The children must be...

The kids are dying to see you.

I appreciate the offer, and I would love
to see the children.

I'm on duty.

If anything changes, I'll let you know.

Courier is entering the market.

Got them.

Thank you.

They're using the charity as a cash draw.

I'll stay with the courier.

Package is on the move.

Transport, 30 seconds.

It's split up.

You take the van, I'll take the package.

Subject is approaching Oxford.

Mission to intercept.

Stand by.

She dropped the package.

I need an answer.

Arrest authority granted.

Confirmed.

Security service!

Stop!

Excellent job, Officer Champion.

Now I lost her.

She won't get far.

We're working on updating her now.

Good work.

They took the bait.

Perfect.

The bomb squad cleared the package.

Old-school tradecraft.

It's a micro-dot.

Nobody's used these since the Cold War.

This is bad.

As bad as it gets.

The micro-dot contains security profiles
for Kensington Palace.

Schematics, names of security detail,
alarm code, shift changes.

Only someone on the inside could access
this information.

It presents an immediate threat to the
Royal Family.

Princess Rose, eldest daughter of His Majesty
the King, first in line to the throne.

Prince Edward, husband to Princess Rose,
father to Princess Elle and Prince Robert.

Second and third in line to the throne,
respectively.

Prince Colin, younger brother to Princess
Rose, fourth in line to the throne.

Colin does not reside at Kensington.

However, he visits
frequently and oversees His

Majesty's Christmas
charity on behalf of the family.

The threat and the charity are somehow
connected.

I'm declaring this crisis top secret.

We need our own people in Kensington ASAP.

There are two immediate openings in the
staff we can take advantage of.

There's Protection Officer and Royal
Nanny.

Royal Nanny?

You're suggesting an undercover?

An undercover will provide an extra layer
of protection for the royals and serve as

an intelligence source to identify the
security breach.

The family will be outraged if this gets
out.

They'll claim we were spying on them.

Better outrage than the alternative,
sir.

Officer Champion, you'll go undercover as
the Royal Nanny.

Officer Wallace, you'll
be added to the palace

security detail to
accompany and assist.

Yes, sir.

With all due respect, sir, I do not think
I'm the best fit for this assignment.

Explain yourself.

I grew up in a children's home.

I was never adopted.

I never had a family of my own.

I don't know the first thing about looking
after children.

I barely had a childhood of my own.

Posing as a nanny in such a high-profile
environment seems like a non-starter.

Given the urgency of the situation,
you are the only one who can do it.

Need I remind you of the oath you took to
serve King and country?

No, sir.

I'll do my best.

Good.

I'll place a phone call
to the headmistress of

Devonshire Academy
to assist with your cover.

Can she be trusted?

Absolutely.

Lansbury is one of our most valued assets.

Devonshire Academy.

Founded in 1902.

In their 120 years of proud
history, they have trained

thousands of the best, most
respected nannies in the world.

Current headmaster, Miss Juliette
Lansbury, has personally handpicked the

caretakers of the royal children for the
last 30 years.

Right.

Let's swap.

You go to nanny training, and I'll work
security detail.

Not on your life.

You're qualified.

You have kids.

I don't even know if I want kids or if I
like them.

Abby holds the front line with the kids.

I'm only backup.

You make it sound like we're fair.

It is.

Play nice.

Try and make friends.

Why do you think they call Miss Lansbury
scary puppets?

I have no idea.

But I suspect you'll find out soon enough.

Hmm.

Miss Champion.

Oh, you startled me.

I startle everyone, apparently.

Scary puppets.

Miss Lansbury, save the pleasantries.

I was read in by D.G.

Taylor.

Right.

It takes four years of concentrated study
and a year's service as a probationary

nanny for me to even consider placing
someone in a royal household.

We have 24 hours.

Do you have any childcare skills?

No.

Do you have younger siblings?

No.

Do you have friends with children?

Oh, my partner has kids.

Romantic partner?

Work partner.

And do you ever sit for these children?

No.

But I was a child myself once.

To be a successful nanny, one must be
passionate about children.

This is just not a teachable skill.

I'm afraid there's simply nothing I can do
for you.

Good day.

Oh, Miss Lansbury.

I have no doubt you are the best of the
best in your field.

But I, too, am the best of the best in my
field.

And for better or for worse, I might be
the only thing standing in the way of the

immediate threat to the future of the
British Empire.

I swore an oath to protect... to protect
king and country.

An oath I am willing to give my life for.

But I need your help to keep that oath in
service to the Crown.

You're very direct, sincere, and
uncomplicated.

All admirable qualities.

The only way you have the slightest chance
of becoming passable as a nanny in the

time that we have is for me to personally
oversee your training.

Chop-chop.

Come on, then.

A nanny is well-groomed, organized,
efficient, but flexible.

She always smiles, always remains calm,
always nurtures with love.

She is properly prepared for any
situation.

A nanny will do whatever is necessary to
stop an attack on her charge.

Threats come in all shapes and sizes.

Your response must be measured promptly
and balanced accordingly.

This is the path of protection.

You see, it does not draw attention,
it does not provoke, and yet it increases

the range and power you have against even
the strongest foes.

The canopy acts as a distraction and a
shield against the enemy.

And it buys you those precious seconds to
measure your response.

Every nanny likes to plan for rain.

It might even save your life.

And the life of your charge.

Did you spend time in the security
service?

Oh, that's classified.

Let common sense be your guide.

At the end of the day, a nanny allows
children to be children because she knows

in her heart love always triumphs in the
end.

Do you really believe that?

About love?

I must do.

I wrote it.

Page 84, third paragraph.

Well done.

Given adequate time.

I could have made an excellent nanny out
of you.

Given just 24 hours, you're as prepared as
I could ever have made you.

I would like to escort
you to Kensington and

provide you with the
proper introductions.

This is probably going to be the undoing
of my reputation.

But if it allows you to protect the royal
family from harm, so be it.

I was thinking that I might be old enough
to make it do without a nanny.

Really?

What about you, Robert?

Elle's right.

I think we're both old enough to do
without one.

Hmm, I see.

Perhaps we could meet her anyway.

Give her a chance?

I'd hate to put someone out of a job,
especially during the holidays.

And who knows?

She might surprise us.

Maybe she'll even like her.

Well, there's a thought.

Come on.

How are you, Juliet?

Very well, ma'am.

Might I introduce...
Miss Carter.

So nice to meet you.

Your Highness.

Miss Carter comes highly recommended by
me.

Welcome to the palace.

These are my little darlings, Elle.

And Robert.

Your Highnesses.

Pleased to meet you.

We look forward to thriving under your
care.

Okay.

Claire, this is my assistant, Olivia.

She's going to help you get settled in.

Please, follow me.

I'll escort you to your quarters.

Yes.

Do you think this one will stick?

I think she'll prove to be the nanny you
need right now.

I share this as a kindness.

I'm pretty sure no one informed you,
but the children are prone to mischief.

What sort of mischief?

Pranks, mostly.

More often than not.

They're harmless.

Some of them have sent a nanny or two
packing.

Well, I assure you I'm no shrinking
violet.

They all say that at first.

Here you are.

Thank you.

I'm inside.

Welcome back.

Any red flags?

No, so far so good.

But I'll be in touch.

I am so glad you're both here.

I believe you left a few things behind.

She's a tricky one.

We're going to need reinforcements.

Uncle!

What's the emergency?

It's the new nanny.

Another one?

Well, what's she done?

She foiled every one of our welcome
pranks.

So, she's a bit tougher than the others,
is she?

Well, I suppose we'll just have to come up
with something absolutely foolproof,

won't we?

Come on.

Ah!

The old bucket-on-the-door trick,
it never fails.

Hello there.

Your Highness, I'm Miss Carter,
the new nanny.

Oh.

Uh, hello.

Uh, welcome.

Um, the children were quite eager for me
to meet you.

Well, it's lovely of you to make the time.

I think you'll find I'm quite fond of my
niece and nephew.

And I take great interest in anyone
charged with their care.

As you should be.

Children, let's leave to allow Miss Carter
to settle in.

Aren't you forgetting something?

What's that?

Well played.

Thank you.

Excuse me.

How are you getting on?

The children went out of their way to make
me feel welcome.

Really?

I love my children with all my heart.

But they can be spirited, to say the
least.

No, I found them absolutely delightful.

Oh, I don't think I believe you.

Alas, have a good evening.

There we all are.

What have you done to yourself?

Oh.

Um, our cooking lesson.

Got a bit out of hand.

Oh, really?

So, how do we like Claire so far?

It's too soon to tell if we like her just
yet.

But we don't dislike her.

Colin?

She's clever.

Too clever.

Well, at least that's a start.

This could be a Christmas miracle.

Security service, open the door.

We know you're in there.

Open the door.

Ready?

All clear.

Yes, sir.

The threat is not only credible,
it's already set in motion.

My darlings, I hate to be the bearer of
bad news this morning, but...

Father won't be home for Christmas.

We need him more than the Royal Air Force.

He'll be home after the New Year, and
we can celebrate Christmas with him then.

But it won't be Christmas.

It will be just another day.

I know.

I'm so sorry, darling.

I wish there was something I could do.

I got a school project I could use your
help with, ma'am.

I'd be delighted.

When's it due?

End of the week.

It should only take a few hours.

Let's schedule some time.

I'm sorry, I just don't see how it's
possible, ma'am.

We'll extend it as it is, and then we'll
be travelling.

We must be able to squeeze a few hours out
of somewhere.

I'll look at the schedule, see if I can
move something, but...

I'll just ask the tutor.

No, it's not that I don't want to help,
Robert.

Pardon the interruption, but the car is
ready for us.

Let's pick this up tonight.

OK.

We have an engagement.

We won't be home until late.

I was sorry to hear your father won't be
here for Christmas.

I know what it's like to miss one's
family, especially around the holiday.

This is Officer Wallace.

He'll be our security for the next few
weeks.

Good morning, children.

Off to a running start, I see.

This was not my doing.

Well, it wasn't, I swear.

Not entirely.

Why the umbrella?

There isn't a cloud in the sky.

Oh, well, I'm running.

The best plan is for you.

Have a good day.

We'll see you after school.

Barnes needs us to come in.

Amanda Young.

You served together in the SAS.

What are you planning?

It's only a matter of time before we have
Young in custody.

And it will go easier on you if you give
her up now.

Put an end to it, willingly.

Michael Ford and Amanda Young,
both ex-military.

Young's been surveilling the Princess and
the children for some time.

I can't be sure if we've delayed whatever
it is that she's planning or hastened it.

Do we have his phone?

He managed to ditch it before we took him
into custody.

And do we have anything on the van driver?

Employed by the transport company
contracted with the Christmas charity.

Does Young work for the Christmas charity?

We're looking into it.

It's staffed primarily by volunteers.

There are very few
people actually in their

employ and volunteer
records were spotted last.

Right.

Let's retrace forward steps, see if we
can't find his phone.

Have you met him yet?

We've crossed paths.

He was named England's most eligible
bachelor by the Times.

Why do you know that?

Abby told me.

Doesn't every woman want to find their
Prince Charming?

It's not so much the Prince Charming,
more like a Prince of Pranks.

Let's go find Ford's phone.

Hello.

Hi.

Do you have a lost amount?

We do.

What did you lose?

I think I dropped my phone here yesterday.

Oh, we did have a folder turn up.

Is this it?

Oh my goodness, yes, thank you.

Thank you.

That could belong to anyone.

No, it is, trust me.

How can you be so sure?

Elementary, my dear Violet.

I'm a criminal.

I'm about to be taken into custody.

I dropped my phone in
the Christmas lot, then come

back to recover it or get
it from the lost and found.

We're headed to Frogmore House.

Colin's residence.

Has there been a change of plans?

Urgent security protocols.

Delaying our travel orders until the last
minute prevents leaks.

How was school today?

Have either of you given any thought to
what you want for Christmas?

I bet you both love getting socks.

Perhaps... laundry soap,
dental floss, shoe laces,

bowling balls, a bag of
tweezers, toenail clippings.

A bag of toenail clippings?

Ew.

Who would possibly want a bag of toenail
clippings?

Well, I suspect absolutely no one anywhere
who ever lived.

I was just trying to get you both to break
your vow of silence.

Well played.

You're not like all the other nannies,
are you?

I most certainly am not.

And I intend to take that as a compliment
you do not intend it to be.

Hello, children.

Welcome to Frogmore.

I'm Price, Colin's security man.

Thank you.

Oh, hi.

Come here.

Come on in.

Thank you, Nanny.

You will not be needed for the rest of the
afternoon.

I'm on duty.

I must remain with the children at all
times.

There's no service you can
provide my niece and nephew

over the next few hours that
I cannot perform diligently.

And your presence will only impose upon
our privacy.

I'm going to need to connect that with
Princess Rose.

By all means, feel free.

And after my sister has
told you exactly what I've just

told you, you can remain
outside until we're finished.

Thank you, Nanny.

Here.

I see you've made another fast friend
among the royals.

That was my doing.

Wallace, what's going on?

Something triggered the side alarm in the
kitchen.

I'm on my way.

I'm afraid you've caught me.

If it's not too much to ask, could we keep
this between us?

Okay.

Stand down.

All clear.

False alarm.

What's all this?

Someone triggered the silent alarm,
ma'am.

What silent alarm?

Hyped and security measures were installed
today.

Why was I not informed?

Miss Morgan should have briefed you.

At top of my list for the morning.

I am so sorry.

I think this is all my fault.

I came down to make a snack and I must
have set off the alarm.

What's your name, officer?

Wallace, ma'am.

Officer Wallace.

From here on out, I wish to be briefed
directly on matters of security.

Do you understand?

Yes, ma'am.

I'm not sure of it.

Oh, you wish to be briefed right now?

Yes, please.

Very well.

We've been made aware of a credible threat
against you and the children.

We've responded with heightened security
measures and additional security detail.

Should I be concerned?

Is this threat more credible than most?

We take all threats against the Crown
seriously.

For now, allow us to do the worrying for
you, ma'am.

We are very good at our job and we are
well trained.

And we are dedicated to keeping you and
your family safe.

Very well.

Thank you, Wallace.

I think we've had enough excitement for
one evening.

Everyone should make their way back to
bed.

Sweet dreams to all.

Claire, stay behind, would you?

Oh, of course.

Thank you for covering.

It means a lot.

It's my pleasure.

Cocoa?

It's delicious.

It's a family recipe, handed down from
generation to generation.

Your come to find the palace is a special
place to be at Christmastime.

How are you getting on?

Oh, uh...

Well, I... I think... Why?

What have you heard?

Oh, well, I'm not one to spread palace
gossip.

All I will say is you really seem to be
holding your own.

Fair enough.

You know I wish I could say the same.

With Edward away and had to take on more
than my fair share of royal duties.

And add to that the state of heightened
security.

Admittedly...

I'm struggling.

Gosh, I feel so guilty even saying that
out loud.

No.

I have so much help and...

and so much to be grateful for.

It troubles me when protocol dictates that
I spend more time in the company of my

loyal subjects than...
than with my own children.

And here I am trying
to make up for it in

the middle of the night
with packed lunches.

It's...

I don't know.

It's absurd, isn't it?

No.

No.

It's wonderful.

As Miss Lansbury would say if she were
here.

Your children just want to know that you
are engaged and present in their lives.

So if packed lunches is how
you do that then... so be it.

Thank you.

That does actually make me feel slightly
less terrible.

Cheers.

I think we can make that work.

Robert, we've managed
to make time for me

to help with your project
on Thursday night.

Elle, we're working on scheduling a video
call.

Your father.

I'm afraid it's a bit tricky.

I keep running into
military protocol restricting

non-military use of the secure
satellite during deployment.

Well, keep trying.

I have faith in you.

Who's responsible for this?

I will get to the bottom of this if it's
the last thing I do.

This is Wallace.

We need another vehicle ASAP.

Did you do this on your own?

No, I thought maybe you did.

No.

Thank you for being so kind.

How did you manage to get so many
ornaments?

Well, a man is prepared for any situation.

Speaking of, when you were
served in the RAF, how difficult

was it for you to schedule
a video call with someone?

Difficult?

Not impossible.

Requires a lot of legwork.

Depends mostly on scheduling and available
time on the secure satellite.

And pending a rule or two.

Could you see about scheduling a call with
the family in Edward?

I'll look into it.

Thank you.

So, have you sacked that annoyingly clever
new nanny yet?

I'm afraid Claire may be with us for the
duration.

What could possibly make you say that?

See for yourself.

Outstanding.

Well, the children have certainly outdone
themselves.

It wasn't the children.

It was Claire.

What?

No.

I don't believe that.

It's true.

She made the effort to win them over.

And it seems to have worked.

They thought it was the funniest thing
they'd ever seen.

She comes across as so prim and proper.

Well, there's clearly more to her than
meets the eye.

I know she's only been with us a short
time, but I feel as if I can confide in her.

Are you sure that's wise?

You have been wrong before.

I'm only looking out for you.

I know you are.

It's sweet.

I can't quite explain why.

Call it intuition, if you will.

But something tells me Claire has all our
best interests at heart.

That's very good, Robert.

It's getting better.

I'm so sorry to interrupt.

I've managed to
surprise, but we only have

a few more minutes
with this gear satellite.

Come here, Robert.

Father!

Hello, my darling.

Terribly.

Where are you?

Alone.

Well, Robert's been practicing his violin.

He's been working so hard.

Let's give him a privacy shower.

You've been brilliant, haven't you?

You're overstepping your duties.

I was just trying to do something nice for
the family.

The last syringing call was not as
difficult as you made it out to be.

Rose Protocol exists to be followed.

We can't wait to see you.

I miss you so much.

How's it going out there?

Could you look into Olivia for me?

See what you find.

There's just something I don't trust about
her.

Okey.

Thank you for the lovely surprise.

I just pulled a few strings with Wallace's
help.

Thank you, Wallace.

My pleasure, Mum.

We're so accustomed to things being asked
of us.

It's rare when someone presents us with
such a selfless and...

thoughtful kindness.

Have a good day.

Love you.

Love you too.

You were right.

They found something on that phone.

Young used her access
through the charity to get

a little too close of a
comfort to the royals.

I need you to extend the scope of your
watch to Prince Colin.

Are we looking at him as a suspect or a
target?

We must be open to any possibilities.

History teaches us that
even the best of men would

commit unspeakable
acts to sit upon the throne.

Consider me impressed.

No, really.

Princess Rose does nothing but sing your
praises.

Your instincts are very good.

You just continue to follow them.

I could use your instincts in a delicate
matter.

Do you think Colin is capable of harming
his family?

You think he's in on it?

Don't waste your time.

He adores his sister and he loves those
children as if they were his own.

But even if it meant wearing the crown?

The crown is not something Colin aspires
to.

Our prime suspect has
gotten close to Colin and the

charity, so I've been ordered
to include him in my watch.

The only problem is he's not my biggest
fan.

In fact, he's banned me from the residence
when the children are visiting.

Is there any way I can smooth things over?

Just now there's a very quick release.

If Colin is not involved, he might be a
target.

I can't protect him if I can't get near
him.

In that case, I know exactly what you need
to do.

Look who it is.

Hello.

Thank you, Nanny.

Your services will not be required.

I'm invoking the Lansborough Nanny
protocol.

A Lansborough Nanny must always be within
arm's reach of her children while on duty.

If you interfere with
performance of said duties, I

will be forced to inform
Miss Lansborough herself.

And you will have to deal with her
directly and in person.

Scary Poppins.

As I was saying before you interrupted me,
you're welcome to join us.

However, your entry is conditional.

On what?

On proving that you can have fun.

Challenge accepted.

Welcome to my home.

I love the Christmas Day call.

I keep it up year round.

Every day is Christmas at Uncle Colin's.

Are they being serious?

They're just teasing you.

It looks like Santa's workshop in here.

I think it's important that we be hands on
in our charity work.

So we wrap as many of the gifts as we can
ourselves.

I didn't know the children were involved
in the charity.

It's their first year.

They aren't exactly thrilled about it.

But that's because they have yet to learn
that hard work builds character.

At first glance I didn't take you for a
Christmas cheerleader.

No?

Well, perhaps we're both worthy of a
second glance.

With her?

Yeah.

Really?

Yeah, we really do need a fourth.

Sorry, a fourth for what?

Alright then, go.

Er, shoelaces.

Doing your laces.

Erm, you're dan-dancing
erm... Ice skating, ice skating!

Yes!

Robert.

Three, two, one, go.

Big giant.

Just so strong.

You're full of muscles.

You're so strong.

You're carrying a ho-Oh, oh, your father
Christmas.

Your father Christmas.

Yeah.

Is that it?

No, there's more.

Oh, sorry.

Why are you yelling at me?

Because I'm naughty.

I've been naughty.

Sorry.

Is there more?

It's ten o'clock.

She's coming to town.

Naughtiness!

Naughty?

Didn't I say that?

And go!

Giant nanny bag full of nanny things.

No, this is not your turn.

Actually, help her.

Father Christmas!

No.

Such a sack!

Sack of toys!

Sack of toys!

We should get a point for that.

We have to consult the judge.

The judge will allow it.

That makes us do nothing.

You better catch up.

You're quite competitive.

What?

You fit right in.

Love, um, flies, um.

..

Mistletoe!

Yes!

Yes, mistletoe.

Well done.

That's game.

We trounced you.

Oh!

The girls win.

Well, the children seem to have taken
quite a liking to you.

Not something that I've witnessed with
previous nannies.

And I admit, you do know how to have fun.

Thank you.

What do you say?

Should we induct Claire into the Royal Fun
Club?

The Royal Fun Club?

You're in the headquarters.

Okay.

It's a place where there's no royal
protocol, only good fun and games.

It's a place where royal children play.

Children can be children.

We need to have a proper ceremony.

Yes.

Yes.

Fetch me my sword.

Thank you.

Please, take... Oh, my shield.

Yes.

Thank you.

Please, take a knee.

Ms. Carter, I dub thee Dame Carter.

Oh.

Dame.

Dame.

Rise, Dame Carter.

Order of the Royal Fun Club.

Thank you, thank you.

One and all, thank you.

How long have you been involved in the
Christmas charity?

Since I was about Robert's age.

Well, I think it's a very worthwhile
endeavor.

I'm glad you feel that way.

How would you feel
about volunteering for us

tomorrow while the
children are at school?

I'd love to.

Wonderful.

Well done, Robert.

Thank you.

Great, thank you for putting those
together.

So you're going to bring those over to
the...

Er, to the van, just over there.

Thank you.

Hello again.

Hello again.

This is quite the operation.

Well, I'm glad you're impressed.

Are you ready to get to work?

Absolutely.

Can I ask you something?

Certainly.

Why do you put so much effort into a
charity that, um...

that you don't really have to?

Oh, I think what you're trying to say is,
Colin, why don't you let the staff handle

the day-to-day while you work on your polo
game?

That...

It's a tad more delicate than I was going
to admit it, but, um...

Essentially, yes.

Well, I suppose it's selfish, really.

Growing up as a royal, as I'm sure you can
imagine, I was lavished with all sorts of,

um... extravagant gifts
at Christmas time, and

it didn't take long for
the novelty to wear off.

But, through the charity, I've discovered
that giving gifts brings me much more joy

than any gift I've ever received,
no matter how grand.

James Wilder, the richest man in England.

Trying to get him to
donate is like trying

to pull teeth from
someone who has no teeth.

James, welcome.

We start taking requests from children's
houses in October.

I like to think of us as being in the
business of Christmas wish fulfillment.

To call it business would mean it was
profitable.

The idea is to acquire a gift for each and
every child who participates, so they have

something to look forward to for the
holidays, the exact thing they asked for.

Well, I feel my money would be better
served elsewhere.

What can I do to convince you?

I can tell you firsthand
the difference a

Christmas charity can
make in a child's life.

Please, enlighten me.

I grew up in a children's home.

Christmas charity was a...

constant.

We could rely on it.

Made Christmas special.

It was something to
look forward to despite

not being able to
spend it with our families.

I would rather establish programs to help
the children overcome their circumstances

than provide them with a luxury for one
day.

I understand that, but a toy is not a
luxury.

It's a hope and joy.

It reminds us that the world cares.

You can't assign a value to that in a
ledger because it's priceless.

It's the joy.

Receiving a gift on Christmas
Day can give a child, can empower

them to take on even life's
most difficult of circumstances.

Where did you find this ringer,
Colin?

Claire's nanny to my niece and nephew.

You're the nanny?

Yes.

What if you bought one toy for one child?

See how it made you feel.

If it brought you joy, maybe you could buy
more next year.

I will personally donate £100 if you agree
to match my donation.

How many children does £200 provide for?

That would secure gifts for four children.

Four?

Four children will have a much happier
Christmas because of you.

Come on, don't you believe
that a genuine act of kindness

around the holidays can
fill a child's world with hope?

How many gifts short are you of making
your quota?

Oh, roughly a thousand.

I'll cover what remains.

Thank you.

Thank you, truly.

This will make a tremendous difference in
the lives of so many children.

It was a pleasure to meet you,
Claire.

Pleasure is all mine, sir.

Thank you.

Sorry.

I have been after him for ages.

You know, I think he took sinister delight
in turning me down year after year.

I don't know how to thank you.

You are...

not like the other nannies.

Children.

The children.

I need to get the children.

Yes, you should.

Right now?

Yeah, of course.

Goodbye.

We were hoping you might take us Christmas
shopping.

We want to buy a gift for Mother.

We'd like it to be a surprise.

Absolutely.

What were you thinking?

My main concern is being recognized by any
royal watchers and causing a scene.

Maybe you can shop for them.

No.

The point of this is that they want to do
it themselves.

Claire is right.

We wanted to pick out a gift for her
together.

I'll call in the backup detail.

We've had the store locked down for 30
minutes.

Plenty of time.

Do you have any idea what you want to get
your mother?

It's difficult to shop for her.

She gets so many gifts all year round.

Not just for Christmas.

That's a tough one.

What about getting your mum something you
can experience together?

Does she like puzzles?

She does.

She told us how much she enjoyed them when
she was our age.

These will look like so much fun.

How about these marbles?

These?

Hmm.

Now, since your mother seems to be the
woman who has everything in regards to

gifts, how about we get her the world and
everything in it?

Brilliant.

I love it.

I don't think we need it gift wrapped.

Sort of professionals in that department.

Come on.

We want both children.

I'm surprised to see you here tonight.

The children invited me.

It's a welcome surprise.

Shall we?

Yes.

Let's go make a Christmas wish.

The Christmas wishing fountain.

Who needs a coin?

Me.

Thank you.

There you go.

But...

Thank you.

My wish is to have father home in time for
Christmas.

That's my wish too.

Maybe if we all make the same wish,
you'll have a better chance of coming true.

Well, in that case, I'll add mine to the
course.

On the count of three.

Three, two, one.

Make a wish.

Aren't you going to make your wish?

Yes.

If I tell you...

it might not come true.

You've gone from being dismissive to taking
more than a passing interest in Claire.

I take great interest in anyone charged
with the care of my niece and nephew.

Do you like her?

Well, absolutely.

Claire has proven to be wonderful with the
children.

I'm glad to see you've come around.

I'm sorry to have to do this to you,
Robert, but...

I won't be able to help with your project
tonight.

But you promised.

I know.

I'm so sorry, darling.

Grandfather needs Uncle Colin and I to
fill in last minute.

He still isn't feeling very well.

It's rubbish, isn't it?

I know.

All the travel arrangements have been
made.

You'll be flying out of Heathrow.

Thank you.

But...

we can still have fun before we go though,
can't we?

How about a pancake?

To go with the chocolate milk.

Wash it down.

Are we able to ground a flight leaving out
of Heathrow this evening?

Do I want to know why?

It's a matter of domestic security.

Only DG Taylor can give that order.

But, um...

I'll put in the request.

Thank you.

OK.

Oh, no.

Close.

Oh.

So this must be what they meant by
reindeer games.

Our plane was grounded with mechanical
issues.

Come along, Elle.

As soon as I change, we will all work
together on Robert's project.

Come play with us first.

We have work to do.

Please.

Pretty please.

Just one game.

One game.

But you have to be the reindeer.

I think Claire is doing a terribly good
job of being the reindeer.

Hello again.

Hello again.

Let's all play.

Oh.

Shall we?

Well...

I do think that it's my sworn duty as a
member of the Royal Fun Club.

Yes!

Oh, OK.

Go!

Not even close.

It's here.

Oh.

Are you aiming for my face?

Yes!

Yeah!

It's so good!

Oh!

Hi.

For all of Christmas.

Naughty.

Oh!

Well, I stand corrected.

I believe that my sister is the superior
reindeer.

I'm sure it's all good practice for
wearing a crown one day.

Ah.

Claire, you can take the rest of the
evening off.

Colin, would you care to join us?

No, I think I'll make my way home.

As you wish.

Say goodnight, children.

Night.

Goodnight.

Night.

Night.

Night.

Well, it seems we both unexpectedly have
the evening off.

If you're interested, I could give you a
guided tour of the Palace Gardens.

The Christmas
displays, Christmas light

displays, quite spectacular
this time of year.

Yes, no, I like that.

Thank you.

Good.

I grew up here, you know.

Still feels like home.

It's difficult for me to feel at home
anywhere.

The curse of being an orphan.

I'm never really sure you're on solid
footing no matter where you stand.

You were never adopted?

No.

I'm sorry, that must have been difficult.

No, it's all right.

I didn't grow up in a Dickens novel.

Everything turned out all right in the
end.

It seems to me as
though my sister is rapidly

coming to treat you as
if you're part of a family.

The children as well.

Yes.

You know, I owe you an apology.

Regrettably, our introduction was not my
finest hour.

My actions were childish and you,
quite rightfully, put me in my place.

Apology accepted.

I admit, you did look absolutely ridiculous
covered in spaghetti and I loved it.

You're really good with the children.

They look up to you.

Have you given any thought to starting a
family of your own?

I'd like to think my heart is open to it.

Although I do have trouble trusting anyone
from outside of the family.

You and I, I think, are like two sides of
the same coin.

Growing up without a family, I find it
difficult to trust anyone other than myself.

Well, perhaps we might both be brave enough
to take a chance on trusting each other.

Perhaps.

Sir, I need you to come with me
immediately.

Why?

What's happened?

C.G.

Taylor of MI7 has requested a face-to-face
to brief you on a security matter.

Right now?

Yes, sir.

Price.

Does it have to be right now?

Yes, sir.

Claire, I'm sorry.

Apparently I need to cut our outing short.

I completely understand.

Good night.

Good night.

Has there been any development in the
case?

I don't have any more information than you
do.

Your Highness, thank you again for coming
in.

Amanda Young.

She volunteers for our charity.

We believe she poses an immediate threat
to Princess Rose and the children.

Possibly even yourself.

I've received countless security threats
over the years.

Young has a military
background and was in

possession of the security
protocols for Kensington.

Only someone within
the trusted inner circle of

the royal family could
obtain this information.

And she's been surveilling your sister and
the children for quite some time.

This isn't a security briefing.

It's an interrogation.

It looks that way.

But only after they've been thoroughly
vetted.

The vetting process
only works if they've been

convicted of a crime,
not if they're planning one.

What more can you tell us?

She was a hard worker.

She only joined our efforts this year.

I honestly don't know anything else about
this woman.

Perhaps you could take a step back from
the charity this year.

Prespone the involvement of the children.

The charity does not function without my
involvement.

Stepping back is not an option.

I will, however, yield to Rose in all
matters concerning the children.

Now, gentlemen, my sincere hope is that
you are both very good at your jobs,

and this will be the last time we have a
need to speak on this matter.

Join us.

I just don't believe Connor is capable of
doing anything but put a family in danger.

Don't fall prey to the royal's charms.

I need you to remain professionally
dispassionate on this assignment.

You must be willing to go where the
evidence leads you.

Yes, sir.

Can we use Ford's mobile device to map his
route to the charity?

Maybe catch him on CCTV.

Takes some time, but yes.

What exactly are we looking for?

Find out where that package he was
carrying came from.

Perhaps it would be best if you and the
children kept a low profile.

Until the threat is contained,
cancel the Christmas party.

Nonsense.

I won't hear of it.

I want my children to have a somewhat
normal existence.

And I refuse to allow our lives to be
guided by fear.

Price, what's your professional opinion?

I assure you, sir, with the heightened
security protocols, the palace is the most

secure place in the country at this
moment.

Good.

Hear that?

Good.

I'll consider the matter settled.

Are you trying to collect them all?

I want to sample one of everything to see
what I like best.

Thank you.

Ooh, yum.

Come here.

What are you doing out here?

To be honest, this is my least favourite
part of the charity business.

Being in the spotlight.

I would much rather spend the evening with
all of you.

Well, perhaps we could all go down
together.

No, no.

Save yourselves.

My fate is inevitable.

I just wanted to say hello before the
evening got started.

Hello.

What's all this?

Er... This is your party, Colin.

Need to actually attend?

On one condition.

I would like Claire to attend as well.

As my guest.

Lovely.

I'm all for it.

That is... very nice.

But what about the children?

I'll call on the night nanny a little
early.

OK.

Er...

I'm happy to lend you a gown if you need
it.

Thank you.

But I think I might have something.

For just such an occasion.

Splendid.

You know, I must confess.

All our lives do seem to be
a bit... brighter with you in it.

I'm grateful.

All right, let's go.

Chin up.

Off we pop.

Your Highness, good evening.

Your Highness.

Thank you for coming.

How have you been, madam?

Thank you.

Ah, excuse me.

You look stunning, as always.

You've hardly seen me in anything but my
uniform.

I stand by my statement.

Oh, thank you for coming.

Hello, hello.

Good to see you.

This is Claire.

Hello.

Lovely to meet you.

Thank you so much for being here.

Hello.

Lovely evening.

Good to see you.

May I have a word?

Oh, no.

Yes, please.

Thank you, thank you.

Yes, of course.

No, no, I'm quite interested.

I think it's a very... I thought
I might find you here tonight.

You seem to be getting on better than I
could have expected.

Being with the children has...

brought out something in me I didn't know
was there.

You see, I was the older
kid, always looking after and

protecting the younger
children at the children's home.

Perhaps that's why I went to the line of
work that I did.

You may be lying about what you do,
but you're not lying about who you are.

Thank you.

Merry Christmas, Miss Lansbury.

Merry Christmas, dear boy.

I need to thank you.

You have sent us a true gift from Claire.

She has exceeded even my greatest
expectations for her service.

As always, it's a pleasure to see you.

Now, if you don't mind excusing us,
there's something I need to show Claire.

By all means.

Where are you taking me?

It's a surprise.

I've never been in this room before.

This is where I keep some
of the presents so Robert

and Elle don't find them
before Christmas morning.

Oh, it's so beautiful.

Every year I try to create
a different display and

then I give Robert and Elle
a Christmas tree ornament.

On Christmas Eve we all gather together in
the living room and put up all the

decorations they've collected over the
years.

I've been doing it since they were born,
so I suppose it's a family tradition now.

That's very thoughtful.

It's nothing much, just special memories
from the year.

No, those are the things that matter the
most.

From the heart, they're timeless and
priceless.

That's the idea.

Rose would like the children to have a
humble upbringing, so I...

Well, I'd try to encourage
them to appreciate the simple

things in life and just to be
grateful for having each other.

The love of a family is...

very special indeed.

Blessed to have you.

Thank you for saying that.

But truly, I am the lucky one.

We should.

Should we what?

Go, erm...

To the ball.

The ball.

Right.

We should go back to the ball.

Back to the ball, then.

Right.

We used the recovered
phone to reverse-engineer

the courier's route
to the charity kiosk.

The package containing the microdot
originated from Colin?

I can't assume Colin passed along the
security info.

He would have access to it.

What does Ford have to say?

He's still not talking.

No, Colin is not the bad guy.

How can you be certain?

Because I've spent time with him.

Believe me, I have spent
time with some pretty

unsavoury characters
in this line of work.

And Colin stands above them all.

Would you trust him with your life?

I would, yes.

That would be a mistake.

I warned you against falling prey to the
royal's charms.

Sir, if you feel my integrity
has been compromised,

perhaps you should
remove me from this case.

The only way through this is forward.

You are still the best asset we have in
the game.

You've managed to get close to a family no
outsider should be able to get close to.

In this exact home?

Once I left, I never thought I'd be back.

It's sort of like being visited by the
Ghost of Christmas Past.

Oh.

Well, that's awkward.

Because I am the Ghost
of Christmas... ...Presence.

Thank you.

Okay.

Thank you.

Right.

Thank you.

Yes, this one's for you.

Welcome home.

That's very good.

One more.

Good.

Okay, go ahead.

All right, now.

Why don't we all open our gifts together
on the count of three.

Ready?

One, two, three...

Happy Christmas!

Happy Christmas!

I'm going to get out of here.

Your Royal Highness.

I feel it best to explain.

My name is Claire Champion.

Not Carter.

I'm with security service.

We covered a credible threat against you
and the children and...

...deemed it best to place me here.

They're undercover as an added layer of
protection for just such an occasion.

Thank you for protecting my children.

I'm sorry to tell you this, but...

but they took Colin.

What can be done to bring him home safely?

I... Miss Tam, you are
relieved of your assignment.

I'll take it from here.

Sir, if... if it's all right, I'd like to
stay here and see this through to the end.

You're relieved of the assignment.

That's an order.

I... I'm sorry.

Who exactly are you?

DG Taylor, am I sorry?

My first priority at this moment is
tending to my children.

The only person in this room I trust right
now is Claire.

Everyone else needs to leave.

Immediately.

We need... but we need to brief you on the
situation.

Officer Champion will brief me on anything
I need to be briefed on.

Is that understood?

Yes, ma'am.

Ma'am, I promise you, I will do everything
in my power to bring Colin home safely.

I know you will.

I owe you one.

It's what we trade for.

The day we hope never comes.

Something just doesn't fit, does it?

I don't follow.

Young knew who I was.

She recognized you from the market?

No.

No, she called me by my real name,
not my alias.

Only someone inside Temp's house could
have given it to her.

Exactly.

Officer Price is missing after the
exchange.

Seems he was taken as well.

Miles needs us to come in immediately.

We traced Prince Colin's secure phone.

It led us right back here.

Where this package was delivered addressed
to you.

It's been cleared.

It's safe to open.

Prince Colin's secure phone is inside.

Officer Champion.

Hello, Officer Champion.

The children are safe.

I thank you for that.

These not-so-lovely people have a list of
demands for my safe return.

I will tell them to bugger off.

You'll find the list in a file on my
phone.

I'm going to get you out of this.

I promise.

Thank you, Claire.

They want the courier
Ford released along with

the drive containing
50 million in crypto.

I'll telephone the PM and see how he wants
to proceed.

Shouldn't this be up to the family?

The family has no say in this whatsoever.

This is a matter of state now.

I don't like how Dale is handling this.

There's something about it that doesn't
fit.

You don't get to be the head of the security
service by winning a popularity contest.

Hmph.

We caught a red flag on Olivia Morgan's
financial records.

Maybe connected, maybe not.

I knew there was something about her I
didn't trust.

Let's bring her in, see what she knows.

Ms Morgan, it's come to my attention that
you had some financial difficulties that

were recently resolved by a series of
large cash transfers.

Financial issues make
someone a prime target

for coercion from the
leavening outside sources.

Are you saying you think I'm a woman?

Are you involved with Colin's abduction?

You had access to all the security
protocols.

You had access to my itinerary the day of.

The funds came from the mirror.

But Emily...

I was telling them gossip about the Roha
family.

I'm not a kidnapper.

They were particularly
interested in a budding

relationship between Prince
Colin and the Royal Nanny.

My role at the palace is classified.

Any information you divulge
going forward will be considered

an act of treason punishable
by ten years in prison.

What's this?

A letter of termination from Princess
Rose.

Effective immediately.

The PM has ordered a national emergency
and convened Cobra.

As of this moment, we've been ordered to
stand down.

Sir, the PM is making a grave mistake.

It's his mistake to make.

By the time the experts and
the crisis planners and the

politicians all get up to
speed, it will be too late.

Young has been one step ahead of us this
entire time.

It's as if someone in Thames House is
behind this entire operation.

Your feelings for the Prince are blinding
you.

The evidence is plausible
enough to point to him

as the mastermind behind
this entire endeavour.

By getting himself kidnapped.

His plan to take the children failed.

He improvised.

This is personal for you.

Do you have something against him?

Against the family.

Against royals in general.

You are out of line, officer.

No, sir.

I am in line.

Because you keep trying to
take this piece of the puzzle

that simply doesn't fit
and force it into something.

You are suspended from active duty.

Turn in your credentials and pray that I
don't have you decommissioned.

I'm being suspended.

It's not the best way to begin Christmas.

If an investigation hits a dead end,
you have to go back to the beginning.

That dead end may not be as dead as you
think.

Price is in on it.

Young and Ford served with him in the SAS.

I'm sorry.

How do you know all this?

I have eyes and ears everywhere.

No.

We shouldn't give this to you.

There's not much going on in this city
that I don't know about.

My sources tell me.

Ford and Young, the former MI7.

How could we have missed that?

They were decommissioned,
and their involvement

in the security service
was wiped off the record.

So they became ghost agents for off-book
missions.

It's rather like something right out of
the Christmas Carol, isn't it?

But Taylor must be behind it.

Why?

The word is that the powers that be were
cutting the MI7 funding, even considering

absorbing it into a newly formed joint
security service.

Create a national crisis, save the day.

It does prove how essential you are.

Precisely.

Now, I'm counting on you to bring my dear
boy back home.

Your dear boy?

I was Colin's nanny back in the day.

Well, who do you think gave me the
nickname?

Your name's Gary Poppins.

He's no longer a child, but one never stops
looking out for the people one cares for.

This had better be good.

Colin's security detail, Officer Price.

He's not missing, he's in on it.

And if my sources are correct,
Colin is inside.

I'd say that's pretty good.

Well, they're preparing to release Ford
with the ransom, so... We'd better be quick.

Colin, it has to be.

I bet my life on it.

What's the plan?

Are you just going to go down the chimney?

Like Santa Claus?

We have to be smart about this and do it
my way.

Wait a minute.

Nothing like Christmas Eve takeaway.

Wonderful.

Hungry.

Thank you.

I'm in.

There's somebody coming your way.

Do you trust

me?

Was everything you told me about yourself
true, or was it all a cover story?

No.

I only lie to you about what I do,
not who I am.

I trust you.

Stay behind me.

Where is he?

What?

Where is he?

Come on.

He can't be gone.

Come on.

He can't be gone.

You're wrong.

Come on.

A Lansbury Nanny always plans to rain.

A Lansbury Nanny always plans to rain.

All good, boys.

I've got it.

Well, okay, good.

It's amazing.

Mrs. Lansbury would be proud.

What's the meaning of this?

It's over, sir.

We know you were behind it all,
attempting to frame Prince Colin.

It might have worked had Officer Champion
not protected the children.

Everything I did was for the good of the
service.

I had to prove that we are essential to
the safety of the country.

It was the only way.

That may be what you believe, but you can
never do right by doing wrong.

You'll see.

It's the job.

Changes you.

I think it just makes you more of who you
are.

Uncle Colin.

I miss him too.

No!

Uncle Colin!

Colin!

Hi.

Oh, so good to see you.

Oh, you're crushing me.

Thank you for bringing him home.

It's my pleasure.

And you know, we actually brought home a
straggler from the North Pole.

Ho, ho, ho.

Happy Christmas, one and all.

Father!

You're here!

How did you pull this off?

The abduction triggered
a military safety protocol,

so Edward was relieved
of active duty immediately.

I'm fine.

It's a Christmas wish.

Thank you.

It's a wish come true.

What did you wish for by the fountain?

Um, to spend Christmas here with you and
your family.

Hello?

Yes, of course.

She's right here.

Just a moment.

It's for you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Clare Champion?

Yes, Your Majesty.

No, I'd love to.

No, absolutely.

Thank you.

The

King just invited me to spend Christmas at
Sandringham.

Well, that's highly unusual.

Father's not usually one to invite
non-family members.

This is quite an unusual break in royal
protocol.

Clare is family.

And if my brother's as smart as he thinks
he is, he'll make it official.

Sooner than later.

Yes!

Thank you.

Come on.

Thank you, Clare.

Hello again.

I guess Mr. Lansbury was right.

Love does triumph over all.

Good night, my lovey-dovey.
