-Abdication.
-You seem surprised.

As head of your security,
I think I would have known.

Does Her Majesty say
when she'd make a decision?

No. Though I imagine
next year's Golden Jubilee

is when she would make
the announcement.

If she chooses to abdicate.

As to when she will decide,

she plans to wait until
the Order of the Lily is over.

That's in a month.
What could she possibly
learn between now and then?

Whether or not
I'm ready to be king.

Are you?

[relaxed music]

What a great show.

Here you go.

Hey, roomie.
I picked up an extra shift
at the diner tonight.

-I should be home by 7:00.
-I'll save you some lasagne.

You're the best.

Ava, who's the new
Little Bo Peep?

Oh, her name's
Kira something.

Erm, I heard that she
was talking to Mr Dole earlier.

Didn't know we were hiring.

Me neither.

I did hear a rumour, though,
that Mr Dole is planning

for her to take over
one of the princess roles.

Seriously?

Oh, but you're fine.

You've been Sweet Pea for ages.

Not exactly reassuring.

Princess roles are usually
in their early 20s

which... I am not.

[phone beeps]

I have to go.

Oh, Lacey.

I left my tiara in again?

I mean, it's cute.

It might get me more tips.

-Bye.
-Bye.

[phone beeps]

Market researcher?
You have a degree.

I have a BA in psychology
so, you know, my options
are a little limited.

Don't you have credits though,
for your Masters?

Credits do not a degree make, my
Little Red Riding Hood roomie.

Mmm. Good lasagne.

So go back and get
the rest of those credits,
what's stopping you?

Time, money,

a small lack of certainty
with what I'll actually do
with that degree.

Well, at least you still
have Princess Sweet Pea.

Yeah, for now.

It's just a rumour,
we don't know if Mr Dole's
planning to retire you.

But if it's not with Kira,
let's face it, it's gonna be
with someone else eventually.

Mark was right about that.

Hey. We don't quote
ex-boyfriends, it's unhealthy.

Yeah, but annoyingly
he had a point.

I can't be
a theme park princess forever.

I'm gonna age out eventually,
and then what?

I don't want to be
the evil queen
or the wicked stepmother.

I got in this job
to make kids smile,
not to scare them.

You'll think of something.

And hey, you're still
the greatest Princess Sweet Pea
of them all.

You're still gonna make
me do the dishes though,
aren't you?

Yes I am.

Miss Daphne said
your French tutor was very proud
of the progress you've made.

Only because Miss Daphne's
helped me study.

What if I don't do as well
when she's gone?

Your next governess will
help you prepare as
Miss Daphne has done.

Does she have to leave?

Miss Daphne's
getting married, darling.
They're going to live in Italy.

I know. I'm going to miss her.

I know you will.

You've got a great deal
on your plate of late,
haven't you?

I couldn't ride again yesterday.

I tried, papa, I truly did.

But I got nervous.

Rosie.

Falling off a horse
would make anyone nervous.

What if I can't ride
for the Order of the Lilies
procession?

I'll be the first one
in the family to fail that.

Mama will be upset with me.

You let me worry about
your grandmother.

You've got a great many things
to worry about as is.

I wish I was braver.

Well I think you're quite brave.

But I don't feel brave.

I read about prince and
princesses in fairytales

and they seem so
much braver than I'll ever be.

Appearances can be deceiving.

I'll bet if you were to talk
with one of those princesses
from the fairytales

she'd tell you
she gets nervous too.

Hmm, you don't believe me,
I see.

Then I shall have to prove it.

-We're going to America.
-America?

Virginia to be exact.

It's absurd, Henry.

It's already been arranged.

The theme park is expecting us
in two days

and we shall stay
there for two days.

Through Rose's birthday.

And what of
your responsibilities

in Bella Moritz?

There are meetings on
the upcoming Order of the Lily

which you are
scheduled to attend.

Nothing will be
altered if I don't.

It's all about
responsibility, Henry.

Consistency. Showing up.

Showing up is all I do, mother.

I barely speak
in those meetings

and don't know my purpose for
being in them most of the time.

But I do know my purpose
as Rose's sole parent.

And she needs this.

What with the pressure
to ride in the procession.

And the upcoming
departure of Miss Daphne
has hit her hard.

Is Rose all right?

She will be.

But as I said,
she needs this break

before she returns to school.

Perhaps she shouldn't.

What?

Return to Ardmore Academy.

Tradition has always been that
the children of royalty are
tutored here at the palace.

We've been over this.

It was Colleen's fervent
request that Rose be educated

amongst her peers.

Which I respect.

However, I'm concerned that
she appears to be struggling.

She's nearly nine years old.

And feels things more keenly
than most children.

Coupled with her
growing royal duties

and the losses
she's already experienced

I think the last thing
she should be is isolated.

Hence our trip to America.

[phone rings]

I need a moment, please.

We shall continue
this discussion on your return.

-When do you depart?
-Tomorrow.

Tomorrow?

And what is the name
of this theme park
you plan to attend?

Emerald Parks,
Once Upon A Time.

[indistinct chatter]

Would you like a tray cake?

[sighs]

Heads up. The stage manager
says Prince Charming's car
broke down

so he won't
be here for the waltz.

Again? That's the third
time this week.

I'll have to grab
someone from the crowd.

Hello, children.

[children] Hello.

I am ever so sorry
to be late

but you see I woke up
with a terrible pain
in my back.

And do you know why?

There was a pea
under my mattress!

[children laughing]

[Princess] Can you believe it?

Well, I'm ever so happy
to see your smiling faces now.

And I must ask
who would like to
join me for a tea party?

[children] Me, me, me!

Really?

She's so pretty, isn't she?

Yes. She is.

Look, here she comes!
She's coming!

Well, hello there.

May I say I love your attire.

It's like your dress.

I can see that.

And what is
your name, princess?

I am Her Royal Highness
Princess Kataronia Rose of
Bella Moritz.

Just Rose, no need for titles.

Au contraire, every little girl
deserves to be a princess.

I am Princess Sweet Pea.

It's a pleasure to meet you,
Princess Rose.

Your tiara's very sparkly.

So's mine,
back home at my palace.

Oh, and what
of the one on your head.

It's pretend.

I can't wear my real one yet

because a princess shouldn't
wear one until she's married.

Is that one of
the rules at Bella Moritz?

It is. Isn't that right, papa?

It is.

And are there royal rules
in your kingdom?

There are.

Well...

The first is that you must read
as many books as you can.

Because books
help us all to learn and grow.

Which is very important.

And the second is that
a princess must find a reason.

Even though there are times
when it may be difficult.

I know.

And when those difficult times
arise, princess, do you find
you get nervous?

Oh yes,
I get nervous all the time.

-You do?
-Yes.

But when I do,
I figured out a few tricks
to help me.

Would you like
to hear about them?

Well first, I breathe in.

And out.

And then I ask myself
'What could be the reason
for me being so nervous?'

Sometimes I talk it out
with a loved one.

But most of the times
I realise that

maybe I need to
change my perspective
on the situation

so that the thing that
I'm nervous about
becomes an opportunity.

And then I imagine
the best possible scenario.

When do you become brave?

That is being brave.

Facing the thing that makes
you scared and doing it anyhow,

that's bravery.

And I'm sure that
you are a very brave girl,
Princess Rose.

[clock chimes]

Now, who would like to join me
in dancing the royal waltz?

[children] Me.

[gasps]

Oh, all of you. Well, come up!

Okay. And who would
like to be my partner?

You should do it, papa.

My papa will do it.
He's so good at dancing.

Have you ever waltzed before?

-Once or twice.
-Perfect.

Perhaps you wouldn't mind
coming up

and helping
me demonstrate the steps.

Lead on.

Actually, as the man,
you would be the-- Oh!

Okay, good.

You do know what you're doing.

Thank you for
what you said to Rose.

It was exactly what
she needed to hear.

Good. I'm glad.

Goodbye.

Goodbye little princesses.

[Henry] Rosie.

Thank you so
very much, princess.

I shall never forget today.

And nor will I, Princess Rose.

How was the tea party?

Princess Sweet Pea
told me I was brave.

Did she? That was nice of her.

Then papa danced with her.

Aye.

Now I wish I'd
accompanied you into the room.

We were quite safe, thank you.

I'm less concerned
for your safety

than the opportunity
missed to see you dance

with the Princess Sweet Pea.

She's wonderful.

Papa, may we come back
to see her tomorrow?

There's still the rest
of the park left to see
before we return home.

Well, as tomorrow
is your birthday...

perhaps we can
find a compromise.

[man] It is highly unusual.

Yes, you said that
already, Mr Veron.

And what are we to say
to the Canadian tourism
contingent

when Prince Henry is
not at our meeting tomorrow?

That he's in North America
doing research on tourism.

Personally.

If I may say,
Your Royal Majesty

it risks the appearance
of poor form

on the part of His Highness.

I'm quite aware.

There is something else
that you want to say?

It's really not
my place, Ma'am.

Mr Veron, Lionel.

You have been my most
trusted advisor for 20 years.

As was your father before.

Speak with candour

or learn to better school
your expressions.

Given your contemplation
of your future as sovereign

I can't help but note this
as yet another example

of Prince Henry's
unreadiness to assume
the crown any time soon

His lack of interest or even
attention at the meetings he
does attend is quite apparent.

To many.

Thank you for your candour.

I shall keep it in mind.

Ma'am.

You always get the fun guests.

Mine dropped terrible puns
about being the big bad wolf

and I wound up
having to call security.

Well I'm not sure I'd call
baseball cap dad fun

though he was easily the best
guest dancer I've ever had.

And he was really good
with his daughter, too.

Oh, Princess Rose.

She was adorable.

You're so good with kids.

I do wonder what
the difficult thing
she's going through is.

That's the tricky part
about what we do.

We never get the full story.

Yeah.

Lacey.
Oh good, you're in costume.

I'm gonna need you to
come with me right away.

Oh. My tea party's
about to start.

I replaced you.

Replaced?

Just for the day.

I've already instructed
the signage be switched

from Princess Sweet Pea
to Little Bo Peep.

Am I in trouble?

No, no. Not at all.

In fact, I am counting
on you to help me

with a delicate situation
with a high-profile VIP.

Okay.

I'm gonna need you to be
their personal guide

through the park for the day,

take them on any
rides and attractions,
anything they want.

But as Princess Sweet Pea.

Okay.

Who is it?

Hello again.

Hello.

Princess Sweet Pea,
it is my sincere pleasure
to present

their Royal Highnesses,
the Crown Prince,
Henry Frederik Augustus Sabine

and Princess Katrina Rose
of Bella Moritz.

It's a pleasure to formally
meet you both.

Oh no, please.
You don't have to.

Okay.

I told you I was a princess.

So you did.

This is Ian,
my head of security.

Ma'am.

Security.

This is a last-minute change
in our itinerary

and I thank
you both for your indulgence.

You see, Rose here was
quite taken with
Princess Sweet Pea

and was hoping to spend
more time together
for her birthday.

I'm nine today.

And we are gonna
make that happen.

Princess Sweet Pea is gonna
be your personal guide for
the duration of your visit

to Once Upon A Time.

Because after all, this...

this...

Is where fairytales come true.

So much for our attempts
at staying under the radar.

You were aware this would
likely happen if we did this.

I know,
but look how happy Rose is.

I haven't seen
her smile like this
in far too long.

Shall I inform Her Majesty
that your presence here
is most likely uncovered?

No.

Let the palace find out
whenever it happens.

I'm not concerned about
a scandal surrounding
our attendance

at an American theme park.

Even with Princess Sweet Pea
as our most able guide?

I'm fairly certain that's
an anti-scandal.

This is one of
my favourite rides.

Rose is afraid of horses.
She had a bit of a fall
a couple of months ago.

It's shaken her.

Oh, I see.

Well I wouldn't want to
do anything that would
cause you to be afraid.

I know they're not real,
but do horses scare you?

They used to.

But then I realised,
just like people, you just
have to get to know them.

When I was your age
I used to love riding.

Any time I was feeling sad
it would help me forget
all my worries.

That sounds nice.

It was.

Will you ride with me?

Of course.

I'll be right by your side.

It's okay.

All right, let's see.

Oh, you're joining us?

Wouldn't miss it.

I wish you could be there
when I ride in the ceremony.

Well if you get nervous
you can just close your eyes
and think of me

and I'll be right there.

-Are you ready?
-Ready.

You got this.

Not so bad, right?

Yeah.

So I was thinking I could take
Rose on the Swan Princess
river cruise next.

If that is acceptable to
Your Royal Highness.

Henry, please.

Okay, Henry.

May I ask you a question?

Of course.

What is your real name?

It's Lacey Pope.

Although I'm not
supposed to break character.

My boss, Mr Dole, is
very serious about that rule.

Well, your secret
is safe with me.

Your help with Rose
at the carousel was tremendous.

She responds better to you
than most people.

Oh, well she's so easy.

And I get it, falling off
of a horse is scary.

It is, but I suspect
that's not the only reason.

What else is it?

In a few weeks, my country
has a grand procession known
as the Order of the Lily.

It's a ceremonial event
which has been held once a year
going back to the 15th century.

After procession,
there's a grand ball
at the castle.

"Grand ball." "The castle."
Okay, wow.

It's an event with great
traditional resonance.

And for sovereign children
at least nine years old,

it marks the entry
of their service to the realm.

Nine years?
That's so young.

That's part of the tradition.

Connor the Second
was the king who established
the Order of the Lily.

So Rose is expected to
ride in this procession?

That is the hope.

-Can she just not?
-Certainly.

I would not force
my child to do anything that
would cause her great fear.

That's good.

And how would that go
over back home if she didn't?

Not well. In many regards.

So you think that Rose's
fear of horses is tied to--

Growing pressure from
a great many angles
to perform

and do what is expected of her.

Hmm.

She's so young.

Thank you

for doing this.

-Papa.
-Ah.

They have orange cheese
on their fries.

How disgusting! Let me try one.

Well, it's not a birthday
without a cake.

Too true.

I think this might be
my favourite birthday ever.
Thank you so very much.

Thank you for
sharing it with me.

Are you about to be impulsive?

It's not impulsive
if I know I'm right.

So yes.

Rose. Ian's going
to take you to the car.

I'd like a brief word
in private with the princess.
The taller one.

Ma'am.

I have a proposition for you.

No, not that kind.

You have a way with Rose
that goes beyond your
princess persona.

She likes you, Lacey.

She's also about to face
a very difficult challenge

in her very young life.

And I believe it is
a challenge with which
you can be of assistance.

Me, how?

By helping prepare
her to ride in the procession
for the Order of the Lily.

Help grow her confidence
as you did on the carousel.

I don't understand.

I'd like you to come
to Bella Moritz.

[Ava] Tell me you said yes.

I said yes after I made sure
that all my shifts at the diner
were covered

given that I'm gonna
be gone for so long.

Three weeks.

And you haven't had a real
vacation in the seven years

since you've been working at
the diner or the park.

You're due.

It's true.
Though Henry is paying me.

How much?

Double what I would have made
during the same time
at both jobs.

Nice. And you get to
stay in a palace

and go to a ball
like a real princess.

You'll probably come back
an even better
Princess Sweet Pea.

Or engaged to a handsome duke.

Unless Mr Dole uses my time
away to have Kira take over
as Princess Sweet Pea.

If he does, you can
remind him you're his best
connection to Bella Moritz.

He did give me one caveat.

I have to go as Lacey Pope and
not do anything that might

connect me to
Princess Sweet Pea.

Oh.

Right, so you don't break...

[both] the fourth wall
for future guests.

Yeah.

Mr Dole's such a weird
stickler for that rule.

I know.
Remember when he fired Scott

for posting a photo
of himself in his
Jack and the Beanstalk costume?

Yes. That was awful.

Though, who's gonna
know about Sweet Pea
where you're going?

Besides, the prince
and his daughter... Wait.

Is there a wife princess
or whatever?

No, so I did a Google
deep dive last night.

Turns out that Princess Colleen
died of cancer four years ago.

That makes what you're
doing for Rose
even more important.

Yeah, it does.

So, what are you
wearing to the ball?

Oh. I hadn't even
thought about that yet.

Time to visit
the costume department.

Okay, you're scaring me.

I'm so happy that
Lacey's coming over.
Thank you, papa.

Of course.

Hello mother.

Mama.

Hello my lovely Rosie.

Now, tell me all about
your adventure in America.

It was so fun and so lovely.

What was so lovely?

We went to
Once Upon A Time land
in Emerald Park

and Princess Sweet Pea
showed us around
the whole park.

I even rode a carousel.

I was a bit afraid
even though the horses
weren't real.

But she helped me be brave.

Oh, how nice of
Princess Sweet Pea.

She is nice.

But her real name is Lacey Pope
which papa said we should
call her by when she's here.

I planned to tell you.

We are to have a guest?

We are.

When?

Tomorrow.

Rosie, it's getting late.
Why don't you
get ready for bed?

Okay. Good night, mama.

Aww. Good night, my dear.

I need you to take
your responsibilities
seriously.

What do you mean?

Well last month you skipped
the Commonwealth Ball entirely.

I had food poisoning.

The month before that
you went off to
the hunting lodges

in the north region at
the exact time the Duke of
Kenmore was visiting.

He's a dreadful bore.

You've missed over a dozen
meetings whilst you were away

and now I hear you've
brought home someone
from America.

Her name is Lacey.

And I hired her to help Rose

to overcome her fears in time
to ride in the procession.

Is she an expert on horses?

No.

But she does ride,
and most important

Rose responds better to her
than I've seen her respond to
anyone in years.

Even Miss Daphne.

Are you sure this is
the correct course of action?

I am.

We shall discuss this later.

What do you think?

[gasps]

So pretty.

So crazy.

Crazy good.
I can't believe it.

This kind of stuff never
happens to Red Riding Hood.

All I get are
the big bad wolves.

It's a first for
Princess Sweet Pea too.

[Ava] I think it's just
what you need.

How?

You've been in the same rut
for such a long time.

Maybe this will
shake things up a little.

Oh! The car's already here.

Oh. Err...

Okay.

-Got everything.
-Yeah.

Okay.

[knocking on door]

[Ian] Henry, it's Ian.

Come in.

How do I look?

Why are you asking
me that question?

Very good point.

Miss Pope is here.

She is?

Ah.

Ah what?

Now I know
why you asked me that question.

Don't be ridiculous.
She's here to help Rose
which is crucial.

How did Her Majesty
take the news?

It's a...

work in progress.

-Lacey.
-Oh.

-Hi.
-Hi.

This is the first time
I've seen you as you.

Oh. Well, I wish I hadn't just
gotten off a ten-hour flight.

You look beautiful.

You don't look so bad yourself.

Which I probably
shouldn't say to a prince.

Marie. Would you be kind enough
to take Miss Pope's luggage
to her room, please.

Thank you.

Lacey.

Hello. I can't believe you
recognise me

without my Princess Sweet Pea
ball gown on.

Of course. You're even
prettier as Lacey.

What? Thank you.
What high praise.

This is Miss Daphne,
my governess.

-Hi.
-Pleasure to
meet you, Miss Pope.

I'm helping out with Rose
while her nanny is on holiday.

Lacey. Do you want to
join me for supper?

Cook is making
cuisses de grenouille.

Frog's legs.

Oh.

Rosie. Why don't we let
Lacey settle in first.

She's had a long flight
from Virginia.

I can ask cook to
leave you some if you'd like.

That is so thoughtful
but I ate on
the plane ride over.

Okay.

Rosie. Remember
Lieutenant Collins will be here

tomorrow morning
at 10:00 am at the paddocks.

He's a riding instructor
for the Bella Moritz cavalry.

-Hmm.
-And has been working
with Rose these past weeks.

Well I look forward
to meeting him
and working with Rose.

In the meantime, Miss Daphne

would you be kind enough
to accompany Rose
to get her beloved frog's legs?

Of course, Your Highness.

Bye.

She's so excited to see you.

I'm so excited to see her.

[Eloise] Henry.

Mother. This is Lacey Pope.

Your Majesty.

Er, welcome to
Bella Moritz, Miss Pope.

Henry, I have a moment before
I must leave for my lunch
with Ambassador Barrington.

I'm terribly sorry.

Marie, would you mind
accompanying Miss Pope
to her room, please.

Thank you.

-See you later.
-See you.

Whoa.

Oh. Hi. You're waiting for me.

Hi.

To bring a woman who you
barely know here to the palace

it speaks to your judgement,
Henry. It's poor form.

Ian did a background check.

What, before or after
you invited her?

After, but it proved
what I instinctively knew.

She's a good person
who has
the potential to help Rose.

-Yes, Henry, but there are
better ways--
-Mother.

Lacey will only be here
for three weeks through
the Order of the Lily.

We all agree how important
it is for Rose to ride
in the procession

for tradition but also
for her own self confidence.

Yes, but we must not also
coddle Rose, lest it lead to
future challenges.

Her role will not become
easier as she grows older.

As a member of royalty
it requires self-discipline.

Responsibility.

I believe she
has those qualities.

Yes, well that
remains to be seen.

We must also
address her education.

If we are to find her
a proper tutor we must
begin the search at once.

I do not want Rose
to be tutored, I want her
to return to her school.

Yes but part of our condition
is doing what we
do not want to do

because it is the correct
course of action.

All royals were
tutored at this palace.

I was. As were you.

Father wasn't.

Edward was not royal.

We have our traditions
to uphold.

And I believe with
forthcoming departure
of Miss Daphne

there is an opportunity
to bring Rose back here.

As she should have
been all along.

Mother, I have so little
control over most things.

My purpose in life,
how I present to the world.

I should at least have
the final say on how
my daughter is educated.

Is your life that bad?

No, of course not,
I'm privileged,
I know that, but...

sometimes I feel
I serve the same
purpose as decoration

brought out from time to time
as needed, then put back on
the shelf until the next event.

At least with Rose
I can have a true impact.

All right then,
well let's consider this.

Your judgement is
this Lacey Pope can be the one

to help Rose overcome her fears
in time to ride in
the Order of the Lily.

-Yes?
-Yes.

Fine.

Well if she succeeds
I will honour your wishes

and Rose will remain
at Ardmore Academy.

-And if she doesn't?
-We will move her education
into the palace with a tutor.

And you will consider
my judgement flawed.

Which I suspect will
influence your decision
on abdication.

How could it not?

I agree to this.

And Henry...

for all our sakes...

I do hope Miss Pope succeeds.

[sighs]

[Ava] How is it?

Like I walked into Bridgerton
with a side of Outlander.

Nice.

-Have you met the queen yet?
- Briefly.

I'm pretty sure I curtsied
wrong if the look she gave me
was any indication.

Will you interact
with her much?

Not sure.

My job is to grow Rose's
confidence

and get her
comfortable riding

so that make me the help.

Did Henry treat
you like the help?

No.

Hold up.
Did you just blush?

What? No.
You know I don't blush.

Kind of do if a person
knows you well enough.

Okay, well I was just
thinking that...

Henry and Rose treat me
like I'm more of a guest

or at least
they did yesterday, so...

we'll see how today goes.

Oh! Exciting.

Hi.

Hello. I'm a little bit lost.
Can you tell me
where the stables are?

And you are?

Oh, I'm Lacey Pope.

I'm a guest of
Henry and Rose's.

Prince Henry and Princess Rose.

Right. Yes.

From America?

Yes. Accent gave
me away, huh?

Huh, indeed.

You'll find the stables
past the North Gardens.

Oh amazing, thank you.

Erm...

Sorry, which direction is that?

Traditionally the North Gardens
have always been maintained
to the north.

Thank you.

You don't have like
a map of this place,
do you?

They're just really handy
for big places like this,
you know?

Castles, theme parks.

We do not, no.

Just something to think about.

I'll take it under advisement.

[man] The high contracting
parties establish among
themselves a European union

here and after called
The Union.

[clears throat]

...here and after called
The Union.

On which the member states
confer competences

to attain objectives
they have in common.

[man] This treaty...

Sorry I'm late.

Got a little lost.

Yes, well as I was saying.

The Order of the Lily
full procession

will start at the palace
and go through Glenree.

That's the main part
of Bella Moritz.

Like Monte Carlo to Monaco.

Aye.

After which we shall
return to the palace.

Fortunately Bella Moritz
is not a large principality

so Princess Rose's journey
will not be a long one
on Chester here.

Rose, have you ridden
Chester before?

She has.

She took a wee
spill a while ago but
it happens to the best of us.

Well, does Rose
have to ride
Chester for the procession?

Well he is one of our best.

I'm sure he is,
but perhaps there's another...

smaller horse, like that one.

Ah, Brownie.

She's my own.
She's a sweetheart.

Wonderful. Is she trained
for ceremonial processions?

Aye. She's been through
noise and movement trainings

but she's not officially
in the cavalry.

Well, could she be?

Just this once?

I-- I-- I suppose
it would be possible.

Great. Rose.

Would you prefer
to ride on a smaller horse?

Would you like to say hello
to Brownie, just to be sure?

Will you come with me?

Of course.
I'll be right by your side.

Brownie it is.

Wanna try right here?

Yeah.

[Henry] Over already?

-[Lacey] Hi.
-Hi.

Rose was brave enough
to pet the horse, so...

no need to push her more
on her first day.

Aren't you supposed
to be in a royal meeting?

I shall ignore those
air quotes there

as I'll have you know
I've already been
in three today, thank you.

My next one's in 30 minutes.

Fancy a tour of the palace?

After all, you showed me
your kingdom.

Seems only fair I should
do the same for you.

I would like that very much.

As someone
once said to me, lead on.

Oh, oh.

Looks like you're a natural.

Looks like I am.

So, what is the best part
of being a prince?

Aside from living
in a place like this.

The people of Bella Moritz.

The human connection
if you will.

All too often I feel
as if I'm isolated from them.

Don't you ever go out
and meet them?

You know,
shake hands, kiss babies.

Occasionally shaking hands,
never kissing babies.

It's not how
royalty operates here.

Well, how does it operate?

For those of us
who only wear a pretend crown.

Royalty is to project
an air of comfort
for the people.

Which is created through
distance and mystery.

Aspirational.

Never known anyone who's been
comforted from a distance.

You know, that's why I'm always
kneeling or sitting down

when I'm with the children
as Princess Sweet Pea
to connect with them.

Sorry, I'm sure it's,
you know, completely different.

Connection is connection.

Can't you change
how thing are done?

I'd very much like to
but there are obstructions.

Like what?

Not what. Who.

My mother for one.

She has a singular vision
for the way in which
royalty should behave.

Guided in no small part
by her carder of advisors.

[Lacey] Hmm.

What's a carder?

We really should
get started, ma'am.

Let's proceed with the meeting.

Article 60.

The council shall, jointly
with European parliament...

Er, this is the portrait room.

Hmm. Portrait room.
I didn't know that was a thing.

That is King Connor.

Oh, the one who started
the Order of the Lily?

The very one.

Do you all have to dress
like that for the procession?

Not quite.
Though it is very fancy.

Well, if there's a ball
afterwards, I guess it
would have to be fancy.

It's where I honed
my waltzing skills.

Hmm. That's why
you're so smooth.

Was I the best dad
with whom you've danced?

Princess never tells.

Who's that?

She's beautiful.

That is Colleen.

My late wife.

I'm sorry for Rose
that she won't have
gotten to fully know her.

Rose was four
when Colleen passed.

Reminds me of
when my mum got sick.

I was right around Rose's age.

My mum made it through,
but it was one of the hardest
times of my life.

Were those the sad times
you mentioned to Rose
at the carousel?

Yeah.

My dad and I
either spent our time
riding or at the hospital.

Which is also when I met
my first fairytale princess.

How did that happen?

Well, the park has a programme
where cast members go to
hospitals to visit children

or those whose loved ones
are going through difficulties.

Just helps
cheer them up, you know?

And I remember them
being so kind and generous.

I remember this one Snow White
and she told me that

even the saddest stories
eventually had happy endings.

Just had to have
faith and hope.

Is that what inspired you
to be a fairytale princess
at the park?

Yeah.

Those characters were like
these rays of sunshine
when I needed them the most.

And so, I always wanted to be
that for someone else
if I could.

Which...

as silly as it sounds,
being Princess Sweet Pea
has allowed me to do.

I can't imagine a better reason
to be a princess.

I remembered one of your rules
for being a princess is to read
as many books as possible.

Reading helps
us all learn and grow.

I know where I'll
be spending my free time.

May I?

Please.
Books are meant to be read.

Sadly, not enough of these are.

Sometimes I wish I could
open this room to the public.

So they don't sit here
unused and unloved.

That's a great idea.
Why don't you?

Mother would never go for it.

My father once suggested
opening parts of
the palace to visitors

and she was not having it.

Why not?
I've visited Buckingham Palace.

That is but one of many
estates owned by the royals
of Great Britain.

Our estate here is our
primary residence.

The tradition has been
to keep it private.

Hmm.

And how do you feel about that?

I believe in privacy
for certain parts

but I don't see the harm
in opening some of our doors.

I'm a bit more like my father
in that I suppose.

He was the prince consort.

Neither born into royalty
or the aristocracy.

What was he?

A pilot.

My mother's pilot to be exact.

They fell in love

when father was flying mother
around the world.

While theirs was
a happy marriage

papa chafed the restrictions
he felt himself under.

Must have been hard on him.

Oh, he found his ways to rebel.

How?

We have a long standing
farmers market in Glenree.

Papa would put on disguises
and go there to interact
with the townspeople.

I'd accompany him sometimes.

Were you wearing
a disguise yourself?

Quite often, yes.

Do you still go
to the farmers market?

No. I stopped at 16.
When my father passed.

Didn't seem as interesting
without him.

Okay, what do you think?

Where are the colonel
and Miss Daphne?

I told them not to come.
I just wanted it
to be me and you.

You know, I was thinking about
how brave you were

the day that you rode
the horses on the carousel.

Then I remembered how colourful
those horses were.

She looks pretty like that.

Are you feeling
a lot of pressure?

You know, your dad told me
that he would never force you
to do anything

that would make you fearful.

You're the most important
thing to him.

And if that means
that you don't want to
ride in the procession

then you don't have to.

But you came all the way here
to help me.

And if helping you means
letting you know that you
don't have to ride

then I've done my job.

The important thing
is that you feel safe.

I felt safe on the carousel.

With you.

Good.

What if I sat in the saddle
and you held on to the reigns

and we didn't go anywhere?

I think that's a great idea.

Grab it right there.

Yeah. Nice.

How do you feel?

A little scared but not as much.

I like Brownie
more than Chester.

Good. Do you feel safe?

Maybe we could
walk around the stables.

If you lead.

Of course.

We'll go really slow
and remember I'm right here.

Right. Come on, Brownie.

[Ava] Do you think Rose
will ride in the procession?

I honestly don't know.
She's still several days out
and she's making progress

but will it be enough?

Oh, I hope she does,
I'm invested.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Wait, did I just see a
Princess Sweet Pea
in the background?

Oh yeah, it's Kira.
She just started substituting
for you in the tea room.

But she swears
it's only until you get back.

Should I be worried?

I'm not sure yet.

But I've got
my eyes peeled for you.

-So you're the one--
-Oh!

Er, Your Highness.

For the sake of brevity
you needn't curtsy so formally.

A simple nod will suffice.

Got ya.

That's just how I was taught.

Though usually it's
everyone else curtsying at me.

Is that so?

Just at my day job.

What book did you return?

Oh, that was
the Scarlet Feather
by Maeve Bin-- Bin--

Binchy.

-Binchy.
-Maeve Binchy.

-Binchy.
-Hmm.

Did you like it?

Yes.

Firefly Summer's
my favourite of hers.

Well that sounds great.
Is that-- that's also here?

Well of course it's here,
where else would it be?

I don't know. Of course it is.

Erm, well I will have to
add that to my list
which is very long

because I am a reader.

Just like you.

Okay, well I think
I'm going to skedaddle now.

That means leave.

I know what it means.

It's an old word.
I'm surprised you use it.

Oh, I got it from my dad.

Hmm.

Hmm. Okay.

Well, yeah thank you
Your Highness,
Your Royal Highness, Majesty.

Bye.

Odd girl.

[man] Er, Your Highness.
A word, if you please.

As regards
the Order of the Lily
and the princess

has it yet been decided whether
Princess Rose will be riding

alongside you in
the Cavalry Guards

or will she continue to ride
with Her Majesty
in the royal carriage?

The plan is for
the princess to ride.

And if for any reason
she does not,

Princess Rose will join
her grandmother
in the carriage.

It would be better to determine
that now.

The carriage holds
a limited number of people.

Aside from the queen and myself

there are only two spaces
reserved for those involved in
vestiture ceremony.

Then I'm sure you wouldn't mind
giving up your place to walk
behind the carriage

with the rest
of the procession.

Walk.

What's this?

Lacey said we could have
a picnic tea party since I rode
all by myself today.

You did?

Around the paddocks.

Twice.

That is wonderful news
to hear.

Any chance I might
join this picnic tea party?

What have you got in here?

Well you're about to find out.

[phone notification sound]

Am I correct that this is
the same woman who
is staying at the palace?

It is.

Miss Pope is staying in
the upper ward.

Rumour has it Prince Henry
brought her over here to help
Princess Rose's preparations

for the procession.

To overcome her fear of horses.

Yes.

There was no one
in Bella Moritz who
could assist with this?

Apparently not.

Out with it.

Well forgive me, Your Majesty,

but bet on the image you see
here before you

these are two people
who quite clearly
have a romantic connection.

One which I very much doubt
the people of Bella Moritz
will support.

We do not know
that to be true.

That the people would
not support the heir to
the throne dating an American?

Or that Prince Henry and this
Miss Pope quite clearly
have a romantic connection?

Based on an image captured

in an instant
by some theme park guest.

Which only through
blind fortune
has not been widely published.

True.

But if they were to be
photographed together again

tongues will wag.

I will speak to Henry.

Send me the picture please.

It's like a Mary Poppins
picnic basket.
What else is in here?

Honestly, I am not
entirely sure.
The cook packed it for us.

I asked her to make
cucumber and mint sandwiches.

They're my favourite.

Better than frog's legs.

Well, some of my favourite
parties have been tea parties.

Pinkies out.

Is that a thing?

Every kingdom has its rules.

Right.

[Lacey] Hmm.

I was thinking about
our conversation.

-Which one?
-About connection

and how
no one can be comforted
from a distance.

I would like to go into
Glenree. For a walkabout.

Perhaps you'd
like to come with me?

I'd love to.
I-- I haven't been yet.

Fantastic.

Mama.

What do we have here?

We're having a tea party.

Pinkies out.

Rose rode Brownie solo
so we're celebrating.

Hmm.

Did you know Lacey
has tea parties at her castle?

-It's part of my show.
-And waltzing.

Papa and Lacey
waltzed together.

Also part of your, er, show?

Sometimes.
Would you like some tea?

No, thank you.

And Rose, I'm so proud of you
for your accomplishment today.

Thank you.

Henry, might I have
a word with you in my office.

There's something
we need to discuss.

I shall send someone
to help you carry this
back to the palace.

Thank you.

Where did you get this?

Mr Veron has
deep contacts with the press.
They alerted him.

-It hasn't been published?
-No, Veron pulled strings.

But I suspect
the reprieve is temporary.

Let them publish it.
We've done nothing wrong.

Henry.
It's not as simple as that.

Lacey is the first woman
you have been photographed
within years.

-And now she's in Bella Moritz.
-To help Rose.

Well that photo implies
otherwise, right or wrong.

And there no doubt
will be other photographs

once they learn that
she is in the palace.

I'm sure there will be.
But I'm not going to
run away from Lacey's presence

on the basis of what
others might think.

-And I'm not
going to send her home.
-I did not suggest that.

Nor would I.

She has done wonders for Rose,
I do see that.

-You do?
-Yes.

But you invite gossip, Henry.

There's gossip whether
I date or don't date.

Oh, so you are dating
Miss Pope?

-I didn't say that.
-Well you didn't deny it either.

Consider taking Lady Sophia
out for dinner--

-Abso--
-Only to be photographed.

It will redirect the press
away from Lacey

until she returns to America.

Absolutely not.

And if anyone wants
a comment on Lacey
we shall tell them the truth

that she is here to help.
That is all.

Lady Sophia.

It's Queen Eloise.

[Lacey] Does the disguise
really work here?

We'll find out.

It's definitely better
than the moustache I tried once.

Not your look?

Decidedly not.

Your country is so adorable.

I feel like I'm in a...

Don't laugh at this,
but I feel like
I'm in a fairytale.

When I get to see it
through the eyes of someone
for whom this is all new

I remember
how fortunate I am to call
Bella Moritz my home.

And the connection
you mentioned.

That's what
I've been lacking, I think.

I hadn't been able
to articulate it until
we had our conversation

but I haven't felt truly
connected to Bella Moritz.

For quite some time.

And how would that change
once you're king?

No one's ever asked
me that before.

I think I'd like
to open things up more.

Both the palace to the people
and the principality
to the world.

Bella Moritz
tends to be overlooked.

Because we're small.

Oh, but your country
is so beautiful.

I mean, I am giving
it five stars.

I'm very glad to hear that.

And if I may say...

I'm...

very glad you're here.

Well, I'm glad I'm here too.

-Ice cream.
-Thanks.

I'd pay,
but I haven't got a wallet.

Hmm, likely story.

Rose would be most jealous
she couldn't come
with us and eat ice cream.

Oh, I know.
I think she'd look so cute with
a little ice cream moustache.

You make me laugh.
How are you not taken?

That's presumptuous of me.

No, I'm not dating anybody.

I mean, I was
until a few months ago.

We broke up because
he didn't like me playing
Princess Sweet Pea.

He thought it was embarrassing.

What's to be
embarrassed about?

You bring joy to so many people.

Thanks, but...

look, I know
it's not a real career.

It's just something I fell into
while I was waiting to do
my Masters programme.

In what field?

Psychology.

Yeah, I've always been
interested in what makes
people tick and feel

so I earned my Bachelors
and then I didn't get into
the Master's programme I wanted

which meant that I needed a job.

And thus Princess Sweet Pea.

Mm-hmm.

I mean, it pays well,
it has full benefits

but most of all
I just love
working with the kids.

But it isn't ultimately what
you want to do?

You know, it's more that
I can't be a theme park
princess forever.

There's an age limit, so...

I have to figure out
what my next step will be.

Lacey.

You possess intelligence,
empathy and kindness.

Those are great qualities
that will take you as far
as you wish to go.

And in terms of
next steps, well...

you could always
stay in Bella Moritz.

Until you
determine what that is.

I know Rose would be ecstatic.

And how would
you feel about that?

[man] Look, it's the prince!

Er, it's all right.
Hello everyone.

It's alright. Hi everyone.

Okay, we don't mob a prince.

All right. If you wish to greet
or to take a photo
with His Royal Highness

please form a line.

and wait your turn, understood?

Okay, we'll start with you.

[Henry] Oh, okay. That was

very impressive.

Erm, hi.

Hi everyone.
Nice to see you all.

[Henry] There we are.

-Hi. What's your name?
-Alanna.

Alanna?

That's a lovely name.

[Henry] That was exhilarating.

Is that what it's like
for you when you host
an event at the park?

My events are much
less chaotic.

This was productive too.
When the Order of the Lily
is over

I'm going to work
to implement some of
the changes we discussed.

I had no idea
there's so much interest
to tour the palace.

We should have
opened it up long ago.

I'm so glad it was productive.

You sure did
get your photo taken a lot.

We both did.

But I should tell you
it's not the first time.

What do you mean?

Someone took a photo of us
at Once Upon A Time.

Er, when I was in costume?

Yes.

There's a chance
it could hit the media.

But with me as
Princess Sweet Pea,
not Lacey Pope, right?

Possibly both.

Oh, no.

What's wrong?

Mr Dole has this policy
where no cast member
can be linked

to the character
that they play.

That's why we don't have
any photos of ourselves
in costume on our social media.

To create the illusion
that the characters are real.

I see. I'm so sorry.

Do you really think
they'll publish the photo?

No. And there may be
a way to see that they don't.

Hello, dear.

I've reconsidered
your suggestion
about dinner with Sophia.

Excellent.

Your reservation
is for tomorrow evening
at Maestral.

You already made
the reservation?

One should always prepare
for every scenario.

Bye.

What was that about?

If I may, you look like you did
when you were forced to eat
frog's legs as a child.

Are you sure you
want to go on this date?

It's not a date.

It's merely dinner with a woman

who my mother and her advisors
deem acceptable for me.

Unlike a certain American.

Henry.

It's been a long time since

I've seen you look at a woman
the way you look at Lacey.

I'd hate to see
you run from that.

I'm not running from anything.
I'm doing this for Lacey

to deflect attention from her.

Does she know that?

Lacey.

Hi.

Hi.

I was just coming
to say goodnight to Rose.

Oh, she's fast asleep.

Did you have a slumber party?

We did.
We built a fort out of pillows
and we ate lots of ice cream.

Good.

How was your dinner?

Fine.

Lady Sophia has always been
a charming dinner companion.

Though we did end early
so she could catch a flight
for her ski vacation

with her boyfriend.

Boyfriend?

Why did she go out
to dinner with you then?

For the same reason
I had dinner with her.

To appease others.

Her boyfriend is
a ski instructor
and her parents don't approve

because he's not of their...

station.

Hmm.

It occurs to me
when I gave you the tour

of the palace the other day

I failed to show you
my favourite place.

I used to come here
all the time
when I was younger.

Drove mum mad
when she couldn't find me.

But it was a place
that felt like mine.

I still try to sneak away
if I'm able.

I can see why.

Thanks for sharing
this with me.

You know, Lacey,

when I was out tonight...

You were all
I could think about.

Rose, I promise
you'll be absolutely fine.

There is
nothing to worry about.

[Lacey] Rose!

Are you ready?

Will you ride with me?

I'm not in the cavalry, honey.

Please, like with the carousel.

Excuse me.
We're going to need you

to give us your uniform.
And your horse.

[horse neighing]

The procession will commence
presently, Ma'am.

And is Rose
joining us in the carriage?

Or is she
riding in the procession?

[horses neighing]

Your Highness.
Shall Princess Rose

be joining us in the carriage
this morning?

I'll be right next to you.

I'm so proud of you, Rose.

Thank you, papa.

[crowd cheering]

-Hello.
-Oh, hi.

You make
an impressive cavalry guard.

Oh, this old thing?
Wait till you see my ball gown.

I'm looking forward to it.

Where's Rose?

She's resting.

It's been
a really big day for her.

Yes it was.

I have to go and greet
some dignitaries.

Of course, yeah.

Go do your prince thing.

That was quite
a trick you managed.

Trick?

Riding alongside Rose
and Henry at the procession.

With all due respect
it wasn't a trick,

I was just trying to comfort
a nervous little girl.

It worked.

To great success.

We shall
talk more later, Miss Pope.

It was a trick though,
was it not?

A way for you to curry favour
with the prince and his family.

-Who are you?
-I'm Lionel Veron,
privy council to the queen.

And as such, I sincerely hope
you appreciate it when I say

that we thank you
for all that you have done
to help Princess Rose

through this momentous
period in her life.

And that now
it is time for you to go.

Well, actually I have
a ball to attend.

And then you'll dance
with the prince,
fall in love.

You can't seriously think
that's going to happen.

I never said I did.

Good.

Because this is real life,
Miss Pope.

Not fairytale.

Realistically, were
the prince to form
an attachment to...

an American
theme park princess,

why, it would bring ridicule
onto the entire palace.

The queen would be forced
to abdicate out
of embarrassment

and Prince Henry would never
be taken seriously as king.

And I don't think
you want that.

I want what's best
for Henry and Rose.

If you truly believe that
you should leave here at once.

What?

Oh no, no, no, no, no.

[phone notification sound]

[phone rings]

Hello, Mr Dole.

Lacey.

I'm sure you
know why I'm calling.

Yes, I've just seen
the photos naming me.

You're aware of how
I feel about this situation.

I'm afraid I'm going to
have to let you go.

Yes I know the rules
and I understand your policy.

It was wonderful to be able
to play Princess Sweet Pea
for as long as I did.

You will return the dress.

I'll return the dress
when I get home.

Will you make sure Prince Henry
and Princess Rose get those
when the ceremony's over?

Aren't you going to attend?

No.

I'm going home.

Where's Lacey now?

She took a taxi from the palace
several hours ago.

What could cause this?

Everything went so well.

Daphne.

Do you know something?

I do not wish to speak ill.

You have our full protection.

After the procession,
Miss Lacey had a talk
with Mr Veron

who warned Miss Pope to leave.

-What?
-Go on.

Miss Pope didn't want to leave

but he said if she
and Prince Henry ever dated

it would bring scandal
to the palace.

Is that it?

Thank you, Daphne.

This goes too far.

I recognise that with
the position of my birth
comes certain responsibilities

and despite what you may think

I do approach
those responsibilities
with great care.

-But I draw the line at this.
-Henry--

No, Mother.
I know all too well you have
doubts about my judgement

and that influences
your decision on your own life

which I understand.

But who I give my heart to
is ultimately up to me.

And have you?

What?

Given your heart?

I've made no declaration.

Yet.

Henry, my dear son.

As a father...

I believe you will understand
me when I say

the greatest joy a parent
can give is that
their child be happy.

No matter their age.

So as per our agreement,

I will not press Rose
to be tutored at the palace.

-Thank you, Mother.
-And as for your judgement,

I've come to realise,
while quick,

it can be better than my own
or that of my advisors.

And if you lead with your heart
and you show Bella Moritz
the same care

with which you
have shown to Rose

then I know that
the country will be
in safe hands.

It will.

-I promise.
-I believe you.

And so...

it is time to hand the torch on
to new generations
with new ideas.

To you.

-Are you certain?
-I am.

For so many reasons.

And I fear I've been
too harsh at times.

And for that, I'm sorry.

You were correct
to bring Lacey here.

It was the right
thing for Rose.

And I suspect for yourself?

I think she could be...

someone special for me.

Well then.

We have work to do.

If in the parlance
of fairytales you will,

go get the girl.

[phone ringing]

You okay?

You don't look okay.

I miss them.

Both of them.

At least you've been busy.

You'd think being fired
from your sorta dream job

would
free up your schedule, but

I've barely seen you.

I've been very busy applying
for Masters programmes.

If there's one good thing
that's come out of everything,
it's that...

I'm finally focused
on school again.

'Cause I know the area
that I want to focus on.

That's big.

Don't keep a girl in suspense.

I'm gonna do children's therapy
with an emphasis
on equine assistance.

Horses.

Yeah, working with Rose

reminded me how much
riding helped me as a kid

when I was
going through hard times.

That and fairy princesses.

Yeah.

I'm gonna miss that.

Miss seeing how
happy the kids get.

It's not fair.

Mr Dole should have
made an exception.

It's not your fault you
ended up in the gossip sites.

I know. But his park, his rules.

Besides, we both know
that he was just looking
for a reason

to transition to a new
Princess Sweet Pea.

Speaking of which, how is Kira?

Honestly, she's really nice.

Oh yeah, okay,
well that's good.

You're still the best
Princess Sweet Pea of them all.

Well, I should hope so.

But seriously, nice
is very important

especially if you're
playing a fairytale princess.

Do you want me
to take those dresses
back for you?

Erm...

No, I think I need the closure
of doing it myself.

Don't turn in that dress.

Mr Dole.

Ava said you would be here.

Just returning my dresses.

Is there any way I can
convince you to do
one more show?

Right now. I'm begging.

You fired me.

Thus the begging.

Look, Kira called in sick

and I have no other options
for the next performance.

That's not very good begging.

And you are without question

the best Princess Sweet Pea
that has ever crossed the
Once Upon A Time threshold.

That's better but no.

No?

It's time for me to put
fairytales to rest
and enter the real world

but thank you for asking.

But we'll have to cancel
the next performance

and there's a child waiting,
she won't leave.

Apparently she really, really
loves Princess Sweet Pea.

Just this once.

Just this once.

This is your last time
as Princess Sweet Pea.

I know. But I'm ready.

-Lacey.
-Rose.

I'm sorry I didn't
say goodbye to you in person.

That's okay. I got your note.
And papa said
we would visit you.

Hello.

I got your note.

I tried to call you.

I know.

I was afraid to tell you
that I was leaving.

Afraid?

That I wouldn't have
the courage to go
if I saw you again.

Did you want to go?

No.

I've missed you both so much.

We...

I have missed you as well.

My apologies for
your conversation
with Mr Veron.

His statements to you
were out of line
and wholly untrue.

It wasn't just him.

I...

-I felt...
-What?

Unworthy.

It is I who am unworthy of you.

Though that won't
stop me from hoping.

Hoping what?

That you will do me the honour

of dancing with me.

Wait.

One second.
I'll be right back.

Where do you think she's going?

Re-doing her grand entrance.

Oh.

-Hello. My name's Ian.
-Ava.

-Pleased to meet you.
-Nice to meet you.

I wanted to dance
with you as Lacey.

Do you know how to dance?

I shall always
do my best for you.

Lead on.

[royal ball music plays]

You're being so mysterious.

What is going on?

I have no idea, my dear.

There's a surprise for you.

What is this?

Our family are known
for their surprises.

Great Uncle Will sent him.

He's one of Trisgates's sons.

He's beautiful.

But Rose already has a horse.

He's for you.

For me?

What's the occasion?

As part of your
children's therapy programme.

And hopefully...

as an engagement present.

Lacey Kendra Pope.

My love for you began
with our first dance
and has only grown since.

Your kindness, strength
and so much joy.

And I am fortunate
to have earned your favour.

Will you please be my
forever princess?

That's... Yes.
