00:00:00Oh my god. Henley. Oh god. Oh my god. You're covered in coffee. Yeah, of course. I came as soon as I got mom's message. What happened?
00:00:17I skipped breakfast and fainted on the track. It's no big deal. You had me so worried.
00:00:22It'd take more than an empty stomach to kill me off. You're right. You know what? Let me go grab you some food.
00:00:30Okay? What can't be happening? I'm afraid it's the situation. Mom? I'm sorry. The doctor has some bad news. What? I'm sorry. Your sister has leukemia. Our insurance has expired. There's no way we can pay for her treatment. Don't worry. I'll figure something out. You just go and look after Henley for a moment, okay? Okay. Okay.
00:01:00Oh my god. What am I going to do? I'm only on minimum wage. There are other ways to pay. Tell me, are you single? What? What's that got to do with anything?
00:01:14It might just save your sister's life. A deluxe mail order bride service?
00:01:21It might just save your sister's life. It might just save your sister's life.
00:01:39Hello. They got your best dress, Harry Douglas. We found you a bidder.
00:01:43I found you a bidder.
00:02:13Your 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. She 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.
00:02:43Deema!
00:02:50Edward!
00:02:53I'm sorry, my love. I don't know what came of him.
00:02:56I do.
00:02:57She wanted a taste of the true heir to the throne.
00:03:02Your majesty, please.
00:03:05No.
00:03:05No.
00:03:05If either of you step foot in this palace again, I will have you both executed for treason.
00:03:24Now 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.
00:03:45And 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.
00:04:10You are to find a new bride worthy of this crown.
00:04:21Harry 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.
00:05:00You're not my date, are you?
00:05:03I shouldn't have signed up for this.
00:05:05No, I'm sorry.
00:05:06I think I'm just going to go.
00:05:07Mom?
00:05:07You're a highness.
00:05:15Prince Edward.
00:05:19His royal highness, Prince Edward Pearcement 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 mail-order bride?
00:05:37I read your profile.
00:05:39You're smart.
00:05:40You're beautiful.
00:05:42You're talented.
00:05:44But you're hiding something.
00:05:46You don't want money.
00:05:47You 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 all the rest?
00:05:56You have a great day, your highness.
00:06:10Back to the airport, sir?
00:06:13No.
00:06:16Follow her.
00:06:16How are you feeling today?
00:06:24Why do people keep treating me like I'm dying?
00:06:27We're just worried about you.
00:06:32What's wrong?
00:06:33I 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.
00:06:44We bumped into each other as I toured the hospital, and I was a little rude.
00:06:50I apologize, Miss Douglas.
00:06:54Could I have a word outside?
00:07:04You're doing this for your sister?
00:07:05Well done.
00:07:07Gold star for the prince.
00:07:09If you marry me, I will pay for her whole treatment.
00:07:12Anything she needs.
00:07:15Wait, you're serious?
00:07:17Yes.
00:07:19But, if you'll permit me, there is one last thing I must test.
00:07:24What now?
00:07:43I love you, sis.
00:07:55I 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 he 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 cast you to keep the engagement a secret.
00:08:14Why?
00:08:15Every move a royal mech is in the spotlight.
00:08:18And it's just one of the many things you're going to have to get used to.
00:08:20And fast.
00:08:21Your new life starts now.
00:08:37Ma'am, this is Prince Edward's younger brother, Prince Xavier.
00:08:40Oh, hi, um, greetings, your royal highness.
00:09:02My god.
00:09:03She never even teach you how to curtsy.
00:09:05God, 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 Ari 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.
00:09:36Run away before the wedding.
00:09:39Come with me.
00:09:44This 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...
00:10:00Already late for our first appointment.
00:10:03And we'll be back in love.
00:10:06Uh-uh.
00:10:09Yeah.
00:10:10And we're at home.
00:10:16Yeah.
00:10:18And we're good.
00:10:18From rags to riches, let's make you a princess.
00:10:48Yes Queen, or should I say, yes future Queen.
00:11:05I've never seen myself like this.
00:11:08Now strap those heels.
00:11:18Where did Edmund find a savage?
00:11:21Isn't it obvious?
00:11:23She's a whore.
00:11:24He 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.
00:11:36Go away!
00:11:48Go away!
00:11:57So this is true.
00:11:59Who are you?
00:12:01Your predecessor.
00:12:08You have a very pretty face.
00:12:11If you want to keep it that way, leave while you still can.
00:12:15Is that a threat?
00:12:17No, no it's a warning.
00:12:19Edward is not the man he makes out to be.
00:12:31And trust me my darling, you weren't the first one to fall for his trap.
00:12:36Harry?
00:12:37Harry?
00:12:38Harry you're not leaving are you?
00:12:43Harry?
00:12:44Harry?
00:12:45Harry?
00:12:46I've been transferred to the best cancer hospital in Manhattan.
00:12:58My treatment is being paid for by some anonymous donor.
00:13:01That's great, Hen.
00:13:03I've been transferred to the best cancer hospital in Manhattan.
00:13:08My treatment is being paid for by some anonymous donor.
00:13:13That's great, Hen.
00:13:15I feel like I can finally breathe again.
00:13:18Oh, gotta go.
00:13:19Dog's here.
00:13:20Love you.
00:13:21Love you.
00:13:22Harry?
00:13:23Harry?
00:13:24It's your big day.
00:13:25Okay.
00:13:26Let's get this over with.
00:13:30Okay.
00:13:31Let's get this over with.
00:13:43You look radiant.
00:13:57I'm sorry, it's not the royal wedding you might have expected.
00:14:13My father is-
00:14:14I'm just doing this for Henley.
00:14:16Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to join this man and this woman in holy matrimony.
00:14:22Prince Edward, your bowels.
00:14:25Harry, though it was circumstance that brought us together, it is love that will bind us.
00:14:35With this ring, I commit to you my heart, my spirit, and my soul.
00:14:41Let us share our lives until they are well spent, and spend them well, together.
00:14:50Do you, Edward, take this woman to be your lawfully wedded wife?
00:14:54I do.
00:14:55And do you, Ariana, take this man to be your lawfully wedded husband?
00:15:06I do.
00:15:07And I now pronounce you husband and wife.
00:15:11You may kiss the bride.
00:15:15Arrest that man!
00:15:18Arrest that man!
00:15:21What's the meaning of this?
00:15:26You know exactly what you did, you bastard!
00:15:29Explain yourself!
00:15:31Last night, Prince Edward here decided to pay a little visit to my beloved fiancé.
00:15:38What fiancé?
00:15:40Princess Dima.
00:15:41I only went there to retrieve the royal wedding room.
00:15:50And this is what he did to me when I refused to give it to him.
00:15:53That is a lie!
00:15:54Take him away!
00:15:57You don't believe them, do you, Ari?
00:16:01Ari?
00:16:02Ari?
00:16:04Ari!
00:16:06Ari!
00:16:11Comfortable, cousin?
00:16:16You scoundrel!
00:16:19It was you that put those Brutus on Dima.
00:16:22What do you care?
00:16:24Besides, you've got your American Barbie princess now, anyway.
00:16:28What happened to you?
00:16:30We used to be like brothers.
00:16:32If we were brothers, then there wouldn't be a problem.
00:16:34I'd already have the crown.
00:16:37That's what this is about.
00:16:38Discredited me in order to steal my birthright.
00:16:41It's just as much my birthright as it is yours.
00:16:44My father should have fought for what was rightfully his.
00:16:47He was a younger twin!
00:16:48By what?
00:16:49Twelve minutes, was it?
00:16:51Your father was only given the airship because he was the favourite son.
00:16:55And you are willing to destroy our family over such nonsense?
00:17:00I am.
00:17:02But it doesn't have to go that way, cousin.
00:17:06Simply relinquish your claim to the throne to me and I'll drop the charges.
00:17:12They won't stand anyway.
00:17:13Oh, they will.
00:17:15I have every High Court judge in my back pocket.
00:17:19If you even try and take this to trial, I will ruin you.
00:17:23I will ruin you.
00:17:53You've reached the chicken pen, but it's all out of hens.
00:17:58Leave a message and I'll clock you back.
00:18:00Sale's money.
00:18:01Hooray, hensh.
00:18:02This is a standard food cabinet to lodge in the hall Giants.
00:18:05Legs were banished for a benevolence.
00:18:08Go,re.
00:18:09Hopefully what hat he has셨�ed.
00:18:10Or give a suitcase of the victor.

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