00:00:00Oh my god, Henley.
00:00:06Oh god.
00:00:08Oh my god.
00:00:10You're covered in coffee.
00:00:13Yeah, of course.
00:00:14I came as soon as I got Mom's message.
00:00:16What happened?
00:00:17I skipped breakfast and fainted on the track.
00:00:20It's no big deal.
00:00:21You had me so worried.
00:00:23It'd take more than an empty stomach to kill me off.
00:00:26You're right.
00:00:27You know what, let me go grab you some food.
00:00:29Okay?
00:00:30Mm-hmm.
00:00:31What can be happening?
00:00:33I'm afraid it's the situation.
00:00:36Mom?
00:00:37I'm sorry.
00:00:38The doctor has some bad news.
00:00:40What?
00:00:41I'm sorry.
00:00:42Your sister has leukemia.
00:00:44Our insurance is expired.
00:00:47There's no way we can pay for her treatment.
00:00:49Don't worry, I'll figure something out.
00:00:51You just go and look after Henley for a moment, okay?
00:00:54Okay.
00:00:55Okay?
00:00:59Oh my god.
00:01:02What am I gonna do?
00:01:04I'm only on minimum wage.
00:01:06There are other ways to pay.
00:01:09Tell me, are you single?
00:01:11What?
00:01:12What's that got to do with anything?
00:01:14It might just save your sister's life.
00:01:16A deluxe mail order ride service?
00:01:21Hello.
00:01:23You 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.
00:01:30We found you a bidder.
00:01:31What the?
00:01:32I'm so sorry for saying,
00:01:33I will spill companies allow you to pay for hands with pandemic or52.
00:01:38Hello.
00:01:39You got your best dress, Harry Douglas.
00:01:42We found you a bidder.
00:01:45This is a big bummería today.
00:02:20Your Royal Highness, Princess Dima has arrived.
00:02:24Excellent. We can finally confirm our engagement.
00:02:27The thing is, we're not exactly sure where in the castle she is.
00:02:30She was last seen speaking to your cousin.
00:02:33Marcus is here.
00:02:34We'll find him before he starts any trouble.
00:02:36No need. I know exactly where he'll be.
00:02:49Dima!
00:02:50Edward!
00:02:53I'm sorry, my love. I don't know what came 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.
00:03:05If either of you step foot in this palace again, I will have you both executed for treason.
00:03:22Now get out.
00:03:28I guess there won't be a royal wedding after all.
00:03:30It took years to arrange your marriage to Princess Dima.
00:03:44And now you're throwing our new alliance with Lathina away?
00:03:49I wasn't the one fucking someone else on the throne.
00:03:51You watch your language, boy.
00:03:53She was having sex with cousin Marcus on our seat of power.
00:03:57The one he craves for himself.
00:04:00Surely you can't expect me to still marry her.
00:04:03I'll travel to Lathina and clear up your mess.
00:04:07But there will be a royal wedding.
00:04:09You are to find a new bride worthy of this crown.
00:04:14I'll travel to Lathina and clear up your wedding.
00:04:44I'll travel to Lathina and clear up your wedding.
00:04:46Harry Douglas.
00:04:48Spread your arms, please.
00:04:49Um, we agreed that our first date wouldn't be physical, but...
00:04:54Is that really necessary?
00:04:58Your bag, please.
00:04:59You're not my date, are you?
00:05:03I shouldn't have signed up for this.
00:05:05No, I'm sorry.
00:05:05I think I'm just going to go.
00:05:07Ma'am.
00:05:07No, really, honestly, I can't...
00:05:08Your Highness.
00:05:14Prince Edward.
00:05:22His Royal Highness Prince Edward Pierceman of Australia.
00:05:26That's your service.
00:05:27Harry Douglas of Queens.
00:05:31Not a bad start.
00:05:33This is a joke, right?
00:05:34I mean, why would a prince need a maelod or bride?
00:05:37Have I read your profile?
00:05:39You're smart.
00:05:40Beautiful.
00:05:42Talented.
00:05:42But you're hiding something.
00:05:45You don't want money, you need it.
00:05:48You don't know anything about me.
00:05:50Precisely.
00:05:52So you're going to change that, or should I just assume that you are a gold digger like
00:05:55all the rest?
00:06:00You have a great day, Your Highness.
00:06:02Back to the airport, sir?
00:06:13No.
00:06:16Follow her.
00:06:23How are you feeling, Tal?
00:06:24Why do people keep treating me like I'm dying?
00:06:27We're just worried about you.
00:06:28What's wrong?
00:06:33I think I'm hallucinating.
00:06:36What?
00:06:37Isn't that Prince Edward?
00:06:39Oh, what the hell are you doing here?
00:06:41Ari, you're speaking to literal royalty.
00:06:44No, it's alright.
00:06:45We bumped into each other as I toured the hospital, and I was a little rude.
00:06:49I apologise, Miss Douglas.
00:06:50Could I have a word outside?
00:06:55You're doing this for your sister?
00:07:05Well done.
00:07:06Gold star for the Prince.
00:07:09If you marry me, I will pay for her whole treatment.
00:07:14Anything she needs.
00:07:15Wait, you're serious?
00:07:17Yes.
00:07:17But, if you'll permit me, there is one last thing I must test.
00:07:42What now?
00:07:42I love you, sis.
00:07:55Australian tradition dictates that you mustn't see each other again until your wedding day.
00:08:08What?
00:08:08So you just kissed me and left?
00:08:09I'm to escort you to Australia as soon as you're done here.
00:08:11But I must gas you to keep the engagement a secret.
00:08:14Why?
00:08:14Every move a royal mech is in the spotlight.
00:08:18It's just one of the many things you're going to have to get used to.
00:08:20And fast.
00:08:22Your new life starts now.
00:08:37Ma'am?
00:08:38This is Prince Edward's younger brother, Prince Xavier.
00:08:40Oh, hi, um, greetings, your royal highness.
00:09:02My god.
00:09:03Did she never even teach you how to curtsy?
00:09:10God, I'm sorry.
00:09:15Although 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.
00:09:24I'm Edward's younger, funnier, more handsome, more charismatic little brother.
00:09:30Sorry you ended up with the dad, but, um,
00:09:33hey, we still have time to fall in love, run away before the wedding.
00:09:39Come with me.
00:09:40Uh, this is our little fixer-upper.
00:09:48Your room's round about the 312th on the left.
00:09:53I imagine you want to settle in and rest, but...
00:09:59Already late for our first appointment.
00:10:01Oh, wow, it's a good game.
00:10:02Yeah, we...
00:10:02automatical work.
00:10:26Bye-bye.
00:10:27From rags to riches, let's make you a princess.
00:10:57Yes, queen. Or should I say, yes, future queen. I've never seen myself like this.
00:11:07Now stop those heels.
00:11:18When did Adelaide find a savage? Isn't it obvious? She's a whore.
00:11:24You must have fallen in love with her, almost between her legs.
00:11:29She'll be gone as soon as he gets borrowed of fucking her present.
00:11:40Go away!
00:11:49So this is true?
00:11:52Who are you?
00:11:53Your predecessor.
00:12:00You have a very pretty face.
00:12:03If you want to keep it that way, leave while you still can.
00:12:07Is that a threat?
00:12:09No, no, it's a warning.
00:12:11Edward is not the man he makes out to be.
00:12:13And trust me, my darling, you weren't the first one to fall for his trap.
00:12:26Harry?
00:12:27Harry?
00:12:28Harry, you're not leaving are you?
00:12:36Harry?
00:12:38Harry?
00:12:39Harry?
00:12:40I've been transferred to the best cancer hospital in donor.
00:12:52That's great, hen.
00:12:53I feel like I can finally breathe again.
00:12:54Oh, gotta go.
00:12:55Doug's here.
00:12:56Love you.
00:12:57Love you.
00:12:58Love you.
00:12:59Love you.
00:13:00Harry?
00:13:01Harry?
00:13:02Harry?
00:13:03Harry?
00:13:04It's your big day.
00:13:05Okay.
00:13:06Okay.
00:13:07Okay.
00:13:08Let's get this over with.
00:13:09Bye.
00:13:11Okay.
00:13:13Gonna get you.
00:13:14I feel like I can finally breathe again.
00:13:15Oh, gotta go.
00:13:16Doug's here.
00:13:17Love you.
00:13:18All right, it's your big day.
00:13:24Okay.
00:13:30Let's get this over with.
00:13:48You look radiant.
00:13:56I'm sorry, it's not the royal wedding you might have expected.
00:14:00My father is-
00:14:01I'm just doing this for Henley.
00:14:03Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to join this man and this woman in holy matrimony.
00:14:09Prince Edward, you're about.
00:14:12Ari, though it was circumstance that brought us together, it is love that will bind us.
00:14:21With this ring, I commit to you my heart, my spirit and my soul.
00:14:29Let us shower our lives until they are well spent and spend them well together.
00:14:37Do you, Edward, take this woman to be your lawfully wedded wife?
00:14:41I do.
00:14:42And do you, Ariana, take this man to be your lawfully wedded husband?
00:14:52I do.
00:14:54And I now pronounce you husband and wife.
00:14:58You may kiss the bride.
00:15:02Arrest that man!
00:15:05Arrest that man!
00:15:11What's the meaning of this?
00:15:12You know exactly what you did, you bastard!
00:15:16Explain yourself!
00:15:18Last night, Prince Edward here decided to pay a little visit to my beloved fiancé.
00:15:25What fiancé?
00:15:26Princess Dima.
00:15:27I only went there to retrieve the royal wedding ring.
00:15:37And this is what he did to me when I refused to give it to him.
00:15:40That is a lie!
00:15:41Take him away!
00:15:43You don't believe them, do you, Ari?
00:15:47Ari?
00:15:48Ari?
00:15:50Ari?
00:15:52Ari!
00:15:53Ari!
00:16:01Comfortable, cousin?
00:16:03You scoundrel!
00:16:04It was you that put those brutus on Dima.
00:16:09What do you care?
00:16:11Besides, you've got your American Barbie princess now anyway.
00:16:14What happened to you?
00:16:16We used to be like brothers.
00:16:18If we were brothers, then there wouldn't be a problem.
00:16:21I'd already have the crown.
00:16:23That's what this is about.
00:16:25You scredited me in order to steal my birthright.
00:16:28It's just as much my birthright as it is yours.
00:16:30My father should have fought for what was rightfully his.
00:16:33He was the younger twin!
00:16:34By what?
00:16:35Twelve minutes, was it?
00:16:37Your father was only given the airship because he was the favourite son.
00:16:41And you are willing to destroy our family over such nonsense?
00:16:47I am.
00:16:50But it doesn't have to go that way, cousin.
00:16:53Simply relinquish your claim to the throne to me and I'll drop the charges.
00:16:58They won't stand anyway.
00:16:59Oh, they will.
00:17:01I have every High Court judge in my back pocket.
00:17:05If you even try and take this to trial, I will ruin you.
00:17:10I will ruin you.
00:17:41You've reached the chicken pen, but it's all out of hens.
00:17:45Leave a message and I'll clock you back.
00:17:46What is it?
00:17:47I will settle for the fight.
00:17:48What is it?
00:17:49I'm sorry.
00:17:50I will call you.
00:17:52I will mount you back.
00:17:53I'll take you back.
00:18:24That's going to take some getting used to.
00:18:54I'd like to finally meet you, Your Majesty.
00:18:56I wish I could say the same.
00:18:59It's good that you're here, though. Sign this.
00:19:04An annulment agreement?
00:19:06Well, I presume your ridiculous marriage has not been consummated yet due to my son's situation.
00:19:13Sign the contract and let's end this foolishness.
00:19:15I can't.
00:19:18You can, and you will.
00:19:21No. Edward promised me that he'd pay for my sister's cancelled tuition, and I can't let her down.
00:19:27Well, if it's just the money you're here for, have it.
00:19:30This feels wrong.
00:19:39Either you sign, or we force you to.
00:19:43Trust me, we still keep some nasty traditions in this palace.
00:19:47You ask me to find a bride worthy of the crown.
00:20:09So I did.
00:20:10The girls are commoners.
00:20:12No, father.
00:20:14She is my wife.
00:20:16I will not let you change that.
00:20:18I'm so sorry for today.
00:20:30I don't want your apologies.
00:20:33I want the truth.
00:20:36Did you hurt Princess Dima?
00:20:40No.
00:20:42My cousin Marcus is trying to smear my reputation.
00:20:45Why should I believe you?
00:20:48Why do you think you're here, Ari?
00:20:51I don't know.
00:20:53I was supposed to marry Princess Dima for political reasons.
00:20:59When she cheated on me, I made a vow to only marry the person that I wanted.
00:21:04And then I found you.
00:21:06We apparently know each other.
00:21:07Then give me a chance.
00:21:10I saw how you would go to any length to save your sister.
00:21:14And it resonated with me because...
00:21:15I lost my mother to cancer.
00:21:23Edward.
00:21:25Ari, I fell in love with your humanity.
00:21:29And now I'm asking that you trust in mine.
00:21:33I'm innocent.
00:21:36Edward, you're shaking.
00:21:38I never kissed the bride.
00:21:58It's still our wedding day for another five minutes.
00:22:00I can't believe you did all of this for me and my family, Edward.
00:22:27I can't wait to tell them that we're married.
00:22:35Mum?
00:22:37Mum?
00:22:39What's wrong?
00:22:44I'm...
00:22:44I'm innocent of God.
00:22:47I'm...
00:22:47I'm innocent of God.
00:22:49So you ran off to get hitched while your sister fights for her life?
00:23:02It wasn't like that.
00:23:04That big shiny ring suggests otherwise.
00:23:08Edward is paying for him, these treatments.
00:23:11He's the reason that she's in this hospital.
00:23:13Why?
00:23:14What does he get out of it?
00:23:16Me.
00:23:17You sold yourself to him?
00:23:21Is that what you're telling me?
00:23:24Friendly, Mum.
00:23:26Friendly.
00:23:32This is Dr. Mortimer.
00:23:34My private physician.
00:23:36I recommend we perform a stem cell transplant right away.
00:23:41It's risky, but it could save Henley's life.
00:23:44Ari, your medical record shows you could be an ideal donor.
00:23:48Just show me where to sign, Doc.
00:23:50I don't even know this person.
00:23:52She can be a quack.
00:23:53If Edward trusts him, then so do I.
00:23:55We will get both of you prepped for surgery immediately.
00:24:13Mom.
00:24:14Oh, sweetheart, here.
00:24:16Have some water.
00:24:17He hasn't left your side.
00:24:23I'm so sorry about before.
00:24:26I was just struggling so much without you here.
00:24:30And me.
00:24:31She's still sleeping.
00:24:32But the surgery was a success.
00:24:34I can't believe what you did for your sister.
00:24:39Selling yourself to this man.
00:24:43What they're saying about him.
00:24:46In the papers.
00:24:47It's all lies, Mom.
00:24:49Mom, someone's trying to get him.
00:24:52Doctor.
00:24:54Ari's awake.
00:24:55I can't get him.
00:24:59Ember!
00:25:04Ember!
00:25:09Come on!
00:25:10Oh, my God!
00:25:11Oh, my God!
00:25:15Ember!
00:25:25No!
00:25:29Ellen!
00:25:38Fucking drop that pot!
00:25:49I'm not your pair.
00:25:52That wasn't very nice.
00:25:55Field trip's over. We need to get you and the princess to a safe house.
00:25:59Now!
00:26:23How are you feeling now?
00:26:25Who the hell were they, Edward?
00:26:27They must have been sent by Marcus.
00:26:29He wants the throne that badly. Did he try and kill his own cousin?
00:26:34I tried to push out your mind.
00:26:36I can't.
00:26:38I can't stop thinking about how close I came to losing you.
00:26:41And I nearly lost you.
00:26:44You would have sacrificed yourself to save me.
00:26:48Why?
00:26:50You know why?
00:26:51Say it, Laurie.
00:26:57Say it.
00:26:59Because I love you, Edward.
00:27:02I can't let you go.
00:27:06Hey.
00:27:08I'm not going to live here.
00:27:10I know what you wanna do.
00:27:11You're not by me.
00:27:12So now I can't do your mind.
00:27:13I'm not gonna do your mind.
00:27:14I'm not gonna take care of you.
00:27:15But you don't want anybody else.
00:27:16I will take care of you.
00:27:17I'm not gonna be good soon.
00:27:18I'll take care of you.

00:31:30well maybe our kids will wear these one day
00:31:32good practice for the real thing
00:31:34practice for the real thing.
00:31:39Ah, another family tradition.
00:31:43My first kill, in fact.
00:31:47Wait, you killed this stag?
00:31:51Edward, that's horrible.
00:31:54Edward, that's horrible.
00:31:57No, it's heritage.
00:31:59There are mounts here,
00:32:01dating back to the 18th century.
00:32:03Oh, really?
00:32:04And did they use a guillotine to chop off their heads?
00:32:08You're being ridiculous.
00:32:10Me?
00:32:11I find it ridiculous, no barbaric,
00:32:13that you could butcher one of these creatures for sport.
00:32:16No, we don't butcher them.
00:32:18We have the utmost respect for our game.
00:32:21Your game.
00:32:22Your game.
00:32:23If you had respect for your game,
00:32:25you wouldn't call it your game.
00:32:27God, how could it have been so wrong about you?
00:32:30What does that mean?
00:32:31You're just like one of them.
00:32:33A little snob with a big gun.
00:32:36You're judging me because of my class.
00:32:39Yes.
00:32:40Killing things to impress people?
00:32:42It's horrible.
00:32:43Beg your pardon?
00:32:44Not now, Percy.
00:32:45Not now, Percy.
00:32:46Apologies, your highnesses,
00:32:47but I think you're going to want to see this.
00:32:49How are you feeling now, your highness?
00:32:54See for yourself.
00:33:02Edward has to face justice.
00:33:04We can't be ruled by a criminal.
00:33:06The prince is innocent until proven guilty.
00:33:10And he'll have his day in court.
00:33:12There is something else you should know about him.
00:33:15Darling?
00:33:17He called off our wedding
00:33:19so that he could marry an American prostitute
00:33:22named Arie Douglas.
00:33:25How dare they?
00:33:27These people are not fit to wear the crown.
00:33:29We'd make a better king and queen
00:33:31than my cousin Edward and his yank whore.
00:33:34A persuasive argument.
00:33:37Let's hope the public disagrees.
00:33:43You've not only brought this family into disrepute, Edward,
00:33:46but the crown itself.
00:33:49You really believe the accusations?
00:33:51Well, they tally with your reckless decision
00:33:53to marry this commoner.
00:33:56I'll give you one last chance to end this farce.
00:33:59Sign the annulment and we'll deny everything to the press.
00:34:02No.
00:34:08Arie is my wife.
00:34:10Now and forever.
00:34:13So be it.
00:34:15Your marriage stands.
00:34:17You honor me, father.
00:34:19I'm not only father to you.
00:34:21I'm father to this nation
00:34:23and I will not have you jeopardize the crown.
00:34:27Xavier,
00:34:29you shall be my successor
00:34:30and the new crown prince of Estria.
00:34:37You can't do that.
00:34:39It goes against convention,
00:34:40but these are unconventional times.
00:34:43No, you can't do that because I don't want it.
00:34:46It's not about what you want.
00:34:48We're at war with your cousin
00:34:50and maybe with Lathena soon too.
00:34:53We need a show of strength.
00:34:55Giving in to Marcus's games?
00:34:57That's a show of strength?
00:34:59It wipes the slate clean.
00:35:02Xavier will be the new face of the monarchy.
00:35:05You'll marry a woman of stature
00:35:07and sire and heir.
00:35:10Are you blind?
00:35:15Or do you just ignore what's right in front of you?
00:35:20What are you talking about now?
00:35:22I won't marry.
00:35:26I won't have an heir.
00:35:28And I won't be king.
00:35:30Because I'm gay.
00:35:33The monarchy is above sexuality, Xavier.
00:35:38It's your crown too tight around the cranium.
00:35:41I'd rather announce all my titles than continue living this lie.
00:35:45What have I done to deserve these boys?
00:35:48You know, that's a good question.
00:35:50You have two incredible brave sons.
00:35:54But you didn't do anything to deserve them.
00:35:56No, I'm warning you, father.
00:35:57No, honestly, it's okay.
00:35:59I've got this.
00:36:01You think I'm scared of you, Maxwell?
00:36:03I'm not.
00:36:05I'm just so disappointed.
00:36:07You see, I never met my dad.
00:36:09And when we first met,
00:36:10I thought I would finally feel what it's like to have a real father.
00:36:15And now, honestly, I'm...
00:36:17I'm...
00:36:18I wish I'd never found out.
00:36:21You say you're father to the nation.
00:36:24You're not even a good father to your own sons.
00:36:37What's this?
00:36:39Oh, that's black pudding.
00:36:41It's, um, made from blood.
00:36:43You don't have to eat it.
00:36:45No, no, no, it's fine. I'll try it.
00:36:47Actually, I wanted to apologize for yesterday about the stack thing.
00:36:51After our argument with her dad, I kind of...
00:36:52I realized how different our upbringings were.
00:36:54It wasn't fair to judge you for that.
00:36:55I appreciate that.
00:36:56And, um, what you said to him, too.
00:36:57And, um, what you said to him, too.
00:36:59Okay.
00:37:00Okay.
00:37:01Okay.
00:37:02Morning.
00:37:04Morning.
00:37:05Morning.
00:37:07The king,
00:37:17the king.
00:37:18and my family.
00:37:20Morning.
00:37:35The king has arranged for Princess Arie to make her first public appearance.
00:37:39What?
00:37:40He said, and I quote,
00:37:41put that girl on TV, she's got some fire in her belly.
00:37:46He thinks we can beat Marcus by winning over the people.
00:37:50Well, that is great news.
00:37:52He did have one stipulation.
00:37:54You're to return to the palace, ma'am, for lessons in etiquette.
00:37:57And he'll be your personal tutor.
00:38:11Princess Ariana.
00:38:16Forgive me.
00:38:17My behavior has been unbecoming.
00:38:24Yeah, I don't really know what that means, but apologies accepted.
00:38:29Estrians respect their kings, but they love their queens.
00:38:33So, we have to work on your decorum.
00:38:36Thankfully, you'll be learning from the best.
00:38:39That's not a very decorum-y thing to say, your majesty.
00:38:41The word you're looking for is decorous.
00:38:44And I'm not talking about myself.
00:38:46I'm talking about your mother-in-law.
00:38:54Christmas is a time of joy.
00:38:57Notice her posture.
00:38:59And of her.
00:38:59Her poise.
00:39:01Of stricter.
00:39:01And kind.
00:39:02As though you have an iron rod.
00:39:03Across the street.
00:39:04To everyone.
00:39:06This is your etiquette lesson, not mine.
00:39:09Repeat after.
00:39:10My husband and I would like to wish you a very merry Christmas.
00:39:17Well, you said all the words in the right order.
00:39:22What was she like?
00:39:24A lot like you.
00:39:25She had a very kind way with people.
00:39:29Her charity work was her life.
00:39:32Boys were devastated to lose her.
00:39:36And you?
00:39:40It's never been the same without her.
00:39:49She's an inspiration?
00:39:51Yes.
00:39:52Our next queen has a lot to live up to.
00:39:55Good evening.
00:40:00Tonight I'm joined by Prince Edward's new bride, Princess Ariana.
00:40:05Welcome, Your Royal Highness.
00:40:07Good evening.
00:40:09Esther was shocked to learn about your recent marriage.
00:40:11Could you tell us more about how you met Prince Edward?
00:40:14We met in my hometown of Queens.
00:40:16Edward found that very serendipitous.
00:40:20Princess Dima alerted that you were working as a prostitute there.
00:40:23No, that is not true.
00:40:24So, you are calling your fellow princess a liar?
00:40:28She was misinformed.
00:40:30To be clear, did Prince Edward ever pay you for your services?
00:40:34No, not in that way.
00:40:35So, he has paid you?
00:40:37I'd rather not discuss.
00:40:38Ma'am, the public has a right to know who their new princess really is.
00:40:42So, I would ask you again.
00:40:45Did Prince Edward ever pay you for your services?
00:40:47All right, yes.
00:41:05He paid for me.
00:41:06I was his mail order bride.
00:41:08And maybe that's just as much as scandal, but marrying Prince Edward is the best thing that I have ever done.
00:41:13My sister was fighting cancer.
00:41:19And I needed the money to save her.
00:41:21And he gave me that.
00:41:23But he gave me so much more.
00:41:26I'm not talking about the crown or the castles.
00:41:29I'm talking about his love and his kindness and his respect.
00:41:33And yes, I am calling Princess Demer a liar.
00:41:39I don't know why she wants to ruin us.
00:41:41Maybe she's bitter because Edward didn't forgive her after she was caught cheating on him with Prince Marcus.
00:41:47You can ask her about that.
00:41:50But what I do know is Edward is a good man.
00:41:54And yes, this started out as a transaction for sure.
00:41:57I needed the money to save my sister.
00:41:59And he needed to be saved from marrying a woman that he didn't love.
00:42:03But now my sister is getting better.
00:42:07And Edward has a wife who couldn't love him more.
00:42:22It's about time you started fighting back.
00:42:26Nice performance.
00:42:28Really appealing to the old heartstrings.
00:42:30It wasn't a performance.
00:42:31It's always a performance.
00:42:33It's always a performance, princess.
00:42:34Only the people, they don't want love stories.
00:42:38They want dirt.
00:42:39That's why I'll win.
00:42:41Because I'm not afraid to get my hands dirty.
00:42:44As we discovered in New York.
00:42:46Are you referring to the assassination attempt?
00:42:49In fact, I'm the only reason you're still breathing.
00:42:54What?
00:42:54It was Athena who wanted you dead.
00:42:57It was Athena who wanted you dead.
00:42:57But I convinced King Aithin to hold off for now.
00:43:04See, he's willing to let you live so long as you...
00:43:08Give my airship to you.
00:43:10Clever boy.
00:43:11Make all the threats you want.
00:43:15I will prove my innocence in court.
00:43:19Oh, even if you are somehow able to convince my judge that Dima's the one lying,
00:43:24you won't convince her father.
00:43:27If you're found not guilty, he'll simply declare war.
00:43:31You just can't win.
00:43:33Your Highness, we're getting record engagements on our socials.
00:43:36People are going crazy for their new princess.
00:43:41Maybe they do want love stories after all.
00:43:52Oh, here's a good one.
00:43:54Starting a petition to rename Princess Harry the Queen of Spades.
00:43:58Because she just buried Princess Dima live on TV.
00:44:03Princess Harry is the best American import since fried chicken waffles.
00:44:09God, you don't actually eat that, do you?
00:44:12Your brother literally made me try a sausage made of blood.
00:44:15Fair.
00:44:24Your wife's a sensation in the nation.
00:44:26Father's etiquette lesson's clearly paid off.
00:44:31Speaking of,
00:44:32this is this.
00:44:33Princess Harry should give this year's Christmas speech.
00:44:36King Maxwell's are as dry as my husband's turkey dinner.
00:44:39Yes, I saw that one.
00:44:42In fact,
00:44:44it gave me an idea.
00:44:47Ma'am,
00:44:48we're ready for you.
00:44:50Ready for what?
00:44:51Whenever you're ready,
00:44:57Your Highness.
00:44:59My fellow Estrians.
00:45:02You know,
00:45:02that feels pretty strange to say.
00:45:05I'm sure you're used to spending your Christmases with King Maxwell.
00:45:08But,
00:45:09surprise,
00:45:10you've got me this year.
00:45:12You know,
00:45:12my own Christmases are usually spent with my family.
00:45:15My sister,
00:45:16my mom,
00:45:17and me.
00:45:19And yet,
00:45:19here I am,
00:45:20giving a speech to all of you.
00:45:22But it still feels the same.
00:45:25It feels like family.
00:45:27Because you have opened your hearts to me.
00:45:30And made me feel at home here.
00:45:33So from the bottom of my heart,
00:45:35thank you.
00:45:36And Merry Christmas from the palace.
00:45:43You were amazing.
00:45:45We'll upload it to your new channel tonight.
00:45:47I just wish my family was really here.
00:45:55Well,
00:45:55I think you'll like your present then.
00:45:57Merry Christmas,
00:45:58Aubrey.
00:45:59Hey!
00:45:59You know,
00:46:05I can't believe you're actually here.
00:46:07I can't believe you're here.
00:46:08You're a goddamn princess.
00:46:11Ari,
00:46:12what you did for me,
00:46:13I could never repay you.
00:46:16Well,
00:46:16you're getting better as payment enough.
00:46:18Oh,
00:46:18cool.
00:46:20I guess you won't be needing your present then.
00:46:22Too fast.
00:46:23I wanted to get you something to say thank you.
00:46:26It's not quite Crown Jewels level,
00:46:28but,
00:46:28thank you.
00:46:37Thank you,
00:46:38Anne.
00:46:39Where's your half?
00:46:40I don't need it.
00:46:42You already gave me a part of yourself with the transplant.
00:46:45And now you'll have a part of me too.
00:46:48Oh,
00:46:48Anne.
00:46:54Ari,
00:46:54I know you did all this for me,
00:46:56but are you really happy here?
00:47:01I don't know.
00:47:04I guess my life is just really different now.
00:47:06Edward,
00:47:18have you heard from your lawyers?
00:47:20They've hired a PI to look into Marcus's bribery of state officials,
00:47:24but,
00:47:25he's covered his tracks.
00:47:27I'm not sure we can beat him.
00:47:32Ari,
00:47:33there's a New Year's street party tonight.
00:47:34We have to go.
00:47:35You're not well enough.
00:47:36I've been here a whole week,
00:47:38and you haven't let me out once.
00:47:39I want to go see Estria.
00:47:41Yeah,
00:47:41there'll be plenty of time for that when you're better.
00:47:43But I feel fine.
00:47:44I promise.
00:47:44I...
00:47:45No,
00:47:45Henley.
00:47:45We're working on a strategy for Edward's trial.
00:47:48We really don't have time for this.
00:47:55She's been cooped up for months.
00:47:57Must have been tough.
00:47:58Henley?
00:48:07Henley,
00:48:07look,
00:48:08I'm really sorry.
00:48:09We can,
00:48:09we can celebrate here if you like.
00:48:12Henley,
00:48:12please,
00:48:13look,
00:48:13I'm sorry.
00:48:14Can I come in?
00:48:21Damn it,
00:48:21Henley.
00:48:21Hey,
00:48:28have you seen this girl?
00:48:30Oh my God,
00:48:30Princess Ari,
00:48:31I'm...

00:48:44Ari,
00:48:44please,
00:48:45enough with the grown-up boys.
00:48:46You're still in recovery,
00:48:48and you're underage.
00:48:49I'm not in this country.
00:48:50We're going home.
00:48:50Ari,
00:48:51please.
00:48:52Just let me have one night.
00:48:55I never thought I'd get to see another new year.
00:48:57I knew you'd pull the cats off.
00:49:01Fine.
00:49:02But no more drinking.
00:49:03Love you, sis.
00:49:15Five,

00:49:18one.
00:49:19Happy New Year!
00:49:21Come on.
00:49:34I'm just having some fun.
00:49:36Don't you get it?
00:49:37I'm a public figure now.
00:49:38I have more important things to worry about than fun.
00:49:40Fine.
00:49:41Go back to your prince,
00:49:43and your palace,
00:49:44and your fancy new life.
00:49:46I'm sorry that I wanted to spend time with my sister.
00:49:49I guess she's just too important for that now.
00:50:21This creep grabbed me for like half a second before I threw him off. I'm surprised anyone had a chance to take a photo. Edward, speak to me.
00:50:36Even if that is true, this is on every front page the day before my trial begins.
00:50:43Well, Dean Marcus must be behind it. It's another smear campaign.
00:50:46It's working. This will lose us to country's support just when we need it the most.
00:50:53The court is now in session. The prosecution may call its first witness.
00:51:17Thank you, Your Honor. The prosecution calls Captain Harry Percy to the stand.
00:51:26Do you swear to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth?
00:51:37I do.
00:51:42Captain Percy, you are Prince Edward's bodyguard, are you not?
00:51:48I am.
00:51:49You go everywhere with him, don't you?
00:51:52I do.
00:51:54Did you go with him to visit Princess Demor on the night of your soul?
00:51:58I did.
00:52:00Captain Percy, did you witness Prince Edward physically attack Princess Demor that night?
00:52:10I did.
00:52:11I just don't understand why Percy would lie.
00:52:25Yeah, I know. It sucks.
00:52:27He was really hot.
00:52:29I'm really not a mood hen.
00:52:31I'm sorry.
00:52:32Mari, I don't know what you want me to say.
00:52:34I mean, Percy clearly worshiped you guys.
00:52:37I guess that human trashbag Marcus probably got to him the same way he got to the judge.
00:52:41Huh.
00:52:44What?
00:52:45The bruises.
00:52:46We know Edward didn't give them to Demor.
00:52:48Sure, it was Marcus.
00:52:49Yeah, but we always assumed they were working together, right?
00:52:54But what if Marcus was manipulating Demor?
00:52:57Forcing her to blame her injuries on Edward!
00:53:00Oh my god.
00:53:01Hen, I can kiss you right now.
00:53:05I need to go in and speak to my fellow princess.
00:53:07It's judgment day for Prince Edward, and his bodyguard's damning testimony can prove the deciding factor in the judge's verdict.
00:53:16And here she comes, Princess Arie.
00:53:19Just listen to those boos.
00:53:22She is, of course, caught up in her own adulty scandal.
00:53:26And this could be, as well, a dark day for the old couple.
00:53:29Oh my god.
00:53:34Demor.
00:53:37What do you want?
00:53:39It's not too late to stop this.
00:53:42Why would I want to do that?
00:53:44Well, I believe it's Prince Marcus who's been hurting you.
00:53:47I'm forced you to blame it on Edward.
00:53:49We're facing another beating or worse.
00:53:50But it's okay.
00:53:51You don't have to be scared anymore.
00:53:53I can make you safe.
00:53:54Oh, Arie.
00:54:13It's the best joke I've ever heard.
00:54:15You poor naive girl.
00:54:21Did you really think my brain-dead fiancé was behind all this?
00:54:25I just made him believe it was all his idea.
00:54:28Our affair in the throne room.
00:54:30Bribing the judge.
00:54:32I even had to force him to hit me.
00:54:35He thinks this whole charade is about winning him the throne.
00:54:41And what is it really about?
00:54:42Bringing down the piercements.
00:54:47For generations, they've looked down their noses at little Athena.
00:54:52We've been invaded and attacked too many times to count.
00:54:57And yet, my father sent me here to marry your loser, Prince.
00:55:02So I decided to use Marcus to divide the family.
00:55:07Bring them down from the inside.
00:55:08I didn't factor you in, of course, but clearly I needn't have worried about Edward's dollar store, Princess.
00:55:16You'll soon be forgotten.
00:55:18A side note in the downfall of the Estrian royal family.
00:55:23Oh.
00:55:24Chop chop.
00:55:25Time to hear your husband's guilty verdict.
00:55:28You won't get away with this.
00:55:29Oh, darling.
00:55:31I already have.
00:55:32Oh, here they are.
00:55:38Princess Dima, did you know that this conversation with Princess Arie was recorded and live-streamed on other social media?
00:55:46What?
00:55:47Who's the naive one now?
00:55:49Oh, you devious little bitch.
00:55:52I learned from the best.
00:55:54If you ever threaten my family again, I will put you in a box smaller than the cell that you're headed for.
00:56:05Okay?
00:56:06Are you all right?
00:56:07Yes, where's Edward?
00:56:09The judge has found him guilty.
00:56:13Wait!
00:56:15I have new evidence that proves that Prince Edward is innocent.
00:56:19I've already passed my judgment.
00:56:21The Prince is guilty as charged.
00:56:24Well, Your Honor, I also have evidence that you were bribed into making that verdict.
00:56:28How dare you!
00:56:30Bailiff!
00:56:31Stop right there.
00:56:34This sham is over.
00:56:36You hold no authority here.
00:56:39This is the Crown Court, is it not?
00:56:40I am the living embodiment of the Crown and I revoke your spurious guilty verdict.
00:56:47And I charge you, Prince Marcus and Princess Dima, with treason.
00:56:53Arrest them!
00:56:54Save me! Save me! Save me!
00:57:14You saved me again.
00:57:16Looks like Prince Charming's not the only hero around here.
00:57:23He's my queen!
00:57:29Come.
00:57:33You wanted to see us, Father?
00:57:36I owe you an apology, Edward.
00:57:39You're never capable of such violence. You've always been a man of peace.
00:57:43And, Ari, you share the same compassion and charisma as Edward's mother had in spades.
00:57:50You'll make a great queen.
00:57:53Thank you, Father.
00:57:55Of course, we do still have to work on the decorum.
00:57:57Aha, we have plenty of time for that, Pops.
00:58:00Actually, the public are thirsty for new blood and, well, I'm ready for a rest.
00:58:08So I've decided to abdicate the throne to you two, young upstarts.
00:58:13Good luck.
00:58:14Your Royal Highness.
00:58:15We're going to New York, Percy. And we need protection.
00:58:18I might let you down.
00:58:20Forget about it.
00:58:21You were looking out for your family and I get that.
00:58:22So shave that stubble, soldier. We've got a plane to catch.
00:58:26Yes, ma'am.
00:58:27Good morning. We're very happy to...
00:58:29Sorry, um...
00:58:30We're very happy to...
00:58:31Sorry, um...
00:58:32We're very happy to welcome you all here today.
00:58:33As you know, my sister is here today.
00:58:34We're very happy to welcome you all here today.
00:58:35As you know, my sister is here today.
00:58:36We're very happy to...
00:58:37And we need protection.
00:58:38You're very happy to come!
00:58:39You're high so good.
00:58:40And we have the pool.
00:58:41Are you ready?
00:58:42You're ready?
00:58:43I'm ready.
00:58:44What's over?
00:58:45You're ready.
00:58:46Yeah.
00:58:47I'm ready.
00:58:48I'm ready.
00:58:49I'm ready.
00:58:50You're ready.
00:58:51I'm ready.
00:58:52I need to be in charge.
00:58:53You're ready.
00:58:54I'll get it.
00:58:55I'll get over.
00:58:56You're ready.
00:58:57Yeah.
00:58:58I'll get it.
00:58:59You're ready.
00:59:00I'll get it.
00:59:01I'll get it.
00:59:02You're looking out for your family and I get that.
00:59:03So shave that stubble, soldier.
00:59:04We've got a plane to catch.
00:59:05It was a hard battle, and to pay for it, I became a princess.
00:59:13But that's not really an option for most people.
00:59:17So, that's why we've opened Henley's House,
00:59:21a place where cancer patients can get free support throughout their treatment.
00:59:28So, please welcome the woman of the hour, Henley Douglas.
00:59:32I now declare Henley's House open!
00:59:44Well, I can't believe you made yourself first patient of Henley's House.
00:59:48Oh, God. I can't go through this again.
00:59:51Look at your bellyaching, Mom. Not every bellyache is a tumor.
00:59:55Do you ever feel like you liked her better when she was in a coma?
00:59:57Well, something did come up on this test results, folks.
01:00:04It's cancer. We're cursed.
01:00:07No, it's not cancer.
01:00:08Kidney stones. Liver disease.
01:00:11What?
01:00:12You're having a royal baby, Ari.
01:00:14Oh, my goodness.
01:00:15Our lives are about to change forever.
01:00:32In more ways than you know.
01:00:34I love you.
01:00:44I love you, too.
01:00:45I love you.
01:00:45I love you.
01:00:45I love you.
01:00:47I love you.
01:01:00I love you.
