00:00:00Oh my god, Henley.
00:00:06Oh god.
00:00:08Oh my god.
00:00:11You're covered in coffee.
00:00:13Yeah, of course.
00:00:14I came as soon as I got Mom's message.
00:00:16What happened?
00:00:17I skipped breakfast and fainted on the track.
00:00:20It's no big deal.
00:00:21You had me so worried.
00:00:23It'd take more than an empty stomach to kill me off.
00:00:26You're right.
00:00:27You know what?
00:00:28Let me go grab you some food.
00:00:30Okay?
00:00:31Can't be happening.
00:00:33I'm afraid it's the situation.
00:00:36Mom?
00:00:37I'm sorry.
00:00:38The doctor has some bad news.
00:00:40What?
00:00:41I'm sorry.
00:00:42Your sister has leukemia.
00:00:44Our insurance has expired.
00:00:47There's no way we can pay for her treatment.
00:00:49Don't worry.
00:00:50I'll figure something out.
00:00:51You just go and eat.
00:00:52Look after Henley for a moment, okay?
00:00:54Okay.
00:00:55Okay?
00:00:58Oh my god.
00:01:01What am I going to do?
00:01:04I'm only on minimum wage.
00:01:06There are other ways to pay.
00:01:09Tell me.
00:01:10Are you single?
00:01:11What?
00:01:12What's that got to do with anything?
00:01:14It might just save your sister's life.
00:01:18A deluxe mail order bride service?
00:01:21Hello?
00:01:22You got your best dress, Harry Douglas.
00:01:23We found you a bidder.
00:01:24You got your best dress, Harry Douglas.
00:01:25We found you a bidder.
00:01:26Hello?
00:01:27You got your best dress, Harry Douglas.
00:01:28We found you a bidder.
00:01:29You got your best dress, Harry Douglas.
00:01:30We found you a bidder.
00:01:32Hello?
00:01:33You got your best dress, Harry Douglas.
00:01:34You got your best dress, Harry Douglas.
00:01:35We found you a bidder.
00:01:37Hello.
00:01:39You got your best dress, Harry Douglas.
00:01:42We found you a bidder.
00:02:07Your Royal Highness, Princess Dima has arrived.
00:02:24Excellent. We can finally confirm our engagement.
00:02:27The thing is, we're not exactly sure where in the castle she is.
00:02:30She was last seen speaking to your cousin.
00:02:32Marcus is here.
00:02:34We'll find him before he starts ending trouble.
00:02:36No need. I know exactly where he'll be.
00:02:49Dima!
00:02:51Edward!
00:02:53I'm sorry, my love. I don't know what came over me.
00:02:56I do.
00:02:58She wanted a taste of the true heir to the throne.
00:03:02Your majesty, please.
00:03:05No.
00:03:14If either of you step foot in this palace again, I will have you both executed for treason.
00:03:24Now get out.
00:03:25Guess there won't be a royal wedding after all.
00:03:31It took years to arrange your marriage to Princess Dima.
00:03:44And now you're throwing our new alliance with Lathina away?
00:03:48I wasn't the one fucking someone else on the throne.
00:03:51You watch your language, boy.
00:03:53She was having sex with cousin Marcus on our seat of power.
00:03:57The one he craves for himself.
00:04:00Surely you can't expect me to still marry her.
00:04:03I'll travel to Lathina and clear up your mess.
00:04:07But there will be a royal wedding.
00:04:10You are to find a new bride worthy of this crown.
00:04:15That's why I should berentah over to her.
00:04:16The one he is going to be crucified.
00:04:17It would be a royal wedding.
00:04:18In the house where he's been here.
00:04:19If you could be a royal wedding.
00:04:20You are to find a royal wedding.
00:04:21I'm going to have aoda with his wife.
00:04:22The two a queen says her.
00:04:23And one he's come to the throne.
00:04:24You're to be the king.
00:04:25And one he's come to the throne.
00:04:26He's the king.
00:04:27He's the king.
00:04:28And one he's come to the throne.
00:04:29Harry Douglas, spread your arms, please.
00:04:49Um, we agreed that our first state wouldn't be physical, but...
00:04:54Is that really necessary?
00:04:58Harry?
00:04:59Your bag, please.
00:05:00You're not my date, are you?
00:05:04I shouldn't have signed up for this.
00:05:05No, I'm sorry.
00:05:06I think I'm just going to go.
00:05:07You know, really, honestly, I can't...
00:05:08Your Highness.
00:05:09Prince Edward.
00:05:19His Royal Highness, Prince Edward Piersman of Australia, that's yourself.
00:05:28Harry Douglas of Queens.
00:05:30Not a bad start.
00:05:32This is a joke, right?
00:05:34I mean, why would a prince need a mail order bride?
00:05:37Have I read your profile?
00:05:39You're smart, beautiful, talented, but you're hiding something.
00:05:45You don't want money, you need it.
00:05:47You don't know anything about me.
00:05:49Precisely.
00:05:50So you're going to change that, or should I just assume that you are a gold digger like
00:05:56all the rest?
00:06:00You have a great day, Your Highness.
00:06:10Back to the airport, sir?
00:06:13No.
00:06:15Follow her.
00:06:22How are you feeling today?
00:06:25Why do people keep treating me like I'm dying?
00:06:28We're just worried about you.
00:06:33What's wrong?
00:06:34I think I'm hallucinating.
00:06:36What?
00:06:37Isn't that Prince Edward?
00:06:39What the hell are you doing here?
00:06:41Ari, you're speaking to literal royalty.
00:06:44It's all right.
00:06:46We bumped into each other as I toured the hospital, and I was a little rude.
00:06:50I apologize, Miss Douglas.
00:06:55Could I have a word outside?
00:07:05You're doing this for your sister?
00:07:06Well done.
00:07:07Gold star for the prince.
00:07:09If you marry me, I will pay for her whole treatment.
00:07:14Anything she needs.
00:07:15Wait.
00:07:16You're serious?
00:07:17Yes.
00:07:18But, if you'll permit me, there is one last thing I must test.
00:07:21What now?
00:07:22What now?
00:07:23What now?
00:07:24What now?
00:07:25What now?
00:07:26What now?
00:07:27I love you, Sam.
00:07:28I love you, Sam.
00:07:29I love you, Sam.
00:07:30I love you, Sam.
00:07:31I love you, Sam.
00:07:36I love you, Sam.
00:07:37I love you, Sam.
00:07:38I love you, Sam.
00:07:39I love you, Sam.
00:07:40I love you, Sam.
00:07:45I love you, Sam.
00:07:46I love you, Sam.
00:07:47I love you, Sam.
00:07:52I love you, Sam, I love you, Sam, I love you, Sam.
00:07:59Australian tradition dictates that you mustn't see each other again until your wedding day.
00:08:09What, so you just kissed me and left?
00:08:10I'm to escort you to Australia as soon as you're done here.
00:08:12But I must gas you to keep the engagement a secret.
00:08:15Why?
00:08:16Every move a royal mech is in the spotlight.
00:08:19And it's just one of the many things you're going to have to get used to.
00:08:21And fast.
00:08:23Your new life starts now.
00:08:37Ma'am, this is Prince Edward's younger brother, Prince Xavier.
00:08:42Oh, hi.
00:08:44Greetings, your royal highness.
00:08:46My God.
00:09:04She didn't even teach you how to curtsy.
00:09:06God, I'm sorry.
00:09:16Although that really was the worst curtsy I think I've ever seen.
00:09:20So you're the famous Harry Douglas I've heard so much about.
00:09:25I'm Edward's younger, funnier, more handsome, more charismatic little brother.
00:09:31Sorry you ended up with the dad, but, um...
00:09:34Hey, we still have time to fall in love.
00:09:37Run away before the wedding.
00:09:40Come with me.
00:09:40Uh, this is our little fixer-upper.
00:09:49Your room's round about the 312th on the left.
00:09:54I imagine you want to settle in and rest, but...
00:09:58Already late for our first appointment.
00:10:32From rags to riches, let's make you a princess.
00:11:01Yes, queen?
00:11:02Yes.
00:11:03Or should I say, yes, future queen?
00:11:05I've never seen myself like this.
00:11:08Now strap those heels.
00:11:19If Edna would find a savage, isn't it obvious?
00:11:23She's a whore.
00:11:25He must have fallen in love with her, almost between her legs.
00:11:29She'll be gone as soon as he gets bored of fucking a present.
00:11:41Go away!
00:11:42So this is true.
00:11:51Who are you?
00:11:53Your predecessor.
00:11:55You have a very pretty face.
00:12:02If you want to keep it that way, leave while you still can.
00:12:07Is that a threat?
00:12:09No.
00:12:10No.
00:12:11It's a warning.
00:12:12Edward is not the man he makes out to be.
00:12:16And trust me, my darling, you weren't the first one to fall for his trap.
00:12:29Harry?
00:12:30Harry, you're not leaving, are you?
00:12:31Harry?
00:12:32Harry?
00:12:33Harry?
00:12:34Harry?
00:12:35Harry?
00:12:36Harry?
00:12:37Harry?
00:12:38Harry, I've been transferred to the best cancer hospital in Manhattan.
00:12:39My treatment's being paid for by some anonymous donor.
00:12:40Harry, I've been transferred to the best cancer hospital in Manhattan.
00:12:53My treatment's being paid for by some anonymous donor.
00:12:55That's great, hen.
00:12:56I feel like I can finally breathe again.
00:12:58Oh, gotta go.
00:12:59Dog's here.
00:13:00Love you.
00:13:01Love you.
00:13:02Harry?
00:13:03Harry?
00:13:04Harry?
00:13:05Harry?
00:13:06Harry?
00:13:07Harry?
00:13:08It's your big day.
00:13:10Okay.
00:13:13Let's get this over with.
00:13:22OK.
00:13:28Okay.
00:13:34Let's get this over with.
00:13:36You look radiant.
00:14:01I'm sorry, it's not the royal wedding you might have expected.
00:14:05My father...
00:14:06I'm just doing this for Henley.
00:14:08Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to join this man and this woman in holy matrimony.
00:14:14Prince Edward, you're about.
00:14:17Ahri, though it was circumstance that brought us together, it is love that will bind us.
00:14:26With this ring, I commit to you my heart, my spirit, and my soul.
00:14:34Let us share our lives until they are well spent, and spend them well, together.
00:14:42Do you, Edward, take this woman to be your lawfully wedded wife?
00:14:46I do.
00:14:47And do you, Ariana, take this man to be your lawfully wedded husband?
00:14:57I do.
00:14:58And I now pronounce you husband and wife.
00:15:03You may kiss the bride.
00:15:06Arrest that man!
00:15:09Arrest that man!
00:15:12What's the meaning of this?
00:15:17You know exactly what you did, you bastard.
00:15:20Explain yourself.
00:15:21Last night, Prince Edward here decided to pay a little visit to my beloved fiancé.
00:15:29What fiancé?
00:15:30Princess Dima.
00:15:31I only went there to retrieve the royal wedding ring.
00:15:41And this is what he did to me when I refused to give it to him.
00:15:44That is a lie!
00:15:45Take him away!
00:15:46You don't believe them, do you, Ahri?
00:15:49Ahri?
00:15:50Ahri?
00:15:51Ahri?
00:15:52Ahri?
00:15:53Ahri!
00:15:54Ahri!
00:15:55Ahri!
00:15:56Ahri!
00:15:57Ahri!
00:16:05Comfortable, cousin?
00:16:07You scoundrel!
00:16:08It was you that put those Brutus on Dima.
00:16:13What do you care?
00:16:15Besides, you've got your American Barbie princess now, anyway.
00:16:18What happened to you?
00:16:21We used to be like brothers.
00:16:23If we were brothers, then there wouldn't be a problem.
00:16:25I'd already have the crown.
00:16:28That's what this is about.
00:16:30Discredit me in order to steal my birthright.
00:16:33It's just as much my birthright as it is yours.
00:16:36My father should have fought for what was rightfully his.
00:16:38He was the younger twin!
00:16:39By what?
00:16:40Twelve minutes, was it?
00:16:42Your father was only given the airship because he was the favourite son.
00:16:45And you are willing to destroy our family over such nonsense.
00:16:52I am.
00:16:54But it doesn't have to go that way, cousin.
00:16:57Simply relinquish your claim to the throne to me and I'll drop the charges.
00:17:02They won't stand anyway.
00:17:03Oh, they will.
00:17:04I have every High Court judge in my back pocket.
00:17:09If you even try and take this to trial, I will ruin you.
00:17:14I will ruin you.
00:17:44You've reached the chickens' hands, but it's all out of hens.
00:17:49Leave a message and I'll clock you back.
00:17:51Okay, dolls-
00:17:52心 and chronicasis, dozens of daughters just attend the civil courts.
00:17:53I need a sweeping process at the Ellinbank Attorney's litigation,
00:17:54and I'll break these pieces up.
00:17:55Go, pick them up.
00:17:56If they're gonna, let's put them up on.
00:17:57How can I play?
00:17:58If they stop?
00:18:08Make them up on a page.
00:18:09Why would my embarrassing point темチャンネル in the dump of man like that?
00:18:11This 차 is always tipping.
00:18:12My father is Elizabeth.
00:18:13I'll supply us quite frankly,
00:18:15I will.
00:18:16If you are right for us.
00:18:18That's going to take some getting used to.
00:18:48It's an honour to finally meet you, Your Majesty.
00:19:02I wish I could say the same.
00:19:05It's good that you're here, though. Sign this.
00:19:10An annulment agreement?
00:19:12Well, I presume your ridiculous marriage has not been consummated yet due to my son's situation.
00:19:18Sign the contract and let's end this foolishness.
00:19:22I can't.
00:19:24You can, and you will.
00:19:27No. Edward promised me that he'd pay for my sister's cancelled tuition, and I can't let her down.
00:19:33Well, if it's just the money you're here for, have it.
00:19:43This feels wrong.
00:19:45Either you sign, or we force you to.
00:19:49Trust me, we still keep some nasty traditions in this palace.
00:19:53You asked me to find a bride worthy of the crown. So I did.
00:20:16The girls are commoner.
00:20:18No, father.
00:20:20She is my wife.
00:20:23I will not let you change that.
00:20:24I'm so sorry for today.
00:20:36I don't want your apologies.
00:20:38I want the truth.
00:20:40Did you hurt Princess Dima?
00:20:46No.
00:20:48My cousin Marcus is trying to smear my reputation.
00:20:51Why should I believe you?
00:20:52Why do you think you're here, Ari?
00:20:57I don't know.
00:20:59I was supposed to marry Princess Dima for political reasons.
00:21:03When she cheated on me, I made a vow to only marry the person that I wanted.
00:21:09And then I found you.
00:21:12We barely know each other.
00:21:13Then give me a chance.
00:21:14I saw how you would go to any length to save your sister.
00:21:20And it resonated with me because...
00:21:23I lost my mother to cancer.
00:21:29Edward.
00:21:30Ari, I fell in love with your humanity.
00:21:35And now I'm asking that you trust in mine.
00:21:39I'm innocent.
00:21:40Edward, you're shaking.
00:22:00I never kissed the bride.
00:22:04It's still our wedding day for another five minutes.
00:22:10I can't wait to tell them that we're married.
00:22:36Mom?
00:22:43Mom?
00:22:45What's wrong?
00:22:50I'm...
00:22:51I'm...
00:22:52I'm innocent of course.
00:22:53so you ran off to get hitched while your sister fights for her life

00:26:32Who the hell were they, Edward?
00:26:34They must have been sent by Marcus.
00:26:37He wants the throne that badly that he'd try and kill his own cousin.
00:26:41He tried to push out your mind.
00:26:43I can't.
00:26:45I can't stop thinking about how close I came to losing you.
00:26:49And I nearly lost you.
00:26:50You would have sacrificed yourself to save me.
00:26:55Why?
00:26:57You know why.
00:27:00Say it, Ari.
00:27:04Say it.
00:27:06Because I love you, Edward.
00:27:12And I can't let you go.
00:27:20I can't.
00:27:37I love you.
00:28:07I'm sorry, did I wake you?
00:28:11Oh, wow. Again?
00:28:14Yeah, well, it was going to take us to breakfast, but we're not allowed to be.
00:28:23Percy.
00:28:25So much for this being a safe room.
00:28:27Sorry, Your Highnesses, but we need to get you back to Australia right away.
00:28:31But I wanted to see Henley first.
00:28:33Yes, and I wanted to get some answers from the assassin.
00:28:35Well, that could be difficult. He's just been murdered in a cell.
00:28:38Someone didn't want him to talk.
00:28:41Marcus.
00:28:41I know it's not the perfect honeymoon, but we used to spend every Christmas at Oakville when I was a boy.
00:28:59It was my mother's favourite place.
00:29:03No wonder. It's beautiful.
00:29:13Can I help you, sir?
00:29:14I'm here to escort Prince Edward and Princess Aria on their honeymoon.
00:29:18Prince Edward is welcome.
00:29:20The lady is not.
00:29:21Excuse me?
00:29:22King's orders, Your Highness.
00:29:25He doesn't recognise her as a member of the royal family.
00:29:28How dare you question my wife's legitimacy?
00:29:35I'll have you discharged.
00:29:37I'll deal with this.
00:29:42Let us through, lad.
00:29:43That's an order.
00:29:44Your order doesn't outtrack the king's.
00:29:47Actually, in matters of security, it does.
00:29:49There's currently a threat on the lives of both the prince and the princess.
00:29:53Do you want their deaths on your conscience?
00:29:55Oh, easy.
00:30:03I'm sorry, my love.
00:30:05This is outrageous.
00:30:06Oh, believe me, this is not my first traffic fight.
00:30:09Let me show you how we resolve things the American way.
00:30:25Well, you've been about as useful as a screen door and a submarine kit.
00:30:30No, I like this better than the palace.
00:30:51It feels more, I don't know.
00:30:55Like home.
00:30:56Yeah, if your home has 23 bathrooms, 30,000 acres and a dozen horses, then sure.
00:31:03Oh, you'll love this.
00:31:07Every Christmas, we used to put a plane for the adults.
00:31:11Aw, will you be the pound?
00:31:12One year.
00:31:14And here is my costume from the Nutcracker.
00:31:18Oh.
00:31:20Oh.
00:31:23Prince Charming.
00:31:27At your service, milady.
00:31:29Oh, my hero.
00:31:30It suits you.
00:31:38Well, maybe our kids will wear these one day.
00:31:41Good practice for the real thing.
00:31:46Ah.
00:31:48Another family tradition.
00:31:50My first kill, in fact.
00:31:52Wait, you killed this stag?
00:31:59Edward, that's horrible.
00:32:01Edward, that's horrible.
00:32:04Well, no, it's heritage.
00:32:07There are mounts here, dating back to the 18th century.
00:32:11Oh, really?
00:32:12And did they use a guillotine to chop off their heads?
00:32:16You're being ridiculous.
00:32:18Me?
00:32:18I find it ridiculous, no barbaric, that you could butcher one of these creatures for sport.
00:32:24No, we don't butcher them.
00:32:26We have the utmost respect for our game.
00:32:29Your game.
00:32:30Your game.
00:32:31If you had respect for your game, you wouldn't call it your game.
00:32:35God, how could it have been so wrong about you?
00:32:38What does that mean?
00:32:40You're just like one of them.
00:32:41A little snob with a big gun.
00:32:44You're judging me because of my class.
00:32:47Yes.
00:32:48Killing things to impress people?
00:32:50It's horrible.
00:32:52Beg your pardon?
00:32:53Not now, Percy.
00:32:53Not now, Percy.
00:32:54Apologies, your highnesses.
00:32:56But I think you're going to want to see this.
00:33:01How are you feeling now, your highness?
00:33:03See for yourself.
00:33:11Edward has to face justice.
00:33:13We can't be ruled by a criminal.
00:33:16The prince is innocent until proven guilty.
00:33:18And he'll have his day in court.
00:33:21There's something else you should know about him.
00:33:24Darling?
00:33:26He called off our wedding so that he could marry an American prostitute named Harry Douglas.
00:33:33How dare they?
00:33:34How dare they?
00:33:36These people are not fit to wear the crown.
00:33:39We'd make a better king and queen than my cousin Edward and his yank, Hoare.
00:33:43A persuasive argument.
00:33:46Let's hope the public disagrees.
00:33:48You've not only brought this family into disrepute, Edward, but the crown itself.
00:33:58You really believe the accusations?
00:34:00Well, they tally with your reckless decision to marry this commoner.
00:34:03I'll give you one last chance to end this farce.
00:34:08Sign the annulment and we'll deny everything to the press.
00:34:11No.
00:34:17Arya is my wife.
00:34:19Now and forever.
00:34:22So be it.
00:34:23Your marriage stands.
00:34:25You honor me, father.
00:34:27I'm not only father to you.
00:34:29I'm father to this nation and I will not have you jeopardize the crown.
00:34:36Xavier, you shall be my successor and the new crown prince of Estria.
00:34:46You can't do that.
00:34:48It goes against convention, but these are unconventional times.
00:34:51No, you can't do that because I don't want it.
00:34:55It's not about what you want.
00:34:57We're at war with your cousin and maybe with Lathina soon too.
00:35:02We need a show of strength.
00:35:04Giving in to Marcus's games?
00:35:06That's a show of strength?
00:35:08It wipes the slate clean.
00:35:11Xavier will be the new face of the monarchy.
00:35:14You'll marry a woman of stature and sire and heir.
00:35:21Are you blind?
00:35:23Or do you just ignore what's right in front of you?
00:35:28What are you talking about now?
00:35:31I won't marry.
00:35:34I won't have an heir.
00:35:36And I won't be king.
00:35:39Because I'm gay.
00:35:42The monarchy is above sexuality, Xavier.
00:35:46It's your crown too tight around the cranium.
00:35:50I'd rather renounce all my titles than continue living this lie.
00:35:54What have I done to deserve these boys?
00:35:57You know, that's a good question.
00:35:59You have two incredible brave sons.
00:36:02But you didn't do anything to deserve them.
00:36:05No, I'm warning you, father.
00:36:06No, honestly, it's okay.
00:36:08I've got this.
00:36:10You think I'm scared of you, Maxwell?
00:36:12I'm not.
00:36:14I'm just so disappointed.
00:36:16You see, I never met my dad.
00:36:18And when we first met,
00:36:19I thought I would finally feel what it's like to have a real father.
00:36:24And now, honestly, I'm...
00:36:25I wish I'd never found out.
00:36:30You say you're father to the nation.
00:36:33You're not even a good father to your own sons.
00:36:52Um.
00:36:55What's this?
00:36:57Oh, that's black pudding.
00:36:59It's, um, made from blood.
00:37:03You don't have to eat it.
00:37:05No, no, no.
00:37:06It's fine.
00:37:06I'll try it.
00:37:09Actually, I wanted to apologize for yesterday about this daggling.
00:37:15After our argument with your dad,
00:37:16I kind of, I realized how different our outbringings were.
00:37:20It wasn't fair to judge you for that.
00:37:22I appreciate that.
00:37:26And, um, what you said to him, too.
00:37:41Morning.
00:37:41The king has arranged for Princess Arie to make her first public appearance.
00:37:48What?
00:37:49He said, and I quote,
00:37:51put that girl on TV.
00:37:53She's got some fire in her belly.
00:37:56She thinks we can beat Marcus by winning over the people.
00:37:59Well, that is great news.
00:38:01He did have one stipulation.
00:38:03You're to return to the palace, ma'am,
00:38:05for lessons in etiquette.
00:38:07And he'll be your personal tutor.
00:38:20Princess Arie Anna.
00:38:22Forgive me.
00:38:30My behavior has been unbecoming.
00:38:34Yeah, I don't really know what that means,
00:38:35but, um, apologies to send it.
00:38:39Estrians respect their kings,
00:38:40but they love their queens.
00:38:42So, we have to work on your decorum.
00:38:46Thankfully, you'll be learning from the best.
00:38:48That's not a very decorum-y thing to say, Your Majesty.
00:38:52The word you're looking for is decorous.
00:38:54And I'm not talking about myself.
00:38:56I'm talking about your mother-in-law.
00:39:04Christmas is a time of joy.
00:39:07Notice her posture.
00:39:08And of her.
00:39:09Her poise.
00:39:10Her streeter.
00:39:11Love and kindness.
00:39:12As though you have an iron rod.
00:39:13Across the strait.
00:39:15To everyone watching.
00:39:16This is your etiquette lesson, not mine.
00:39:18No, repeat after.
00:39:19My husband and I.
00:39:20My husband and I.
00:39:22Would like to wish you a very merry Christmas.
00:39:26Well, you said all the words in the right order.
00:39:31What was she like?
00:39:34A lot like you.
00:39:36She had a very kind way with people.
00:39:39Her charity work was her life.
00:39:41Boys were devastated to lose her.
00:39:45And you?
00:39:48It's never been the same without her.
00:39:59She's an inspiration?
00:40:01Yes.
00:40:02Our next queen has a lot to live up to.
00:40:04Good evening.
00:40:06Good evening.
00:40:10Tonight I'm joined by Prince Edward's new bride, Princess Ariana.
00:40:14Welcome, Your Royal Highness.
00:40:16Good evening.
00:40:18Esther was shocked to learn about your recent marriage.
00:40:21Could you tell us more about how you met Prince Edward?
00:40:23We met in my hometown of Queens.
00:40:26Edward found that very serendipitous.
00:40:28Princess Dima alerted that you were working as a prostitute there.
00:40:33No, that is not true.
00:40:35So, you are calling your fellow princess a liar?
00:40:37She was misinformed.
00:40:39To be clear, did Prince Edward ever paid you for his services?
00:40:44No, not in that way.
00:40:45So, he has paid you?
00:40:46I'd rather not discuss...
00:40:48Ma'am, the public has a right to know who their new princess really is.
00:40:52So, I would ask you again.
00:40:54Did Prince Edward ever pay you for his services?
00:41:13All right, yes.
00:41:15He paid for me.
00:41:16I was his mail order bride.
00:41:18And maybe that's just as much as a scandal, but marrying Prince Edward is the best thing that I have ever done.
00:41:27My sister was fighting cancer, and I needed the money to save her.
00:41:31And he gave me that.
00:41:33But he gave me so much more.
00:41:36I'm not talking about the crown or the castles.
00:41:39I'm talking about his love and his kindness and his respect.
00:41:43And yes, I am calling Princess Demer a liar.
00:41:49I don't know why she wants to ruin us.
00:41:51Maybe she's bitter because Edward didn't forgive her after she was caught cheating on him with Prince Marcus.
00:41:57You can ask her about that.
00:42:00But what I do know is Edward is a good man.
00:42:04And yes, this started out as a transaction for sure.
00:42:06I needed the money to save my sister, and he needed to be saved from marrying a woman that he didn't love.
00:42:13But now my sister is getting better.
00:42:17And Edward has a wife who couldn't love him more.
00:42:19It's about time you started fighting back.
00:42:36Nice performance.
00:42:38Really appealing to the old heartstrings.
00:42:40It wasn't a performance.
00:42:41It's always a performance, princess.
00:42:45Only the people, they don't want love stories.
00:42:48They want dirt.
00:42:49That's why I'll win.
00:42:51Because I'm not afraid to get my hands dirty.
00:42:54As we discovered in New York.
00:42:56Are you referring to the assassination attempt?
00:42:59In fact, I'm the only reason you're still breathing.
00:43:04What?
00:43:05It was Athena who wanted you dead.
00:43:08But I convinced King Aithen to hold off for now.
00:43:13See, he's willing to let you live so long as you...
00:43:17Give my airship to you.
00:43:20Clever boy.
00:43:22Make all the threats you want.
00:43:25I will prove my innocence in court.
00:43:27Oh, even if you are somehow able to convince my judge that Dima's the one lying,
00:43:34you won't convince her father.
00:43:37If you're found not guilty, he'll simply declare war.
00:43:40You just can't win.
00:43:43Your Highness, we're getting record engagements on our socials.
00:43:47People are going crazy for their new princess.
00:43:48Maybe they do want love stories after all.
00:43:53Oh, here's a good one.
00:44:05Starting a petition to rename Princess Harry the Queen of Spades.
00:44:09She just buried Princess Dima live on TV.
00:44:13Princess Harry is the best American import since fried chicken waffles.
00:44:20God, you don't actually eat that, do you?
00:44:22Um, your brother literally made me try a sausage made of blood.
00:44:25Fair.
00:44:34Your wife's a sensation in the nation.
00:44:37Father's etiquette lesson's clearly paid off.
00:44:41Speaking of, listen to this.
00:44:43Princess Harry should give this year's Christmas speech.
00:44:46King Maxwell's are as dry as my husband's turkey dinner.
00:44:50Yes, I saw that one.
00:44:52In fact, you gave me an idea.
00:44:57Ma'am, we're ready for you.
00:45:00Ready for what?
00:45:06Whenever you're ready, Your Highness.
00:45:10My fellow Estrians.
00:45:12You know, that feels pretty strange to say.
00:45:14I'm sure you're used to spending your Christmases with King Maxwell.
00:45:19But, surprise, you've got me this year.
00:45:22You know, my own Christmases are usually spent with my family.
00:45:26My sister, my mom, and me.
00:45:28And yet, here I am, giving a speech to all of you.
00:45:33But it still feels the same.
00:45:35It feels like family.
00:45:37Because you have opened your hearts to me.
00:45:40And made me feel at home here.
00:45:43So, from the bottom of my heart, thank you.
00:45:47And Merry Christmas from the palace.
00:45:54You were amazing.
00:45:56We'll upload it to your new channel tonight.
00:45:58I just wish my family was really here.
00:46:00Well, I think you'll like your present, then.
00:46:08Merry Christmas, Ari.
00:46:09Hey!
00:46:15You know, I can't believe you're actually here.
00:46:17I can't believe you're here.
00:46:19You're a goddamn princess.
00:46:22Ari, what you did for me,
00:46:24I could never repay you.
00:46:26But you're getting better as payment and half.
00:46:29Oh, cool.
00:46:30I guess you won't be needing your present, then.
00:46:33I'll get you first.
00:46:34I wanted to get you something to say thank you.
00:46:37It's not quite Crown Jewels level, but...
00:46:43Thank you, Anne.
00:46:50Where's your half?
00:46:51I don't need it.
00:46:53You already gave me a part of yourself with a transplant.
00:46:56And now you'll have a part of me, too.
00:46:58Oh, Anne.
00:47:00Ari, I know you did all this for me.
00:47:08But are you really happy here?
00:47:11I don't know.
00:47:14I guess my life is just really different now.
00:47:17Edward, have you heard from your lawyers?
00:47:31They've hired a PI to look into Marcus's bribery of state officials.
00:47:35But he's covered his tracks.
00:47:38I'm not sure we can beat him.
00:47:43Ari, there's a New Year's street party tonight.
00:47:45We have to go.
00:47:46You're not well enough.
00:47:47I've been here a whole week, and you haven't let me out once.
00:47:50I want to go see Estria.
00:47:52Yeah, there'll be plenty of time for that when you're better.
00:47:54But I feel fine.
00:47:55I promise.
00:47:55I...
00:47:56No, Henley.
00:47:56We're working on a strategy for Edward's trial.
00:47:59We really don't have time for this.
00:48:06She's been cooped up for months.
00:48:08Must have been tough.
00:48:16Henley?
00:48:18Henley, look, I'm really sorry.
00:48:20We can celebrate here if you like.
00:48:23Henley, please, look, I'm sorry.
00:48:25Can I come in?
00:48:32Damn it, Henley.
00:48:39Hey, have you seen this girl?
00:48:41Oh my God, Princess Ari.
00:48:43Please, please, she's missing.
00:48:45And she's my sister, so...
00:48:47Oh yeah, she's just there doing some shots.
00:48:49What?
00:48:50What are you even doing here?
00:48:55Ari, please, enough with the grown-up boys.
00:48:58You're still in recovery, and you're underage.
00:49:00I'm not in this country.
00:49:01We're going home.
00:49:02Ari, please.
00:49:04Just let me have one night.
00:49:06I never thought I'd get to see another new year.
00:49:09I knew you'd pull the cats off.
00:49:12Fine.
00:49:13But no more drinking.
00:49:14Love you, sis.
00:49:20Five, four, three, two, one.
00:49:31Happy New Year!
00:49:32Yay!
00:49:32Yay!
00:49:32Woo-hoo!
00:49:33Woo-hoo!
00:49:38Woo-hoo!
00:49:44Come on.
00:49:45I'm just having some fun.
00:49:47Don't you get it?
00:49:48I'm a public figure now.
00:49:50I have more important things to worry about than fun.
00:49:51Fine.
00:49:52Go back to your prince, and your palace, and your fancy new life.
00:49:57I'm sorry that I wanted to spend time with my sister.
00:50:01I guess she's just too important for that now.
00:50:02I guess she's just too important for that now.
00:50:18It's not what it looks like.
00:50:36This creep grabbed me for like half a second before I threw him off.
00:50:39I'm surprised anyone had a chance to take a photo.
00:50:43Edward.
00:50:45Speak to me.
00:50:46Even if that is true
00:50:49This is on every front page the day before my trial begins
00:50:53Well, Dean Marcus must be behind it
00:50:56It's another smear campaign
00:50:58It's working
00:51:00This will lose us the country's support just when we need it the most
00:51:16Court is now in session
00:51:26The prosecution may call its first witness
00:51:29Thank you, Your Honor
00:51:31The prosecution calls Captain Harry Percy to the stand
00:51:37Do you swear to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth?
00:51:50I do
00:51:50Captain Percy
00:51:55You are Prince Edward's bodyguard
00:51:58Are you not?
00:52:00I am
00:52:00You go everywhere with him, don't you?
00:52:04I do
00:52:05Did you go with him to visit Princess Demon?
00:52:07On the night of your soul
00:52:09I did
00:52:10Captain Percy
00:52:13Did you witness Prince Edward physically attack Princess Demon that night?
00:52:22I did
00:52:23I just don't understand where Percy would lie
00:52:36Yeah, I know, it sucks
00:52:38He was really hot
00:52:40I'm really not a mood hen
00:52:42I'm sorry
00:52:43Laurie, I don't know what you want me to say
00:52:46I mean, Percy clearly worship you guys
00:52:48I guess that human trashbag Marcus probably got to him the same way he got to the judge
00:52:53Huh
00:52:55What?
00:52:56What?
00:52:56The bruises
00:52:57We know Edward didn't give them to Dima
00:52:59Sure, it was Marcus
00:53:01Yeah, but we always assumed they were working together, right?
00:53:06But what if Marcus was manipulating Dima?
00:53:09Forcing her to blame her injuries on Edward?
00:53:11Oh my god
00:53:12Hen, I can kiss you right now
00:53:15I need to go and speak to my fellow princess
00:53:19It's judgment day for Prince Edward
00:53:22And his bodyguard's damning testimony
00:53:24Can prove the deciding factor in the judge's verdict
00:53:27And here she comes
00:53:29Princess Arie
00:53:30Just listen to those rules
00:53:33She's of course caught up in her own adulty scandal
00:53:38And this could be as well a dark day for the old couple
00:53:41Dima
00:53:46What do you want?
00:53:51It's not too late to stop this
00:53:53Why would I want to do that?
00:53:56Well, I believe it's Prince Marcus who's been hurting you
00:53:58And forced you to blame it on Edward
00:54:00We're facing another beating or worse
00:54:02But it's okay, you don't have to be scared anymore
00:54:04I can make you safe
00:54:06No
00:54:07No
00:54:08Oh
00:54:09Ari
00:54:09Thank you
00:54:12Thank you
00:54:17It's the best joke I've ever heard
00:54:27You poor naive girl
00:54:33Did you really think my brain-dead fiancé was behind all this?
00:54:36I just made him believe it was all his idea.
00:54:40Our affair in the throne room, bribing the judge.
00:54:44I even had to force him to hit me.
00:54:47He thinks this whole charade is about winning him the throne.
00:54:52And what is it really about?
00:54:56Bringing down the piercements.
00:54:59For generations they've looked down their noses at little Athena.
00:55:03We've been invaded and attacked too many times to count.
00:55:08And yet, my father sent me here to marry your loser prince.
00:55:14So I decided to use Marcus to divide the family.
00:55:18Bring them down from the inside.
00:55:21I didn't factor you in of course, but clearly I needn't have worried about Edward's dollar store princess.
00:55:27You'll soon be forgotten.
00:55:29A side note in the downfall of the Estrian royal family.
00:55:34Oh, chop chop. Time to hear your husband's guilty verdict.
00:55:39You won't get away with this.
00:55:41Oh, darling. I already have.
00:55:44Oh, here they are.
00:55:47Princess Demo, did you know that this conversation with Princess Ari was recorded and live streamed on other social media?
00:55:57What?
00:55:58Who's the naive one now?
00:56:00Oh, you devious little bitch.
00:56:04I learned from the best.
00:56:06If you ever threaten my family again, I will put you in a box smaller than the cell that you're headed for.
00:56:16Okay?
00:56:18You alright?
00:56:19Yes, where's Edward?
00:56:21The judge has found him guilty.
00:56:23Wait!
00:56:26I have new evidence that proves that Prince Edward is innocent.
00:56:30I've already passed my judgment.
00:56:33The prince is guilty as charged.
00:56:36Well, your honor.
00:56:37I also have evidence that you were bribed into making that verdict.
00:56:40How dare you!
00:56:42Bailiff!
00:56:43Stop right there.
00:56:45This sham is over.
00:56:48You hold no authority here.
00:56:51This is the Crown Court, is it not?
00:56:53I am the living embodiment of the Crown, and I revoke your spurious guilty verdict.
00:56:59And I charge you, Prince Marcus and Princess Demo, with treason.
00:57:05Arrest them.
00:57:07Stay for me!
00:57:09Stay for me!
00:57:11Stay for me!
00:57:13You save me again.
00:57:26Let's���pun's harmony.
00:57:28Yes it is not the only hero around here.
00:57:34Yes it is my queen!
00:57:39Come.
00:57:42Come.
00:57:46You wanted to see us, Father?
00:57:50I owe you an apology, Edward.
00:57:52You're never capable of such violence.
00:57:54You've always been a man of peace.
00:57:57And, Larry, you share the same compassion and charisma
00:58:00as Edward's mother had in spades.
00:58:04You'll make a great queen.
00:58:06Thank you, Father.
00:58:08Of course, we do still have to work on the decorum.
00:58:10Ah, we have plenty of time for that, Pops.
00:58:12What's that?
00:58:14Actually, the public are thirsty for new blood and,
00:58:19well, I'm ready for a rest.
00:58:21So I've decided to abdicate the throne to you two, young upstarts.
00:58:26Good luck.
00:58:27Your Royal Highness.
00:58:45We're going to New York, Percy, and we need protection.
00:58:49I might let you down.
00:58:50Forget about it.
00:58:52You were looking out for your family, and I get that.
00:58:55So shave that stubble, soldier.
00:58:57We've got a plane to catch.
00:59:00Yes, ma'am.
00:59:07Good morning.
00:59:08We're very happy to...
00:59:09We're very happy to welcome you all here today.
00:59:15As you know, my sister recently beat cancer.
00:59:21It was a hard battle, and to pay for it, I became a princess.
00:59:26But that's not really an option for most people.
00:59:29So, that's why we've opened Henley's House,
00:59:34a place where cancer patients can get free support throughout their treatment.
00:59:41So, um, please welcome the woman of the hour, Henley Douglas.
00:59:45I now declare Henley's House open!
00:59:57Well, I can't believe you made yourself first patient of Henley's House.
01:00:01Oh, God.
01:00:03I can't go through this again.
01:00:05Quit your bellyaching, Mom.
01:00:07Not every bellyache is a tumor.
01:00:08Do you ever feel like you liked her better when she was in a coma?
01:00:11Well, something did come up on the test results, folks.
01:00:18It's cancer.
01:00:19We cursed.
01:00:20No, it's not cancer.
01:00:22Kidney stones.
01:00:24Liver disease.
01:00:24Mom.
01:00:25You're having a royal baby, Ari.
01:00:27Oh, my goodness.
01:00:28Oh, my goodness.
01:00:41Our lives are about to change forever.
01:00:46In more ways than you know.
01:00:56I love you.
01:00:58I love you, too.
01:00:59I love you, too.
