00:13Okay, so I married young. Nothing wrong with that, right?
00:16I was in love, but Prince Charming was more like Prince Boring.
00:20And who knew humiliating my stepsisters and stepmom would be the start of my troubles?
00:25I was a fool to think it would be a happily ever after.
00:28Hi, I'm Cinderella, and I'm from Germany.
00:31Growing up was tough.
00:32I was stuck cleaning all day while my spoiled stepsisters,
00:35who thought they were big-time influencers with their 10 followers, attended glitzy events.
00:41They bossed me around like mean girls, and my stepmom never defended me.
00:45Jenny took my book again!
00:47What do you need with a book? You have floors to scrub.
00:49Jenny needs it to wedge her window open.
00:51You know how her hair gets frizzy in the humidity.
00:53I couldn't figure out why my stepmom treated me like this.
00:56She was supposed to have loved my dad, and he would have never wanted her to act this way toward me.
01:01I put up with it for ages, until things got interesting.
01:04My stepsisters were practically fainting over a massive palace party.
01:09Prince Charming was on the hunt for true love,
01:11and every girl, including me and my stepsisters, was head over heels for him.
01:17At least my hair isn't frizzy like yours.
01:20I wish I had blue eyes, though, like Cinderella.
01:22Do you think he'll notice my wart?
01:23Not unless he's asleep.
01:26And I'm taking a fan for my hair. Thanks.
01:28Prince Charming was so handsome, always being photographed holding cute animals.
01:32We all had tickets to his party, and I pictured myself in a stunning ball gown.
01:37But I was in for a shock.
01:39Why, you're not going, Cinderella.
01:42Only glamorous ladies get to dance with the prince.
01:44And your dress looks like it's a thread away from a dishrag.
01:48I'll be sure to warn the royal family you're nothing but trouble.
01:51They all laughed, and I was furious.
01:54I'd had enough, and wanted my own independence and to find true love.
01:58I was just about to pack my bags when my auntie, who'd been out of town for ages, turned up.
02:03She had the latest couture dress in her suitcase and dried my tears.
02:07You know the rest.
02:08Epic Glam makeover, crushed the royal party, lost my shoe, and boom!
02:12Prince Charming goes on a shoe-fitting tour, and the next thing I know, we're married.
02:17I couldn't wait to start my new life with my wonderful Prince Charming.
02:21Big mistake.
02:22Prince Charming was a total fraud.
02:24More like Prince Alarming.
02:26Take our first royal engagement.
02:28All right, you know the drill.
02:31Quick photo op, and if any animal comes within one inch of me, I'll sue.
02:36As it turns out, Prince Charming is allergic to animals.
02:39All the cute animals in his photos, superimposed afterward.
02:43He was petting air.
02:44The worst part was he followed me around everywhere and was so clingy.
02:49You are the most beautiful girl in the world.
02:53Yep, same as an hour ago.
02:55Shouldn't you be examining royal policies or something?
02:58That gets done for me.
03:00I can do whatever I like.
03:02We can do whatever I like.
03:04Shopping again, a holiday.
03:05There's more to life than a pool, always being precisely 36 degrees.
03:10Don't you want to give something back?
03:11The people are fine.
03:13What's wrong with enjoying the finer things?
03:16You'll never scrub floors again.
03:18You just don't believe you deserve it.
03:20But I do.
03:20Royal life was not what I expected.
03:23Sure, it was fun splurging on whatever I wanted and heading up some epic parties, but
03:28it all felt so empty.
03:30Little did I know, things were about to change.
03:32It all started with the arrival of my new assistant, Larissa.
03:36She was super pretty, with flawless skin and those big blue eyes.
03:40Most of my assistants were usually a nervous wreck around me, but Larissa was cool and
03:45relaxed and seemed to know exactly what I needed, even before I did.
03:49Why, Cinderella, are you about to do your speech?
03:52You have spinach in your teeth.
03:54Soon we became good friends.
03:55We had a lot in common.
03:56I shared about what it was like growing up, how my stepsisters were mean and my stepmom hates
04:01me.
04:02My dad only liked my brothers and hated that I was a girl, said I was useless and not
04:06strong and practical like them.
04:08So I ran away.
04:09But luckily I found this job.
04:11And you.
04:12We goofed around the palace and read books in the library.
04:15She was the sister I never had.
04:17I even let her take some photos, as normally phones were banned in the palace, but she never
04:21posted them online.
04:22I totally trusted her.
04:24I began to fight about feeling lonely with Prince Charming.
04:27I thought love would make me giddy, just like in the fairy tales.
04:31We all deserve true love.
04:32Maybe you just weren't meant to marry the prince.
04:35Then one day, Larissa showed me a photo she'd taken of Prince Charming with another girl.
04:39He was holding her arms, and she was wearing this enormous hat and her face hidden.
04:44I'm sorry, but it's better to know the truth, right?
04:46My heart dropped fast as I confronted him.
04:49No, she was just a super fan.
04:51Security escorted her off, and I gave her an autograph.
04:55I love you.
04:56I'm not sure I believe you.
04:58I thought you'd have compassion and integrity.
05:00You're not even charming.
05:02Maybe Larissa is right, and we shouldn't be together.
05:04No, I'm your true love.
05:06I'll show you.
05:07Make it up to you.
05:08You do realize you'll have to get out of your gaming chair to do that.
05:11But soon, everything went crazy.
05:13The next day, every newspaper and social media site exploded with an article by Larissa Appleton.
05:20An undercover journalist who set me up.
05:22The witch.
05:23She became a huge TikTok star overnight.
05:25The article totally trashed me, making it look like I married Prince Charming for his money and to get my own reality TV show.
05:32And worse, how I couldn't stand Prince Charming anymore or royal life.
05:36The royals were in an uproar, and protests erupted outside the palace, calling me an unfit future queen.
05:43His parents were humiliated and immediately banished me.
05:47To my surprise, Prince Charming came with me in solidarity.
05:50You're crazy.
05:51You'll lose everything.
05:53A chance for you to see I'm your true love.
05:55I know I always say you're beautiful, but it's more than that.
05:59Your kindness stood out.
06:01You say thank you, open doors for people.
06:04You make me want to be kinder.
06:06But it was hard to believe him.
06:08We moved into a tiny apartment with no money or possessions.
06:12I thought I'd give him a chance, but I spent over an hour teaching him how to boil a kettle, during which he managed to blow the electrics.
06:19It was tough.
06:20See, this is why you have staff.
06:23I wondered why my fairy tale had turned into such a disaster.
06:26What would Larissa have against me?
06:28Was that photo with the other girl even real?
06:30You missed it when her hat fell off and all the frizzy hair spilled out.
06:34That's when I realized the girl in the photo was Jenny.
06:37And it hit me.
06:38Larissa was actually Carrie.
06:40She must have gotten rid of her wart, worn a wig, and used colored contacts.
06:44I'd had enough.
06:45I marched right over to my stepsister's house to confront them.
06:48As soon as the door opened, I was shocked to see my stepmom grinning.
06:52Missing them up in Broom, are we?
06:54Where are my stepsisters?
06:55And I thought we'd moved past all that.
06:57Oh, did you?
06:59While you were prancing around on marble floors, we were shunned from society.
07:03My daughters had no chance of marrying anyone respectable.
07:06And you did nothing for us.
07:08No money, no bigger house, not even a hand-me-down tiara.
07:11You should be grateful I didn't throw you out onto the streets.
07:13You treated me like a servant and told me my dreams would never come true.
07:18You see, all this time, I've been patient, biding my time.
07:23Then I came up with the perfect plan for revenge.
07:25And Carrie and Jenny were all too pleased to play along.
07:28I just needed to get you out of the picture so that Carrie could take your place.
07:31And once more, I'd have the power and influence I deserve.
07:35But the prince doesn't love Carrie.
07:37He loves me.
07:38You are so naive.
07:40You think I married your dad for true love?
07:42That's why you treated me so badly growing up?
07:45You didn't care about him or me.
07:46Well, I won't let you do this to the prince.
07:49I felt so angry.
07:50Oh, wait.
07:51Do I have feelings for Prince Charming too?
07:53You're too late.
07:54I warned the royals about you at your wedding.
07:57And they feel bad they didn't believe me.
07:59Now we've struck a deal.
08:00If you disappear quietly and he marries Carrie, Larissa won't release her new article tomorrow exposing his hatred for the people and his scandalous baked photos.
08:10It'll ruin him.
08:11And they know it.
08:12So if you really love him, go.
08:14Mortified, I stepped back as she slammed the door.
08:17I knew I couldn't do that to Prince Charming.
08:19And there is no way he'd want to humiliate his family anymore.
08:22So he would have to marry Carrie.
08:24Just then, there was a knock at the door.
08:26It was my auntie.
08:27Had she come to magically save me?
08:29No, sweetie.
08:31I heard you were still in yesterday's outfit.
08:33So I brought you a Chanel.
08:35And remember, your dreams can come true.
08:38Auntie dressed me up in a silky pink ball gown.
08:41And I hitched it up and ran to the palace.
08:43I patted the security dogs and slipped inside, where a huge party was in full swing to introduce Prince Charming's new future queen.
08:51There were my stepmom and stepsisters.
08:53My stepsisters soaking up the attention and posing for selfies.
08:57I looked down at my now muddy ball gown.
09:00Who was I kidding?
09:01I wasn't a queen.
09:02Carrie and Jenny had spent their whole lives dreaming of this.
09:05Then it hit me.
09:06I had my own dreams and deserved them.
09:09What was I doing here?
09:10I was about to leave when a security guard dragged me up and paraded me inside.
09:14My stepmom and stepsisters' mouths dropped open.
09:17I was gonna go.
09:18Please believe me.
09:19Don't hurt Prince Charming.
09:20I don't want him if he doesn't really love me anyway.
09:23I deserve better.
09:24And I hope Carrie will be a great queen.
09:26I thought there would be yelling and punching and kicking.
09:29But unexpectedly, Carrie bowed her head.
09:31He didn't show.
09:32Huh?
09:33I secretly met him to see if there was any real spark.
09:36You did what?
09:37Even after the wart removal, all he talked about was you.
09:40And I want true love too.
09:42Honestly, I felt bad.
09:44As I did have fun when we hung out.
09:46When we were friends.
09:47I'm really sorry.
09:48Do as you're told, Carrie.
09:49I want creme brulee and pate for supper.
09:51Not crumbs.
09:52Mom, you treat us just as bad as you did Cinderella.
09:55Everyone, I set Cinderella up and manipulated the article to make her look bad.
10:00The crowd gasped.
10:01When really, she'd make a perfect queen one day.
10:04So caring and passionate.
10:06But then I turned to see Prince Charming standing there.
10:09I was mortified.
10:10It's okay.
10:11I'm going.
10:11Good luck with Carrie.
10:13But to my surprise, he knelt and kissed my hand.
10:16Then he addressed the crowd, admitting he doctored photos and didn't give the attention the community deserved.
10:21So, my stepmom couldn't blackmail him anymore.
10:24But I want to change.
10:26And it's only because I met my true love, Cinderella.
10:30I felt all giddy.
10:31Jenny and my stepmom stormed off.
10:33While Carrie and I shared an awkward hug before she left.
10:37Turns out, he really was my Prince Charming after all.
10:40As for my stepmom and stepsisters, they moved away and lost a ton of followers.
10:45Karma's a digital age beast.
10:47And me, I'd still scrub floors if I had to.
10:50But let me tell you, everything's a lot more fun when you're wearing a crown.
