Have a good Christmas, everyone.

I'll miss you.

Felicity.

Why have you got boxes?

I told you that today was going to be my last day here.

Your Last day? Well, you didn't make me a partner.

There's something we need to discuss.

Follow me.

Princess Juliet is getting married.

For a wedding?

That's a big get.

Except she's not marrying a royal

all Knighton royals have to marry other royals.

It's their one rule.

If they choose to marry a subject, then they give up th...

I'm sorry, I don't I don't follow.

Okay, look, with this wedding, her brother, Prince Vincent ..

Only he's being so private and secretive. Up till now, there's going to be a huge buzz.

That's great.

But I am leaving

You can't leave. Not now.

We got the job.

Okay, look.

You plan this royal wedding

and I'll make you a partner.

Are you serious?

Mhm, Think of it as a Christmas gift.

Deal.

No, I won't let you down, I really promise.

Oh, where are you going?

Oh, well, I'm taking Junie home to my parents for the holidays.

Mhm, It's a Knighton royal wedding.

Right? And?

All Knighton royals get married on Christmas Day.

So we're not going to Grandma and Grandpa's for Christmas?

No. You'll come with me to Knighton

Knighton?

Where is that?

It's a very, very small principality.

What's a principality?

Think of it like a...

a uh little mini country run by Prince.

Yeah, but what about Christmas?

We'll still have Christmas. Nooo

Just hear me out, okay?

Look, if I do this royal wedding and it all goes well,

then I'll finally become a partner.

This is a big deal for us, Junie.

So, look, we're going to have to leave pretty soon on a flight...

But I still got to take a few more shots for class.

My teacher wants candids from around the city.

Okay, fine.

Ten minutes.

And I'm going to sit here and do some research... on Knighton

Okay let's see here.

Prince, who never shows himself to the press.

It's just weird.

But, Your Highness, we must fly to Knighton.

Can't we just fly to Knighton tomorrow?

Let's go ice skating in Central Park or see the tree at rockefeller Center,

one normal American holiday night before I lose any form of privacy.

But sir, we really do have little time until Christmas and the.

Wedding, right?

Because all anyone wants to talk about on Christmas is Juliet's wedding.

When's the wedding?

When's Juliet getting married?

Now that wedding's happening and everyone wants to talk about me.

And I'm not even the one getting married.

Sir, I know you were hoping for a dalliance with normalcy,

but you are about to become the sovereign prince of Knighton.

I'm at least getting a hot dog.

No, sir, sir, sir, where are you going?

Here you go, buddy... Enjoy.

Please stay where I can see you.

Five more Minutes.

Hello?

Hey, buddy. What can I get you?

Uhh one, please.

Okay what do you want on it?

What do people normally have?

uhhh ketchup? Mustard?

Great, Yep. All that.

Ketchup and mustard.

Hey hah ahaha, Here you go, buddy.

Thank you.

Magnificent.

Just beautiful.

Uh oh.

I'm going to politely ask you to delete that.

I, um. I was just.

Are you with an outlet. How old are you?

It's just a picture.

I'd really appreciate it if you could delete that..

Heyuh

I'm not even supposed to be here.

What eating a hot dog?

Back away from my daughter.

Your daughter?

Yeah.

Is there a reason you're picking on a 1..

She started it.

You can't fool me. I know she's working for someone.

Working for someone?

Look, I'm really sorry, but I can't risk that picture ..

For your information, she's taking pictures for a school photography class.

I don't know who you think you are,

but you've got a lot of nerve screaming at a kid who's just trying to do her homework.

Photography class.

I uh, I think it's best if we depart now, sir.

I think that's a good idea.

What a weirdo.

Felicity Preston?

Yes. That's me.

Marguirette, I'm princess Ranaeda's council.

Oh, and who's this?

This is my daughter, Junie. She's a last minute addition.

Charmed.

Nice to meet you.

Shall we?

The last five planners were either fired or quit because they weren't up to the job.

Oh, wow.

May I ask why?

You'll come to understand that there were some opposing wants in terms of this wedding.

The sovereign Prince and Princess would prefer to stick with tradition.

Lady Juliet lies somewhere in the middle, and George is...

What is that...

Cannon.

That's the one.

Oh, and then there's Prince Vincent.

This wedding will put him squarely in the public eye.

Yeah, I notice he's managed to keep pretty hidden until now.

Well, as the second child.

He has managed to stay away from the limelight..

A focus on dinner and diplomats allows one

to stay behind the scenes, so to speak.

But once this wedding happens and Princess Juliet officially steps down...

that obviously won't be possible anymore.

Right.

And um, Princess Juliet.

What does she want?

I ..

What Princess Juliet wants is simply to make it down the aisle.

uh what do you mean?

Juliet and the royal family are concerned that with all th..

this wedding is inevitably going to garner, something could go wrong.

Oh, well.

Dont worry, I'm used to dealing with disasters.

It happens all the time in my line of work.

Tell that to the last five planners.

Miss Preston, might I make myself plain?

Sure.

This wedding is changing the entire face of Kni..

It isn't just flowers and invitations.

This is the entire fate of the whole principality.

Princess Juliet has made her choice.

Your job is damage control

In the form of the best wedding you've ever planned.

No pressure.

Cooool

Follow me.

Quick quick quick

I'll show your mother to her meeting,

and then I'll return for you we have lots of candy in the kitchen.

No. The dinner was mostly uneventful.

He sends his regards.

And did the ambassador mention anything about a relief package?

Yes. He's on board with our proposal.

Anything else to report?

umm uh No, sir.

It was a very successful trip.

Then we should discuss the bigger matter of the wedding and your succession.

Yes. Of course.

Because my succession is what really matters.

Forget the aid package to help refugees or the new hospital wing.

Let's all talk about pomp and ceremony.

Well, with or without your sarcasm, the wedding is happening in ten days.

Now If I'm to hand over the reins then you...

I don't want you to hand over the reins to me.

Juliet was born to rule.

Why can't we carry on as we always have?

Well, Juliet knows the tradition.

If she doesn't marry another royal, then the responsibility of ruling passes

to the next in line.

I know the history.

And why do you seem so keen to forget it?

Vincent, you're back.

Juliet, it's good to see you.

The new wedding planner arrives any moment. She's American.

Is she?

Didn't you read the brief I sent you?

Sorry, I didn't have the time.

Let's just hope this one lasts.

Oh, thank you.

Miss Preston.

Thank you so much for coming.

Oh, please call me Felicity.

I totally messed that up, didn't I?

That was a lovely greeting you did it perfectly.

but it hasn't been used since the 1800s.

Right?

Well, you know, I researched and..

don't trust the internet right?

It's no concern of mine

Whether or not you know the proper royal gr..

What's important to me are your planning skills.

I was so charmed by the feature of your work in modern bridal magazine.

The way you so seamlessly blended classic style with modern touches.

I called Wilhemina and insisted on you.

Oh, you did.

That's very kind. Thank you.

I think you might be the one wedding planner on the planet who can pull this.

So what's first?

Well, generally, I like to meet the couple together.

Get an idea of your your shared tastes and build a vision from there.

Sounds delightful.

Oh, this is my brother, Prince Vincent.

Vince, I'd like you to meet Felicity, the new wedding planner.

You're the prince.

You're the planner.

Sorry. Do you two know each other?

No.

Definitely not.

Why do I sense there's a story here.

Oh well, there is a story all right

Would you like to tell it?

Well, we.

We were in the park.

We ran into each other in the park. I was gett..

A hot dog!

It's not important, uh Juliet, can I speak with y..

Now

Yes, yes.

Ahem, You have to find someone else.

Absolutely not.

We're out of time.

And Fe..

I've already politely attempted this big royal wedding with mother's planners,

and no one has been able to pull it off.

You're the one who convinced them to let me marry George in the first place.

There has to be someone else.

There isn't. She's staying. That's that.

Okay.

If you insist.

Well.

Since you two are already acquainted.

Shall we?

That would be... wonderful.

As I'm sure you've learned from your research.

Christmas is extremely important for Knighton.

All Knighton royals marry on Christmas day.

I was reading that.

Except I kept finding conflicting accounts as to how the tradition started.

And given how the internet failed me on the greetings.

Perhaps I should just go straight to the source.

Began in the 16th century, with Prince Frederick and Cassandra.

And they married on Christmas Day?

Oh, they did more than just marry, all our traditions are because of them.

Cassandra was not a royal,

Prince Frederick was actually quite ahead of his time marrying a woman that was not titled.

He went to great lengths to woo her and win her affection.

He offered her gifts.

He even secretly entered a tournament dueling with the gre..

Prince Frederick was so madly in love with Cassandra

that he said he would give up his title, if that's what it took to be with her.

Frederick ultimately stepped down from his royal duties,

but not before everyone had fallen for their love story.

And we still recreate the traditions.

So when I met George, I knew what it meant.

None of the royal

su..

Oh, I see.

So I'm not just overseeing the wedding.

Correct.

You'll..

where Vincent formally accepts his new role.

We like to call that the opening bell.

And then there's the royal proclamation and the fencing tournament.

And, of course, the wedding.

Great.

Lots to do.

would you show Felicity to her room?

I have a meeting with the Philanthropic Society.

My room? at the hotel?

Oh, no, don't be silly.

You'll stay here

at the palace.

Really?

the palace.

We have enough press sniffing around.

And since Vincent

isn't planning on officially debuting as t..

until the opening bell

ceremony, it's best that you stay here ..

We have more than enough room, I assure you.

I'll see you both tonight at dinner?

Shall we?

So you're a prince who skulks

around in parks fighting children?

I went to the park to get a hot dog because I'd never had one.

Clearly.

And your daughter took a picture of me.

I'm very private, and I'm about to be taken public.

So I may have overreacted.

Look, I just wanted to spend my last few moments

where I didn't have to think about royal protocol or expectation.

The rest of my life is about to be press fodder.

I can understand that.

I'm sorry.

I didn't intend to upset you or your...

Mom You've got to check out our room!

Daughter.

uh Junie.

Listen..

This is Vincent. He's the prince

He's what now?

Prince Vincent is the heir of Knighton.

After his. Sister's wedding.

Seriously? Him?

yes and I apologize for my behavior at the park.

I thought you were paparazzi trying to get a photo of me before the wedding.

And we will make sure that that photo doesn't get out.

Right, Junie?

Of course, Your Highness.

Vincent is just fine.

Well, if Junie knows the way

to your room, I'll leave you to it.

Okay.

Let's go.

Okay, so you're gonna have to be good and not be in the way around the palace, okay?

Are we gonna have any time for Christmas while we're here?

Look

I didn't even get to decorate a tree at home.

You know what?

We'll just decorate this tree right here.

It's already decorated.

But not the way we want it to be.

And I brought. This.

My favorite one.

Yeah.

Now that's our tree.

Are we gonna have any time together?

Of course.

You know, every free second I have, I'm going to spend it with you.

And the rest of the time, you have to hang out with Princess Juliet

and her brother.

Don't remind me, please?

He seems nice.

Really?

You know, he just seemed stressed out to me.

You know, usually it's

people actually getting married that y..

Is that what happened with dad?

Kind of

come sit down

umm So your dad

an..

It was planning our belated wedding reception

that made him freak out.

How?

You know, weddings

put a lot into perspective.

And for your dad and I, we just.

We realized that we were better off apart.

You know, we were just...

Just too young.

You mean he realized?

He was right.

And I like it being just the two of us. Huh? Don't you?

you don't want a big wedding one day?

Junie, where are all these questions coming from?

I don't know, I've never seen you in love.

Don't you think that's kind of weird?

Well, I love you, crazy kid.

Now, please go and have a shower, okay.

Look, you smell like an airplane.

Go on, shoo shoo

Thank you.

So, Felicity.

Yes. Your highness.

Have you ever planned a wedding of this caliber?

Well, I've been at my current firm for five years,

but I planned my fair share of events.

before that, I was a general event planner.

Bar mitzvahs, corporate events,

anything really.

But I realized pretty quickly

that weddings were my passion.

And that's when I went to work for Wilhelmina.

And do you believe children's birthday parties

and corporate luncheons have adequately prepared you for this?

I know weddings

they are my calling.

And why are you so drawn to weddings? Miss Preston

because how a couple starts their journey together matters.

I love playing a small part in creating a

a vision that only becomes more beautiful over time.

Do you have anyone special? Felicity.

I did...

but that didn't work out.

I'm sorry to hear that.

That's okay.

Turns out I'm better at other people's

love lives than my own.

It's okay.

But you know enough about me.

What about you and George?

How did you two meet?

Come to think of it, I'm not actually sure where George and I met.

I went to school with George.

I just feel like I've known George my whole life.

Well, then there's a lot of shared history

we can draw from to personalize your wedding.

So long as the personalization doesn't

conflict with tradition.

Of course.

There isn't a dungeon I should be aware of right?

Yes. In the West Wing.

Legend has it that the tournament is

where Prince Frederick really won Cassandra's heart during a..

So the tournament has to be a critical component of the wedding.

Sword fighting?

isn't that dangerous?

Dont people like die?

We've long since switched over to fencing.

Don't worry. It's perfectly safe.

So after Prince Frederick defeated Sir Laurence,

he approached Cassandra and she offered him her scarf.

She held it out and said, good sir.

For your bravery, a token.

Then he took his helmet off.

And it was Frederick the Prince.

Cassandra swooned, and it was at that moment

the entire principality knew they were going to be married.

That's really romantic.

Isn't it? Such a small gesture.

The simple handing over of a scarf, carrying so much meaning.

We have quite the superstition about it.

But, George,

he's not going to be fencing, is he?

Uh, no, Vincent said

Excuse me one moment.

Oh. Oh,

don't mind if I do.

You gotta be kidding me.

Where's Juliette?

She had to take a call.

Hand me that scarf.

Me?

Yes. I'm here to rehearse.

What am I supposed to do with it?

Just hand it to me.

Am I allowed to touch that?

It's a scarf.

Won't bite.

I accept your decision

and my fate.

Huh?

That's my line.

I say it after Juliet hands me the scarf.

And after she says.

Good sir, for your bravery, a token.

Exactly.

Not really historically accurate,

but it's become part of the pageantry.

That was perfect.

Fingers crossed it goes like that on the day.

I do think if we could arrange to have the sleeves altered,

it might make the dress more modern.

I'll arrange that with the designer.

Juliette

George

decided to partake in the tournament after a..

Well, I did lead the national fencing team for seven years

and beat you for captain at Saint Michael's.

Barely.

Oh, George, this is Felicity Preston, our wedding planner.

Pleasure to make your acquaintance.

Likewise.

Traditionally, the groom has to take ..

But George wasn't into the sword fighting tradition.

But I convinced him.

Well, at least I'll have a worthy opponent

brush up on those skills Vincent.

Wouldn't want to break tradition to have ..

Oh, don't worry, we'll honor tradition.

Lovely to meet you, Felicity.

I have my

own list of tasks from my delight..

that I must attend to.

Don't we have arrangements to look at?

Yes. Shall we?

We have some arrangements.

Ah such a beautiful plate

I remember that one

that one as well. Ohh.

What do you think?

It's the same arrangement your father and I had.

Yes, It's a classic.

It certainly is a strong option.

But, What if.

It'll be the end of the monarchy.

Emerald and gold are Juleritian banner colours

Our nations haven't gotten along since plague times.

though it is pretty

Crimson and gold.

It is th..

May I just

go ahead

Yes. It's perfect.

Well, I suppose if you like it Juliet, then...

then it will do.

Okay, so we'll take that one then.

Mmm. Delicious.

Okay, what is the deal?

You guys look like kids being forced to eat your broccoli.

It's fruitcake.

And shouldn't this be George's job?

You know. You have to be here. It's tradition that the famil...

And I can't have too many opinions.

No, it's not the most scrumptious.

But this is what Knighton wedding cakes are made of.

Is it really that bad?

See for yourself.

Okay, I see what you mean.

can't we just ask him to make you something that you two actually like?

Not possible. This is the cake that's expected.

Does everything have to be about tradition?

Okay, tell you what.

It's a tiered wedding cake, right?

Seven, to be precise.

Okay, so six tiers can be

whatever that is.

And the top tier can be something that Princess Juliet actually wants.

Because this is going to be a photographed moment okay?

Nice cake.

Means nice smiles. Means great photos.

So, what are we thinking?

Red velvet or chocolate?

maybe we can do something festive.

Peppermint. Gingerbread.

Oh, George loves gingerbread.

He used to steal it from the kitchen at school.

Sir, could we have a gingerbread flavored cake?

Maybe with some icing sugar and a sprig of holly on top.

Felicity, you are a genius.

Which one do you prefer, sir?

No, no, you don't actually use those to summon

Your staff. Right.

These are for the royal gift giving ceremony.

The opening bell.

Right.

Why? Bell exactly?

In the legend,

Frederick took a bell from his own slei..

And he gave it to her to remember him.

Which one do you like better?

Wait wait wait wait wait.

I thought this is supposed to be a gift giv..

So?

she can't see the gift before she receives it?

Shouldn't it be a surprise?

After nearly 400 years, hardly any of this is a surprise an..

That one.

The ribbon has the traditional colors.

Which one do you actually prefer?

The one with the traditional colors.

Very good.

Okay.

Hi, Peter. Have you seen my mom?

She's in the study.

Miss Junie.

Ooh, cake.

Can I have a slice?

Oh, Princess Juliette, this is my daughter, Jun..

Oh, what a lovely surprise.

should I do that courtesy thing you were practicing earlier.

Oh, no need for that.

Please come and join us, Junie.

thanks

Okay.

I really could have used a crash course on royal etiquette.

Because I'm pretty sure that Princess Ranaeda wants to banish me.

We need to avoid any faux pas.

Exactly.

When were you going to tell me that Prin..

Did she?

Oh, I don't remember.

Wilhelmina, if I'm going to be a partner, then.

No more games.

I would never.

I'm serious.

You can't just twist me into doing your bi..

I'm not.

I just needed to make sure you didn't leave th..

And can you blame me?

You're my best planner.

Don't hang up.

sorry.

I was looking for a late night snack.

We had the same idea.

Do you want a slice?

Yes, please.

Thank you.

Great idea, by the way.

This cake is much better than a fruit cake.

Honestly, fruitcake is the worst.

Do Americans eat fruitcake at Christmas?

or is it just Knighton's that are stcuk wih it?

some do.

My family, though, we like to use it as a football.

What?

Yeah.

Fr..

so my great aunt, she sends us one for Christmas every year.

But my dad absolutely hates the stuff.

So when I was little, he used to let us use Aunt Gigi's fruitcake as a football

Oh, that's a it's a fun family tradition.

It is yeah

I miss them.

Junie and I, we were

supposed to go and visit this year.

I imagine it's difficult being so far away during the holiday.

yeah it is

You know, my family is nuts about Christmas.

So I'm pretty disappointed that we're not there.

I'm sorry.

I just wish that

my family's traditions were as unpredictable as yours.

So, It's a bit silly, right?

The bells.

Yeah. That's royalty for you.

An endless loop of sameness that goes on and on

until the people get fed up enough to overthrow you.

Big day tomorrow

Yes. My official release to the hounds.

You really don't like being in the spotlight, do you?

Well,

I've always known that at some point, if Juliette and George

stayed together, that my life would cease to be my own.

That I'd have to step up.

That's what Christmas has always been to me.

A reminder that someday my number is going to be called.

My fate is to rule.

As soon as she marries.

I belong to Knighton

So I just wanted to try to live a normal life for as long as I could,

before I have to live under the microscope permanently.

I see.

Thing is,

Juliette and I have never spoken about it.

I know that she doesn't want to step down,

but she can't bear the thought of losing George.

I'm sorry.

no, ..

I just have so little time left to be normal.

Or, my version of it.

Can you say no?

Just change the tradition.

Marrying a non-royal and therefore choosing to step aside.

It's... it's been a rule for centuries.

Just seems to me that you and

Princess Juliet are happy with the way things are.

Wouldn't your parents at least listen.

You don't know my parents.

Well, it's late.

I should get some rest.

Good night.

Night.

Gift.

Symbol

love.

Just a simple sentence.

I offer this gift.

there you are.

How are you holding up?

great.

If it wasn't a thousand degrees in this thing.

Oh, not to worry.

May I?

Thank you.

You're going to be great.

So you just go out there, say some things.

Give her the bell.

That's it.

Right.

You know, the one thing about tradition is

everybody knows what's going to happen.

True.

Are you ready?

Ready as I'll ever be.

I offer this gift.

A symbol of my love for this country.

And for your love

for your chosen husband. And.

My acceptance

to rule in your place.

Why? Whatever could it be?

A bell

The opening bell has rung.

That's the wrong bell.

No it absolutely was the right one.

To a successful launch.

Hear hear!

Hear hear

The list of publications who have reached out

for exclusive interviews is unbelievably long.

So I think we should be strategic in which outlet we offer it to.

Oh, how about for now?

We just try to enjoy dinner?

Well, Juliet is right.

We have to think about who we want to give th..

Well, since there's still a lot to plan,

perhaps we can start with the proclamation.

Talk through your dress.

Princess, there's an urgent.

Message for you.

Pardon me a moment.

Everything all right?

I'm not sure.

Leaving?

For how. Long?

Maybe a few days.

A few days. The wedding is in five days.

The proclamation in two.

The tournament's in four.

We're running out of time.

I know, but I should be with George's mother.

You two can handle the planning while I'm gone.

And we'll be back in time for the proclamation and the tournament.

Okay, but I'll call you and make sure you approve of everything.

Not necessary.

I trust you and Vincent.

I'm sure whatever you both come up with would be lovely.

Give George's mother my love.

I will. Thank you.

I really can't understand why anyone enjoys being famous.

Try not to think about it.

But I positioned the ceremony so you'll be out of

paparazzi view.

Perfect.

It's a bit much isn't it

In here.

We'll stage the wedding ceremony

just with close family.

We can make the space look more intimate and romantic.

How about some candles along here?

Yep. that's a good idea.

Yeah, I could organize that.

Is there anything else that we need to do or.

I trust whatever decisions you make.

In that case. No.

Can we play a game or something?

I'm sorry.

She's a little bit pent up

since I've been working.

Junie, I think playing a game sounds..

Really?

you ever heard of cricket?

What, like the bug?

watch this

Oh, dear.

alright.

I see what you're doing. Show me your swing.

right, you're closing your eyes.

No matter what. Keep your eye on the ball

You're up.

Are you ready?

Ready.

All right.

Oh, that was so cool.

Oh! Whoa!

All right. Felicity.

I could have you beheaded for that.

Oh, home run!

Actually, we we call it a six.

Right, My turn.

Sorry, Peter.

I believe that's out, sir.

I want another try.

en guard! arm yourself!

Very well.

And now.

Oh, no.

I am slain!

Oh, yeah.

That was fun.

It was fun.

You know,

I don't think a Knighton royal has had such a poor battle showing since Prince

Alfred nearly lost the northern region of the principality in 1350.

okay, ready?

So you do this

Thanks for doing that. Junie needed it,

two, three, four

Well, I guess I needed it too.

I just have been so distracted by my work. I.

Yeah. That way

got it?

I just don't t..

I know what you mean.

Sometimes duty can overshadow your own needs.

Can I ask you something?

Go ahead.

Just you and Princess Juliette.

You seem to have very different approaches.

Yes. Juliette

is much more comfortable with the spotlight.

I know you think this press

attention is a bad thing.

But what if it was a chance to show the world the work you do?

The charities, the diplomatic efforts.

Could be good to put that out there.

Maybe.

But I think being a second in line royal means that

I can focus on helping people and not on being a celebrity.

So much press.

You have to tailor everything to fit a narrative.

If I'm going to rule, I don't want to have to be looking over

my shoulder the entire time.

Can I ask you something?

Sure.

You said at dinner the other night

that you were engaged before? was that Junie's father?

What happened?

Actually, we were married.

He was my college sweetheart.

I finally convinced him

to let us celebrate our belated wedding reception.

I had everything planned.

a dress that looked like snowfall.

The lights, the venue, the meals.

Sounds like you had everything figured out.

Yeah.

he was no longer in it with me.

He called it off a week before.

Sorry.

It's okay.

He moved away and

well I got Junie

That way.

Yeah

okay?

I guess ..

but we legally separated after

She's a good kid.

she is, yeah

Full of moxie.

Yes. Moxie.

overflowing with it.

I think perhaps we'd better move inside. The weather does app...

be on the turn. And by the way, the quartet have arrived.

Peter, do you think you could take

Junie inside? She's probably

freezing.

But of course.

Thank you Peter

Hey everybody! Thanks for coming.

so I was thinking

the first dance should be something romantic,

but also something meaningful to Juliette and George. So,

Any suggestions?

Honestly, no.

Okay.

Well, when was the last time that you went to a dan..

Juliette and I danced at a gala earlier this year.

And what did you dance to?

I can't remember something.

Bach.

Perhaps.

Okay.

Christmas music.

Do you have any favorites?

I really like the Holly and the Ivy.

Holly and the Ivy.

do you mind?

Okay, so

th..

Now, let's just hope that they're not the stand and sway type.

What's the stand and sway?

Well, it's when you

stand and sway, you know, but you don't really actually move around.

I mean, this is a dance.

It should should take up space.

Well, I never stand sway.

Really?

Well, you strike me

as the quintessential stand and sway ..

Not me.

Really?

Every self-respecting royal knows a proper waltz.

Really?

Okay.

I might be a little rusty.

That's all right.

ready?

Very good.

follow my lead

see how much space we're taking up.

We're standing and swaying.

Well, sometimes

the stand and sway is exactly what's called for.

Um, Uh. Sorry.

Hi, Juliette.

how's. How's everything going?

Busy.

Turns out what George's mother really want..

Listen, I need a favor.

Yeah, sure. What's up?

The designer can't make it all the way here.

But the fitting for my procession dress must be done today.

So I was hoping you could take my place at the fitting.

Me?

Yes. We're the same size. Similar ..

If the dress fits you, it will fit me.

But I.

Please.

I'm up to my ears. Here.

You've been doing such a great job.

I trust you.

Okay. Sure, sure.

Yeah, I can.

..

Thank you.

Yo..

I'll be back as soon as I can.

Good afternoon.

Mother.

What's got into you?

The Christmas spirit.

Lady Juliete was

hoping that we could alter the sleeves.

Yeah.

Stunning.

Oh, it's you.

Did Princess Juliette not return?

Not yet.

She asked me to fill in for her.

Wow, you look lovely.

In another life, you'd make a fetching royal.

Thank you.

Well, since you have on the dres..

Oh, no.

No, I insist.

You know, perhaps I've been harsh

in my reception of you.

It's okay.

I understand weddings can be overwhelming.

And I know how important tradition is to you and your family.

It's odd... the other planners couldn't

get Vincent to pay attention for more than ten minutes at a time.

Ever since he was a child, it's like he was allergic to anything wedding related.

Now, I have noticed that

his father and I may have reminded him a bit too often of his duties.

Should his sister choose to marry George.

It's hard for him, given that George was his best friend.

He wanted to support them, but he knew what it meant for his own life.

I get that

as a parent can be hard to strike a balance.

But he seems lighter somehow,

like he's finally enjoying himself.

Well, I hope so.

It seems you are enjoying yourself too.

I. I'm just doing my job.

Your Highness.

Well,

I know that your

fondness for my son

extends beyond your professional duties.

He's just a friend.

Nothing more.

Remember that your friendship with my son.

It has implications for Knighton.

Understood

Good.

Have you got any fives?

Go fish

Okay.

Have you got a jack?

Oh, yeah.

Have you got any sixes?

No. Mom, you're not in the game.

Oh, I see.

Have you got a three?

go fish

Have you got a ten

go fish

Junie Preston.

mom, you're not even in the game.

Knew it!

I think I'm going to have to be in..

No!

..

I'm not a cheater

I agree, I think I'm gona have to referee a cheater

I must warn you, young lady, the penalt..

I'm not a cheater!

Are quite...

Your Highness,

I think we may have a problem, sir.

What's going on?

Oh, no.

What is this?

It seems the press got hold of Junie's camera.

What how?

It was left lying on the ground. Anyone on want of a quick n...

Would have lapped it up

Actually, people seem to like this new image.

Really?

Yeah look, so refreshing to see a royal acting ..

And Prince Vincent is so down to earth.

Ladies, can you give Vincent and I a moment alone?

You know, there's a way that you'd be able to spin this...

Uh, Felicity

Yes, father.

I know this isn't what you wanted,

but the wedding is going ahead, and we have to stick to tradition.

I know

your sister has made her choice we can respect that.

But if you choose to love a non-royal, too.

There are no more airs.

I understand.

But be careful of this man of the people ..

You're the future prince.

Remember that.

Yes father.

So we have the choice of two seating arrangements.

What do you think?

I like the first arrangement better.

This one. Yeah.

Well, let's take a break.

Ya know since guests are going to be out in the garden till late.

I've been thinking of doing some festive lights.

That sounds good.

I know it's not traditional, but

I do think it'll add something.

I agree.

I found a local artist who, makes snowflake lights.

And because they're snowflakes.

Each one is unique.

I think you might have started a new tradition.

Careful.

Thank you.

Felicity.

There's something I should say.

There's no need.

Should we go inside?

It's kind of cold.

Yes, please.

Oh, feeling warm enough?

Ready? Go!

like this, then like this

Junie

I have something for you.

What is it?

An early Christmas present.

A new camera.

Awesome.

To replace the one that got stolen.

Thank you. Vincent.

That's really kind. Thank you.

It's the least I could do.

Guys get together by the tree.

Okay.

Closer together.

Just,

Let me.

Okay.

And smile.

Perfect.

How do we look?

Amazing.

Oh. Oh.

One where I don't look absolutely ghastly.

Let's go wiith this one

Oh, no. Go back.

No! This one.

This one's good.

Don't zoom in that far.

You're blinking in that one.

Oh, no!

That's the perfect one.

That's perfect.

Yeah.

Vincent,

come in here, please.

Yes father

You think I don't understand your restlessness?

But I do.

What do you mean?

I was young once.

I'm not rebelling.

Just listen.

When I was in school, there was a girl who

I was sure would be the love of my life.

But she wasn't suitable.

Oh, I fought with your grandfather over it,

and he would never approve.

I'm glad he didn't.

Because if he

And your mother is the best thing that ever happened to me.

Where is all this coming from?

I need you to step up.

For better or worse.

Knighton law is clear.

I know.

Then be careful. Vincent,

you're toeing a dangerous line.

I don't know what you're talking about.

Oh. You don't. You and this American

Father, please.

No, no, no. I may be old, but I'm not blind.

We're just planning the wedding.

Then just plan the wedding.

Moment of truth.

What's it taste like?

Good.

Delicious.

You know, Vincent's actually kind of cool.

Yeah, he is.

Pretty cool.

Mom, do you like him?

Like him?

Why are you asking me that?

I don't know.

..

What are you talking about?

You just seem really happy, is all.

Look, I am here to work.

I know, but what if you did like him?

Well, there's nothing going on because he's a client.

And any romance would be a conflict of interest. Not.

Not to mention the Knighton tradition, the rules.

And I'm not a royal.

It's okay, mom.

It's okay.

Okay.

I like your silverware here

Yes. It's very nice isn't it.

Juliette. You're back early

We need to.

Talk.

Well,

we were just taking a break.

Nothing happened.

It's just the press doing what they do best.

Lying.

Yeah.

This makes it look worse than ..

Oh, I feel foolish.

Don't. We're glad you're back.

Come on.

Let's let's go get you ready f..

right? Yes.

The proclamation.

I'm sorry

I accused you of anything untowa..

It's okay.

That picture was.

It's not appropriate.

This isn't about you.

It's about me.

What do you mean?

I've been thinking a lot about everything.

Do you remember when you said that a wedding becomes a memory

that gets better over time?

yeah

I can't help but feel like my memo..

Why do you feel that?

I care very deeply for George.

But I hate that I'm doing this to Vincent.

I should be feeling butterflies.

Excitement.

But you're not feeling any of that?

No. Come to think of it, the only time

I ever really felt butterflies was when I was a t..

And George accompanied me at my first ball.

There was no pressure then.

No consequences for our choices.

But you seemed so good at dealing with pressure.

I still get that feeling in my stomach when I see him.

Of course.

Like I'm 15 all over again.

Oh, I just feel like such an awful person.

No, you are not an awful person.

Trust me.

This happens all the time.

I think when you're about to get married, it's only natural

to reflect and then even overthink things.

Really?

Really.

Sometimes I just wonder if this is the right thing to do.

Vincent has lived his whole life having to do things dictated by my choices.

If I go through with this wedding, I put him in a position

he never wanted to be in

and ultimately unable to follow his own heart.

My happiness should not be at the cost of his.

Oh, I understand that.

When Junie's father left, I.

I felt so guilty.

I just.

I kept thinking that I should have done more

to save her from the pain.

That's not your fault.

And falling in love isn't your fault.

Only you can decide what you want.

But Vincent is.

He's kind

and humble,

and he wants what's best for his people.

And that's really honorable.

You're right.

Let's do this. Proclamation.

Okay.

You. I knew it was a mistake to hire you.

Mother. It's a simple misunderstanding.

Misunderstanding or not, this has seriously jeopardized ..

I will not tolerate it.

Now, Ranaeda, do we know the press are known for ..

Juliette, we gave your planner a chance.

I think we should consider replacing her.

What? No, please. I'll lose my job.

What's going on in here?

I was just explaining to our parents about ..

Perhaps it would be best if Felicity returned to America.

Absolutely not.

Felicity's worked hard on this wedding,

and I won't compromise an innocent woman's career over tabloid smut.

Please, mother.

She hasn't done anything wrong.

In fact, Felicity has gone above and beyond

to be helpful to me while I've been dealing with my own doubts.

Fine.

But we can't have anything like this.

Understand?

It won't happen again.

In fact, I'll stay back from the proclamation today

so the press aren't distracted by my presence.

I can do everything by radio.

Good.

I apologize.

My mother can be quite fierce in her protectiveness.

It's okay.

Well,

I'll leave you two to prepare for the proclamation.

Careful.

Thank you.

One day, you're going to have a beautiful day of your own.

Felicity.

Right.

Someday.

Wilhelmina. Hi.

What's the one rule I have for my employees?

Don't wear open toed shoes without a pedicure.

The other. Rule.

Look. Nothing happened, okay?

It was just some photographer trying to make nothing lo..

Well, this doesn't look like nothing.

This looks like the front cover of a romance novel.

There's nothing going on.

Should I come out there?

No. Absolutely not. Trust me, these royals are just clients.

They're just clients.

I understand it's a lot of pressure,

but I'm doubting whether or not you could handle being a partner.

I have it under control.

Juliette

She trusts me.

But I have to go.

This is the craziest Christmas ever.

Oh, totally beats fruit cake football.

The challenger today, Duke George Tommerlin the fourth

Beautful lady

I dedicate today to you.

Is that part of the script.

I don't think so.

Ladies and gentlemen, Prince Vincent van Decat..

The fourth of Knighton.

Is it starting?

I think so.

Final point

Ladies and gentlemen, your winner.

Prince Vincent van Decathe of Knighton

Congratulations, Your Majesty.

What happens now?

This is the best part.

Scarf exchange.

The what?

You'll see

Good sir for your bravery.

A token.

I hand the duty to my country to you.

Thank you.

Is that supposed to happen?

Thank you, beautiful lady.

That was not good.

This is crazy.

They're calling it Scarfgate

Poor Vincent and Juliet it's just.

one tiny mistake.

According to this meme, the dropping of the scarf is

a signal of the fall of the monarchy and the coming apocalypse.

They're saying the wedding is cursed.

now. Knighton's are so dramatic.

Is it just me, or did it seem like

Princess Juliette was rooting for things to go wrong?

I. I think she's just conflicted.

But I have to be honest.

Scarf did feel like a bit of a sign.

are you going to be okay

tomorrow with Vincent taking up his duti..

Why wouldn't I be?

I know you say you like it.

Just the two of us, but it would be okay if..

I know,

but I can't have Vincent.

You deserve someone who treats

you like a princess.

When did you get so wise,

But it's not up to me, honey.

But it can be.

It's Christmas Eve.

Time for bed

Love you.

Night.

What are you doing out here?

You scared me.

Wandering the grounds at night is my thing.

Nice win today.

I dropped the scarf.

Doesn't matter.

You don't think it's a sign?

Sign of what?

I don't know.

Maybe it's time to break with tradition.

How?

I don't know. Oh, I've got an impossible choice.

If I don't accept my new role, then we lose the monarchy.

But if I do, then my heart is.

I think growing up,

hearing about what Christmas

would become for me.

The wedding

I was associated with, I could change everyth..

I hoped I'd be excited

when the wedding arrived.

It would be exhilarating.

And maybe I'd be in love to the royal who could help me understand my new role.

Are you in love?

With a royal.

Prince Frederick turned his whole world

upside down for Cassandra.

All of these events, all of this,

have taken the soul out of.

They were born out of true love.

And if I'm to honor the legacy that my family's line

was founded upon, then maybe I owe it to myself

and to my people to find someone that invigorates me.

Someone who makes me happy.

Vincent...

just tell me what to do.

Tell you what.

You talk to brides and grooms all the time.

Surely you must know what's meant to be and what's not.

This is not my decision.

Can be.

Okay.

If you can't do that

then just tell me the truth.

Tell you the truth about what?

Truth about us.

What about us?

Surely you felt it too.

You want to know the truth about us?

So I'm from the other side of the world.

I don't know the first thing about monarchy.

I'm a wedding planner.

I'm here to plan your sister's wedding,

to get a promotion and to go home.

And you?

You're a prince.

A prince who has a duty to his family,

to his country, and to most importantly, Juliette.

To respect her decision.

You're absolutely right.

I shouldn't have asked.

I apologize.

You can do this, Felicity.

You can do this. You've done this before.

Morning.

Merry Christmas.

Merry Christmas.

I um..

got you something.

You didn't have to do this.

I wanted to.

This is amazing.

Thank you.

Junie helped.

Have Juliet and George arrived yet?

Not George, but Juliette.

she should be down in a minute.

Right.

Good luck.

Prince Vincent.

Thank you.

You look stunning.

Thank you.

I didn't sleep.

Me neither.

I shouldn't have been rooting for the tournament to go wrong.

Should I?

I. I don't know.

Goodness.

I don't want this for Vincent.

How can I be happy knowing that I've made him miserable?

Am I making a terrible mistake?

You are going to make a wonderful bride.

And Vincent will make your parents proud.

He'll rule wisely.

You can still advise.

Okay.

I'm ready.

Let's go.

Actually, I.

I think it's best I don't go today.

It's Christmas day. I.

I should be spending it with my daughter.

But everything is

planned to the finest detail.

Thank you for everything.

I hope one day you get your dream wedding.

Me too.

Wow. I almost derailed a monarchy.

And I'm pretty sure that Wilhelmina's done with...

I thought you wanted to start your own company.

Anyway.

Yeah, I do.

So do it.

It's not that simple.

It's hard starting your own company.

You can do anything.

You know what?

You're right.

I can.

Let's go home.

Yeah

Get your stuff.

I'll finish this.

Dearly beloved,

we are gathered here today to join George and Juliette.

I object.

We haven't gotten to that part.

I object too.

What's happening?

What's happening is this is all wrong.

You two are only doing this to make everyone else happy.

And I'm tired of making my children do what everyone else wants.

Hear hear!

Father, you don't have to do this.

I won't risk the monarchy.

Forget the law. We'll work something out with the National Assembly to let Juliette retain her title.

Even after her marriage.

And you

retain your freedom.

Father, is that possible?

Oh. Thank goodness.

Well, in that case.

I object too!

Juliette what?

Oh sorry

I take it back. I got carried away of c..

Vince.

You should be with someone who makes you happy.

I think I have a feeling who that might be.

Yes. Where is our American and her moxie filled daughter?

I think she's in the middle of fleeing.

Fleeing? Where?

Back to America.

Stop the wedding.

You're about three minutes too late for that.

I'll leave you two to it.

I have a wedding planner to go after.

Vince.

Go get her.

Felicity, wait.

I'm happy for you, Vincent.

I truly am, but I still have my life to worry about.

Just wait.

Okay.

I spent a long time hating Christmas,

hating weddings, hating my duties

All of it.

And then you showed up,

and I realized that all these things that I don't enjoy,

they're actually beautiful.

Now the best part about traditions. Is that

you can always start new ones.

Do you really think we can make this work?

I'm in love with you, Felicity.

I love you, too.

This is the best Christmas ever.
