coronation speech then 2 p.m. fitting
with the tailor and his team for your
coronation uniform hold on hold on thank
mother just left a 5 minute gap between
150 5 and 2 p.m. I'm not sure I'll know
what to do with myself for those 300
seconds speak of the Queen be Her
Majesty requests your presence
immediately it's in all caps

[Music]
thank you good morning mother Juana Dory
gentlemen you made the papers again must
be a slow news day again this is
ridiculous she was a tourist I was
giving her directions well you certainly
seem very happy doing it never serious
Adrian you have to be careful especially
with your coronation coming up more so
than ever you represent not only our
family but the entire country so we want
to present Calpurnia's what exactly a
surly unsmiling not who rude to tourists
I'll give it after you exactly what I
mean I want you to limit your
gallivanting about town in this last
stretch before the coronation
I'm not staying cooped up in here for a
week because I'm trashy tabloid Prince
lies your father may he rest in peace
had a wonderful saying sacrifice
sacrifice in service of your country is
not sacrifice yes I don't think he meant
it to include house arrest for his son
very well in that case I must insist
that Felix go with you on your little
outings at all times mother
fine I will consent to be chaperoned if
you consider my previous request
absolutely not I'm not turning a
centuries old tradition into a public
free-for-all why shouldn't the
coronation be open to the public there
are citizens and if not for them we
wouldn't have a country Adrian the
coronation is one of the few traditions
the noble families have left I will not
take it away from them from us yes but I
always discuss it any further
fuck well then I guess I'm free to roam
sans Chapel I'll try not to disrupt the
almighty schedule too much
[Music]

looking for this you tis indeed I and
this I believe is yours with my
apologies oh sorry
how did you clean it up so fast magic
did the store have the same one I will
tell you on one condition
it's an ancient Ionian custom that a
knight on horseback who rudely troubles
a lady's hat by Tara lottery
that's cute but I get around none of you
must but aren't you forgetting something
if you're looking for another thank you
oh no I am I mean this how did you how
did you do that
Oh magician never reveals his secrets
unless he's plied with a very strong
coffee no honestly I I can't
the whole spontaneous thing it's not
really me well how about tonight
tonight is definitely less spontaneous
than right now you know what don't
answer let's just leave it to mystery if
you decide to come meet me at the
fountain at 8:30 if you decide otherwise
well then I hope you enjoy our little
kingdom I'm enjoying it already
[Music]
I'm enjoying it already I'm enjoying it
already what is wrong with you
good day Heights mr. wick good how fast
the hardest-working chief of staff in
the land oh well sir I can't complain
it's very kind of her majesty to lend us
her office my mother is nothing if not
generous um sorry I'm late uh no
apologies necessary but to our save us a
little time I've drafted something we
could use as a template for your
coronation speech correct thank you
citizens of Calpurnia assembled members
of assembled members this sounds like
something out of Frankenstein of course
well we can always adjust later as your
future monetize solemnly pledged no
Solomon
it's not funeral waetford can I ask you
something a bit off-topic of course what
are your thoughts on opening the
coronation up to the public
you know 21st century bring the people
in on the process well it's not really
much come on come on I'm not looking for
an official position just you know your
personal opinion mmm whilst I admire
your intentions I feel that the
coronation is a special tradition set
aside for the noble families
my mother already spoke Sudan she might
the law of succession is an immutable
I'm sorry this sounds nothing like me
well to be honest your highness I used
your late father's correlation speech as
a framework for this draft oh well that
explains a lot all right
once again case no one's noticed I'm not
my father of course your highness and we
will adjust as necessary and then he
asked me out a near miss with a
motorbike yeah that definitely counts as
an adventure I keep my promises
so you gonna mean it tonight no I don't
know should I
why not we're an ocean away from home if
you don't like him you don't ever have
to see him again
I guess thank you thank you oh I could
shadow you if you're worried you can
what you don't like go with you hang in
the background make sure he'd save what
are friends for
hello ladies might I interest you in a
souvenir I made them myself

trip to Rome what did I tell you you may
do your fundraising outside you may not
disturb the guests in here excuse me she
wasn't disturbing us I was actually just
looking for a souvenir for our trip
my apologies Mademoiselle you must
understand that management tends to
frown upon students showing leadership
and creativity
exactly iemon leader not to mention
creative
[Music]
please are you can quote statistics all
night long but the fact is the Arabian
is the only purebred race was left in
the world today not quite your Arabian
is the oldest but still a human develop
three so not technically pure what you
see honest oh I think they should ask
the horses whether they enjoy racing in
the first place the Royal equestrian
valley is one of your late father's
favorite traditions not old traditions
deserve to be continued but my Lords if
you'll excuse me your highness your
highness
ah there you are I want to introduce you

[Music]
hello you yo you're more than welcome to
sit anyway like
[Music]
I'm good at it but lately I feel a
little trapped like I'm following
someone else's plan yes like it was
expected of me to be a lawyer so I never
really gave anything else a try and then
it dawned on me at this interview yet
Here I am desperate for a job where I'll
be spending millions of hours just a cog
in a machine
maybe you should trust your instincts
don't do it not that simple
I mean it's a good career move I want
the security I need the salary and to be
fair my parents did give up a lot for me
to get to this point
ah yes never underestimate the power of
parental guilt yeah but it is also me
I've been on this path too long I'm too
scared to get off I know the feeling
I've had my life pretty much dictated
for me since before I was born
hmm let me guess I always wanted you to
be a doctor we have a family business
very old family business lots of rules
and regulations thank you
no mostly real estate it's a bit of
politics boring stuff
my late father was really good at
running it now my mother and everyone
else expects me to take over but
sometimes it's the last thing that I
want to do no siblings you don't have a
younger sister you couldn't pass the
torch to sadly no when I was younger I
loved to be in the only child now now
you like please I wish there was someone
else think obsess over for a while yes
[Music]
so come on out with it
tell me your secret excuse me I went for
coffee with you the trick with the watch
oh wow
you want to know the real secret yes the
secret is that you don't really want to
know well sir that's very presumptuous
of you you don't want to know because it
would ruin the mystery
do you enjoy the mystery too much to
ruin it I can see it in your eyes
Kenny oh yes
ah well it's late
thank you for your coffee I'm a mystery
you're very welcome
be free any other days were you here

tomorrow we can leave it to history okay
I'd like that
and I I had a great time
me too
[Music]
I worry about you riding that machine at
night thank you mother but I'm fine and
a bit old for a curfew when we were
young your father loved to go dancing on
Friday nights
did he but after his coronation he
stopped why because he realized it was
unseemly for a king to just be one of
the guys the people expect us to be
different separate we're not just
citizens
with symbols of state
that is just sad profoundly sad
goodnight mother
[Music]

he's never brought anyone here you are
the first his own mother doesn't have
anything about this
you're kidding the what we do here is
his food and he is very protective of it
see when he was a boy
Adrian was shocked to learn that there
are people in California less fortunate
than he so when he turned 18 he received
a large sum of money full of all trust
and he spent most of it setting up this
foundation which not only from
low-income families okay
funny the tabloids call him playboy
Prince
what kind of playboy spent most of his
money on this run some drills Phoenix
excuse me duty calls

only the truth and nothing back so this
is the real you huh well it's the part
of me I like best

this a secret when the press gets one
whiff of this and your whole public

what's going on over there
oh hi practice yeah some of the kids
aren't as into sports so we um I tell
you what can you just give me two
seconds just
[Music]
you don't like singing
not once day I used to be scared about
talking in front of people - and my
daddy was a big lawyer and he loves to
talk in front of a lot of people all the
time
he taught me a dream all you have to do
some imagining audience wearing clown
noses it might help you should give it a
try
[Music]
oh come on I have to know how did you
get hurt Singh I told you it's a secret
so you like mystery all right that's
fair but be warned I'm going to make it
my life's mission to find out your
life's mission oh then I guess that
means we'll be seeing each other again
only if you want I guess I do it's just
I'm only here for a short while and you
seem pretty busy I'll make time to you
that's sweet but don't you have a
coronation to get ready for yes milady
but we have people for that sort of
thing
I tell you what why don't you drop by
the palace for dinner tonight you said
you wanted to meet all of me this would
be your chance to see the other side wow
I I mean thank you but is the palace in
place you just drop by it is if you're
with the prince
all right how about I send a car to pick
you up in your hotel and we get you on
the guest list all proper like Maggie
trust me it'll be fun okay
great I can't believe that you're dating
a king he's not King yet and we're not
dating we're just enjoying each other's
company
I think that's the actual definition of
dating I don't know this one
does fancy enough I guess maybe next
time you should consider your wardrobe
before accepting a palatial invitation
[Music]
hello the Prince realized you might need
some assistance for this evening
[Music]
Wow dating a prince definitely has its
perks
[Music]
Adrienne's bringing a fist why wasn't i
performed at this before I am sorry your
majesty it's a last-minute addition I've
only just found out myself
would you like me to talk to the Prince
let's meet this person
but as with any palace visitor I assume
you'll run a full background check
absolutely right away
[Applause]
[Music]
thank you
[Music]
thank you I named pay that dress you did
I wish you would have told me it took me
an hour to make up my mind
[Music]
you're a beautiful or an Apache tank you
dress up pretty nice yourself your
highness
I guess that's not a joke that's your
real title I'm I'm chattering on him I'm
sorry the only other time I've been to a
castle was at Disneyland oh well well
not much for amusement rides here
well that dinner with my mother can be a
bit of a roller coaster mother may I
introduce
Maggie Marx an American visiting our
fair land from New York
Maggie this is my mother Queen Beatrice
of Calpurnia
[Music]
how do you do fine thank you welcome to
our home is Marx I'm delighted that you
could join us
since my forgetful son has kept
everything about you a mystery up till
now I'm either to make your acquaintance
she does love as mystery doesn't hear
indeed well I'm famished shall we
[Music]
Oh New York's lovely at this time of
year but not like here I mean to us
tourists you live in a fairy tale
so exactly do you know the Prince Street
I mean we we met on the street I ran
over her happy
oh how adorably uncivilized of you
perhaps it's time to give our American
guests a chance to eat your hearts I
hear the final arrangements for the
coronation moving along smoothly yes my
mother and staff have me on quite a
tight leash speaking of which I'd love
your opinion as an expert in government
affairs do you see any reason why we
shouldn't open the coronation to the
public ah the age-old question of modern
populism versus our a Socratic tradition
I believe your father may you rest in
peace said that there is an inverse
correlation between how long a monarch
has ruled and their desire to be seen as
one with the people it takes a while for
young rulers to realize that their job
is not to be popular but to govern no
it's not about being popular it's about
allowing our citizens to be part of a
ceremony that will very much affect
their lives well personally I appreciate
that the coronation is one of the few
traditions we have kept according to its
original centuries-old design people who
love the aristocracy because our
traditions give everyone a window into a
more civilized past as far back as the
Renaissance even the Middle Ages how do
you think Middle Ages were civilized and
the Renaissance wasn't great either we
didn't the Inquisition happened during
the Renaissance well certainly not here
no I I wasn't implying that and what
would be the American perspective on the
issue oh I I wouldn't want to meddle I
mean intrude no no no not at all we'd be
very grateful for your opinions as an
outsider
well of course I don't know as much as
all of you about the issue but I agree
with Adrienne I don't see anything wrong
and inviting the people to the
coronation wouldn't give the press
something positive to write about that's
exactly what I was saying I read a
survey recently that said the whole idea
of royalty is becoming quite obsolete
and not just in third world countries
so maybe connecting with the everyday
people would make them on orky more
relevant well I for one do not feel
obsolete no I didn't mean that
California is far from a third world
country
[Music]
dari I think time for more wine I'm so
sorry
no many will apologize to me I just
threw you to the banks there I had no
idea it would get that tense Hey I need
to speak to you Felix will see Miss
marks back to her hotel I'd rather take
her no no no problem at all Felix can
drive me please and again thank you so
much for your wonderful hospitality
dinner was delicious
and you have a beautiful home I'll give
your compliments to the chef
good night good night I'll call you in
bed okay sure
Adrian you hardly know that girl why did
you bring her here because I really like
her and I'm getting to know her you are
the future Kingdom
do you not understand the implications
you can't just date anyone you wish no
that's the thing you see I can a will
the rest of you just have to deal with
it
[Music]
once go for a walk
are you sure course I'm sure sort of a
lot of trouble for you maybe I like
trouble
give me a minute
[Music]
so I throw the sneaking around the back
streets it's just I get it you're not
just some guy much as I want to be maybe
you shouldn't try so hard to be someone
else
find your own way of being game easier
said than done
I don't know maybe I'm just not ready I
wish you could see yourself the way I
see you the way you are with those kids
at the church you're kind you're caring
you're funny
funny-looking make a wonderful King
well you're very kind but that's not
what makes a good ruler who defined that
your mother my dad was so good at it
like a dinner you would have run circles
around those Nobles and they're
pretentious nonsense he would have had
them and my mother agreeing to whatever
we wanted before the second course and
then thinking was their idea in the
first place so he's a master manipulator
pretty much I don't know how to do that
who says you have to you're more of a
doer than a talker anyway
oh well don't summer that's all it was a
great guy
no I I didn't mean that
you miss him when I was little
yam used to make up stories for me with
whatever was around like him
I give use here you'd say these lights
ah mystical flowers that bloom only at
night I think I wishes to other knows
how to unlock their secrets because as
they are we see the lights are magic
they turn your hair to gold you have a
beautiful way of seeing things
George is beautiful thank you your
highness
[Music]
I've never kissed a principal for him
how was it awesome
[Music]
I slept in and I still can't believe how
tired I am well that's what happens when
you stay out most of the night
what's happening please go back to your
room quickly have you seen the papers do
you ever think about the consequences of
your actions I messed up again
and I apologize why aren't you going to
see if Maggie's okay
to see if Maggie's okay what about us
it's your coronation in a few days we
have to mitigate the damage you have an
entire star to mitigate the damage you
don't need me here do you realize it's
not me you're avoiding it's yourself
your responsibility honestly sometimes
I'm glad your father's not here to see
this do you know what mother the truth
is you don't want me to take the crown
you want that back and that's not
happening yeah you know I'm not a puppet
and I never will be and I don't think my
father would want me to be one either
[Music]
although there has been no official
statement from the crown the young lady
in question appears to be Maggie Mart's
of Manhattan a nice alliteration not
funny yeah it just goes on to say that
you are a recent Law School graduate on
vacation Lola ah there is no mention of
me anywhere this is bad right before the
coronation to happen they must be going
crazy at the palace did you talk to him
yet she was going to voicemail
Adrian no it's dad
oh hi how are things at home hopping as
things are in Europe that made the US
papers no last night answer your father
googled Calpurnia to see if anything bad
was happening Maggie what exactly is
going on there between you and this
Prince nothing they're making a big deal
of nothing well that's good because from
here it looks rather embarrassing dad it
was just a kiss Brockton and Pierce take
appearances very seriously so what do
you want me to do that's not for me to
decide you've got a good head on your
shoulders I'm sure you'll do the right
thing love you love you too
What did he say I think he's expecting
me to go home did he even ask you if you
liked the guy you got my text are they
still out there yeah just some of our
more die-hard journalists vultures
really
[Music]
I was so sorry thank you it's not your
fault I'm up here here
[Music]
let's go to Paris what yeah
just for a couple of days be a lot more
fun than sneaking around here voiding
the vultures I'm not sure that's such a
good idea well your friend Sarah can
come too of course I'll get you guys
your own hotel suite everything that's
very generous of you but aren't you
being crowned in a few days
that's all send motion I'd rather spend
the time with you and I with you
but right now the whole country is
watching waiting to see what kind of
King you'll be and running off to Paris
with some American girl may not be the
best idea you're not just some do you
know what it doesn't actually matter
what I do the tabloids will print what
they want surprise them tell them about
the Children's Foundation no no I
wouldn't let them use their kids as
pawns even if it helps me you are so
wonderful I want everyone to see time
I'm just glad you see it sorry
[Music]
the palace no volleyball I have practice
in half an hour do you want to come I
would love to but I promised her I'd
finally go shopping of course well try
to stay clear of the vultures and if you
get into trouble
this is Felix's number he'll extricate
you anytime anywhere and bring you
straight to me thank you any other
expert advice on avoiding the purse
I have two words for you yes
winter wardrobe who knew your mom's
clothes would work so well as a disguise
why don't you say it a little louder so
everyone here sorry I can't believe
you've turned down Paris I just met him
this week okay so maybe he jumped the
gun a little bit
I should think but he's not just a guy
he's a prince like Oh Kate remember
Lainie Schwartzman with the crazy beard
who lived upstairs for me on 23rd Street
yeah okay so we go out in a few dates a
couple of good night kisses next thing
you know he wants me to drive out the
Poconos to meet his mom so Soho Prince
Adrian of Calpurnia taking in Paris it's
like Lenny Schwartz been taking me to
the Poconos their Royals they fly
everywhere who wouldn't want to live
like that oh no they must have seen the
tabloid what I should take this hello
it's Janice Brockton here Kenneth it's
so nice to hear from you

very reasonable offer but there's a
catch we need you to start right away

me as a little timid she'll go for the
safe choice
I'm so glad our background checks proved
useful your majesty there's really no
choice there's always a choice
like what give up the perfect job for
some guy adjust less for a prince you
just met that's irrelevant let me
rephrase that counsellor for our prince
that you're quickly falling for I'm not
oh please tell it to the judge how about
this perfect job but this be the same
meaningless jobs I had you're terrified
you'd reduce your life to billable hours
working in an office 24/7 a cog in the
machine I came here for vacation not to
have my life turned upside down let me
ask you a question
rushing back home like this doesn't make
you happy yes No
there are more important things in life
than just being happy oh of course
what was I thinking
[Music]
all right good game exchanger hey can we
talk yeah oh but before I forget um
what's this it's from little Katia she
made it you
she said it's a thank-you gift for
helping us thing what's wrong
they offered me the job in New York
that's great
they want me to start right away ah when
would you leave
a day after tomorrow a day of your
coronation
I see well of course you should go
I mean it would be crazy for you not to
right exactly
this is the job you weren't thrilled
about it's a really good career move
perfect one really no yeah of course
then after thinking I'm a huge
distraction for you like last night
no no I was just a hiccup stuff like
that happens all the time to you
that's me see we're from really
different worlds for me being with
someone as a personal decision for you
it's an active state
yeah
[Music]
well certainly thought this turn about
thoughts I'm sorry I didn't
[Music]
all right last night you told me not to
try so hard to be someone else to find
my own worth to be king so I asked you
honey of course I'll respect your
decision just make sure you're not
trying to live the life you think you
should instead of the life you want what
are you saying
stay Thanks

mother's happy she's getting the
coronation and the son that she always
wanted

understandable that you don't know her
at all and she doesn't know you at all

who you are don't give up neither should
you

memorize has to be perfect on the big

I was beautiful really really good what
I'm very proud um no I'm going to let
you in on a secret I asked but I'm here
to teach you that song because it's very
special to me you see my dad used to
sing it to me when I was a little boy so
thank you for making an old man very
happy it was great
were they good
[Applause]
what are you doing here that was quite
something I remember your father singing
it to you
so this is where you come on your
outings to town
this was all your idea yes why did you
move here oh he didn't I mean he drove
me here but it it wasn't his idea it was
your friend Maggie's she arrived at the
palace uninvited she burst into my
office and demanded to be seen and she
told me I didn't know my own son she was
adamant that there was something I ought
to see something that my convincement
that he wasn't just a dilettante
gallivanting about town that he was a
serious man ready to be a leader Maggie
told you all this yes
she felt she owed it to you before she
left for America she's still leaving
then
[Music]
yes
[Music]
but I've had an idea we should invite
the children to sing at your coronation
that very song would be a beautiful
tribute to your father's memory your
service invite the children yes
don't forsake let's just invite
everybody
everybody everybody yes
[Music]
special delivery from the palace
invitations to the coronation thank you

I mean can you get your dad to pull some
old boy networking strings and have them
wait an extra day I can't Oh sweetie I'm
so sorry of course I want to go see him
become king but I'm scared of what that
if I go I want to stay
with that pace so bad my real life isn't
here it's at home this is a vacation of
fantasy your life is whatever you make
it
[Music]
no need to put that on yet you've still
got hours before anyone shows up can't
sleep neither could I
she was right you know you're going to
make a wonderful King
I'm so very very proud of you I'm just
sorry it took a complete stranger to

of course forgive a foolish mother a
choice of words sorry Oh make sure to

[Music]
I did thank you
I'm sorry to see you go miss I'm sorry
to thank you for everything happy to be
of service let's get you to your car
then car oh my goodness I've been so all
over the place I forgot to call a taxi I
wouldn't exactly call it a taxi miss
[Music]
what's going on someone wants a word I
don't think I can please
[Music]
Adrian your majesty good morning miss
max
I know you're in a hurry well just my
plane oh I'll have them hold the plane
if necessary oh thank you first of all I
came to thank you for yesterday the
children
my son's work at his foundation it
really opened my eyes
I'm glad very glad and Adrian misses you
he's really suffering without you I miss
him too I have a confession to make a
rather embarrassing one
our family has sizable business dealings
in America a few days ago I instructed
my chief of staff to retain the firm
Brockton and Pierce to represent us in
three very lucrative negotiations you I
convinced them to offer you the job you
wanted
but to get rid of me yes as I am most
ashamed to admit oh you have to
understand they were delighted to have
you
you'd greatly impressed them so it
wasn't a difficult push but it was wrong
I thought I was protecting my son but
really I was protecting myself
[Music]
so
I'm going to make up for it
[Music]
[Applause]
what do you say wasn't Adrienne
it was the Queen she offered me a job
what she wants to expand Adrienne's
Children's Foundation not just here but
all over Europe try to get other royal
families to participate and you'd be its
legal counsel use my negotiation skills
to forge new partnerships so you get to
work with kids and you'd actually be
helping people this is so awesome that
sure beats all-nighters a Brockett
appears I gotta think about this it's
all happening too fast my flight leaves
in two hours
shall I call for that taxi miss yes
please
[Music]
[Applause]
and part of that pledge perhaps its most
important part is to make your concerns
my own and to listen to you all of you
which is why it was so important for me
to have you here because it is only
through the support and goodwill of the
people each and every citizen yes even
the members of our ubiquitous press that
monarchy has any place at all in a
modern government as someone very
special to me recently told me I'm more
of a doer than a talker so it is with a
handle heart and doors open to all and I
ask you to let me show you what I can do
for Calpurnia
for each and every one of you thank you
[Music]
your highness
so much for listening
[Music]
ladies and gentlemen citizens and loyal
subjects or may I present his royal
Majesty King Adrian of Calpurnia long
misery
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
congratulations your majesty if you'll
follow me this way the press would like
a few photographs I'm sorry I just need
a minute but Sir they've been good they
can wait
of course your majesty as you wish
[Music]
your head you sent the invitation gold
lettering at all what about your job
mysterious stranger once told me after
destroying my hats mind you that I
shouldn't follow someone else's plan
[Music]
and I may have some new ones
[Music]
like they include you sticking around
for one that's a thing I was thinking if
I'm gonna give up the job of a lifetime
yes
I might need to be persuaded
[Music]
how's that for style you're getting
there
you
make a wish
she made a wish on her 30th birthday
that I could see what my life with my
containers to see her future at 40 what
does her vision is only coming through
and now I will do this your face I think
you want militia stuff here yeah the
birthday wish premieres next Saturday at
9:00 on Hallmark Channel
