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