00:10:15but we also teach leadership skills
00:10:17through workshops
00:10:18such as emotional intelligence,
00:10:20communication styles,
00:10:21and conflict resolution.
00:10:22This generous grant
00:10:24from the Brahmin League
00:10:25would be so beneficial.
00:10:26You wouldn't just be making
00:10:27a difference in the lives
00:10:28of these young women.
00:10:30You'd be investing
00:10:31in the future.
00:10:38I couldn't tell if Mrs. Standish
00:10:40loved or hated us.
00:10:41She was as expressive
00:10:43as dried concrete.
00:10:44You know, she reminded me
00:10:44of my paternal grandmother.
00:10:46She always did this thing
00:10:46where she...
00:10:47Don't look,
00:10:48but I think that same guy
00:10:51is across the park.
00:10:53Which guy?
00:10:53I told you not to look.
00:10:55Chloe, out of curiosity,
00:10:56how many true crime documentaries
00:10:57did you watch this weekend?
00:10:59Maybe half of one
00:11:00while I was doing laundry.
00:11:01Okay, three.
00:11:03But I swear that guy
00:11:05followed us here.
00:11:07Okay, well, let's, um,
00:11:09let's just turn the corner.
00:11:10Good plan.
00:11:12Hmm.
00:11:14I'll send a simple
00:11:15handwritten thank you note
00:11:16and leave it at that.
00:11:17Ooh, breaking out the stationary.
00:11:18I like it.
00:11:19Very classy.
00:11:20Well, we just don't want her
00:11:21to think we're desperate.
00:11:22Aren't we desperate, though?
00:11:23No.
00:11:24We'll get it in a couple of months
00:11:25and we'll be desperate adjacent.
00:11:27Ha!
00:11:37Uh, I know you think
00:11:39I'm being paranoid,
00:11:40but there is a black van
00:11:42following us.
00:11:43No, no, don't turn around.
00:11:45Jeez, you would be
00:11:45the worst spy ever.
00:11:47Um, well,
00:11:48I'm sure there's no reason
00:11:49to panic just yet.
00:11:53Uh, why don't we
00:11:54cut through here?
00:11:55We are definitely
00:11:56being followed.
00:11:57I should have really, really,
00:11:58paid those parking tickets.
00:12:01Oh, wait.
00:12:02It went past.
00:12:03Okay, we're good.
00:12:04We'll just, uh,
00:12:04cross the street up here
00:12:05and cut through the park
00:12:06to the office.
00:12:07Okay.
00:12:08Mom!
00:12:09My mom was right.
00:12:10I moved to the big city
00:12:11and now we're gonna end up
00:12:12on a date line.
00:12:13Okay, we'll just go
00:12:13the other way.
00:12:14Okay.
00:12:16This is real.
00:12:17We're gonna get kidnapped
00:12:18or murdered.
00:12:19We're kidnapped
00:12:19and murdered.
00:12:21Okay.
00:12:23I think I'm the one they want.
00:12:24You'll be fine.
00:12:25Just stay back.
00:12:26You will not get through
00:12:27to my friend
00:12:28unless you go through me first.
00:12:30Hi-ya!
00:12:49Wait, what is happening?
00:12:51It's okay.
00:12:52I just need to go with them.
00:12:56Well, I'm not letting you
00:12:57get kidnapped without me.
00:12:59I'll take the next left.
00:13:01B, what's going on?
00:13:03Uh, I'm not exactly sure.
00:13:05Votreltesse,
00:13:06je vous assure,
00:13:07ce n'est pas un enlèvement.
00:13:08Je comprends merci.
00:13:09Okay, that.
00:13:11Since when do you speak French?
00:13:12Okay, there are some details
00:13:13I never told you
00:13:14about me and my family.
00:13:17You said your family was boring.
00:13:18Wait.
00:13:20Are they in the mafia?
00:13:22Have you been lying to me?
00:13:23No, they're not in the mafia
00:13:24and no, I haven't lied to you.
00:13:26And yes, my family is boring,
00:13:28just in a very specific way.
00:13:30Like my mother, she's...
00:13:31You said she's a housewife
00:13:33who does volunteer work.
00:13:34Which is true.
00:13:34It's just that her house
00:13:36is kind of a palace
00:13:37and she's kind of
00:13:39the queen there.
00:13:41Okay, so your mom is fancy
00:13:42and you guys have a big house.
00:13:45No, it's really a palace.
00:13:46Palace.
00:13:47But you said your dad
00:13:48was a government administrator.
00:13:49Right.
00:13:50It's just that my father
00:13:52is also
00:13:54the king
00:13:55of Vastieri.
00:13:57Which is technically
00:13:58an administrative position.
00:14:00So you're not B. Halstead.
00:14:02No, no, I still am
00:14:03your best friend
00:14:04from sophomore year.
00:14:05It's just
00:14:05my full name is
00:14:07Beatrix Ileana Halston
00:14:09Von Lenmore or Jaune.
00:14:11That some people
00:14:12refer to me as
00:14:14Princess Beatrix.
00:14:15That makes me
00:14:16the bestie
00:14:17of Princess Beatrix
00:14:19of...
00:14:20How do you pronounce
00:14:21your country's name again?
00:14:31Oh, thank you.
00:14:33Are you sure
00:14:34you're a princess though?
00:14:36Because we like boxed wine.
00:14:38Also, we go to that
00:14:38discount pedicure place.
00:14:40So you don't sound
00:14:41like a princess.
00:14:42I took a year
00:14:42of intense diction classes
00:14:44to master your accent.
00:14:45Accent?
00:14:46I don't have an accent.
00:14:49Do I?
00:14:53Votre Altesse,
00:14:54could you stay here
00:14:55s'il vous plaît?
00:15:01Wow.
00:15:02Do you think this is
00:15:02one of those kidnappings
00:15:03where we can get room service?
00:15:04We haven't actually
00:15:05been kidnapped.
00:15:06Oh, but when I tell the story
00:15:08and I will tell the story,
00:15:09there will be kidnapping
00:15:09involved.
00:15:15Your Highness,
00:15:16I don't think he's
00:15:17the one you say that to.
00:15:18We're all Highness.
00:15:19It is my honor
00:15:20to introduce to you
00:15:21Prince Desmond,
00:15:22the Crown Prince
00:15:23of Androvian.
00:15:24Seriously?
00:15:28Wow.
00:15:29Your Royal Highness,
00:15:33it is a great honor
00:15:34to make your acquaintance.
00:15:37Certainly.
00:15:38The pleasure is all ours,
00:15:39Your Majesty.
00:15:41May we present
00:15:42our companion,
00:15:43Miss Chloe Hargraves.
00:15:44Miss Hargraves,
00:15:45an honor to make
00:15:46your acquaintance as well.
00:15:47Likewise, I'm sure
00:15:48Your Gracious Majesty,
00:15:49Sire Royal of the Ball.
00:15:50That's not a thing.
00:15:50Okay, I panicked.
00:15:51We've been trying
00:15:52throughout the weekend,
00:15:53Princess,
00:15:53to make contact with you
00:15:54through phone calls
00:15:55and email.
00:15:56We were inconvenient
00:15:57as of the weekend
00:15:58and not accepting
00:16:00correspondence.
00:16:00Understood.
00:16:01Well, then perhaps
00:16:02we might confirm
00:16:03more privately now.
00:16:06Prince Desmond,
00:16:07Um, since we are outnumbered
00:16:10and at a political disadvantage,
00:16:12we would insist that our friend
00:16:14bear witness to
00:16:14whatever conversation
00:16:16shall ensue.
00:16:17Very well.
00:16:19Since the dissolution
00:16:21of a united Vestrovia
00:16:22some 300 years ago,
00:16:24there has been
00:16:24an ongoing dispute
00:16:25regarding rightful ownership
00:16:27of the Alcinian province
00:16:28and the castle Elora.
00:16:29It is our hope
00:16:31that Her Highness
00:16:32is aware of elevated tensions
00:16:33between Androvia
00:16:34and Vostieri
00:16:35on this matter.
00:16:36Is it the intention
00:16:37of His Highness
00:16:38to educate us
00:16:39on the history
00:16:41and situation
00:16:42in our own homeland?
00:16:43Well, given that
00:16:44Her Highness
00:16:45has been absent
00:16:45from her royal duties
00:16:46for some 20 years,
00:16:48one was not to presume
00:16:49anything about
00:16:49what sort of connection
00:16:50she may or may not have
00:16:52with Vostieri.
00:16:53As a matter of fact,
00:16:54we are fully aware
00:16:54of the Crown Prince's
00:16:55failed engagement
00:16:56to our sister,
00:16:57Coralina.
00:16:58May we offer
00:16:58our belated congratulations
00:17:00and condolences.
00:17:01How very kind
00:17:02of you, Highness.
00:17:03Although perhaps
00:17:03that failure
00:17:04is a matter best discussed
00:17:05with one's own sister.
00:17:07And when doing so,
00:17:08please do extend
00:17:08our heartiest congratulations
00:17:10on her recent nuptials
00:17:11to a plumber,
00:17:12I believe.
00:17:13Indeed.
00:17:14It will be so lovely
00:17:15having a member
00:17:15of the royal family
00:17:16who actually has
00:17:17a useful skill.
00:17:18But I doubt
00:17:19His Majesty
00:17:19came all this way
00:17:20to discuss
00:17:20failed engagements.
00:17:22We can't help
00:17:23but wonder
00:17:23if there is perhaps
00:17:24a point
00:17:25to this meeting.
00:17:26Indeed there is.
00:17:27In fact,
00:17:27the entire point
00:17:28of the aforementioned
00:17:29failed engagement
00:17:31was to form an alliance
00:17:32through marriage
00:17:33between the ruling houses
00:17:34of Duvalier
00:17:35and Vostieri
00:17:36in the hopes
00:17:36that we might form
00:17:37a legitimate path
00:17:38towards a reunited
00:17:39Vestrovia
00:17:40and thus prevent
00:17:41further escalation
00:17:42of tensions.
00:17:43Understood.
00:17:43But since that plan
00:17:44did not come to fruition,
00:17:46we are loath to consider
00:17:46what alternative
00:17:47might be proposed.
00:17:49Interesting choice
00:17:50of verbiage.
00:17:55What do...
00:17:59perhaps in the light
00:18:01of the state
00:18:01of this meeting
00:18:02His Highness
00:18:04may prefer
00:18:05not to proceed?
00:18:07His Highness
00:18:08has very little choice.
00:18:21Since Princess Coralina
00:18:22was required
00:18:23to abdicate
00:18:24her claim to the throne
00:18:25by marrying a commoner,
00:18:27it would seem
00:18:27that you are now
00:18:28Crown Princess
00:18:29and as Crown Prince
00:18:31of Androvia.
00:18:32It is my great honor
00:18:34to most graciously
00:18:35seek your hand
00:18:36in marriage.
00:19:03So that happened.
00:19:05Okay, what is with all the accents?
00:19:06I've known you for 20 years.
00:19:08Have you been pretending
00:19:08this whole time?
00:19:09Who's the real you?
00:19:11This is Bea,
00:19:12your best friend
00:19:13since college.
00:19:15This is Princess
00:19:17Beatrix
00:19:18Illiana
00:19:18Halston von Lindbergh
00:19:19of Jard
00:19:20of Vostieri.
00:19:21And I suppose
00:19:23this is me,
00:19:25Beatrix,
00:19:26who is also
00:19:28in a bit of a pickle.
00:19:29It must be exhausting
00:19:30to be all of those people.
00:19:31Just be you.
00:19:33Thank goodness.
00:19:34Besides,
00:19:35I don't think
00:19:35you're in a pickle.
00:19:36Friday,
00:19:37your boyfriend
00:19:37dumps you by text
00:19:38and then Monday,
00:19:39another guy
00:19:40flies 2,000 miles
00:19:41to propose to you
00:19:42and not just
00:19:43any other guy.
00:19:44A Crown Prince
00:19:45proposed to you.
00:19:46Best rebound ever.
00:19:48And you turn him down cold.
00:19:49You truly are a girl boss.
00:19:54Ugh, Androvians.
00:19:54They're so pushy
00:19:55and arrogant.
00:19:56I bet it was
00:19:57his grandfather
00:19:57who came up
00:19:58with the age-old solution
00:19:59of intermarriage
00:19:59in the first place.
00:20:00Is that really
00:20:01the only option?
00:20:02My sister says
00:20:03there's a summit
00:20:03between our two kingdoms
00:20:04in a few days,
00:20:05so surely my father
00:20:06will come up
00:20:06with a better solution
00:20:07than marrying me off
00:20:09to some polo-playing prince.
00:20:10Is there a chance
00:20:11that maybe you're judging him
00:20:13a little bit harshly?
00:20:19Look at this.
00:20:21Okay, there he is
00:20:23looking princely
00:20:24and wait,
00:20:25is that your sister?
00:20:26She's so pretty, right?
00:20:28Yeah, I've only heard
00:20:29that my whole childhood.
00:20:30Your sister's so pretty.
00:20:32Touched a nerve, did we?
00:20:33Sorry.
00:20:34But that's not the photo
00:20:36I'm talking about.
00:20:37It's, um,
00:20:38it's this one.
00:20:40This one
00:20:41and this one
00:20:41and this one.
00:20:43Okay, I don't think
00:20:44I've actually ever seen
00:20:45anyone playing polo before.
00:20:47Do you remember in college
00:20:48when we vowed
00:20:49never to date a golf bro?
00:20:51Ugh, golf.
00:20:51Well, polo bros,
00:20:52they're like a hundred
00:20:53times worse.
00:20:54I'm sure he's the type
00:20:56who never shuts up about it.
00:20:57He looks pretty cute
00:20:58on a horse, though.
00:21:01Oh, the Vostiaries,
00:21:02they're all so pushy
00:21:03and arrogant.
00:21:04One might have thought
00:21:05that the princess
00:21:06would have been
00:21:07much more appreciative
00:21:08given all the trouble
00:21:09you've gone to.
00:21:10I mean, haven't I kept
00:21:11a low profile?
00:21:11Indeed, just the private jet.
00:21:13Skeletal staff.
00:21:14Of twelve?
00:21:15I've taken all the trouble
00:21:16to come here
00:21:16completely incognito
00:21:18and meet this rogue princess
00:21:19to offer her the only way
00:21:21that I can see
00:21:22out of a dire situation,
00:21:23only to be informed
00:21:24that she is inconvenienced.
00:21:25In my opinion, sir,
00:21:27when she said
00:21:27she must politely decline,
00:21:29I didn't think
00:21:30she was being that polite.
00:21:37Then again, sir,
00:21:39it seems your father
00:21:40has agreed to a summit
00:21:41meeting with King Winston.
00:21:42Perhaps clearer heads
00:21:44will prevail at last.
00:21:45One can only hope, Edwin.
00:22:24One can only hope, Edwin.
00:22:36It's been ages
00:22:37since I've seen you in person.
00:22:39And yet somehow,
00:22:40not long enough.
00:22:42You're looking so much older.
00:22:45Some of us are comfortable
00:22:46in our own skin.
00:22:48Speaking of your skin,
00:22:49I'm sure Lupinia
00:22:50would love the name
00:22:51of your plastic surgeon.
00:22:53Your highnesses,
00:22:55may I suggest we start
00:22:56with an official photograph?
00:22:58Happy to.
00:22:59Certainly.
00:23:04Might I suggest as well
00:23:06shaking of hands?
00:23:13Why, Winston,
00:23:14your handshake feels
00:23:16just as weak
00:23:17as when we were boys
00:23:18in boarding school.
00:23:19Would you say
00:23:20as weak as your economic recovery?
00:23:22Or as weak
00:23:23as your foreign policy?
00:23:25Certainly.
00:23:25Nothing could be as weak
00:23:26as your central bank.
00:23:30That bad, huh?
00:23:32I told Papa
00:23:33not to let King Richmond
00:23:35push his buttons.
00:23:37Papa said,
00:23:38he's not a machine.
00:23:39He doesn't have buttons.
00:23:41It's never been great
00:23:42with metaphors.
00:23:43We are quite a literal people.
00:23:45Well, since the summit
00:23:46was a failure,
00:23:47that does leave you
00:23:48in a rather delicate position,
00:23:51Monchou.
00:23:52If you were to reconsider
00:23:53and accept the prince's proposal,
00:23:55it might help settle things.
00:23:57Just until there could be
00:23:59a diplomatic solution.
00:24:00I realize I have no room
00:24:02to tell you what to do.
00:24:03And I'm so sorry
00:24:04I didn't give you
00:24:05any warning
00:24:06before my elopement,
00:24:07but it was sudden
00:24:09and crazy
00:24:10and perhaps
00:24:11the first
00:24:12unpremeditated
00:24:13selfish thing
00:24:14I've ever done.
00:24:15Are you having regrets?
00:24:16Are you kidding?
00:24:19This is the happiest
00:24:20I've been
00:24:21in my entire life.
00:24:23Je suis très content pour toi.
00:24:25I won't begrudge you that.
00:24:26I'm not thrilled
00:24:27by the change
00:24:28of my situation,
00:24:29but you've allowed me
00:24:30to live a very private life
00:24:31for a very long time.
00:24:33I suppose
00:24:33I could reconsider
00:24:35and accept his proposal,
00:24:38but only in the hopes
00:24:39that we can come
00:24:39to a better solution.
00:24:40You are being
00:24:41most gracious
00:24:42about all of this.
00:24:44I just want you to know
00:24:45it's not lost on me,
00:24:47Frangine.
00:24:48I appreciate that.
00:24:51Somebody got croissants
00:24:52from Monica!
00:24:54Um, I've got to go,
00:24:56but please give my love
00:24:57to mommy and papa,
00:24:58okay?
00:25:00When you used to say
00:25:01that your sister
00:25:01was a princess,
00:25:02I thought she was
00:25:03just spoiled,
00:25:04but now that I know
00:25:04she's an actual princess,
00:25:06it's kind of weird.
00:25:07Things are definitely weird
00:25:08and the summit,
00:25:09not a success.
00:25:10So does that mean
00:25:11you're reconsidering
00:25:12the engagement?
00:25:12I think I have to.
00:25:14Come on,
00:25:14what do we tell our girls?
00:25:16Once we decide
00:25:16what needs to be done,
00:25:17we do it.
00:25:20Cheers.
00:25:40everybody's watching,
00:25:47everybody's watching,
00:25:54Greetings, Your Highness.
00:25:56Prince Desmond is momentarily detained.
00:25:58I see.
00:25:59Are we sure this isn't one of those things where I'm to be kept waiting as a subtle power play?
00:26:04Honestly, Your Highness, do you read this much into every interaction?
00:26:08Only ones this fraught.
00:26:09How refreshingly blunt you are.
00:26:11And how craftily ironic you are.
00:26:13Yeah, I don't know if this is an attempt to intimidate me or charm me.
00:26:17It is my attempt to cut through the royal double talk.
00:26:20If it's charm you're looking for, you have the wrong sister.
00:26:25Welcome.
00:26:28Would Your Highness care to join us?
00:26:30Uh, are we meeting in your bedroom?
00:26:34Oh, goodness, no.
00:26:36We thought we might have supper on the balcony with Your Highness.
00:26:40Indeed.
00:26:41But in the interest of direct communication, may we please stop speaking in the royal we?
00:26:49Yes, we can.
00:26:52I mean, yes, you and I can.
00:26:56Please.
00:27:11Um, thank you.
00:27:20Oh, no, wait.
00:27:21Sorry, I'm confused.
00:27:23I was told that you had reconsidered my proposal.
00:27:26Well, yes.
00:27:27In light of the failure of the recent summit, I find myself so inclined.
00:27:30Okay.
00:27:31It's just, you surprised me.
00:27:34Um, I thought we'd go out on a date.
00:27:37I think we're a little bit beyond dating territory, aren't we?
00:27:40Yes, but just something a little more romantic.
00:27:46Ah.
00:27:53Candles.
00:27:54The moonlight.
00:27:56Those little flowers.
00:27:58Well, this was romantic.
00:28:01Hmm.
00:28:02It's fine.
00:28:02Princess, I may be naive when it comes to affairs of the heart, but I do know enough to know
00:28:06that when a woman says something is fine, then it doesn't mean it's good.
00:28:10I did put some thought into this.
00:28:12Yes, your waitstaffed is a lovely job.
00:28:15Now, why does that sound like a slight?
00:28:16I don't want to argue.
00:28:17It was definitely a slight.
00:28:18I just thought we could go out to a restaurant, that's all.
00:28:20A restaurant?
00:28:22I'm sorry, I'm just having trouble even picturing what that would look like.
00:28:27I suppose we could ask Edwin to put together a security detail.
00:28:30Could we, um, discuss this privately?
00:28:34By all means.
00:28:37Ah.
00:28:38Would you mind giving us a few moments?
00:28:46I'm sorry, I'm just attended on so often I forget that they're even there.
00:28:51Let's run out for pizza.
00:28:52I'm sorry, Princess, I don't think you understood.
00:28:54I'm saying that we can't do that without security.
00:28:56No, I don't think you understand.
00:28:58Where does that door go?
00:28:59Um, according to the security briefing, to some service elevator, I think.
00:29:03So?
00:29:04Let's run out for pizza!
00:29:06Really?
00:29:07Could we really do that?
00:29:09Look, in Boston, I'm a nobody.
00:29:11At least until we announce our engagement.
00:29:13And I don't think anyone's up to date with princes from small European monarchies.
00:29:17Well, I have featured on some quite prominent eligible bachelor lists.
00:29:20If we scruff you up a bit, we might look like just a normal couple out for a date.
00:29:28It's just I've never really done anything like that before.
00:29:32Well, tonight might be our last chance.
00:29:47The princess and I are at a very delicate and tense stage of diplomatic negotiations.
00:29:53We'd very much like to be left alone.
00:29:55Indeed, sir.
00:29:57Alone, Edwin.
00:30:06Remember, if anyone asks, you're a PhD student.
00:30:08Why can't I just be a local Bostonian?
00:30:10Well, first, because they're called townies, and second, because you don't have sweats.
00:30:13I'll remind you that the purpose of this trip was to propose to a princess.
00:30:17I didn't think sweats would be appropriate.
00:30:18So you have sweats?
00:30:19No.
00:30:20Well, at least you know what those are, so that's encouraging.
00:30:22Oh, may I?
00:30:26There.
00:30:27Do I look like an astronomy student?
00:30:30Look at you with the backstory.
00:30:32Astronomer.
00:30:33I like it.
00:30:34Personal interest?
00:30:35I dabble.
00:30:36All right.
00:30:37Now whenever, I suppose.
00:30:38Exactly.
00:30:49Take a breath.
00:30:50We're sneaking out for pizza, not nuclear secrets.
00:30:55Where are we going, anyway?
00:30:57This place, Chloe and I used to go in grad school.
00:31:00The pizza is so greasy, but it's so good, and the beer is cold.
00:31:03Oh, you like beer, right?
00:31:04Oh, yeah.
00:31:04I'll have you know that we have some excellent breweries in Antrovia, so yes, I do drink beer.
00:31:08How sheltered do you think I am?
00:31:10Two, please.
00:31:11Oh.
00:31:12Hmm.
00:31:13Cool hat.
00:31:17That looks good on you.
00:31:22Yes?
00:31:24Oh, yeah, I suppose I have to pay for this.
00:31:26Yes.
00:31:27Um, one second.
00:31:29I, uh, the thing is, I don't actually have any money.
00:31:32I've never really carried a wallet before.
00:31:34And that's exactly how sheltered I think you are.
00:31:37Don't worry, tonight's on me.
00:31:39Well, in that case, we'll take this as well.
00:31:51That's all right.
00:31:52Thanks.
00:31:53So you're going off the tether?
00:31:59Hmm.
00:32:00You know, I've never been allowed to make foolish mistakes or youthful indiscretions.
00:32:04My whole life's been so meticulously planned.
00:32:07Given my, um, polo playing, it's all orchestrated.
00:32:10Polo?
00:32:11But I've seen the pictures.
00:32:12No, it's an annual photo shoot against a green screen.
00:32:15In fact, I've fallen off so many horses that I'm expressly forbidden in the interest of protecting the royal lineage
00:32:20from being on horseback.
00:32:22But I thought Androbians were supposed to be legendary polo players.
00:32:26Legendary polo players.
00:32:29What's wrong?
00:32:31Nothing's wrong.
00:32:33You were right.
00:32:34This is absolutely fantastic.
00:32:42Oh, it's called bowling.
00:32:45Do you want to try it?
00:32:46Bowling, you say?
00:32:49Yeah.
00:32:50Let's give it a go.
00:32:51Okay.
00:32:56Come on, come on, come on, come on.
00:32:58Whoa.
00:32:59Whoa.
00:33:00That was good, right?
00:33:01It's been a while.
00:33:02Okay, your turn.
00:33:07Uh, you might want to step back a little bit.
00:33:11Back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back.
00:33:13Okay.
00:33:14And remember what I told you.
00:33:15So you pull the ball up, wind the back, take a few steps, and release.
00:33:31Are you kidding?
00:33:32That was great.
00:33:34Don't leave me hanging.
00:33:35Oh yeah, that thing you do.
00:33:43Excuse me, when you knock all the things down, is that what you do?
00:33:46That you do that little dance?
00:33:48I mean, you know, it doesn't happen all the time, but when it does, you gotta celebrate.
00:33:51Mm-hmm.
00:33:52Huh.
00:33:56Okay.
00:34:03Hey!
00:34:04Oh, gun!
00:34:07Don't leave me hanging.
00:34:10Am I picking up date night vibes?
00:34:13I know that look.
00:34:14I know that look.
00:34:15Hey baby, come on, let's buy them around.
00:34:17Oh, we just came back from our honeymoon ourselves, so stay right there.
00:34:26I've missed Drake in.
00:34:27You jerk.
00:34:29You've been messing with me this whole time.
00:34:31You assumed that I didn't know what bowling was.
00:34:33You didn't say you were good at it.
00:34:34I didn't say that I wasn't, but you think that I'm hopeless and sheltered.
00:34:38I'd say this one's on you.
00:34:39Okay, maybe I had that coming.
00:34:41I don't get it.
00:34:42You don't play polo, but you're this bowling champ.
00:34:45That's completely true.
00:34:47Yes, when mechanized bowling was first invented, it became something of a sensation in Androvia.
00:34:52And my great-grandfather, who insisted that we be modern in all things, he built a two-lane alley in
00:34:57the basement of the palace.
00:34:59I discovered it when I was in my early teens.
00:35:02When my royal duties became just too much to bear, that alley, he became a refuge for me.
00:35:10Well, considering how good you are, you must have spent a lot of time there.
00:35:14You're not the only one who had a difficult time adjusting.
00:35:18Here we go.
00:35:20Ah, here we go.
00:35:26Guys, do you have a car, or should we drop you off someplace?
00:35:29Oh, that's so nice of you, but I think that's our Uber just pulling around now.
00:35:32Oh, well, it was really fun meeting you guys.
00:35:34I hope we can get together again.
00:35:36We've been trying to make more couple friends.
00:35:38We could have couple friends.
00:35:40Well, you guys have our contacts, so let's try to keep in touch.
00:35:43All right.
00:35:45That's my wife.
00:35:46Don't mind her, she's a hugger.
00:35:48Okay, bye.
00:35:49Great to meet you.
00:35:51It was great to meet you both.
00:35:53Bye.
00:35:55This is just the night that I needed.
00:35:58I have to admit it, I can't remember the last time I had this much fun.
00:36:02Oh.
00:36:07Androvian Crown Prince unaccounted for.
00:36:09Kidnapping not ruled out, claims personal assistant.
00:36:14I think we're in trouble.
00:36:17Where have you been, sir?
00:36:19I have been worried, sick, and entertaining the most dire possibilities.
00:36:22Such as what, Edmund?
00:36:24Kidnapping attempt?
00:36:25No, in fact, we just went out for a little pizza.
00:36:28Pizza can be delivered.
00:36:31This is quite unlike you, sir.
00:36:33I'm so sorry.
00:36:34This is my fault.
00:36:35No, it isn't.
00:36:35I went of my own free will.
00:36:38And for your information, I had rather a fantastic time.
00:36:41Well, that seems entirely beside the point.
00:36:44Well, I'll inform the king and queen that you have not been abducted, as feared.
00:36:49Now, it would seem that the best way to defuse this escalation intention
00:36:54would be to announce your engagement as soon as possible.
00:36:58So, Princess Beatrice, you will be back here at 9 a.m. sharp for your official photo.
00:37:02I have a meeting.
00:37:03Your Highness, I realize this must all feel like a terrible inconvenience for you.
00:37:08But you were almost in the middle of an international incident this evening.
00:37:11Through no fault of her own.
00:37:13Be that as it may, we need to push things along here for the people of both your countries.
00:37:21Thank you, Your Highnesses.
00:37:24We'll send a car in the morning.
00:37:26We'll send a car in the morning.
00:37:26We'll send a car in the morning.
00:37:28We'll send a car in the morning.
00:37:29We'll send a car in the morning.
00:37:32We'll send a car in the morning.
00:37:33Oh, that's ghastly, darling.
00:37:36My Sheree, you can't wear any of those.
00:37:38They'll think he's marrying an American.
00:37:40Seeing your wardrobe is making me feel quite sad, like we haven't supported you.
00:37:45Well, that was the whole point.
00:37:46I wanted to support myself.
00:37:48And I didn't mean to make you sad.
00:37:50This is supposed to be good news.
00:37:51Of course I'm pleased.
00:37:54You're doing your country a great service.
00:37:56And personally...
00:37:58I'm thrilled to have my baby closer to home.
00:38:00But I just hate to think...
00:38:02Hate to think what?
00:38:03I know how hard-won your privacy has been.
00:38:06I fear we're letting you down.
00:38:09Making sacrifices for the greater good is what we do, Mama.
00:38:13You married for part 20.
00:38:14What was that like?
00:38:15I'll admit.
00:38:16It was quite an adjustment.
00:38:18But then again, I was raised for this sort of thing.
00:38:21You, my Sheree, you're educated and accomplished, but...
00:38:24I fear you're unprepared.
00:38:27Well, you've supported everything I've ever done, so that's the best preparation I could ever hope for.
00:38:31Perhaps.
00:38:32Then again...
00:38:33We've prepared Coralina.
00:38:34And look how that turned out.
00:38:38Oh, well, I hate to cut this short, but I think my car's going to arrive any minute.
00:38:41Give my love to Papa.
00:38:42Of course.
00:38:44Okay.
00:38:44Bisou, bisou.
00:38:53Right.
00:38:54Well, you won't be needing whatever's in there.
00:38:57Follow me.
00:38:58Follow me.
00:39:04Bye.
00:39:08Bye.
00:39:11Bye.
00:39:13Bye.
00:39:33How are we progressing?
00:39:35I just worry that all of this...
00:39:38It's not me.
00:39:39Well, Your Highness, if I may,
00:39:41you have not been you for over two decades.
00:39:43Now, by that I mean Princess Beatrix of Faustieri.
00:39:47Now, she's in there somewhere,
00:39:49and we mean to find her, no matter how long it takes.
00:39:52Now, everyone, let's get this done.
00:40:30Your Highnesses, can you get closer together, please?
00:40:37Can you switch sides, please?
00:40:44Could we see the Allura and Alexandrite, please?
00:41:04Oh, wow. Oh, hello. Hi. Excuse me. Excuse me. Get out of the way.
00:41:10I think they're finally leaving.
00:41:12I'm so glad you're here. It's been chaos.
00:41:15I know. It's crazy, right?
00:41:17I kinda just missed that one guy with binoculars.
00:41:21Anyway, have you checked your work email?
00:41:22Suddenly, the Brahmin League can't wait to be in business with us.
00:41:26And you have invitations to a bunch of galas.
00:41:29Well, don't tell my mother. She'll send gowns.
00:41:31Ooh. You think she'll send me one?
00:41:33If only we could take advantage,
00:41:34but unfortunately there's bigger issues brewing at home.
00:41:37Now that I know that this is in your home, I've been doing some research.
00:41:42Your foreign minister has been stoking quite a bit of nationalistic fervor,
00:41:45which seems ironic considering the fact that the Androvians and Vostieres used to be one big country originally.
00:41:53So it's sort of like the Capulets and the Montagues or Ewing and Barnes.
00:41:58But if they were one big country originally, then why did they separate?
00:42:01Well, it was 300 years ago. The king died without a clear heir.
00:42:04Two families laid claim to the throne and it created this big mess which eventually divided the countries.
00:42:09So now, in order to calm the rhetoric, Desmond and I have to turn on the charm offensive.
00:42:17His jet leaves for Androvia tomorrow night.
00:42:19So, clear your schedule and pack your bags.
00:42:23You want me to come with you?
00:42:24No.
00:42:26I need you to come with me.
00:42:28I feel like things are about to get very weird.
00:42:30I need someone I can trust in my corner.
00:42:32And I can't think of anyone else I'd rather have as my maid of honor.
00:42:36Seriously? I'd be so honored!
00:42:40Yay!
00:42:41I'm showing up for the trip in a scarf and big Jackie O sunglasses.
00:42:46Okay.
00:42:56Oh.
00:42:57Ah.
00:42:57Hi.
00:42:58Miss Hargraves.
00:43:00With a pleasure.
00:43:01I heard you were joining us.
00:43:03I sure am.
00:43:04It's hard to imagine flying without putting my shoes in a tub first.
00:43:07Indeed.
00:43:09Hello, Edwin.
00:43:10Your Highness.
00:43:11Ah.
00:43:12This will not do.
00:43:13This you might find a little more appropriate.
00:43:15Oh.
00:43:16That looks a bit much for travel.
00:43:18And the Androvian jet awaits us.
00:43:20Do you think it's as posh as we see in magazines?
00:43:22I love free food.
00:43:24We have all amenities on board.
00:43:25Food service, chilled champagne and in-flight TV.
00:43:28In fact, His Highness has asked if we screen his favorite film this evening.
00:43:32The Big Lebowski.
00:43:34Oh.
00:43:34That tracks.
00:43:37The dude abides.
00:43:40Indeed he does.
00:43:47Give us your best, My Highness.
00:43:49And high tail for the van.
00:43:51Come on.
00:43:52Yes.
00:43:53Very good.
00:43:54Very good.
00:43:55Very good.
00:43:58Oh.
00:43:59Hello.
00:44:00Hi.
00:44:02Cargraves.
00:44:02Hi.
00:44:03Hi.
00:44:03Hi.
00:44:04Hi.
00:44:04Hi.
00:44:05Hi.
00:44:08Hi.
00:44:09Hi.
00:44:10Hi.
00:44:11How to do it!
00:44:32Cool!
00:44:39Your Majesty's…
00:44:41Might I present my fiancée, Princess Beatrix, Ileana, Holston, Von Lindemore, O'Jard, of Ostieri.
00:44:50And princess, might I introduce the royal family of Androvia, my father, King Richmond, and my mother, Queen Lupinia.
00:44:58It's a pleasure to make your acquaintances.
00:45:00You're quite a bit taller than the other one.
00:45:03Yes, Your Majesty. My apologies for that.
00:45:09Hmm.
00:45:17Oh, that's quite alright. You don't need to unpack for me.
00:45:24Okay, please proceed.
00:45:31You know, there is a nice lady unpacking my underwear into a lavender-scented tissue paper drawer.
00:45:37I thought we were only staying one night?
00:45:38Well, we're supposed to do a tour of Castle Allure tomorrow.
00:45:40Oh.
00:45:42Oh.
00:45:43Oh.
00:45:43Oh, okay.
00:45:45Your Highness.
00:45:47Miss Hargraves.
00:45:49In an effort to win over Androvians, we planned a photo op for an hour from now.
00:46:22It will be very simple.
00:46:23No tabloid photographers there.
00:46:25No tabloid photographers there.
00:46:25You will wear these, and this will be the gown you're wearing.
00:46:30That looks a tad long.
00:46:33There won't be time for a proper hem.
00:46:35We'll get a seamstress to pop in a couple of stitches and hope for the best.
00:46:38All right.
00:46:43Whoa.
00:46:44He's like Cinderella's fairy godmother.
00:46:47If she didn't like Cinderella in the least.
00:46:49Hmmm.
00:46:53Hmm.
00:47:21It's like being 13 all over again.
00:47:24Except this time, I'm a meme that will last forever.
00:47:27Hey, what do we tell our girls?
00:47:31You are the author of your own story.
00:47:34Don't let others control your narrative.
00:47:36Oh, I'm sorry.
00:47:39I'm jet-lagged, and I didn't expect tagging along with royalty to be so tiring.
00:47:44Also, that bit in there is calling my name.
00:47:46Did you know those sheets are hand-stitched by Italian nuns who are selected for their tiny hands?
00:47:52I looked it up.
00:47:54Okay, you go get some sleep.
00:47:55And remember, we'll laugh about this in the morning.
00:47:57Well, I hope so.
00:47:59Bye.
00:47:59Night-night.
00:48:36Hmm, all you know was wondered.
00:48:37Turn up or reflect on the weather.
00:48:38Can't I?
00:48:41Turns out orでは,と思うのでいいんだろう.
00:48:41та жен。
00:48:43Pull into my mouth thoughts.
00:48:46Ž armies how to respond to other新 fruits.
00:48:50Can I help you something, lass?
00:48:51Just, we're not supposed to have visitors this late in the kitchen.
00:48:55Oh, sorry to bother.
00:48:56I couldn't sleep and I thought maybe a cup of chamomile tea might help.
00:48:59Ah, you must be the American friend of the princess.
00:49:01You could have just rung down for it.
00:49:03Actually, I'm the princess friend of the American.
00:49:08Oh, I didn't recognise you, your highness.
00:49:11Well, you must have missed today's latest internet story.
00:49:14Don't worry about those photos.
00:49:16Come on.
00:49:18Oh, you're in luck.
00:49:19Kettle's still hot.
00:49:26You know, when I married my Humphrey, I didn't eat for days.
00:49:30And by the time the priests were giving us our vows, I faint dead away.
00:49:34Full garter over gums right off the altar.
00:49:37Humphrey couldn't find the top half of me for all the tulle.
00:49:41But by the time reception were in full swing, even I were laughing at it.
00:49:45And I think it's good for the people to see that royals are human too.
00:49:50If anyone's asking my opinion.
00:49:53Oh, sorry.
00:49:57How can I help you, your highness?
00:50:00Straight away, your highness.
00:50:02Kettle's just boiled.
00:50:05Would you allow me to take it?
00:50:07We can't have a princess going about like a kitchen maid.
00:50:10Oh, no one will mind.
00:50:11And I am his fiancée after all.
00:50:15Well, against me better judgment, I don't suppose it could hurt.
00:50:22Enter.
00:50:30You can just set my tea on the side table then.
00:50:34By all means, your highness.
00:50:37What do you do in my bedroom?
00:50:39What?
00:50:39So it's okay for your kitchen maid to see you in your pyjamas, but not your own fiancée?
00:50:43No, it's just, you startled me.
00:50:45I wasn't expecting you.
00:50:47Why are you delivering my tea?
00:50:49Well, I too couldn't sleep, so I impose myself on your kitchen staff.
00:50:54Ah.
00:50:55And you managed to make it up the stairs all right without falling over?
00:51:01Why couldn't you sleep?
00:51:03I'm just trying to take my mind off the lurking suspicion that responsibility for de-escalating
00:51:08this situation seems to have fallen entirely on our shoulders.
00:51:12I know.
00:51:13Well, there's a book I can give you called Economies of Conflict, which might explain why.
00:51:18I've read that book.
00:51:20Yeah, I thought it was quite good.
00:51:22You didn't tell me why you were not sleeping.
00:51:24I'm making a mess of things.
00:51:26No, you're not.
00:51:27This is how it's always been for me.
00:51:29Always a little...
00:51:31off.
00:51:32I'm trying to be better.
00:51:35Less how I am, naturally.
00:51:37I wish you wouldn't.
00:51:39I like you just how you are.
00:51:42You should teach a class on authenticity at Princess School.
00:51:45You laugh, but that is part of the leadership program at my foundation.
00:51:49Yes, I heard about that.
00:51:50Girls in STEM, isn't it?
00:51:52Mm-hmm.
00:51:53Tell me about it.
00:51:54Okay, Your Highness.
00:51:57But...
00:52:00Just remember, you asked.
00:52:03Consider, if you will, the messages we send our children.
00:52:07Throughout history, only half the population has ever been invited to adventure, explore,
00:52:12and engage in the world.
00:52:14Half the time actively creating issues in their wake.
00:52:17You mean men like our grandfathers?
00:52:19Precisely.
00:52:21Now consider the stories we tell our girls.
00:52:25It's usually some put-upon princess forced to marry a dull prince.
00:52:29I'm not sure how I feel about that description.
00:52:33My point is...
00:52:35The story usually ends at her marriage, never to be spoken of again.
00:52:41But what if the princess was prepared to think not just about her advantageous marriage,
00:52:46but the problems facing her society and their possible solutions?
00:52:51Princess being metaphorical in our case, of course.
00:52:53In Chloe's case.
00:52:54Yes.
00:52:56So we opened it up to any girl who had the mind for it.
00:53:00We gave them the opportunity, the access, the tools,
00:53:03so we can reframe the narrative for the future.
00:53:06Interesting.
00:53:07Right?
00:53:08Wait, which part?
00:53:10The part where you, an actual princess,
00:53:13are forced to marry a prince.
00:53:15Because that's what princesses do when they're faced with problems in their societies.
00:53:20Except, um...
00:53:21This prince isn't very dull.
00:53:43Ready for this?
00:53:44Yep.
00:53:46Yep.
00:53:48Yep.
00:53:50Yep.
00:54:03Yep.
00:54:05Yep.
00:54:06Yep.
00:54:08Yep.

00:56:38right
00:56:56what a surprise it was upon hearing about
00:56:59your early arrival here i'm sure you know what it's like to suddenly crave the fresh air of
00:57:04the mountains especially since your capital is a seaport and does smell so of fish unlike your
00:57:10capital which smells of old cheese and disappointment at your majesties may we invite you to proceed to the
00:57:18the shrine
00:57:18you assume
00:57:23The prince desmond's any comment on your second engagement in two months
00:57:27p sp inspiration
00:57:29i need to say that i'm entirely delighted by the circumstances that have brought princess beatrix and i together
00:57:34And, Princess Beatrix, any comments on the fact that your approval ratings in Androvia have gone up 73%?
00:57:41Has it?
00:57:44I'm afraid things have been quite topsy-turvy lately, so I wasn't aware.
00:57:49Your Highness.
00:57:56Princess! Princess!
00:57:59Princess!
00:58:00Princess Coralina, are you at all disappointed that you're sacrificing
00:58:03becoming queen by marrying a commoner?
00:58:05Well, real love is never a sacrifice.
00:58:18Uh, excuse me, are you a member of one of the families?
00:58:21No, I'm Chloe. I'm the best friend of the bride.
00:58:23Brother of...
00:58:25Miss Hargraves, at risk of appearing chivalrous, might I escort you inside?
00:58:31Will this start a rumour that we're dating?
00:58:34Perish the thought.
00:58:45Did you hear him?
00:58:47The nerve, implying that simply because our beautiful capital is also a seaport,
00:58:53that it smells like fish.
00:58:56Absurd.
00:58:57Of course, dear.
00:58:59But then again, you don't stray that far from the palace.
00:59:03But I get out and about with my charity work at times, and I dare say the docks on the
00:59:08far side of the harbour, well,
00:59:10they do have a certain aromatic quality.
00:59:15Oh, darling.
00:59:17Do try the brie.
00:59:21It's...
00:59:21Exquisite.
00:59:23Mm-hmm.
00:59:25Ah.
00:59:27Fosterian cheese.
00:59:30Some of the best in the world.
00:59:33Mm-hmm.
00:59:34Look at him down there.
00:59:35So smug.
00:59:37Cheese and disappointment.
00:59:39He's the one who'd know what disappointment smells like.
00:59:42Darling, with all your fretting, you're letting your ceviche get cold.
00:59:46Ceviche is always cold, Mama.
00:59:49You're right.
00:59:50Which one do I mean?
00:59:51Oh, I don't know offhand, but you really must try it.
00:59:53It's quite delicious.
00:59:55I do hope after the wedding, we'll get more Androvian seafood.
01:00:02How are you adjusting to your return to public life?
01:00:06Now, perhaps I can relate on a small level.
01:00:08What is this?
01:00:09Until I married your sister, unless water was spraying from a faucet, no one cared what I did.
01:00:16I must say, it's been quite disorienting.
01:00:18I'm not used to being fussed over.
01:00:20It's all this poking and prodding and focus on my appearance, which takes on getting used to.
01:00:25Perhaps I can sympathize.
01:00:26I have found it a little unsettling for myself also.
01:00:30Mm-hmm.
01:00:31The work I do is with my hands, not my face.
01:00:34Why should this matter?
01:00:35Oh, it matters.
01:00:36Right?
01:00:37Right?
01:00:38Right?
01:00:41Right?
01:00:49I suppose that dinner went as well as expected.
01:00:52At least no one threw anything.
01:00:54Small blessings, right?
01:00:56I just hope the wedding goes half as well.
01:00:58It will.
01:01:00Oh, girl.
01:01:02You always beat me at this game.
01:01:04I don't even know why I tried.
01:01:06Here, just take the whole deck.
01:01:07Take the ticket.
01:01:08I am going to go and instastop Cody.
01:01:10See if he has any brothers.
01:01:11Good luck.
01:01:13Nighty-night.
01:01:14Nighty-night.
01:01:15Nighty-night.
01:01:46Nighty-night.
01:01:48Nighty.
01:01:50Nighty.
01:02:22We have to stop these late-night rendezvous,
01:02:24or else people will start to talk and we shall have to get married.
01:02:28Can you imagine?
01:02:32I want to show you something.
01:02:35You know, I don't wish to alarm you,
01:02:38but when I was a boy, I heard a tale that this tower was haunted
01:02:42by my great-great-great-grandmother, Gertrude,
01:02:45who died here rather than surrender it to your lot, the posterioris.
01:02:49Well, I was told the ghost was a distant cousin
01:02:51who died defending it from the Androvians.
01:02:56You don't suppose that perhaps our education was skewed in such a way
01:03:00as to paint in a more favourable light our respective families, do you?
01:03:04What? Are you implying that it wasn't entirely true
01:03:06when I was told the Vossieris basically invented civilisation?
01:03:10Just speculating.
01:03:13Did you hear that?
01:03:15Where are you taking me?
01:03:19You'll see.
01:03:22Yeah, no, but actually what?
01:03:34This is what I wanted to show you.
01:03:39Wow. How did you know about it?
01:03:41Well, for a while as a girl,
01:03:42I would obsess over the schematics of all the castles,
01:03:46certain that I would find a secret passage leading to hidden treasure.
01:03:50Unfortunately, I never thought to look for a hidden bowling alley.
01:03:53Oh.
01:04:02Who knows what we'll see.
01:04:05But you once told me that you wanted to study astronomy.
01:04:10Wait.
01:04:11It's early August.
01:04:14Did you bring me here to see the Poseides?
01:04:16Tonight, the meteor shower is supposed to peak.
01:04:19Brilliant.
01:04:21Brilliant.
01:04:27There's one.
01:04:32Look.
01:04:32There's another one.
01:04:34I can't tell if you're just indulging me or you genuinely get excited every time you see another one.
01:04:39Surely you've seen shooting stars before.
01:04:42Of course I have.
01:04:43It doesn't matter if you've seen a hundred thousand of them.
01:04:47It doesn't mean that each one can't have its own unique beauty.
01:04:55I imagine that's what it's like to be in love.
01:04:59It doesn't matter if you've been with someone for years.
01:05:01Your heart still skips beat every time they walk in the room.
01:05:06Imagine.
01:05:07You make it sound like you've never been in love before.
01:05:10I don't suppose I have.
01:05:14Not really.
01:05:15Of course there was an infatuation or two at university, but...
01:05:20The engagement.
01:05:22I was betrothed to your sister before I even knew what a crush was.
01:05:35I'm actually really sorry that didn't work out.
01:05:39I'm also really sorry you had to settle for the spare.
01:05:43My sister certainly would never trip over her hem.
01:05:47In fact, she's much better suited to all the required pageantry than I am.
01:05:52I can't say I'm disappointed.
01:06:00I also don't think your sister would ever remember some throwaway comment about astronomy.
01:06:05Bring me up on this roof to see this.
01:06:07Yeah.
01:06:14Oh, look at that one.
01:06:39Desmond.
01:06:40Desmond, wake up.
01:06:41There's five more minutes.
01:06:42This is the Mesa sleep I've had for weeks.
01:06:44Knowing Edwin is probably already alerted the authorities have done something nefarious to you.
01:06:48Let's hope nobody's noticed we've gone.
01:06:50Yes, let's hope.
01:06:55Allow me to help you with that.
01:07:06It's stuck.
01:07:08We're trapped up here.
01:07:09What?
01:07:10What are we going to do?
01:07:12Ah.
01:07:13Just kidding.
01:07:14Imagine how awkward that would have been though.
01:07:15Oh, you're evil.
01:07:17My heart stopped.
01:07:24Where have you two been?
01:07:25We've had the entire staff looking for you.
01:07:28Yes, actually, Edwin, the thing about that is that...
01:07:30I'm sorry.
01:07:30It's my fault.
01:07:31Again.
01:07:32Your Highness, you appear to be becoming a bad influence.
01:07:35Edwin, I will remind you that you're speaking to your future queen.
01:07:37Apologies, Your Highness, but your official pre-nuptial luncheon starts in less than three hours.
01:07:43Thus, there is a team of stylists awaiting for you in your quarters.
01:07:46I assumed this wedding was more about politics than presentation.
01:07:50Might I remind Her Highness that presentation is politics.
01:08:08The entire Ancillium province was clearly ceded to Androvia in the Treaty of 1628.
01:08:14That was a treaty that was never ratified.
01:08:17Even within Androvia, that treaty was widely dismissed.
01:08:20Oh.
01:08:21You're an expert on Androvian history now.
01:08:23It's a moot point to even try and bring that up, since the Joint Occupancy Accord agreed to, in 1923,
01:08:31set up a 99-year mutual tenancy which would have superseded it.
01:08:35That was most graciously proposed by my own grandfather.
01:08:39So I think I would know about the Accord of 1923.
01:08:44Then you would also know about the underlying agreement.
01:08:47That upon the Accord's expiration, ownership would revert to Vostieri.
01:08:52Nonsense!
01:08:53There was never an underlying agreement.
01:08:55That is pure fiction.
01:08:57The only fiction going on here is that we're supposed to believe that's your real hair.
01:09:01Or is the real fiction your waistline?
01:09:04How much spandex are you strapped into?
01:09:10That's my girl.
01:09:11Darling!
01:09:12That's not very ladylike.
01:09:14Well, something had to be done, Mother.
01:09:17With all due respect, what was supposed to be a purely ceremonial luncheon has yet again devolved into another failed
01:09:24summit.
01:09:24Now, if you would allow me.
01:09:26I believe I have a way through this.
01:09:29Chloe, we're doing our conflict resolution workshop.
01:09:31Awesome!
01:09:32This seems entirely irregular.
01:09:34Father, please.
01:09:35These outdated treaties that the two of you have been fighting over have done neither of our countries any good
01:09:39at all, have they?
01:09:40Your Majesties have both been given ample opportunity to find a solution and you haven't been able to.
01:09:44So, might I suggest that the Crown Princess has given the opportunity to provide some much-needed fresh perspective?
01:09:50Beatrix, dear, this is really not the appropriate time.
01:09:54Papa, darling, this is what Bea does.
01:09:58If you could all just let her speak, I think you'll find we have a rather gifted diplomat amongst us.
01:10:05You've got this.
01:10:09Can we get a whiteboard in here?
01:10:10I think we can all agree we'd like to resolve this matter and find a permanent solution, not kick it
01:10:15down the road like your grandparents did.
01:10:17Quite right.
01:10:19Excuse me, dear.
01:10:20Which word are we trying to come up with?
01:10:23There's not a right or a wrong word, it's just that you each have to use the letter you have
01:10:27to make A word.
01:10:28In this situation, what would a win look like to you?
01:10:31Not ever having to deal with this problem for the rest of my life.
01:10:34Okay, I'll put that down as a win.
01:10:36Okay, queens, let's do a trust ball.
01:10:38I'd like you to stand in front like this.
01:10:41I'm here for palace.
01:10:43And you're just going to fall back and trust that my mum is going to catch you.
01:10:48K for king.
01:10:50Service.
01:10:52Bird.
01:10:53I'm slightly worried that our liveries might clash.
01:10:56Edwin, please.
01:10:58Ball.
01:11:02Queens.
01:11:06I know you two went to boarding school together.
01:11:08King Richmond.
01:11:09I don't want you to think about it.
01:11:11I want you to just blurt out a word that comes to mind of when you first met my father.
01:11:16I suppose inspiring.
01:11:18I suppose inspiring.
01:11:18Did you say inspiring?
01:11:20First word that came to mind.
01:11:22Why do you think that is?
01:11:23I was 11 years old.
01:11:25I was fairly sheltered and suddenly I was shipped off to a Swiss boarding school which was supposed to make
01:11:33a man out of me.
01:11:34Admittedly.
01:11:35I was terrified.
01:11:37I was terrified.
01:11:38But then I met Winston.
01:11:40He was a year older.
01:11:42He seemed to be the only boy there who could truly understand my position.
01:11:46He inspired me that I could make my way there.
01:11:52Okay.
01:11:53Great word.
01:11:54Inspiring.
01:11:57Father, what word comes to mind of when you first met King Richmond?
01:12:02I suppose comrade.
01:12:06It was awkward with the other boys.
01:12:09Given my royal standing I felt quite isolated.
01:12:12So when Richmond arrived I finally felt like I had a comrade.
01:12:17Someone I could confide in and team up with as it were.
01:12:22We did make quite a team didn't we then?
01:12:25We did indeed.
01:12:26Do you remember the water tower adventure?
01:12:29Do I?
01:12:30I commissioned a painting of that very water tower.
01:12:34It hangs in my personal study.
01:12:36So how did it go from that to this current animosity?
01:12:41When I graduated my father told me I had to put all that behind me and be a true leader.
01:12:46He drilled into me that the Androvians or basically anyone on the other side of any border
01:12:53Can't be trusted.
01:12:56And do you think that mistrust has been a win for either of you?
01:13:08Good evening ladies and gentlemen.
01:13:10I am very pleased and frankly a little surprised to announce that after a private meeting this afternoon
01:13:18King Richmond and King Winston have come to an agreement which would establish a mutual shared occupancy of the Alcinian
01:13:26province overseen by an independent council made up of appointees from both countries.
01:13:31Any questions?
01:13:33Any questions?
01:13:37With our signatures we enact the new treaty.
01:13:43We also announce a new free trade agreements between our two countries which will benefit both economies.
01:13:53And as an added benefit my son is not forced into a marriage of convenience.
01:14:00My daughter does not have to marry a man she barely knows.
01:14:09And with that I return this token of your affection.
01:14:14And I accept this ring and release you from your engagement to me.
01:14:21Excellent. Well.
01:14:23Ah, thank you very much.
01:14:27I suppose we both rather dodged a bullet there didn't we?
01:14:31Absolutely delighted.
01:14:33Yes.
01:14:34Lucky for both of us wasn't it?
01:14:35You're not sure.
01:14:38You're going to be quite so well.
01:14:39We did but we finally got there.
01:14:41Well, it hasn't.
01:14:43It's been a trial.
01:14:44A diplomatic trial.
01:14:45You'll be relieved, I'm sure, to be able to go back to your old life in Boston.
01:14:49Well, you sort of blew my cover there so it's not exactly going to be the same.
01:14:54But having a higher profile is already benefiting Foundation.
01:14:57And all of this has taught me a new meaning of public service.
01:15:00A princess for the people.
01:15:02Sounds like a great story to teach children.
01:15:07I truly hope the next time you give that to someone, it's not out of political expediency, but because you're
01:15:14really in love.
01:15:17We hope for the best.
01:15:26Princess Beatrix, I foster you.
01:15:33It has been our pleasure to have met you.
01:15:39We feel it has been an honor.
01:15:58Princess Beatrix is one of the best CHILD兒's dad.
01:15:59The only CHILD's dad only gives use of him to assist and kill him.
01:15:59Princess Beatrix is one of his important units of family.
01:16:06Since that matter, Princess Beatrix Store is one of one of my masters.
01:16:14fantastic news we got the grant and it's for more than what we asked for
01:16:18this should fund us for the next five years
01:16:21me?
01:16:23yeah good
01:16:24it's good
01:16:29if we got this news back in Boston we'd be jumping up and down right now
01:16:32you're right
01:16:34this is stupid
01:16:36sorry that's great news
01:16:37except here I am just staring at my hand
01:16:41is there something wrong with it?
01:16:43okay fine I didn't even like the ring anyway
01:16:46it was too big and gaudy and totally not my style
01:16:50and yet your hand sort of looks empty without it now
01:16:54and that's stupid right?
01:16:56no it's not stupid
01:16:59especially because this isn't about the ring is it?
01:17:03I've only known him a couple of weeks
01:17:06what I'm feeling can't be real right?
01:17:08honey it doesn't matter if it's a few weeks or months or years
01:17:11if it's real it's real
01:17:13did you tell him how you feel?
01:17:15no
01:17:17he seemed relieved
01:17:18so I acted relieved

01:20:29I see you.
01:20:45What's wrong? We're out of gas!
01:20:59Oh no. I've definitely missed him by now.
01:21:02Hey, we don't know that. You might still be able to catch him.
01:21:05You should go. You'll be okay?
01:21:07Yeah, yeah, go! Go!
01:21:10You go, girl!
01:21:49What are you doing? Where's your security thing, Ted?
01:21:51I gave them the slip like you taught me.
01:21:53Oh, God. I need to invest in some sweats.
01:21:56These are not the right shoes for this.
01:21:58What are you doing here?
01:22:03Those things I said last night.
01:22:05Last night?
01:22:06Look, I said that we dodged a bullet.
01:22:09But the truth is, I don't particularly want to dodge that bullet.
01:22:12You don't?
01:22:13No. And perhaps this is crazy.
01:22:15Like your father said, we hardly know each other.
01:22:17But I've never felt this way before.
01:22:19I'm completely in love with you.
01:22:23I feel the same way.
01:22:26I think we'll still have it.
01:22:28What are you doing?
01:22:34I'm asking this not because I'm the prince and you're the princess and it's our duty.
01:22:40But because I, Desmond, I'm truly in love with you, Beatrix.
01:22:45Will you marry me?
01:22:48I will marry you for exactly that reason.
01:22:51Will you marry him?
01:22:54Do it.
01:23:09Absolutely.
01:23:10Will you marry me?
01:23:19You're the prince.
01:23:34You know, you could change your shirt this season.
01:23:38No way.
01:23:39This is my favorite shirt.
01:23:40Even if I take this off.
01:23:41The Bruins will lose.
01:23:43You know that, right?
01:23:44Yeah.
01:23:46Hey, what's this fancy looking envelope?
01:23:50Wait.
01:23:51Are these airline tickets?
01:23:53First class.
01:23:54Is this a joke?
01:23:55Hold on, let me see the card.
01:23:58Wow, there's a note written in it.
01:24:01Dear Rooster and Alice, you did say you wanted a couple friends.
01:24:05What?
01:24:08Shut up!
01:24:10These are our friends from the bowling alley.
01:24:13Are you freaking kidding me?
01:24:17What have we done?
01:24:18What kind of chaos have we unleashed?
01:24:20There's a wedding between two royal families.
01:24:23And everyone's involved.
01:24:24So you can't have expected an intimate affair, just the two of us.
01:24:28Yes, but seating 500 guests.
01:24:29How are we going to do that?
01:24:32And do we really know who all these people are?
01:24:34I mean, this one, for example.
01:24:35Johnny Payne.
01:24:36Ah, yes.
01:24:37The heir to the Glasswick dukedom.
01:24:40He's the son of my uncle Willie.
01:24:42That's on my mother's side.
01:24:43I see.
01:24:44And his plus one is a misprudent Thorpe.
01:24:47But why are they seated at a table with the Americans?
01:24:50Oh, that was quite the scandal.
01:24:51You see, Willie went over to America, had a secret wife and a hidden heir.
01:24:54I see.
01:24:56But shouldn't he be seated with his parents, Willie and Dorothy?
01:24:59He should be seated with his highness's cousin, Henry.
01:25:03Yes, because Henry is going out with an American.
01:25:06Princess Sweet Pea.
01:25:08Princess Sweet Pea, the theme park princess.
01:25:10You know she's not real, right?
01:25:11Apparently she's real enough to be eating lobster at our wedding.
01:25:15Well, if all this goes south, I'll be over there drinking beer with Rooster and Alice.
01:25:19A better idea.
01:25:20Why don't we run out for some pizza?
01:25:22I don't know.
01:25:24But...
01:25:25I don't know.
01:25:25Look at him.
01:25:27Come in in.
01:25:27I'm gonna lie.
01:25:47Come in in.
01:25:48I'm gonna lie.
