♪ BRIGHT AND BREEZY MUSIC

Hello.

Hank! Did your wife
get that job?

♪ CELLPHONE RINGTONE

Hey! You heading off
on your big day?

"After my morning jolt of
coffee..."

Thanks to you.
What did I ever see in tea?

"No idea."

What are you eating?

Nothing. A pastry.

(LAUGHING) I knew it!

You told me I needed to cram
for my final pitch.

That's not exactly what I meant.

"You and your American slang."

So are we still on
for this afternoon?

Absolutely. But first I have
to go home and shower

and wrangle a bunch
of nine year olds.

- They pay you for that.
- Very funny.

"Now go sell your book.
I'm tired of dating

a struggling writer."

I want one with
a publishing deal.

"Whatever you say darling."
I embarrass you. I knew it.

Yes, yes you do.

Now go knock 'em dead. That's
another American expression

that probably doesn't
mean what you think it does.

(HE LAUGHS)
I'll see you later.

Yeah...

(SHE GIGGLES)

- Hey, morning Sara.
- Hey, Caitlin.

- Do you need a hand?
- Yes please.

What is all this?

We are making personalised
picture frames today.

No wonder the kids love you.
Why teach them math,

when you can just bring out
the glitter glue?

I can do both.

Hey, how is that mysterious
Englishman?

- Perfect!
- Yeah?

Today is our first anniversary.

You're kidding! It's already
been a year? Wow, hey.

So eh, are you sure
about this guy?

I mean, he doesn't have
an Instagram, or a Facebook.

If you ask me, I think he's
totally hiding something.

He's just very private. Today he
left a note on my windshield.

“Stay as wonderful as you are,
love anonymous.”

How do you even know
that's from Danny?

Who else thinks I'm wonderful?

Literally anyone
who's ever met you.

And just remember,
it's not a competition.

Just be original and always
be true to yourself.

That's what you tell us
every day, Miss DeMarco.

Well that's because it's very
important and you can show it

in everything you do.
Like these frames.

What did you put on
your frame?

Well...

So this is my frame.

I love flowers, so I found
pictures of things

that you can find in the garden.

Alright, you guys are doing
a terrific job,

and I can see that everyone is
getting the hang of this.

So I'm gonna let you work on
these over spring break.

So it's time to clean up
and put everything away.

Alright guys,
where did we leave off?

Look at this spread! You must
have been cooking all day.

Not me...

I was busy. Selling my book.

(GASPS) They bought it!
(LAUGHS)

Danny, congratulations!

My year of research in
America paid off.

English Explorers in 17th
Century New England.

Oh, Danny, we have to celebrate!

Hence the lavish feast
I prepared

on this very expensive
picnic cloth.

(SARA GIGGLES)

Mmm, turkey meatloaf.
You know me so well.

One short year, I know
everything about you.

Oh, you think so?

You jog every morning at six.

You cry at football, though
I've never understood that

or why Americans
call it football

when it so obviously isn't.
You love health food

but you allow yourself
chocolate-covered cherries,

because you're convinced
they're a fruit!

- I'm not that transparent.
- One more thing!

You love me as much as
I love you.

Yeah.

That's true. Very, very true.
(GIGGLES)

Now let's eat. I'm STARVING!

Uhm...before you dig
into the entree,

tempting as that sandwich
may be.

Why don't we take a look...

..at dessert.

(LAUGHS) Danny, what is that?

Sara Angela DeMarco. I've never
met anyone quite like you.

And I'm...very certain
I never will again.

You...are everything a man
could ever hope for.

Well, this one at least.

And so...

What are you saying, Danny?

I'm saying that you are kind
and warm and...

..all together remarkable.

So I-I...

- I called your parents
and uh... - You did?!

And they gave me their blessing.

Oh!

So I wonder if you would be
at all open to the idea

of marrying me.

Are you serious?

This is an engagement cupcake?

Sara, I love you, madly in fact.

But I can't make this
absolutely official until...

You see this is where things get
a bit sticky. I uh...

I haven't been entirely honest.
There's something that I...

I've been keeping from you
and I'm not quite sure

how to say it. - Oh gosh!

Oh my gosh, Caitlin was right.

- No, Sara... - You've been
keeping something from me.

Just tell me what it is?

Now, alright, alright.
You see me as a simple writer,

writing totally unconventional
non-fiction,

making his way in the world,
but...

Truth is...

The truth is,

I'm a prince.

(GIGGLES)

You're a pr...what, like...

Like Prince Charming?

Well I am pretty charming,
but eh...

No, I'm an actual prince.

The Prince of St. Ives, to be
exact. You may have heard of it?

It's a small monarchy,
off the British Isles?

No, no. It doesn't ring a bell.

I s'pose that's how I managed to
keep it a secret for this long.

(LAUGHTER)

That's totally....What do you
have to say? Who are you really?

No, I'm really, truly,

Prince Daniel Seamus Horatio
Hughes of St. Ives.

At your service.

Oh...

No wonder you wouldn't let me
tag you on Facebook

and why I couldn't find any
pictures of you on the internet.

I tried to internet-stalk you
when we first met.

Don't judge me,
all women do that.

Sara, I'm so sorry.

I tried to tell you so many
times, I swear, but...

To find someone that likes me
for me and not for my...

..my title, my money,
my palace.

You have a palace?

More of a castle, if one were
to be more specific.

Actually it's from the late
17th century, when my great...

Never mind, it's...just let
me finish.

The longer I went
without telling you,

the more awkward it became
and...

And if my parents knew
that I'd told someone,

they'd have called me home.

You said your parents
had civil service jobs.

In a manner of speaking.
The King and Queen of St. Ives.

That's why tradition dictates
that we'll need their approval

in order for this
to be official.

What if they don't?

Well they will,
so don't worry about that.

- And my sister Fiona will...
- Oh my God!

This is just...

This is just so much.
I-I-I need time to think and...

Of course, of course.

Please take
all the time you need.

But I am going home tomorrow,
so,

if you say yes,
you should come with me.

There's some flexibility.
It's a royal jet.

So I'll come clean to your
parents tonight at dinner.

Put all my cards on the counter.

Table...put all your cards
on the table.

Right.

Seamus?

Daniel Seamus Horatio Hughes.
Of St. Ives.

You'll get the hang of it
in no time.

We should probably add a couple
more names to that.

He was telling the truth!

I've pictures of him with
celebrities, dignitaries,

his car collection. Race horses.

Would you be like
a real princess?

- I don't know!
- Would you have to move there?

I don't know.

Would you still be able
to teach?

I don't know.

This is so crazy!

(CHUCKLING) I know!

Guacomol-ay!

SARA: Guacomole!

Your father and I are so happy
about this, hon.

Engaged to such a nice guy.

Can we use the good plates
tonight, Mom?

The everyday is fine.
It's just us and Danny.

Save your Grandma's china
for your wedding dinner.

The thing is, Danny has
something to tell you

and it's kind of surprising.

More than surprising...

Shocking.

You should prepare yourself.

What, is he a wanted man?

Is he going to jail?
What is it?

Bert, I need you.

Come in here and listen to your
daughter. BERT: "In a minute!"

It's the big money question.
(SHOUTS AT TV)

Now please!

(GRUMBLES)

Alright, what's so important
it couldn't wait?

(LAUGHS NERVOUSLY, SIGHS)

God, how do I say this?

Danny is...more of a Daniel.

And that's your big news?
He's changing his name?

Oh, no...

Daniel, or, my Danny...

..is a prince.

Well...(LAUGHS NERVOUSLY)

Well of course he is,
sweetheart.

We've always thought so.
Very sweet...

No, no, no! He is a REAL prince.

Prince Daniel Christopher
Seamus...

..something, something, Hughes!

It turns out he's royalty.
Like, actual royalty.

Come on, like, Danny who takes
you to the movies?

Danny who plays golf with me?

And Danny who owns
a palace and racehorses

and is next in line to be
King of St. Ives.

- Of where? - It's this tiny
little monarchy.

That...it...
They really do need a publicist.

Well...! I gotta sit down.

You're already sitting, Marie.

(SIGHS)

Mom, say something.

Get the good dishes!

(LAUGHTER)

Sara at seven,
dressed for Halloween.

I wanted to be
Princess Leia that year.

They were sold out of Leias.
Cinderella is what they had.

Either way, a princess.

It was an omen.

The only way this could be
more embarrassing,

is if I had been dressed
as a bride that year.

We'll see you that way soon
enough.

If your parents approve.

Oh please, how could they not?

You're a class act, Danny.

And if you two can be as happy
as Marie and me,

that's all that matters.

And she'll be...a princess?

That's how this works.

- What would that make us?
- I don't know, my parents?

(LAUGHTER)

I hope we're as happy
as your parents are,

after 35 years.

(SIGHS) A construction worker
and a waitress.

Not exactly
in your parents' league.

Take off the crowns, take away
the servants and carriages

and we're all just people.

You'll find out for yourself
tomorrow.

(SIGHS)I hope your parents think
I'm good enough for their son.

If anything, they're not good
enough for you.

But don't tell them I said that.

You know, you still haven't
answered my question.

I haven't?

Well, my answer is yes.

Yes, yes, yes! Yes, yes, yes,
YES!

Okay, what do I do when I meet
them. And what do I say?

I need to make
a good impression.

Be yourself.

Isn't that what you're always
telling your second-graders?

I knew that was gonna come back
to bite me.

Gloves. I should have worn
gloves.

Gloves are a royal thing.

Queen Elizabeth is always
wearing gloves.

She's her cute little glove
hands holding her little purse.

Just breathe.

And do I curtsy or bow?

What about touching?
Do I wait for them

to shake my hand,
or do I shake theirs first?

Do your people hug? - Yes, my
people have been known to hug.

There's nothing to worry about.

I'm right beside with you.
What could go wrong?

I have a terrible feeling
I'm about to find out.

Is that it?

That's it.

Home.

(MUSIC SOARS)

What do you think?

I think the movies did not
prepare me for this.

Sara, this is...

Oh, King Edmund.

It is my great pleasure
and honor to meet you.

- Sir?
- This is our head butler.

Jackson, Miss Sarah DeMarco.

I'm sorry.
It's just that you look so...

..regal.

But then, everyone does.

Is the King here?
Did I miss him?

You'll meet him soon enough.

It's not every day I'm mistaken
for nobility, Miss.

I'm flattered.

Welcome home, Your Highness.

I understand congratulations
are in order?

- Your book.
- Oh, right. Yes, that.

Have you a second one in mind?

Oh I think that one might be
a...love story.

- Are my parents...?
- In the drawing room.

I just need to grab my bags.

And I guess that shouldn't
surprise me.

Let's go meet the parents.

♪ MAJESTIC MUSIC

Everything you imagined?

No.

His Royal Highness
and Miss Sara Angela DeMarco.

Daniel, we've missed you so.

Good to have you back, son.

Hasn't been the same around this
old museum without you.

Well, Mother, Father,
this is Sara.

The woman who's stolen my heart.

Ah, yes. The one we're only
recently hearing about.

Miss DeMarco.

- It's a pleasure,
Your Highnesses.

Majesties.

No, I...Majesties, I knew that.
I'm sorry.

I'm just...(LAUGHS)
I'm a little nervous.

- Do I stand up?
- Now is good.

Queen Patricia of St. Ives.

It's the gloves, isn't it. I'm
sorry, I should've worn gloves.

I have them, I do. It's just I
left them...

You look fine, dear.

Uh, is my sister home?

Fiona's just arrived from
Vienna. She'll join us at dinner

and we'll celebrate your book.

About time we had an author
in the family.

We trust you had
a pleasant flight.

Oh! It was nothing like the 5.15
from Passaic.

Oh, that's a train. It's nothing
like the Royal jet.

(STUTTERS) Let's just say that
it's going to be really hard

to go back to economy.

Uhm...we should go get unpacked
and settled in, don't you think?

If that's okay.
It's been a day.

It's been a couple of days.

We'll continue this at dinner,
shall we?

One hour? Will that give you
time, dear?

- Time?
- To change.

Uh...yeah.

Right, well we'll see you
at dinner.

The girl seems sweet enough.

(SNORTS) Sweet, yes.

But what in the world does he
think he's doing?

(SIGHS) Oh, God.

Did I just bomb in there?
You can tell me.

You were wonderful.
You were charming and...

You were wonderful.

Wonderful twice? Huh...

That can't be good.

It's just that I
thought of your parents

as being as excited
about meeting me

as I was about meeting them.

Darling, for them that was
excited. (SARA GIGGLES)

- Hmmm.

Well...

Are you sure he never moved out?

- You don't like it.
- No, no, it's fine. Really.

Okay, it could use...a little
bit of cheering up.

Oh, but this bed!
(LAUGHS)

I could just die happy here.

Not until after dinner, please.

Mother is a stickler
for punctuality.

Oh, Your Highness.
Welcome back.

I was arranging
Miss DeMarco's things.

This is my sister, Fiona.

Danny...Daniel has told me
so much about you.

But I had no idea
you'd be so regal.

How kind of you to say.

And how long will you
be with us?

That kinda depends on your
parents. (SMALL LAUGH)

Well, I'll leave you two to
chat. I should go and get ready.

But uhm...I'll see you tonight
at dinner.

Main dining hall.

In an hour. On the dot.

Main dining room. One hour.

(ADOPTS POSH ACCENT)
On the dot.

Lena, you've left one of
your dresses hanging.

- Oh no, that's mine.
- Ah!

An honest mistake.

I took the liberty of choosing
something for Miss DeMarco

from her wardrobe
for this evening.

I pressed it for you as well.

You chose what
I was going to wear?

Uh...honestly, I...

Nonsense.
It's one of her duties.

Well, I can help you change
if you like?

(LAUGHS AWKWARDLY)
You know as nice

as all of this attention is,

I prefer to do this on my own,
if that's okay?

Of course, Miss.

Lena,

we'll handle things from here.

You may take the rest of
the evening off.

(EXHALES) Poor dear,
you must be exhausted.

Oh, you have no idea!

Well, you'll have time
for a nap before dinner.

If you like. This bed is
especially comfortable.

And uhm...we'll see you later.

You're so thoughtful.
I'd a feeling we'd get along.

Oh...

(CLOCK CHIMES THE HOUR)

Well, is she coming?

She may have got lost.

With an attendant at every turn?

She can't find her way
to a dining room.

We need to face facts, Daniel.

All I'm asking is you give her
a chance!

She's smart, she's funny.

Hardly the first quality
required in a princess.

Remember your station.
And our history.

What can you be thinking?

(GASPS)

Sorry to wake you, but I thought
you might appreciate

a spot of tea to start the day.

- What time is it?
- Nearly half-six, Miss.

Oh my gosh. I can't believe I
slept through dinner!

Danny must have been
so humiliated.

- Has he been asking for me?
- He sent you this.

Oh, my God.

He's so sweet.
Even after I stood him up.

I've gotta fix this.
Is he up yet?

No. Breakfast isn't until eight.

Okay.

And Lena, while I appreciate
the tea,

is it possible
to get some coffee?

American coffee?

Someone in the kitchen
must know how to make it.

If you could bring me some,
I would love you forever.

That may only be
an American expression.

It means, I would be eternally
grateful.

(SARA GROANS)

Good mornin'!

Top o' the morning to ya!
Or is that Irish?

Are you alright, Miss?

Just working off some jet lag.
Great place you have here!

Ah...oh, coffee!

Ughhh.

Excuse me?

I'm Sara DeMarco.
I'm Prince Daniel's guest.

Oh, yes.
We've been informed

there may be some special
requests this week.

I'm Colin, the royal chef.

- This is my dream kitchen.
- You cook, do you Miss?

Oh, people go out too much
these days

when it's so easy just to throw
together a turkey meatloaf.

One of your favourites, is it?

One of my comfort foods.

Mmm. Did you make
this bread and jam?

It's delicious.

I'm sorry. Am I somewhere
I'm not supposed to be?

I admit we're not used
to visitors.

- The King and Queen don't pop
in? - Course not, Miss.

But if there's anything
we can do for you

during your visit,
it would be our pleasure.

Well, I would like to talk to
you about your coffee sometime.

But if you could show me
where breakfast is...

The dining room is on your right
at the top of the stairs,

then on your left
at the end of the corridor.

I think I got that. (LAUGHS)
Thank you so much.

It was so nice to...

It was so lovely,
to meet you all.

(CLAPS) As you were...

We're happy you could join us.

This morning.

I'm so sorry about last night.
Fiona suggested I take a nap,

I lay down just for a second,
and I was out cold.

Well, with all the travel,
who could blame you.

Right, Mother?

Of course.

Wow. Is breakfast always
such a production?

I normally just have
OJ and oatmeal.

Or Danny and I have this cute
little spot we go to.

DANIEL: A local coffee shop.
Loud and friendly.

They serve a mean Jersey muffin,
don't they, Sara?

(BOTH LAUGH) DANIEL: It's a
private joke, sorry.

See, Danny calls English muffins
“Jersey” muffins.

You really have to be
there to get it,

but it's a lovely spot
and I'm sure you'd enjoy it.

I'm sure we might, Miss DeMarco.

Oh please call me Sara.
Miss DeMarco sounds so formal.

If that's what you prefer, Sara.

Wow, your dog
is so well-behaved.

I can't believe he's not at the
table, begging for scraps.

Bailey knows his place.

QUEEN PATRICIA: Which is not
at the dining table.

(FUNNY VOICE) Sorry, Bailey!

I was thinking I'd take Sara
into Bridgeton this morning.

Show her around our capital.

Oh, no, no, no.
Quite impossible.

- Oh.
- You're officially opening

the new school Wednesday,
some tasteful fanfare.

Bad form to be seen in public
before that.

A new school?
I'd love to see that.

I'm sure Sara would be welcome.

Oh, a boring public appearance.

No. Let's arrange something
special for her.

A tour of the vineyards,
perhaps.

Or the library.

We have some rare volumes that
might interest you.

We've plenty of time
for wine and books.

I'd like her with me.

I suppose we can discuss it.

KING EDMUND: What about your
family, Sara?

What sort of business
are they in?

If that's not eh...being too

No, of course not.

My father is in
housing development.

And my mother is in

She's a caterer?

She caters...to her customers.

They're terrific people.
I know you'd really get on.

KING EDMUND: In the meantime,
why not take her riding?

You haven't seen the horses
in ages.

You do ride?

Do you? We've never really
discussed it.

Do I ride?! (LAUGHS)

(POSH ACCENT) Do I ride!

You need to relax.
It can sense fear.

In case you wanted to expand
your wardrobe a bit,

the royal shopper
sent these over.

- I have a royal shopper?
- Mm-hmm.

Oh, well...

That's too generous.

I'll be fine
with my own clothes.

Well, if you're sure, Miss.

- On second thoughts...
- Yes?

If someone went
to all that trouble,

it would only be polite.

I hoped you might say that.

Oh...

Oh, that's so pretty!

Ah...

Daniel darling, it's been ages.

You look dashing as ever.

It seems America has agreed
with you.

Well, thank you, Countess.
I owe it all to Sara here.

Yes, we're happy to have
Sara visiting.

For a short time.

- You look lovely, dear.
- Oh, thank you!

The royal shopper kind
of went to town on me.

Oh, but everything's on loan.

You won't be charged for
anything, and if you are,

I promise to pay you back.

Here comes the next course,
just in time.

We're so looking forward
to the Spring Gala next week.

It's an annual celebration
of the season.

You'll enjoy it, I'm sure.
Mother gets the chance

to show off her prize daffodils.

Oh, speaking of which,

I hear someone picked her way
through the garden this morning.

Oh, the flowers were beautiful.

They were just begging
to be picked.

Was that not okay?

My wife is notoriously
particular about her garden.

Oh, I'm so sorry, I had no idea.
I promise it won't happen again.

Please don't be mad at Randall.

- The gardener?
- Yeah.

Did you know that it's his
twins' birthday this week?

The salmon is delicious,
Your Majesty.

The credit goes entirely
to our kitchen.

Oh, that kitchen is incredible!

My entire apartment could fit in
the pastry department alone.

(AWKWARD LAUGH)

You've been to the kitchen?

One has to wonder
if there's any of the staff

you haven't met as yet.

Danny, I'm hopeless.

I said everything wrong and
I made such a mess of things.

Where's the confident over-
achiever I fell in love with?

Practicing her wave for
tomorrow's dedication.

I'm serious.

(SARA SIGHS)

If I can't make it
through a meal,

how can I convince them I can
change enough to fit in?

Well, they're not going to
change you.

We're going to change them.

You have everything it takes
to be a princess.

I hope so.

(SIGH)

It's just...it's just so much.

Even their sky
looks bigger here.

And look at all those stars!

Pick one.

Why?

Just pick your favorite,
it's yours.

I'm a prince.
I can do that sort of thing.

Okay...

I choose that one.

An excellent choice.
Now make a wish.

- What did you wish for?
- I can't tell you that!

- If I do, it won't come true.
- That's just for birthdays.

If you wish on a star, you have
to tell.

No!

Don't look at me,
I don't make the rules.

Well in that case...

I wished that I can make it
through the week

without making a complete fool
of myself.

And if not,
there's a dungeon.

♪ MUSIC

Aren't you coming?

Y'know, I think I'd rather hang
here and watch.

I won't get in the way
and I have a great view.

You go do your princely thing.

I'm fine, really. Go.

Alright, I'll be right back.

I'll just make the speech,

cut a ribbon,
you won't even know I'm gone.

Oh, I'll know.

DANIEL: Thank you for this

truly unexpected homecoming
celebration.

We are here today to
rededicate this building

as a new educational facility

to serve the children of
Bridgeton.

And so, as a representative
of your royal family,

I hereby declare this school
open to serve our community!

Thank you.

Well hello, it's nice to meet
you. My name is Sara.

- Do you know the prince?
- I do.

Are you a princess?

No, but maybe someday.

You know what the great news is,

is that all of you can be
whatever it is you want to be.

I think I want to be a doctor
for animals.

And Simon wants to skate.

Wow, that's very exciting.

It was so lovely
to meet all of you,

and I hope that I get
to see you again. Bye!

Bye, Sara.

- You were terrific!
- Not too boring?

Just the right amount.

I'm so proud of you.

Oh no, what happened?

This, I'm afraid.

This happened.

Oh dear.

It's not the girl's fault.
She didn't know.

Queen Patricia:
Where are they now?

I believe the couple has gone
picnicking.

At a time like this?

Let us know the minute
they're back.

The very minute.

I hear that Bailey has taken to
finding his way into your bed.

Next he'll be at your feet
at dinner.

Oh, your mother would love that.

(BOTH GIGGLE)

These cookies taste suspiciously
familiar.

They should.
I gave the chef my recipe.

Don't tell Mother that!

She was appalled you even knew
where the kitchen is.

You were so in your element
yesterday with those children.

They were adorable, weren't
they? You were too.

So calm and confident.

- It looked like that, did it?
- You weren't?

That's the royal secret.

Even people born into it
feel this way.

Life in a fishbowl and all.

The fear someone might discover
you're hopelessly ordinary.

- You?
- Me, Mother, Father.

Anyone with a title.

The only thing that makes us
special is tradition.

It seems like tradition is
everything to your family.

(SIGHS) Oh, it is.

For better or worse.

It really is.

You need to make it clear
to him, Mother.

Sooner rather than later.

He's had relationships before.
They come, they go.

I shouldn't have to tell Daniel
what he already knows.

He's in love.
He's not thinking.

In that state,
who knows what he might do?

Something foolish, I'm sure.

I think it's serious this time.

If he marries this girl,
he can't take the throne.

- And that would make...
- You Queen.

Eventually, should it
come to that.

No, you're right, my darling.
I need to speak plainly to him.

Remind him what's at stake.

Well, you could do that,

yes, but you know
how headstrong he is.

Before you say anything,

let me see if there's
something I can do,

to help.

(PHONE BEEPS)
Oh, it's Caitlin.

What's up?

She wants me to call my Mom.

"Can we get an interview!"

Mom, what's all that noise,
what's going on?

There's a circus
in our front yard.

And reporters and TV crews.

Something about you and Danny.

"What are ya doing over there?"

Uh..we're having a picnic?

Well...I don't think this is
about a picnic.

Well, as long as you're okay,
honey. I gotta go.

Wait, Mom! Don't talk to anyone
until I call you back.

What is it?

A circus has come to town.

It looks like we're in the
centre ring.

How beautiful.

Care for some company?

Were your parents awfully mad?

They were less than thrilled
with this, as you can imagine.

Am I being kicked out?

Never. I think they'd face an
insurrection

if they tried to send you home.

You've built quite the fanclub.

Jackson tells me the kitchen has
been buzzing about your visits.

The gardener is naming
a rose after you.

Your lady's maid says you shared
your nail polish with her.

Now the guards love the baskets
of muffins you bring 'round.

Those poor guys, out there for
hours with nothing to eat.

- Is that so bad?
- No.

It's one of the many reasons
I love you.

I hope I'm not interrupting.

If you're here to rub it in...

How you misjudge me.
I came to help.

I know I haven't been
the most gracious host

since Sara's been here,

but this is all
such an adjustment.

Maybe there's a way I can help
convince our parents

that this relationship is right.

For everyone.

- If I may say...
- Please.

Royalty is a complicated
business.

Lots of rules,
both written and implied.

Like it or not, Daniel and I
have to live with them.

Which means,
to impress our parents

and welcome you into our family,

you'll have to abide by them
as well.

But how am I supposed
to follow the rules

if I don't even know
what they are?

You can't.
But I have a thought.

We need to put away your things
while you're here

and select more suitable
options.

Suitable.

Nothing too bright, or low cut.

No large bags. No wedges.
The Queen hates those.

No red nail polish,
much as I love it on you.

- You're kidding.
- Only natural tones.

- If at all.
- What about lipstick?

Yes, but bright again
is a big no no.

I'm still putting that
in the win column.

And if you must cross your legs,
only at the ankle.

One must never seem
less than happy.

Cheerful at all costs.

And never complain about not
feeling well.

Or appear cross
with anyone in public.

- Especially Daniel - Underline
that one.

What if you're being impossible?
- Underline it twice.

No, no, no.
When exiting a vehicle,

it is important that the knees
are together.

Always.

Swivel...and step.

Swivel, and step.

Ah, very good, Miss.

Perfect.

Great. A day of lessons

and all that I've learnt how to
do is get out of a car.

QUEEN PATRICIA:
Well, is she coming?

Fantastic. Oh!

Once you're at an event, you can
hug a commoner, but only one.

You don't want to appear
too touchy.

I'm a hugger.
Is that negotiable?

Sadly, no. No autographs.
No selfies.

No conversations longer than
two minutes.

Hello, thank you,
and on to the next.

It's like an assembly line.

If someone has a gift for you,
no matter how bizarre,

you must accept it graciously.

It's quite lovely.

I was once handed a ten foot
boa constrictor.

And always allow Daniel
to walk ahead of you.

You don't want it to appear
that you're leading him.

We'll talk about that one.

LENA: Don't share beauty tips.
DANIEL: Or diet tips.

- Or fitness tips. - What have
they got against fitness?

It makes one seem superficial.

CAITLIN: "According to this
website, it all boils down to

'don't stand out.'"

Is that everything? Please tell
me that's everything.

It's a start...and enough
for now.

There is one more item. You must
always gaze adoringly at me.

Okay, you made that one up.

CAITLIN: "No, he didn't.
It's right here."

It's your job to make him
look good.

Hey, you wanted to know.

It's no use, Lena.
Even with all these rules,

I'm in such trouble.

Not at all.
Look how far you've come.

Remember when you wouldn't even
let me select an outfit for you?

You're becoming a real princess.

The world has come to believe

you and Sara are having a fling.

“A Royal Affair”
as the tabloids have it.

That's not true.

Our point exactly.
We do not have affairs.

Especially not
in the newspapers.

She touched my hand,
and the kiss it was nothing.

No, your parents are right,
Daniel.

You must forgive me,
Your Majesty.

You agree?

Nevertheless, as a result,

the Queen and I have come up
with a solution

which might put
the whispers to rest.

We plan to use the occasion of
this weekend's Spring Gala,

to celebrate the warm friendship
between our two families.

Thank you!

You do know this is
more than a friendship.

We will present your
relationship as an innocent,

Trans-Atlantic friendship.

That will both explain
your friendly connection

and allow you both
to appear at the ball

without unduly raising eyebrows.

Thank you, Your Majesty.

We've also decided to include
your parents, Sara.

To complete the picture.

Bring them here?

Oh, they would love that.

They've already been contacted.

The report is they're pleased.

At least it's assumed
that's what's meant by,

“It's like we won the lottery”.

(EXHALES) Do you think this
could work?

That we could go out
in public together?

It's a start. I told you they'd
come around eventually.

So this Spring Gala...

It's really a big deal?

Along with the Lantern Festival

and the St. Ives' Independence
Celebration.

There'll be music and dancing.

You'll see.

Oh! (SARA LAUGHS)

♪ MUSIC SOARS

Are we doing the right thing
by Daniel, do you think?

There has never been a commoner
in this family.

And as long as I have something
to say about it - and I do -

there never will be.

They can't possibly fit in.

Daniel will see that,
he'll come to his senses.

And this whole business can be
put to rest, once and for all.

I suppose.

Our son will thank us,
eventually.

♪ MUSIC

Oh, Bert, you're not gonna
believe this place.

And everybody's outside.
How friendly.

- Tag me in those.
- You got it.

Mr. And Mrs. DeMarco?

Welcome to St. Ives.
I'm Jackson.

Just Jackson?

Yes, Sir.

It's a pleasure, Jackson.

I'm Bert. My wife, Marie.

- I trust you had a good flight?
- Oh, that was something else.

Have you ever been
on a private jet?

Eh..no, Ma'am,
I can't say I have.

Us, either.
Let alone a royal one.

- Trust me, you'd love it!
- I imagine I would, Ma'am.

Mom, Dad!

Hey, honey! Ha, ha!

Here's our girl.

Oh...

Oh, let me look at YOU!

You're like a magazine cover.

SARA: It's the royal look.
I have my own shopper.

- They go to the store for you?
- They've a royal everything.

A royal shopper, a royal chef,
a royal gardener.

- They don't mow their own lawn?
- Bert don't embarrass yourself.

It's a joke, lighten up, Marie.

Is our luggage safe with them?
I brought my good jewelry.

It's fine.

Bert, Marie!
So glad you're finally here.

Oh, Danny, look how handsome.
And your home is lovely.

I can only imagine

the construction bids
on a place like this.

I mean, at today's prices.

Yes, well, luckily it was built
several hundred years ago

before the cost of labor went
up.

Shall we go inside? My parents
are eager to meet you.

Isn't this fabulous? Have you
ever seen anything like it?

Don't touch anything.

How many bathrooms
does this place have?

JACKSON:
43, Sir. At last count.

Imagine living in a place

where you don't know how many
bathrooms you have.

Your Majesties, may I present
Mr. And Mrs. DeMarco.

Well, since it looks like we're
gonna be family,

Bert and Marie is fine.

Of the New Jersey DeMarcos.

(LAUGHING) Nice to make
your acquaintance.

Uh...Dad!

Dad...

That's not the way they do
things, Bert.

It's quite alright,
Mrs. DeMarco.

What a gentleman. You're a lucky
queen, Your Majesty

Why thank you, Mrs. DeMarco.
I quite agree.

Marie, please.
And I can call you...

Mom...it's Your Majesty.

Oh. Sure.

And my sister,
the Princess Fiona.

- How do you do?
- Your Majesty.

Your Highness.

How'd you keep it all straight?

We're delighted you could join
us on such short notice.

We couldn't exactly sit home!

I mean, an invite like this
doesn't happen every day.

Our lineage goes back
centuries.

That is Daniel's
great-great-grandfather,

King Christopher the 5th.

When the original palace was
nearly destroyed in a war,

he lead the restoration.

Much of the work
with his own hands.

Their family's in construction
too.

As our only son and heir, Daniel
will be King himself one day

and have his own portrait
up there.

Mother, Father,

I'm sure the DeMarcos would like
to go freshen up.

With all this travel, yes.
That would be great.

Right, well until this evening,
then.

No matter what you wear,
you look wonderful, Miss.

I wish I had your style.

(KNOCKING) Anybody home?

Oh uh...hi there.

Mom, Dad, this is Lena,
my lady's maid.

A maid. How nice?
They gave us a butler.

We were just dressing.

- What do you think?
- Oh, like a dream!

How about us?
Do we look okay?

Just perfect.
Maybe a tie for my dad.

Oh! I'll get one for you.

You have a wonderful daughter.

You don't seem quite yourself.

How are you feeling about all
this? Honestly.

Honestly?

It's so surreal and scary.

But I love Daniel
and I know that once we get

his parents' approval,
everything will be fine.

You haven't got that yet?

At least Fiona's on our side.

(SMALL LAUGH)

Turkey meatloaf. Marie?

It's like home cooking

The Chef wanted to surprise you

with one of your daughter's
favorite meals.

“Comfort food”,
I believe he called it.

How thoughtful of Collins.

Surprisingly tasty.

Bert was afraid
it was going to be snails.

Or fish eggs.

I have a sensitive stomach.

You really should try Marie's
lasagna sometime.

I'm happy to share the recipe.

Or make it for you myself.

Just...point me to the kitchen.

And leave a trail of breadcrumbs
So I'm sure to get her back.

(LAUGHTER)

So, Bert, I don't suppose
you're a golfer?

I was considering
a round tomorrow.

Is there a good course nearby?

We have our own.
Here on the property.

Oh, I would enjoy that.
Book it.

I will consider it...booked.

So...our kids.

Gettin' married.

One step at a time.

I remember when Bert and I
were tying the knot.

You've so many decision to make.

Whose furniture to keep.
Do we need both cars?

Live in his place, live in mine?

Well, should Daniel
eventually marry,

those decisions have already
been made for him.

Actually, Sara and I haven't had
a chance to discuss the details.

How best to apply her education,
where we're going to live...

We're hoping Jersey.
After all, Sara's a teacher.

I think New Jersey is an
excellent choice for Sara.

Oh, get an advanced degree and
then the sky's the limit.

Right sweetie?
Maybe a school principal.

Well, for tonight, let's just
enjoy this...

- What did you call it?
- Turkey meatloaf.

Ah yes.

Meatloaf.

Our parents seemed
to hit it off.

Oh, then you weren't paying
attention.

Even with your parents'
permission, how would this work?

You can't rule St. Ives
from across the ocean.

And I want to teach.
Can I even do that here?

Mine is a family steeped in
centuries of tradition...

- There's that word again.
- We have to nod to that.

I'm convinced that we don't
have to give in completely.

- We can make our own way.
- So there's wiggle room?

Wiggle room? I eh...like that
expression.

These things
are important to me.

And that makes them
important to me.

You'll see.

We will have...our happily
ever after.

Goodnight.

You wanted to see me,
Your Highness?

Yes.

I thought we should
put our heads together.

Plan our strategy.

- We have strategy?
- We must.

If you want my parents' approval
to marry my brother.

I see how much Daniel loves you.

But your parents haven't helped
the situation.

Though that was my mother's
idea and I tried to stop it...

You didn't want my parents
to come?

They're charming.
So very...real.

Truly.

But this weekend's Gala
will be crucial.

Your family's every move,
every word.

To make this marriage happen,

every detail must be perfect.

This may be the Jersey in me,

but maybe...is there something
in this for you?

Only my brother's happiness.
And yours, of course.

Sara, Daniel isn't
your fiancé yet.

Nothing is official
until it's official.

You need to take this seriously.

Sara!

- Are you alright?
- Can we go somewhere?

Somewhere normal.

It's...been a really hard day.

Probably not as hard
as my father's.

Bert's trouncing him
on the golf course

and Father's not used to losing.

Can't we sneak off and just be
Danny and Sara for a little bit?

What did you have in mind?

SARA: Mmmm.

DANIEL: I thought you didn't
believe in empty calories.

- When in Rome...
- When in St. Ives.

- Hands off! You have your own.
- I like yours better!

Alright fine, we'll trade.

- What's wrong?
- No, I want mine back.

You're a royal pain,
you know that?

Oh, so we're name-calling
are we?

What happened to the rule

that you're not allowed be upset
with me in public?

You're not the prince
right now.

You're the guy I ran into
at the park that day.

- Quite literally.
- I was reading a text!

Texting and jogging
is lethal combination.

But you said something smart.

I said,
'Look where you're going'.

I said, 'All I can see at the
moment is you.'

One of my best, I think.
Very clever.

Worst pick-up line ever.

PAPARAZZO: They're down here!
DANIEL: Fun's over.

Time for a speedy getaway.

See you, guys.

♪ ACTION MUSIC

(SARA LAUGHS)

I hear we had an
afternoon adventure?

It was everything we needed.

Yes, we almost made it out
unscathed.

C'mon, smile. Nobody got hurt
and we had a good time.

It seems I was not alone
in noting your absence.

The Queen would like a word.

She knows. I'll go talk to her,
straighten it out.

Begging your pardon, Sir.

It's Miss DeMarco
she's asked to see.

Alone.

You don't have to go.

No, it's okay. I'll be fine.

Where is she?

Your Majesty.

Before you say anything,
you should know,

that what happened today
wasn't Daniel's fault.

It was all mine.

Yes, that would be quite outside
what we expect of our son.

But everything
we've come to expect of you.

You don't think much of me,
do you?

We sent our son to America

and he returned
with a woman we had never met,

knew nothing about

and whom he intends to marry.

And somehow, we were expected
to simply accept that.

I've had to make some
adjustments too.

To me, Danny was just a writer

who could have fun
doing the simplest things.

But he's not that man right now,

because he has to be a prince.

However, a prince is who he is.

But not to me.

To me, he's just the man I love.

He could have been a bartender
or a gardener for all I care.

But a prince,

well, that's going to take
some getting used to.

As would being a princess.

Can I ask you something?

Who were you before
you were Queen?

Was this...was this what you
wanted? The palace and all that?

Was this your dream?
Because it wasn't mine.

But Daniel...

He is.

And I hope that you can
accept that.

Because I really don't see
any other option.

Even if it means
ruining my son's future?

How would marrying Daniel...?

Do you think I'm that bad
of an option?

Well, I'm not.

You can ask anyone
who has every met me.

I'm pretty terrific
just as I am.

And no one could ever love
or care for Daniel

as much as I do.

And in case you hadn't noticed,

I'm pretty good at picking up
all these royal rules.

I would make a wonderful wife
for Daniel.

Now, Your Majesty...

Yes?

I should check on my parents.

Jackson, do you have a second?

Of course, Miss.

Between us,

what would happen if Danny
and I were to get married?

He would be very happy,
I would imagine.

No, I mean...

Would there be any consequences?

Of course...he would have
to give up the throne.

He wouldn't be a prince?

Oh, he'd still be a prince.

But by marrying a commoner...
No offence, meant.

He would never be allowed
to rule.

Well then who...?

Fiona.

Being next in line,
she would wear the crown.

It's the St. Ives' tradition.

And Danny can't change that?

Only Their Majesties can do
that. And I feel safe in saying,

that will never happen.

- Is there anything else?
- Uhm, no Jackson.

That's more than enough.

You've been oddly quiet.

Something I should be aware of?

I've been thinking.

We may have underestimated
Miss DeMarco.

I believe I got a glimpse

of the woman
our son fell in love with.

And it's taken me by surprise.

She's quite charming
and she's a lot of spirit.

Reminds me of a girl
I once knew.

Edmund? Do you know I love you?

After all these years,
I should certainly hope so.

You've been
the most wonderful husband

and you've made me happier
than perhaps I deserve.

You deserve the world, my dear.

I'm happy I've been able
to give you at least

a tiny corner of it.

My world is wherever you are.

- And we have a party to attend.
- Mmmm.

♪ CLASSICAL MUSIC PLAYS

Sara will be here any minute and
I really need to speak with you.

Absolutely not. I thought
we were clear on this.

She does look
every inch a princess.

Yes, she does.
And isn't that a shame.

I can't imagine being happier
than we are at this moment.

Well...

I need to say something.
Stop the music, please.

Stop the music.

Everyone, there's something
I'd like to say.

To Sara, but I want you all to
hear it as well.

No Danny, you can't!

You wouldn't.

But he is.

You've heard it in songs and
you've read it in books.

There are poems and paintings
and symphonies

down through history
that stand witness,

to its power over the heart.

Until I met this woman,

I never knew what love
really meant.

With her my life
is brighter and richer

and happier
than I ever thought possible.

And I don't want
this feeling to end. So...

- Sara Angela DeMarco...
- No, Danny!

Daniel...

Your Highness.

I'm sorry...

But no.

Sara...

SARA!

Sara...

Why did you stop me?

Because I know, Danny.

I know that if you marry me,
you lose the throne.

And I won't let you give up
your future for me.

You are my future.

I don't care about the throne.

Yes, you do.

It's your birthright.

I love you, Danny.

And I love this place
and all these people,

but there's no way.

We have no chance
for a happy ending.

Forget them. Forget everything
but you and me.

I dreamt I could change
their minds,

bring St. Ives
into a new century.

And maybe that's not possible.

But there's one thing
I am very clear on.

And that is you.

You are and always will be
my dream.

We both know some dreams
aren't meant to be.

And this is one of them.

Sara, please...

I need to go, Daniel.

But you made me feel very
special for a really long time.

And I've proven
that I can be a princess

as much as anyone without giving
up part of myself.

And I'll always treasure that.

But this dream,

wonderful as it is, it's...

..it's not for me.

Thank you for everything,
Jackson.

If I may say so, I'm going
to miss you around here.

We're all going to miss you.

I know you're not
much of a hugger.

Indeed no.

But I am. So deal with it.

And Lena...

Some cookies. For the road.
Chocolate chip.

I'll bet they're delicious.

Of course they are.
They're your recipe.

(FOOTSTEPS)

Thank you.

I really did have
a lovely time, Your Majesty.

Thank you.

You asked me a question
the other day.

One that I couldn't answer
at the time.

You asked who I was
before I was Queen.

That was so presumptuous...

It was a good question.

I was the daughter
of minor royalty.

A title, not much else.

And then, one afternoon
at the seaside,

I met the most
extraordinary man.

He too, could have been a
gardener or a bartender.

But, as it happened, he was in
line to be King of St. Ives.

So, in a way,
I've been in your shoes.

And I understand you
better than you think.

But things are the way they are.

And for that, I'm truly sorry.

I wish you a happy life, Sara.

Could you do me a favor?

There's a cozy little table
in the drawing room

with a beautiful view.

And...

..maybe you could have a meal
there every now and then.

I'd really love to picture
you all that way.

Don't you want to say goodbye?

We said goodbye last night.

I don't think I could go through
that again.

Daniel...

when I heard you express your
feelings last night,

all I could think was,

I wish someone felt about me
the way you feel about Sara.

And the way she feels about you.

What can I do, Fiona?

I know my duty.
I love St. Ives.

But I love her too.

I thought I could make
that choice for you.

But I was wrong.

Whatever you do now,
is entirely up to you.

Sara!

SARA!

We are all who we are,
my darling.

Not even true love
can change that.

- It was my idea.
- And we all worked on it.

- It's...it's beautiful.
- It's you and the prince.

And what are all these little
pictures?

We put things
that we know you like in.

Spaghetti, flowers, puppies,
coffee.

(SARA GIGGLES)
Look at these tiny sneakers!

You always say be yourself
and this is yourself.

That's true.

Have we had recess yet?

- Five more minutes.
- Let's go a little early.

I won't tell if you don't.
Go on, go outside and play.

Hmmm.

Isn't it cosy?

Much better.

Right, now we can begin.

Collins, what have we here?

Comfort food, Your Majesty.

Marie's lasagna.

Good.
(BAILEY BARKS)

Bailey...Mother!

He's fine.

He brings life to the room.

What harm can it do, hmm?

Is this a break in tradition?

Yes, I suppose it is.

Hand me a fresh dish towel,
will you, baby?

Oh no, don't look at that again.

I've been meaning to put it back
in the scrapbook.

It's okay, Mom,
it's just a picture.

It's a good reminder to be
careful what you wish for.

Whoa!

Oh, watch where you're going!

All I can see at the moment
is you.

Texting and jogging.
A lethal combination.

Daniel...

There's no Daniel here.

I'm just Danny.

And I've brought...

Where are these from?

They were fresh
when I picked them,

but wilted slightly
after the long journey.

Not a word of this to Mother.

You know how she frowns
on such things.

And the horse and carriage?

You have no idea how hard that
was to get in New Jersey.

Sara, I came back to say

what I should have said before
you left.

I'm a traditional man,
but eh...

with your help,
my family has learnt

that some traditions
were made to be broken.

There's a place in my heart
that needs filling

and a new school back home
that needs a principal.

And so...

Daniel!

There is no one, not here,

not in St. Ives,
not anywhere in the world,

that I would rather
spend my life with.

You fill my days with such joy
and my heart with such love.

And without you I am nothing.

So, Sara, will you do me
the great honor

of becoming my wife?

Yes! Yes, absolutely yes!

Wait. Isn't there something
missing?

- What?
- Doves.

There should be doves.

Every great fairytale proposal
has doves!

I forgot the doves!

But what about your parents?

You don't have to give up the
throne?

I was as surprised as you are,

but if you don't believe me, you
can ask them yourself.

Welcome to the family, dear.

Princess Sara!
Long may she reign.

(LAUGHTER)

- That's my daughter.
- Mine too.
