00:00:22🎵
00:00:33Was that okay?
00:00:34That was amazing.
00:00:35Those shenanigans might be better than mine.
00:00:38Great dress rehearsal.
00:00:39I'll see you all Friday for the show.
00:00:43How'd she do?
00:00:44Incredible.
00:00:45She's really coming out of her shell.
00:00:48She still having a tough time at school?
00:00:50There are good and bad days.
00:00:52The social worker told us to be patient.
00:00:54When you adopt a child later in life, it can take some time for them to feel secure, so...
00:00:57I think she'll get there.
00:00:59My mother used to say, each day is a gift wrapped in new paper.
00:01:03That is lovely.
00:01:05This program has been such a blessing for our family.
00:01:08I know that we're a little behind on tuition, but I just want to assure you, we'll be able to catch up soon.
00:01:12This pays you go for a reason.
00:01:16Don't worry about last month.
00:01:18Thank you, Chelsea.
00:01:19Merry Christmas.
00:01:20Merry Christmas.
00:01:22Merry Christmas.
00:01:30Your parents have some really cool things.
00:01:33After storage rates went up again, can't afford to hold on to all this anymore.
00:01:38Oh, look.
00:01:39It's little Chelsea.
00:01:41Look at those front teeth.
00:01:43Yeah.
00:01:48I thought I'd lost this.
00:01:49My adoption was finalized three days before Christmas.
00:01:53This was the first gift I opened that year.
00:01:56I bounced around to different families for a while, but when I saw this, our first Christmas, I knew I was finally home.
00:02:16Who is this?
00:02:17Who is this?
00:02:22That's my mother.
00:02:23My birth mother.
00:02:25Is she wearing a wedding dress?
00:02:27Oh, the necklace.
00:02:29I wonder what that pin means.
00:02:34Our place.
00:02:35Havenshire, December 23rd, 1987.
00:02:41That was nine months before I was born.
00:02:42Havenshire is part of a royal conglomerate of small, sovereign countries near Luxembourg, including Concordia, Eldoria.
00:02:52The man she's holding hands with, he's wearing a wedding ring.
00:02:56Do you think this could be your father?
00:02:58I never knew my father.
00:03:00I don't even know his name.
00:03:02What about your birth certificate?
00:03:04My mother left that line blank.
00:03:07Why?
00:03:08I'm not sure.
00:03:09I'd like to think she planned to tell me one day when I was old enough to understand.
00:03:16Maybe this is where you could find your answers.
00:03:39You were all fantastic.
00:03:40I am so proud of you.
00:03:42You worked so hard, too.
00:03:43And getting to see your remarkable progress has been the best Christmas gift I ever could have asked for.
00:03:49How about one more?
00:03:51Merry Christmas.
00:04:00A plane ticket?
00:04:02Ground trip to Havenshire along with four nights lodging.
00:04:05Everyone chipped in.
00:04:07This is too much.
00:04:09I can't accept this.
00:04:10You do so much for all of us.
00:04:20I'll expect updates when you get there.
00:04:24I appreciate what you're trying to do, but I can't fly halfway across the world so close to Christmas.
00:04:29Aren't you curious about what he's like?
00:04:31Your birth father?
00:04:33I've lived in the same city my entire life. He's never tried to contact me.
00:04:37Maybe he just wasn't meant to be, or maybe he's gone, too.
00:04:41But you could have siblings, or cousins, or nieces and nephews, all waiting to meet you.
00:04:46What if he doesn't want to see me?
00:04:49Anyone would be lucky to call you family.
00:04:54You always tell me that every day is a new gift.
00:04:57But, Chels, in order to see what's inside, you've got to unwrap it.
00:05:06Hello.
00:05:27Hello.
00:05:29Hi, um, excuse me, I'm looking for Klaus.
00:05:33Oh, you've found him.
00:05:35Ah.
00:05:36Checking in?
00:05:37Yes, uh, Chelsea Jones.
00:05:38Oh, well.
00:05:40Welcome to Havenshire, Miss Jones.
00:05:43You have picked a wonderful time of the year to visit.
00:05:46Many festive things to do here in our little hamlet.
00:05:49Aw.
00:05:50They've even asked me to play Santa this year.
00:05:52With a name like yours, I'm surprised they didn't ask sooner.
00:05:57Extra blankets are in the closet.
00:05:59Breakfast is served from six till nine.
00:06:02A lot of these events involve dancing.
00:06:05Dance is a large part of the Havenshire culture.
00:06:08We joke that before our children learn to speak, they learn to dance.
00:06:12Well, dance is just another form of expression.
00:06:15Hmm.
00:06:16I do believe you're going to enjoy your time here.
00:06:21Excuse me, do you know where this is?
00:06:32You're welcome.
00:06:34You have a good day.
00:06:36You too.
00:06:37Thanks.
00:06:39Bye.
00:06:41Bye.
00:06:44You're welcome.
00:06:47Bye.
00:06:51Hello.
00:06:53Name?
00:06:54Oh, I'm not on any list.
00:06:55Castle is closed to the general public until December 26th.
00:06:59I'm not going to the castle.
00:07:00I'm going to that building right over there.
00:07:02All entry past this point is restricted
00:07:03to the names on the list.
00:07:07Please.
00:07:09Come on, I traveled all the way from America
00:07:11just to get to that building.
00:07:14Oh, that building?
00:07:15Of course.
00:07:17After Christmas.
00:07:30Trying to sneak in, are we?
00:07:34Hi.
00:07:35Hi, I was just gonna help them with the tree.
00:07:40Merry Christmas.
00:07:44Then you wish me Merry Christmas and toss me out.
00:07:47Any advice on what to do?
00:07:50With all the royal celebration, security is tight.
00:07:53There'll be a lot of very important people there.
00:07:54It'll be hard to access that part of town.
00:07:57I never back down from a challenge,
00:07:59so I will figure out how to get past that gate.
00:08:04What publication are you with?
00:08:07Excuse me?
00:08:08I have to hand it to the tabloids.
00:08:09You are relentless.
00:08:10Do the royal family really sell that many papers
00:08:13that you'd risk your freedom?
00:08:14I'm not a reporter,
00:08:15and I'm not interested in the castle
00:08:16or the royal whoever.
00:08:19See, most people would be pretty eager
00:08:22to have a bit of time with the royal family.
00:08:25Guess I'm not most people.
00:08:29I'm looking for someone,
00:08:32but half the village is off limits, so I'm stuck.
00:08:35Oh, I see.
00:08:38Playing my song.
00:08:40Anyone on the dance floor,
00:08:41half off your Christmas cocoa.
00:08:47Well?
00:08:53You wanna dance?
00:08:54You wanna pay full price?
00:08:55Come on.
00:08:58Let's see what you've got.
00:09:06Okay.
00:09:16Okay.
00:09:41Who are you?
00:09:43Chelsea Jones.
00:09:45And you are?
00:09:47Grateful for the dance, Miss Jones.
00:10:08What do I owe you?
00:10:09It's been taken care of.
00:10:12Go.
00:10:16Guards change at 10 a.m.
00:10:18Sneak past if you're quick.
00:11:12Hi, Miss.
00:11:12Hi.
00:11:13Before you turn, tighten your stomach.
00:11:15It's not a big movement.
00:11:16Keep it small.
00:11:21Yes, so much better.
00:11:23We have provided you with three instructors.
00:11:26He has sent them all away, myself included.
00:11:29There must be someone else.
00:11:30I have given you my very best.
00:11:32There's no one left.
00:11:34What about her?
00:11:37Well, she's not one of ours.
00:11:38I know.
00:11:39Who is she, then?
00:11:39Great job.
00:11:40I have no idea.
00:11:42Ask yourself.
00:11:43Excuse me.
00:11:44Miss, I couldn't help but notice you
00:11:46in that young student there.
00:11:47Oh, I'm sorry.
00:11:48I didn't mean to overstep.
00:11:49I just wanted to show him some things
00:11:49I do with my own students.
00:11:51So you are a teacher?
00:11:52Yes, but I'm late for an appointment.
00:11:56That's all.
00:11:56My name's James.
00:11:58I work for the Royal Family.
00:11:59I've been tasked with finding a dance instructor
00:12:01for Prince Philip.
00:12:02Oh, thank you, but I'm not looking for a job.
00:12:05So nice to meet you.
00:12:05It is a pleasure to meet you.
00:12:07Nice to meet you.
00:12:08It is a temporary position
00:12:10in preparation of the Christmas Eve gala.
00:12:13We will, of course, pay the standard rates.
00:12:17I'm sorry.
00:12:18I'm only in town for a few days,
00:12:19and I don't even have my dance clothes or shoes,
00:12:21and I've just missed my appointment,
00:12:23so I'd like to get back to my hotel.
00:12:25We'll cover the accommodation for the week,
00:12:27transportation to and from the castle.
00:12:30As far as clothes,
00:12:31you can purchase what you need with this.
00:12:34The castle?
00:12:35So, if I teach the prince,
00:12:37then I can go beyond the gate?
00:12:40Naturally.
00:12:42When do I start?
00:12:49Hello again.
00:12:50Oh, that's me.
00:12:51Right there on the list, yes.
00:12:52Chelsea Jones, J-O-N-E.
00:12:55Yes, that's me.
00:12:56Top of the list.
00:13:06The dance you'll be teaching Prince Philip
00:13:08requires a particular sequence of moves.
00:13:10There can be no room for improvisation.
00:13:13You must adhere to a strict protocol.
00:13:15No improv, gotcha.
00:13:17Is that an original?
00:13:18Because of the lack of progress
00:13:20with the other three teachers,
00:13:21you will need to practice every day.
00:13:23What happened to them anyway?
00:13:24They were removed from their posts.
00:13:26Simply not up to the task.
00:13:28Now, we'll take immense focus and concentration.
00:13:32Oh, oh, sorry, sorry.
00:13:34So cute.
00:13:35Is that the prince?
00:13:36Indeed.
00:13:37Everything you need to know is in here.
00:13:39Okay, great.
00:13:43Oh, these are just variations
00:13:44on the standard waltz technique.
00:13:46This is gonna be adorable.
00:13:48Pardon me?
00:13:49Do we know who he's dancing with yet?
00:13:50Will she be here too?
00:13:52This is not yet known.
00:13:53It is, of course, an enormous decision
00:13:55not to be taken lightly.
00:13:57I will let Prince Philip know you have arrived.
00:13:59You may wait for him in the East Ballroom.
00:14:02You have a ballroom?
00:14:03We have three.
00:14:04You will be using the East Wing.
00:14:06You have the week.
00:14:07It's up to you to succeed where others have failed.
00:14:11Just down those stairs.
00:14:12Don't worry.
00:14:13Just leave the little guy to me.
00:14:15Oh.
00:14:15Oh.
00:14:16Oh.
00:14:17Oh.
00:14:18Oh.
00:14:19Oh.
00:14:20Oh.
00:14:20Oh.
00:14:21Oh.
00:14:22Oh.
00:14:23Oh.
00:14:24Oh.
00:14:25Oh.
00:14:25Oh.
00:14:26Oh.
00:14:27Oh.
00:14:28Oh.
00:14:29Oh.
00:14:30Oh.
00:14:30Oh.
00:14:31Oh.
00:14:32Oh.
00:14:34Oh.
00:14:43I see you found a way in.
00:14:47It's you.
00:14:49I thought you had no interest in the castle?
00:14:51And I thought you wore glasses.
00:14:53Do you live here?
00:14:55I suppose you were both misled.
00:14:57Oh, this is sort of a recent development.
00:14:59I've been hired to teach Prince Philip.
00:15:01Is that so?
00:15:02Yeah, apparently he's scared off all the local instructors.
00:15:06Oh, sorry.
00:15:07Is he your son or nephew or something?
00:15:10Ah, there you are.
00:15:11Your Highness, I'd like to introduce you
00:15:13to Miss Chelsea Jones.
00:15:15Miss Jones, Prince Philip.
00:15:18We've met.
00:15:21From your lesson, I suggest you not waste any more time.
00:15:26You're Prince Philip?
00:15:28It would appear so.
00:15:29So the photo in the hall.
00:15:30That was taken many years ago.
00:15:32Right.
00:15:34OK, well, I guess we can get started.
00:15:38No, I won't be dancing with you today.
00:15:41It's true, I usually work with kids.
00:15:42But I promise you, I'm more than qualified
00:15:44to teach you these steps.
00:15:45Well, I'm sure you are.
00:15:46But I have no interest in learning that dance.
00:15:50But I was hired to teach you that dance.
00:15:52Indeed.
00:15:54You're here for a lesson.
00:15:55Technically, yes.
00:15:57You won't be dancing?
00:15:58No, you're getting it.
00:16:00You're welcome to join me in a game.
00:16:03Naturally.
00:16:04Look, if you're not going to dance,
00:16:07I have somewhere else I could be.
00:16:14I don't feel bad.
00:16:16The finest instructors in all of Havenshire
00:16:18couldn't get me on that floor.
00:16:19You stood little chance of succeeding.
00:16:24I'm not from Havenshire.
00:16:27I'm from Chicago.
00:16:30And I can be very patient.
00:16:47En garde.
00:16:49Did you know, Chelsea, that when you move into a position
00:16:51to take your opponent's queen,
00:16:52the gentlemanly thing to do is to give a warning.
00:16:55En garde.
00:16:57You'd be amazed how many players admit
00:16:58this common sense of decency.
00:17:00Is that so?
00:17:01But I'm a gentleman, see?
00:17:02So I warned myself.
00:17:04En garde.
00:17:05You know, it's funny.
00:17:06You're actually one of the few people
00:17:07who will take a queen someday.
00:17:11Will you say en garde?
00:17:14Hmm.
00:17:16Perhaps.
00:17:18I can't tell if that's romantic or arrogant.
00:17:20Can't it be both?
00:17:24Seems like our time is up.
00:17:28Same time tomorrow?
00:17:29Looking forward to it.
00:17:34We shall bring that report to Parliament
00:17:36when they reconvene.
00:17:38Merry Christmas to you as well.
00:17:41Hi.
00:17:42Sorry, I think I took a wrong turn.
00:17:44Or maybe five.
00:17:46Oh, you're the queen.
00:17:49I am.
00:17:52And you are?
00:17:53Chelsea Jones.
00:17:54Ah, the new dance teacher.
00:18:00How is my son progressing?
00:18:02Well, it was just the first lesson.
00:18:04My son can be quite stubborn.
00:18:07Oh, fortunately, so can I.
00:18:09I am glad to hear it.
00:18:13They're by the clock.
00:18:15Hmm?
00:18:16Your glasses.
00:18:19Observant to.
00:18:21Oh.
00:18:24Well, um, it was an honor to meet you.
00:18:26I'll just see myself out.
00:18:27Mm-mm.
00:18:28Oh.
00:18:29It's all right.
00:18:32Sorry, which way is the exit?
00:18:34Take a left at the end of the hall.
00:18:43Finally.
00:18:46OK, Mom, why were you here?
00:18:50Oh.
00:18:55Havenshire Museum of Art and Antiquities.
00:19:11Of course, I'd find it on a Wednesday at 5.
00:19:17Hm?
00:19:18Mother, may I have a word?
00:19:19Yes.
00:19:20What?
00:19:24I met your new instructor.
00:19:27I had no idea James's search for a suitable replacement
00:19:31would take him all the way to America.
00:19:33Huh, yes.
00:19:34Well, Chelsea seems very talented.
00:19:37And just how did you discern that
00:19:39from behind your chessboard?
00:19:42I'm not sure that I see the need for these lessons.
00:19:46I think you do.
00:19:47Well, our guests arrive tomorrow.
00:19:52Have you made your decision?
00:19:54Well, that is why I need more time.
00:19:58And I've given it to you.
00:20:00But there are expectations, Philip.
00:20:03It must be this Christmas Eve.
00:20:06Who will she be?
00:20:16Thanks.
00:20:30Wait for us.
00:20:32On guard.
00:20:36Go right upstairs and get washed up.
00:20:38It's almost dinner.
00:20:40Ah.
00:20:41To be young and full of such energy.
00:20:44Those your grandchildren?
00:20:45No.
00:20:46My wife, Hannah, and I foster Hans and Gregor.
00:20:48They're brothers.
00:20:49Have you considered adopting them yourselves?
00:20:51We would in a heartbeat.
00:20:53My wife and I have submitted the paperwork,
00:20:55but the process has been difficult.
00:20:57Apparently, there's some backlog at the agency.
00:21:01There are many challenges, but they are worth it.
00:21:05Now, who's winning?
00:21:07Me.
00:21:09Also, I'm losing.
00:21:16May I ask what you're doing?
00:21:18You can play chess by yourself.
00:21:19I can dance by myself.
00:21:22Touche.
00:21:23Besides, if someone walks by,
00:21:25everybody will think we're really doing a lesson,
00:21:27and then I won't lose my job.
00:21:28You know, I'll happily double whatever they're paying you.
00:21:31Please, why don't you sit down?
00:21:34I'm sure a barm stylist doesn't have
00:21:36the luxury of having a barm stylist.
00:21:38I'm not a barm stylist.
00:21:39I'm a barm stylist.
00:21:40I'm a barm stylist.
00:21:41I'm a barm stylist.
00:21:42I'm a barm stylist.
00:21:43I'm a barm stylist.
00:21:44I'm sure a barm stylist is different from what you're used to,
00:21:47but actually, last night, I read a quote
00:21:50from a chess grandmaster.
00:21:52If you wish to succeed, you must brave the risk of failure.
00:21:55Of failure?
00:21:55But you're not going to fail.
00:21:57You're going to do great.
00:21:58Look, it's not a matter of difficulty.
00:21:59It's a matter of desire.
00:22:01I have no wish to learn.
00:22:02Why?
00:22:03I mean, you love to dance.
00:22:05In the pub, you asked him.
00:22:07Nobody knows I was in the pub that day.
00:22:10Is it not allowed?
00:22:11No.
00:22:12I'm required to travel with a security detail
00:22:14beyond the castle walls.
00:22:15But a man can only spend so long under the watchful eye of others.
00:22:20So you put on a hat and some glasses,
00:22:23and people really don't know it's you?
00:22:24Many indulge me.
00:22:27It is exhausting to always be in the spotlight.
00:22:29I require a reprieve.
00:22:31A reprieve, where people pretend not to recognize you.
00:22:34Look, I don't expect you to understand.
00:22:36You're a dancer.
00:22:37You flourish under the bright lights.
00:22:38I'm not some big-time stage performer.
00:22:40My mother was a real dancer.
00:22:42I'm just a teacher.
00:22:44Everyone in my life expects something from me.
00:22:48I need something.
00:22:50It's, you know, mine alone.
00:22:53Why can't we have that here?
00:22:55No expectations.
00:22:56Just two people dancing.
00:22:59Disguise optional.
00:23:03Why are you here, really?
00:23:05Why did you have to get past the gates
00:23:07if you've no interest in royalty?
00:23:09And what brings a dance teacher from America
00:23:11to Heavenshire in the first place?
00:23:13I'm looking for information about my biological family.
00:23:17My mother died when I was very young,
00:23:19but I found a photo of her from a Christmas
00:23:22she spent here in Heavenshire.
00:23:25And she was with someone, I think my father.
00:23:27They were standing in front of a building that seemed
00:23:29really important to them somehow.
00:23:32Anyway, that's the museum beyond the gate, so.
00:23:36And if I don't dance, you lose this job and any chance
00:23:38to discover more about it.
00:23:44The best reason I've had to dance yet.
00:23:50In dance, the most important thing is posture.
00:23:53For the man, that's straight up and down,
00:23:55like a Christmas tree.
00:23:56Yeah, very good.
00:23:57And then the arms stretch out like the branches,
00:24:00nice and tall.
00:24:03I'm already quite tall.
00:24:05Well, that's OK.
00:24:06How tall is the woman you're dancing with?
00:24:08That is as yet unknown.
00:24:10Well, you can bend your knees a little if you want,
00:24:12but your top half should be upright.
00:24:14Regal, actually.
00:24:15Well, I'll drive that down.
00:24:17And since we're doing a strict waltz,
00:24:19we'll remain in this basic position the entire time.
00:24:21Yeah, that's good.
00:24:22You've done this before.
00:24:24Just enough to be dangerous?
00:24:26Well, we can jump into the choreography.
00:24:28OK.
00:24:29OK, it starts with you offering me your hand.
00:24:32I step forward and into position.
00:24:36And then we sway.
00:24:381, 2, 3.
00:24:39And then on the 3, step over to your left.
00:24:41And then 1, 2, 3.
00:24:43Very good.
00:24:44And now we start a spin turn, OK?
00:24:47And oh, oh, it's called a spin turn,
00:24:53but you don't actually spin me.
00:24:54We actually spin together in that same position like this.
00:24:58Right.
00:24:591, 2.
00:25:00Yeah, there you go.
00:25:01Let's try again from the top.
00:25:03OK.
00:25:04And don't spin me.
00:25:06OK.
00:25:08OK, here we go.
00:25:11And 1, 2, 3.
00:25:161, 2, 3, 4.
00:25:20Ah, wonderful.
00:25:25Hello, Mother.
00:25:27Your Majesty.
00:25:28It seems my worries were unfounded.
00:25:30You're progressing quite well, but there's no spin.
00:25:34Yes, Mother.
00:25:35Of course, Your Highness.
00:25:36I'm sorry to interrupt, but our guests
00:25:38have arrived ahead of schedule.
00:25:40Your presence is requested at the receiving line.
00:25:43Of course.
00:25:44I'm afraid we'll have to leave it there for today.
00:25:46OK.
00:25:48Great job.
00:25:59Oh, sorry.
00:26:01Sorry.
00:26:03Come with me.
00:26:05Staff members are required to form a greeting line
00:26:08for the arriving guests of the royal family as is protocol.
00:26:19Who's that?
00:26:20Tobias Salisbury, the former Duke of Eldoria,
00:26:25Havenshire's largest trade partner.
00:26:27Former?
00:26:28Shh.
00:26:29Tobias, my dear friend, I'm so happy you could join us.
00:26:33As always, Your Majesty.
00:26:34The pleasure is entirely mine.
00:26:39Your name?
00:26:40Gwendolyn Harrington, the Duchess of Concordia,
00:26:44Prince's dearest friend.
00:26:48All this fuss, do you ever get used to it?
00:26:51Merry Christmas, Mother.
00:26:52Merry Christmas.
00:26:55Your Majesty.
00:26:56Elizabeth Kent, daughter of a prominent parliamentary member.
00:27:03Are we all staying here at the castle?
00:27:05Yes.
00:27:07For enough bedrooms?
00:27:08It is a castle.
00:27:12So we just stand here in the greeting line and just like?
00:27:15Yes.
00:27:17Silently.
00:27:26Miss Jones.
00:27:27Miss Jones.
00:27:29You left this behind.
00:27:32For you, in case you wanted to look at the choreography for tomorrow.
00:27:35Okay.
00:27:36Yeah.
00:27:39Let me walk you home.
00:27:41I thought you weren't supposed to go into town without your security detail.
00:27:44Ah.
00:27:47Incognito.
00:27:48Okay.
00:27:51You know, your mother, the Queen, thinks I'm teaching you to dance wrong.
00:27:55Why did you keep spinning me?
00:27:58Well, I suppose that my desire for freedom invades even my dance lessons.
00:28:03Or maybe it's just that spinning you is so much fun.
00:28:06I don't get so much of that in my life.
00:28:08Fun?
00:28:09Or freedom?
00:28:12Either.
00:28:14Don't get me wrong.
00:28:15I love my country.
00:28:17I love serving my people.
00:28:18The castle seems really fun.
00:28:21I mean, that's what you dream about as a kid.
00:28:24Living in a castle.
00:28:27Or magical.
00:28:30When I'm in the castle, I'm usually working on diplomacy or other matters of state.
00:28:35Slowly but surely, alleviating my mother's workload.
00:28:40Soon enough, I'll take over completely.
00:28:43My mother's expressive desire to step down.
00:28:47So you'll become king?
00:28:49Yes.
00:28:50But in Havenshire, king is expected to be married.
00:28:56Did you know that there is an old Havenshire superstition
00:28:59that if you put your Christmas stocking underneath your pillow that night,
00:29:02you'll dream of the one that you'll marry?
00:29:05Really?
00:29:06No.
00:29:07Come on!
00:29:08Did you just push the Prince of Havenshire?
00:29:10Only because he deserved it.
00:29:14Hang on! No! Stop!
00:29:16I must defend a lady's honour!
00:29:19Look at that!
00:29:20Oh!
00:29:22Good arm, young man.
00:29:25I've got you.
00:29:27Yeah.
00:29:28Yeah, you'd better run.
00:29:33That was fun.
00:29:35Tomorrow, it's the castle Christmas breakfast. 10 a.m. Come.
00:29:39Isn't that for the guests?
00:29:40Yes. You'll be my guest.
00:29:43Please.
00:29:46We can't dance on an empty stomach.
00:29:49Okay. I'll be there.
00:29:51Great.
00:29:54Don't forget this.
00:30:01Merry Christmas.
00:30:04Mr Jones, what are you doing?
00:30:06I thought that's how you greet the guests.
00:30:08That was a chambermaid.
00:30:11This event is invitation only.
00:30:13Yes. Yes, she has one.
00:30:15It's most unorthodox, Your Highness.
00:30:17Oh, well, let me worry about that, James.
00:30:21You look fantastic.
00:30:22Come in.
00:30:24Thanks.
00:30:25Chelsea, I'd like you to meet Elizabeth Kent.
00:30:27Elizabeth leads our commission on monetary policy and economic growth.
00:30:30Wow. Nice to meet you.
00:30:33Are...
00:30:35Are you the American consulate?
00:30:37Chelsea is my dance teacher.
00:30:42Philip?
00:30:44Ah.
00:30:45I'm sorry I have to leave, but please do stay and enjoy the food.
00:30:50You certainly have enough of it.
00:31:05Oh, that's decoration.
00:31:08Oh, thank you.
00:31:10You're welcome.
00:31:10A little bit embarrassing.
00:31:11Oh, so that's also decoration?
00:31:14Maybe I should stick to the waffles.
00:31:16This is a waffle, right?
00:31:17Yes.
00:31:18May I recommend the Christmas entremet or my favourite, the claifoutis?
00:31:24Try it, just don't expect me to say it.
00:31:28Thank you for your help.
00:31:29I feel so out of place.
00:31:31Well, we belong where we decide we belong.
00:31:35I'm Gwen.
00:31:37Chelsea.
00:31:38Such a pleasure to meet you.
00:31:39You too.
00:31:40How do you know Philip?
00:31:41I'm his dance teacher.
00:31:43Oh.
00:31:44Oh, I do not envy you.
00:31:47Philip and I grew up together, and I am very familiar with this Dublin streak.
00:31:53Are you staying at the castle?
00:31:54Uh, no.
00:31:55No.
00:31:56I'm actually between accommodations right now.
00:31:57I was staying at this inn down the road, but my reservation's almost up.
00:32:01Oh, well, I'm sure we can find you a room here.
00:32:03Oh.
00:32:04I will talk to the Queen.
00:32:05No, no, no, no, please don't do that.
00:32:06No, it's no trouble at all.
00:32:07Uh, no, no.
00:32:08Uh.
00:32:12That was quite presumptuous.
00:32:14What?
00:32:16Seems she's making herself right at home.
00:32:19She expects Philip to propose to her on Christmas Eve.
00:32:26Premiering Saturday, the-
00:32:28Section ends with an over sway.
00:32:30I come around this way.
00:32:32Yes.
00:32:32The more stretched, the better.
00:32:34Remember, stay tall.
00:32:35Like a Christmas tree?
00:32:36Yeah.
00:32:37Beautiful.
00:32:39That's what I was going to say.
00:32:43Water break?
00:32:45Yes.
00:32:46Yes.
00:32:47Great.
00:32:50Oh, thank you.
00:32:51You're welcome.
00:32:52You know, it is taking every ounce of my self-restraint not to run and slide across this floor.
00:33:00Oh, well, surely you've slid across this floor in socks at some point.
00:33:04No.
00:33:04What, not even as a kid?
00:33:06Oh, come on!
00:33:07Barn floors are the best for sliding, and this one has just the right smoothness.
00:33:11Now, believe it or not, there is a protocol for how one walks through public areas of the castle.
00:33:14No running, and definitely no sliding.
00:33:17No fun or freedom?
00:33:18Exactly.
00:33:21How was the breakfast?
00:33:22I'm so sorry that I couldn't spend more time with you.
00:33:24I met Gwen.
00:33:25She is-
00:33:26She's amazing.
00:33:27She's beautiful, and she's so nice.
00:33:29Congratulations.
00:33:31How long have you been together?
00:33:33Oh, no.
00:33:34No, we're not.
00:33:35Oh.
00:33:36Sorry, I thought I heard-
00:33:37That I was going to propose.
00:33:41Yeah.
00:33:43That is a possibility.
00:33:44I'm lost.
00:33:47It's complicated.
00:33:48I'm sorry, you don't have to tell me.
00:33:50No, no, no, it's not that.
00:33:54Would you like to go for a walk?
00:33:56Sure.
00:33:59The reason that I'm reluctant to learn the dance is that it's part of a centuries-old tradition that I've been putting off for many years.
00:34:07After dancing with various guests throughout the evening, I'm expected to perform that particular waltz with the person that I choose to marry.
00:34:16At the Christmas ball, I will signal for the song to play, and the bells will ring, and everyone will know my choice as the waltz begins.
00:34:28That sounds like the ball in Cinderella.
00:34:30The prince dancing with ladies and choosing a bride?
00:34:33Indeed.
00:34:34As gained the nickname the Cinderella Christmas ball.
00:34:37But in modern times, surely you would know ahead of time who you're proposing to.
00:34:43The dance is just a formality, right?
00:34:46For generations now, yes.
00:34:49But you haven't chosen yet.
00:34:53No.
00:34:54And you will before Christmas?
00:34:57It is my duty to do so.
00:35:00I have more to consider than my happiness.
00:35:02My mother, she's earned her rest.
00:35:05And here I thought you were just trying to get out of some dance lessons.
00:35:10I'm sorry.
00:35:12Don't be.
00:35:14You have been a breath of fresh air.
00:35:20Oh, Tobias.
00:35:23I am so glad you could join us for this momentous occasion.
00:35:28Has Philip shared his decision?
00:35:33I am unsure if one has been made.
00:35:35He has fought it every step of the way.
00:35:39It's not a choice one should make, likely.
00:35:41I wed Frederick when we were teenagers.
00:35:45The greatest success of my life.
00:35:48Not everyone has a love story like you and Frederick.
00:35:57Yes, so it turns out it was important all along.
00:36:00Every mother's face was priceless.
00:36:04Are you alright, Chelsea?
00:36:06Who are they?
00:36:08This is the Polly Berry Ballet Company.
00:36:10They perform at the castle every Christmas.
00:36:13Would you excuse me?
00:36:14Of course.
00:36:15I'll get your bag.
00:36:21Excuse me.
00:36:22I'm Chelsea.
00:36:23You don't know me.
00:36:24I think my late mother might have been a part of your ballet company years ago.
00:36:27She was a dancer.
00:36:30This is her.
00:36:32It looks like she might have been wearing a Polly Berry ballet pin.
00:36:35It's possible your mother danced with us as a guest soloist at some point.
00:36:40The picture was taken in 87.
00:36:42Were you part of the troupe back then?
00:36:43No.
00:36:44I didn't take over until much later.
00:36:47But we do keep records of past rosters.
00:36:50I'd be happy to look into it for you.
00:36:52Oh my goodness.
00:36:53Thank you so much.
00:36:54If your mother danced with the troupe, she most certainly performed here at the castle.
00:36:59Oh wow.
00:37:00Oh wow.
00:37:08Morning.
00:37:09There you go, Klaus.
00:37:10Good morning.
00:37:12I am sorry we couldn't extend your stay.
00:37:14Were you able to find suitable arrangements?
00:37:17Yes, I was.
00:37:18Happy to hear it.
00:37:19Thank you for everything.
00:37:20And I'll see you at the family foster Santa event.
00:37:22Of course.
00:37:23Okay.
00:37:24Where will you be staying?
00:37:26The castle, actually.
00:37:29I know.
00:37:30I'm teaching the prince a dance.
00:37:31It's a long story.
00:37:32Wonderful.
00:37:34I thought you two got on well the other day.
00:37:36You never know what tomorrow might bring.
00:37:38Each day is a gift from God wrapped in new paper.
00:37:41My mother used to say that.
00:37:43Sounds like your mother was a smart lady.
00:37:45See you.
00:37:46Take care.
00:37:51Moving in, are we?
00:38:03Oh, does this fold out into a bed?
00:38:05This is the sitting room.
00:38:08My room has a room?
00:38:10If you have any questions, please ask a footman.
00:38:12I will be available after 2 p.m.
00:38:14and I shall call upon you then.
00:38:16Thanks.
00:38:24I think my mother toured with an international ballet company
00:38:26and danced here, at the castle.
00:38:28Really?
00:38:29Yeah.
00:38:30I knew she was a dancer,
00:38:31but nobody could really tell me much more than that.
00:38:33So, do you think somebody at the castle might remember her?
00:38:35I hope so.
00:38:36Okay, can we go back to the part where you're moving in
00:38:38with one of your friends?
00:38:39Okay, can we go back to the part where you're moving in with royalty?
00:38:42And is that normal?
00:38:43For a dance instructor to move into the castle?
00:38:46Nothing about this trip has been normal.
00:38:48Philip is a dreamboat.
00:38:49You should go for it.
00:38:50Okay, back to the real world.
00:38:52I'm going to go ask around the castle and see.
00:38:55You could totally be Cinderella.
00:38:57No, no. Snow White?
00:38:59Goodbye, Rebecca.
00:39:10Excuse me, does this woman look familiar?
00:39:19The Holly Berry Ballet Company.
00:39:20She would have been here the Christmas of 87.
00:39:25Here you go.
00:39:26I attend to countless guests.
00:39:28The odds of me recalling a single dancer are slim.
00:39:31Could you just look at the photo?
00:39:33You know, if you loosened your tie,
00:39:35you might be a little more comfortable.
00:39:36Oh, I stopped there.
00:39:37I could simply trade my uniform for a T-shirt and a pair of flip-flops.
00:39:41That's a tough look, but I think you could pull it off.
00:39:44We have a dress code, Miss Jones.
00:39:46It is...
00:39:47Protocol, right.
00:39:48Oh, they never get these right.
00:39:50Trade?
00:39:55Do you recognize her?
00:39:57She does look familiar, but I couldn't say why.
00:40:02You probably saw her here performing.
00:40:04Her husband, my father, might have been with her.
00:40:07Do you have any memory at all?
00:40:09I don't.
00:40:11Sorry, I can't help more.
00:40:14I got this.
00:40:21So, tell me, how's the search for information on your mother going?
00:40:25Oh, well, I've been showing the photo to some older staff members around the castle.
00:40:29Nothing yet.
00:40:30Can I see the photo?
00:40:31Sure.
00:40:40What's your mother's name?
00:40:42Jean.
00:40:43She's very beautiful.
00:40:45You have her eyes.
00:40:50She passed away when I was five, so all I have left of her are a few photos.
00:40:54And this necklace.
00:40:56It's lovely.
00:40:57You know, this is Havenshire Museum.
00:41:00I'm hoping to find some answers when it opens Monday morning, so.
00:41:04Keep this photo, just for tonight.
00:41:06I'd like to show my mother, see if she can shed any light on it.
00:41:16And she danced here?
00:41:18We believe so.
00:41:20Do you recognize her?
00:41:22I'm not entirely sure.
00:41:24But we have had many talented dancers come to the castle.
00:41:29Including her daughter, your teacher.
00:41:32Indeed.
00:41:34She's waited a lifetime for answers.
00:41:36I hope to help her find them.
00:41:39She's important to you.
00:41:41She's helping me.
00:41:43I think it's only right that I return the favor.
00:41:45Of course.
00:41:55Come in.
00:41:58Hi.
00:42:00Heading to the pub?
00:42:02No, somewhere very special.
00:42:04Would you like to join me?
00:42:06Sure.
00:42:10This is incredible.
00:42:12It's almost time.
00:42:14What are we waiting for?
00:42:18Havenshire does love its bells.
00:42:21Bells that signal my choice of a bride on Christmas Eve.
00:42:27For generations, these bells have rung every night of Christmas week.
00:42:33These bells, they bring me peace.
00:42:36Especially when things feel uncertain.
00:42:40They're beautiful.
00:42:43I envy you.
00:42:45Me?
00:42:47You look at the world with such possibility.
00:42:50While I steal moments behind a pair of glasses.
00:43:00I wish you had known my father.
00:43:02He was kind and brilliant.
00:43:05Ruled with such self-assurance.
00:43:08Strong and serious.
00:43:12And now my mother, she leaves with wisdom and grace.
00:43:16The truth is,
00:43:18the moment that I make my choice, the moment I step out onto the floor for that dance,
00:43:22I accept an incredible responsibility.
00:43:28I will be king.
00:43:31How can I help to live up to their legacy? I'm nothing like them.
00:43:35Why do you have to be like them?
00:43:37There are expectations that come with being king.
00:43:40You can't go to the local pub, you can't mix in crowds.
00:43:42You can't go to the local pub, you can't mix in crowds with or without a disguise.
00:43:47Is it so bad to mix with crowds in public from time to time?
00:43:51It's not proper kingly behavior, I'm afraid.
00:43:55I just, I don't know how I'd understand people's needs from afar.
00:44:00You know, to hear bits of conversation, hear their real concerns.
00:44:04Yeah, that sounds invaluable as a leader.
00:44:06I've never, never seen my parents at a pub.
00:44:13I just, I can't shake the feeling that I don't belong on the throne.
00:44:22Maybe you were meant to forge your own path as king.
00:44:28Apologies. I don't mean to burden you with my problems.
00:44:33I don't feel burdened.
00:44:35It's because you're a wonderful person.
00:44:43My mother, she said the woman in the photograph did look familiar.
00:44:48But she couldn't shed any more light on it than that, I'm afraid.
00:44:53I really appreciate you even asking.
00:44:56We will find what you're looking for. I promise.
00:45:02We?
00:45:04You're not alone.
00:45:08I've never brought anyone here before.
00:45:10Well, thank you for sharing it with me.
00:45:15And for whatever it's worth, I think you'll make an incredible king, just the way you are.
00:45:36I'm afraid we're going to have to postpone our lesson tomorrow.
00:45:38It's the Christmas tree Christmas tea.
00:45:41What is that, besides a mouthful?
00:45:44Well, it is just a little celebration where guests bring ornaments with sentimental meaning
00:45:48and then we decorate the royal Christmas tree.
00:45:51While drinking tea?
00:45:53Yes, yes, indeed.
00:45:56Will I see you there?
00:45:58Okay.
00:46:00Excellent.
00:46:02Excellent, that's...
00:46:03Excellent, that's...
00:46:06Well, er, goodnight, Chelsea.
00:46:09Goodnight.
00:46:23Philip! Philip!
00:46:25Ah, welcome. So glad you could make it.
00:46:28I don't envy his position.
00:46:31I'm Tobias Salisbury.
00:46:33I'm Chelsea Jones.
00:46:35No need for such formalities, Miss Jones.
00:46:38I just don't want to offend anyone, so I've been doing it to everyone I meet.
00:46:41The footmen outside were pretty confused, but in my defense, their uniforms are very official.
00:46:47I hear you've made quite an impression during your brief stay.
00:46:51Is that good or bad?
00:46:53Always good.
00:46:55Sometimes a boat needs to be rocked.
00:46:58I'm not here to rock any boats.
00:47:00Don't you remind me of the heroine of an Eldorian fairytale my grandmother used to read me as a child.
00:47:05Classic, yet unafraid about the system.
00:47:11It is so lovely to see you, my dear.
00:47:15How is Edwina?
00:47:17It has been far too long.
00:47:19She's well, thank you. She sends her best.
00:47:21Your Majesty, congratulations on a superb event.
00:47:24Why, thank you, Elizabeth.
00:47:25The Christmas festivities always have such profound economic benefits to the community.
00:47:30That is a benefit, to be sure.
00:47:33But Christmas reminds us to be the best part of ourselves.
00:47:38A little kinder, a little more generous.
00:47:41I think we can all drink to that.
00:47:45That's an ornament.
00:47:48How are you enjoying the spread?
00:47:50Oh, it's great. It's great. I just think there should be more labels.
00:47:53Is that it?
00:47:56It's tough being the most popular guy in the room.
00:47:58Right.
00:48:00Since this is an occasion all about ornaments, I thought you might like to have this.
00:48:06I don't remember.
00:48:08Fairmore Walk.
00:48:10Well, I better do the rounds.
00:48:14Yeah.
00:48:21Elizabeth, it's a lovely party, isn't it?
00:48:23Oh yes, it's very.
00:48:25Did you know Tobias used to be a duke back in his country?
00:48:29Yeah, what happened?
00:48:31He fell in love with the wrong woman.
00:48:35There are expectations for people like Mr. Salisbury and Philip.
00:48:40When they select a partner, they must consider what is best for a nation.
00:48:45Mr. Salisbury made a selfish choice and it cost him dearly.
00:48:50Philip will not make the same mistake.
00:48:54I've been taking a few waltz lessons of my own.
00:48:57I'll be ready for that dance you're teaching him.
00:49:00Enjoy the grapes.
00:49:08You are becoming distracted from your objective.
00:49:12It's a relic, Mother. All of this pomp and pageantry for what?
00:49:18A diplomatic alliance.
00:49:20I thought you were fond of Gwendolyn.
00:49:21I am, but…
00:49:23Ah, Elizabeth is a fine choice.
00:49:26She is not royalty.
00:49:28Do you know that Eldoria recently opened its protocols allowing for established political families to intermarry with royalty?
00:49:35We have no problem with it.
00:49:39Gwen and Elizabeth both have much to offer.
00:49:44It is an opportunity for happiness if only you would embrace it.
00:49:48I will.
00:49:50You are ready.
00:49:53To marry?
00:49:55To become king.
00:49:57Your diplomatic instincts are spot on.
00:50:00Your reform proposals have made a real improvement with our domestic policies.
00:50:08Why do you doubt yourself?
00:50:10Why didn't you and Father ever go out in public?
00:50:13You know, just go to a restaurant, talk to people.
00:50:17Is that what's bothering you?
00:50:19Sometimes I feel the need to…
00:50:21To put on a hat and glasses and pretend not to be royal.
00:50:26You know about that?
00:50:28Mm-hmm.
00:50:33Your father was a very good man.
00:50:36He was a very good man.
00:50:38Your father was a very private king.
00:50:42He didn't keep himself from the public because it was the kingly thing to do.
00:50:46It's just that he was more comfortable away from the crowds.
00:50:51He and I have taken care of our people from afar.
00:51:01You might take care of them from closer up.
00:51:04Forge my own path.
00:51:11Take courage, Philip.
00:51:14You're going to be just fine.
00:51:34Philip?
00:51:36What are you doing here?
00:51:38Today's the day. I didn't think I'd miss it.
00:51:41Shall we?
00:51:48Another room. This place is huge.
00:51:52What exactly are we looking for?
00:51:55I'm not sure.
00:51:57Ah, so we'll know it when we see it.
00:51:59I hope so.
00:52:01You know, with every year that passes, I feel like my mother gets further away.
00:52:07My memories of her get hazier.
00:52:11I just thought this might be a chance to connect with her somehow.
00:52:16This is just one gallery. There's still much of the museum left to explore.
00:52:30Oh my gosh.
00:52:32What is it?
00:52:34Do you recognize her?
00:52:36Not her. This.
00:52:39Your pendant.
00:52:41It can't be a coincidence, can it?
00:52:43No, it can't be.
00:52:45This is it.
00:52:47Wow.
00:52:49Oh, sorry.
00:52:51No, no. Gosh, I'm so happy for you. This is...
00:52:54There's no information on the woman's identity. And no artist.
00:52:57Hold on. Ah, yes.
00:53:01It says here that it was donated by a private collector.
00:53:06Artist and subject unknown.
00:53:09Is there a theory on who she might have been?
00:53:11It is unlikely to have originated in Havenshire due to the style of the headpiece.
00:53:17Not much more.
00:53:19But I can certainly ask the Board of Broad Historians to look into it.
00:53:25But that is incredible.
00:53:27Wow.
00:53:29You think they're my mother's mother? Are my mother's mother's mother?
00:53:33And here I thought she was from Detroit.
00:53:35Well, perhaps she was. Maybe the necklace was a gift.
00:53:38Oh.
00:53:40And listen, before I forget, I have made arrangements for the royal dressmaker to stop by your room tomorrow before our lesson.
00:53:45For what?
00:53:47The ball.
00:53:49I didn't realize staff was invited.
00:53:51Well, they're not. But you're special.
00:53:54You're the...
00:53:55You're the prince's dance instructor.
00:53:58Do you see the fruits of your labour?
00:54:00I still think it's too much.
00:54:02Well, you deserve every bit of it.
00:54:06Uh, you know what? I should probably change for the family foster event.
00:54:10You know about this event?
00:54:12I know about it. I'm in it.
00:54:16Would you like to join?
00:54:18Yeah, well, it's not...
00:54:20The royal family doesn't usually attend.
00:54:22It's more for the people to enjoy.
00:54:24Not an event full of pomp and circumstance, shall we say.
00:54:27So put your glasses on.
00:54:42Gwen?
00:54:44Are you all right?
00:54:46Yes. Yes, I'm fine.
00:54:48This week's just been very stressful.
00:54:50Do you want to talk about it?
00:54:52Yes.
00:54:55Philip and I were born one month apart. Did you know that?
00:54:58That I came first, and...
00:55:00Well, it's perhaps the only month where I wasn't tied to him in the eyes of our parents.
00:55:06I've known the occasional Walt's choreography for the Cinderella Christmas Ball for years now.
00:55:13There's just always been this expectation that we would wed.
00:55:17This expectation that we would wed.
00:55:21Wait, you don't want to?
00:55:25You must think I'm mad.
00:55:27I mean, who wouldn't want to be queen?
00:55:30All of these other women would trade positions with me in a heartbeat.
00:55:34No, Elizabeth would.
00:55:37I do love Philip.
00:55:39Just as a dear friend.
00:55:42What are you going to do?
00:55:43Well, if Philip asks me to marry him, I of course will.
00:55:47Bells will ring, and we will waltz, and it will be done.
00:55:53It's my duty.
00:56:00Thank you so much for listening.
00:56:03You're very kind.
00:56:05Anytime.
00:56:07Ho, ho, ho! Merry Christmas!
00:56:11Thank you again for helping today.
00:56:14Giving gifts is always my favorite part of Christmas.
00:56:17Chip off the old block.
00:56:19Yeah.
00:56:37Hello.
00:56:40I'm Philip.
00:56:42And Santa is a really good friend of mine.
00:56:45And he's very, very nice.
00:56:50So will you come up and meet him with me?
00:56:52Great.
00:57:04Great.
00:57:18Show me.
00:57:22Soon, God willing.
00:57:24Klaus, maybe after the event you could tell Philip more about your foster journey?
00:57:28I'd love to.
00:57:30Fantastic. Excellent.
00:57:38There you go. Merry Christmas.
00:57:42I had to see for myself.
00:57:44Oh, it was a lovely event. I'm so glad that I came.
00:57:46And I learned quite a bit from Santa, of all people.
00:57:51Have you two been good this year?
00:57:53I have just a few candy canes left.
00:57:55Thank you, my dear.
00:57:57I've decided to increase funding and resources to the foster program.
00:58:00I think that should help a lot of these children get adopted more expeditiously.
00:58:04That would be wonderful.
00:58:08You know, today these kids, they felt like they belonged.
00:58:12Like they were part of a community.
00:58:14I'm told that they look forward to this event all year.
00:58:16Could you hold monthly events?
00:58:19I'm sure the foster families would be happy to help organize them.
00:58:23I don't see why not.
00:58:25Well, I'd be honored to fund the May event.
00:58:27In honor of my grandmother, who was born in May and always loved the blues of that season.
00:58:32I presume other guests might also be eager to contribute to such a worthy endeavor.
00:58:36Thank you so much. Thank you.
00:58:39Oh, duty calls.
00:58:41Right.
00:58:49Think you know great American Christmas movies?
00:58:52This season we're inviting you to guess the order from best to even best.
00:58:55The challenge, guess the order of movies ranked by fellow fans 2024 movie reviews.
00:59:02Get close enough and you might just win a prize.
00:59:17Warming up for a lesson?
00:59:19I had to. At least once.
00:59:21It's pretty fun.
00:59:23Oh, but I guess that wouldn't be very becoming of a prince.
00:59:27No, no, it would not.
00:59:29Yeah, too bad.
00:59:40Right?
00:59:42Here we come.
00:59:52Ahem.
00:59:57Oh, from the, yeah.
00:59:59Yes, absolutely.
01:00:07Well, keep your feet on the floor a little.
01:00:10It's no good, it's no good. I just, I can't get the pivots. They're on me.
01:00:14Let's just waltz.
01:00:16What do you mean?
01:00:18Well, you know the choreography. I want you to fall in love with the feeling of the waltz.
01:00:21Free, unrestricted, like, like sliding across the floor in socks.
01:00:24Ah, well, no, that was fun.
01:00:26Let me try something.
01:00:28Okay. Free.
01:00:34Just, whatever you want to do.
01:00:42Yeah.
01:00:44Oh.
01:00:49You're pivoting, you got it, yeah.
01:00:54Philip, my father is waiting for us.
01:00:57We were supposed to meet him for dinner.
01:00:59Yes, yes, I am sorry. I completely lost track of time.
01:01:03Better hurry.
01:01:05Until tomorrow.
01:01:08I'm so sorry.
01:01:13It's okay.
01:01:21This is all too much.
01:01:24Just have fun with it.
01:01:26How would I ever choose?
01:01:28Try them all.
01:01:30It's, uh, nice. I mean, you know, it's nice.
01:01:34You don't look comfortable.
01:01:36This is hopeless. I'm not going to put on a fancy dress and suddenly fit in.
01:01:41Oh, the goal is not to fit in. It's to stand out.
01:01:47Oh.
01:01:49Oh.
01:01:51Oh.
01:01:53Oh.
01:01:55Oh.
01:01:57Oh.
01:01:59Sorry to interrupt.
01:02:03You look splendid.
01:02:07Well, I brought you the book we talked about. I thought you might like to read it.
01:02:10I've bookmarked my favorite for you. The story features a necklace.
01:02:15The one your grandmother read to you as a child?
01:02:17Indeed.
01:02:21Well, I'll leave you to it.
01:02:23Oh, thanks.
01:02:25Yeah, just a few more. I've got my lesson with Philip.
01:02:27Oh, boy. Let's do it.
01:02:33Just the person I was looking for. I have something for you.
01:02:37What is it?
01:02:39I didn't mention it earlier because I didn't want to get your hopes up.
01:02:42But many of our performances are recorded for posterity.
01:02:46I had the director search the archives for your mother's.
01:02:51She found it.
01:02:57You're welcome.
01:03:17Hi.
01:03:28Who's that? Your mother?
01:03:30My mother.
01:03:37I need a minute.
01:03:39Of course.
01:03:41Sorry.
01:03:43No, of course. Take as long as you need.
01:03:54Oh, there you are.
01:03:57Are you okay?
01:04:00Seeing her like that brought back so many memories I thought I'd lost.
01:04:06She was a beautiful dancer.
01:04:12For as long as I can remember, that's been my connection to her.
01:04:18Even though she was gone, I could always find her there and dance.
01:04:23You're the most extraordinary woman I've ever met.
01:04:26Come on.
01:04:28And no matter what you think, you are a real dancer, Chelsea, and your mother would be very proud.
01:04:53Dance with me?
01:05:23I love you.
01:05:54It's late. I should probably go.
01:05:57See you tomorrow?
01:05:59Of course.
01:06:01Good night.
01:06:03Good night.
01:06:24Hi, I'm Danica Michele.
01:06:26And I'm Oliver Rice.
01:06:28We hope you're enjoying our new movie.
01:06:54Renvoke works differently.
01:06:56Renvoke is a once-daily pill that can rapidly relieve joint pain, stiffness, and...
01:07:12Pops.
01:07:16Pops.
01:07:19Klaus?
01:07:21That's Klaus?
01:07:23Oh my goodness.
01:07:30Oh, hi. Thank you. Thank you.
01:07:43Miss Jones. I've been looking for you.
01:07:46What is this?
01:07:48Your compensation.
01:07:50You said standard rate.
01:07:52Yes. For a royal instructor.
01:07:56Is this not sufficient?
01:07:58This will fund my dance program for years.
01:08:01You did a wonderful job, Miss Jones. You have our deepest gratitude.
01:08:07The ball begins in a few hours. Where are you going?
01:08:10To see someone I've waited my whole life for.
01:08:13Is this about the photograph you showed me?
01:08:15You do know something. I knew it. I knew it.
01:08:18It was many years ago.
01:08:20And I'm not one to repeat unsubstantiated rumors.
01:08:24Not protocol.
01:08:26Good luck, dear.
01:08:38Klaus?
01:08:40Chelsea.
01:08:42Are you busy?
01:08:43For you, I always have time.
01:08:47Um, I, uh, had a question.
01:08:55Does this woman look familiar?
01:09:00Jane.
01:09:02Yeah, Jane.
01:09:04Well, it's been many years, but yes.
01:09:07I'd know that smile anywhere.
01:09:10She was my mother.
01:09:12She was my mother.
01:09:14Well, your mother and the entire Holly Berry Ballet would stay here at the inn at Christmas.
01:09:21She took the picture with my father, who I never knew.
01:09:25Is that you?
01:09:28Oh, dear, no. We were friendly. Nothing more.
01:09:33Oh.
01:09:35What made you think it was me?
01:09:36Um, I saw you in an old video after one of her shows.
01:09:41You embraced.
01:09:43The nutcracker dance.
01:09:46It was her final performance.
01:09:49She told me she made a very difficult decision and would be leaving Havenshire that day.
01:09:54I was to drive her to the airport.
01:09:57Decision?
01:09:59Did she say what it was about?
01:10:01Just that it was the right thing to do.
01:10:03Do you know? I mean, did she say who my father is?
01:10:09I'm sorry.
01:10:11I didn't even know that she'd married.
01:10:14I'm so sorry. This is so silly of me. I'm sorry for bothering you.
01:10:19It would be an honour to have a daughter like you.
01:10:22It would be an honour to have a daughter like you.
01:10:36It's almost time to get ready for the ball.
01:10:38Let's go.
01:10:48If we were to redirect just a small percentage of the annual budget.
01:10:52From where? Something would have to be sacrificed.
01:10:55That's just it. We reinvest the new profits directing the surplus back to the budget.
01:11:00So, it is technically a loan, not a sacrifice.
01:11:05Wow.
01:11:07This is remarkable.
01:11:10You are remarkable.
01:11:15And I am going to leave this with you.
01:11:19Really? Wow.
01:11:25Chelsea. Chelsea, there you are.
01:11:28You're a difficult one to track down.
01:11:30I was hoping that we could talk. About last night.
01:11:33Last night was a mistake.
01:11:35Was it?
01:11:37This isn't my world. I don't belong here.
01:11:39It wasn't a mistake for me.
01:11:41You have a duty that's greater than both of us.
01:11:47For all of your kindness.
01:11:49I will never forget it.
01:11:52Now, what does that sound like a goodbye?
01:11:55You're going to make a wonderful king, Philip.
01:11:57And you belong on that throne.
01:12:00I've never been more sure of anything in my entire life.
01:12:04And you're going to do great tonight. Just don't rush those pivots.
01:12:09You live with such joy.
01:12:14For bringing a little bit of it into my life.
01:12:17Keep running those pivots, okay?
01:12:44Bye.
01:13:08Have you seen the news?
01:13:10No.
01:13:11Photographs of you signing autographs in the marketplace.
01:13:14No.
01:13:16On the contrary.
01:13:18They are saying you will be the people's king.
01:13:21Well done, my son.
01:13:26And your idea for sponsoring additional foster family events sparked some real interest.
01:13:32That was Chelsea's idea?
01:13:35Was it?
01:13:39Very happy for you, my son.
01:13:42This is a big night.
01:13:44You're ready.
01:13:46Yes.
01:14:45You're very well positioned tonight.
01:14:50I've waited several years for this.
01:14:52I have so many worthwhile enterprises that this partnership will facilitate.
01:14:58And...
01:15:00Philip is looking very handsome tonight, isn't he?
01:15:04Yes.
01:15:06He is.
01:15:08He is?
01:15:10Yes.
01:15:11Philip is looking very handsome tonight, isn't he?
01:15:15Yes, of course.
01:15:24Are you all right?
01:15:27Yes.
01:15:29Fine.
01:15:37He has yet to signal the bells.
01:15:39He will make his choice.
01:15:54Go ahead.
01:15:56Make the move.
01:15:58It's a little risky, sure, but...
01:16:01if you wish to succeed, you must brave the risk of failure.
01:16:06Why aren't you at the ball?
01:16:07Why aren't you at the ball?
01:16:09I could ask you the same.
01:16:12I don't belong there.
01:16:15Oh, thank you for lending me this.
01:16:19I love stories with happy endings.
01:16:22Do you love him?
01:16:26What?
01:16:28That's not even...
01:16:31It doesn't matter how I feel.
01:16:33And even if Philip...
01:16:34He should be with someone who's good for this country.
01:16:37Someone like Elizabeth.
01:16:39Elizabeth is smart.
01:16:41But kings have advisors.
01:16:43She seems much better suited for that role.
01:16:47I didn't come here to cause trouble.
01:16:50Why did you?
01:16:53To find family.
01:16:57I never knew my father, but...
01:17:00I think he took this picture here in Havenshire.
01:17:02But it's been over a week, and I'm no closer to finding him than I was when I got here.
01:17:08It's silly to think that after all this time...
01:17:11It's probably for the best, right?
01:17:14I mean, he would have reached out by now if he wanted to.
01:17:21Maybe he didn't know about you.
01:17:24Your necklace.
01:17:26So familiar.
01:17:28It's just like my grandmother's.
01:17:29Which I gave to the love of my life, all those years ago.
01:17:34I couldn't believe they were one and the same.
01:17:39She never told me.
01:17:42She never said.
01:17:45It's you?
01:17:53I met your mother.
01:17:55I met your mother when she was here in Havenshire, performing.
01:18:00She was the most beautiful woman I'd ever seen.
01:18:04She smiled at me from the stage, and I knew I was a goner.
01:18:09We were married on the steps of that museum, three days later.
01:18:13Three days?
01:18:15Yes.
01:18:16We were young.
01:18:18We didn't love.
01:18:20That painting in the museum, that's of your grandmother.
01:18:22My great-grandmother?
01:18:24You saw that, did you?
01:18:26I brought it to Havenshire. Donated it.
01:18:29I suppose it was my secret way of keeping that necklace at our special place forever.
01:18:36Why did things end?
01:18:39When I presented her to my parents, they did not approve.
01:18:45So I decided to follow my heart.
01:18:48So I decided to follow my heart.
01:18:51Renounce my title for her.
01:18:55When I told her, she was upset.
01:18:59She believed we were making a selfish choice.
01:19:02Said that she'd be returning to the States and that my place was here.
01:19:11Your mother did not want to cause problems for me.
01:19:17She did not feel like she belonged.
01:19:24Do not make the same mistake.
01:19:44You'd better be dressed, my dear.
01:19:45We belong where we decide we belong?
01:19:48We belong where God puts us.
01:20:16Dear Mr and Mrs Donner,
01:20:19we have expedited your application for adoption and are pleased to inform you...
01:20:25Anna!
01:20:27Boys!
01:20:31We've got our Christmas wish.
01:20:33We're a family.
01:20:39I want to make a difference for my country.
01:20:43There are many ways to achieve that.
01:20:46What of love?
01:20:52I'm sorry, Elizabeth.
01:20:55I can't.
01:21:16Your Majesty, I'd like to introduce my daughter.
01:21:23Well, fancy that.
01:21:37I was afraid you weren't coming.
01:21:40Have the bells rung?
01:21:42Not yet.
01:21:46You look beautiful.
01:21:51En garde.
01:21:56It's all yours.
01:22:07Oh, is this when we...
01:22:10Yes. Do you remember the stamps?
01:22:13Yes.
01:22:15Yes.
01:22:22I think my son has made his choice.
01:22:26Very good choice.
01:22:28Indeed.
01:22:45Oh, my!
01:23:15Oh, my!
01:23:56Thank you, Anna.
