This program is rated G and is suitable
for general audiences.

Abby and I were really hoping you'd come
for Christmas dinner.

The kids are dying to see you.

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

I'm on duty.

If anything changes, I'll let you know.

Courier is entering the market.

Got him.

Thank you.

They're using the charity of the cash
shop.

I'll stay with the courier.

Package is on the move.

Transport. It's set up.

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

Subject is approaching Oxford.

Mission 20 steps.

Stand by.

She dropped the package.

I need an answer.

Arrest authority grounded.

Confirmed.

Security service!

Stop!

Excellent job, Officer Champion.

Now I lost her.

She won't get far. We're working on
updating her now.

Good work.

They took the bait.

Perfect.

The bomb squad cleared the package.

Old school tradecraft.

It's Microdot.

Nobody's used these since the Cold War.

This is bad.

As bad as it gets.

The Microdot contains security profiles
for Kensington Palace.

Schematics, names of security details,
alarm codes, shift changing.

Only someone on the inside could access
this information.

It presents an immediate threat to the
Royal Family.

Princess Rose, eldest daughter of His
Majesty the King, fast in line to the

throne.

Prince Edward.

husband to princess rose father to
princess l and prince robert second and

in line to the throne respectively
prince colin younger brother to princess

rose fourth in line to the throne Colin
does not reside at Kensington. However,

he visits frequently and oversees His
Majesty's Christmas charity on behalf of

the family. The threat and the charity
are somehow connected. I'm declaring

crisis top secret. We need our own
people in Kensington ASAP.

There are two immediate openings in the
stuff we can take advantage of. There's

protection officer and royal nanny.

Royal nanny? You're suggesting an
undercover?

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

as an intelligent force to identify the
security breach.

The family will be outraged if this gets
out. They'll claim we were spying on

them. Better outrage than the
alternative.

So.

Officer Chapman, you'll go undercover as
the royal nanny.

Officer Wallace, you'll be added to the
palace security detail to accompany and

assist.

Yes, sir.

People will do it like that. I do not
think I'm the best fit for this

assignment. Explain yourself.

I grew up in a children's home.

I was never adopted. I never had a
family of my own. I don't know the first

thing about looking after children. I
barely had a childhood of my own.

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

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

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

No, sir.

I'll do my best.

Good.

I'll place a phone call to the
headmistress of Devonshire Academy to

your cover. Can she be trusted?

Absolutely.

Lansbury is one of our most valued
outlets.

The Monsieur Academy.

Founded in 1902.

In their 120 years of proud history,
they have trained thousands of the best,

most respected nannies in the world.

Current headmaster, Miss Juliet
Lansbury, has personally hand -picked

caretakers of the royal children for the
last 30 years.

Right.

Let's swap.

You go to nanny training, and I'll work
security there. Not on your life.

You're qualified.

You have kids.

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

Abby holds the front line with the kids.

I'm only backup.

You make it sound like you're unfair.

It is.

Play nice.

Try and make friends.

Why do you think they call Miss Land
very scary, Poppin?

I have no idea.

but I suspect you'll find out soon
enough.

Mr. Jack? Oh, you startled me.

I startled everyone, apparently.

Carrie Poppins.

Miss Lansbury, save the pleasant truth.

I was read in by D .G. Taylor.

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

probationary nanny for me to even
consider facing someone in a royal

We have 24 hours.

Do you have any child care skills?

No. Do you have younger siblings?

No. Do you have friends with children?

Oh, my partner has kids.

Romantic partner. Work partner.

And do you ever sit for these children?

No, but I was a child myself once.

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

This is just not a teachable skill, I'm
afraid.

There's simply nothing I can do for you.

Good day.

Oh, Miss Lansbury.

I have no doubt you are the best of the
best in your field, but I too am the

best of the best in my field. And for
better or for worse, I might be the only

thing standing in the way of the
immediate threat to the future of the

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

An oath I am willing to give my life
for, but I need your help.

Keep that oath in service of the crown.

You're very direct, sincere and
uncomplicated.

All admirable qualities.

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

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

Chop, chop. Come on now.

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

always remains calm, always nurtures
with love.

She is properly prepared for any
situation.

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

Threats come in all shapes and sizes.

Your response must be measured promptly
and balanced accordingly.

This. is the perfect protection.

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

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

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

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

Every nanny likes to plan for rain.
Might even save your life.

And, well, the life of your charge.

Did you spend time in security service?

Oh, that's classified.

Let common sense be your guide.

At the end of the day, a nanny allows
children to be children.

because she knows in her heart love
always triumphs in the end.

Do you really believe that?

About love?

I must do. I wrote it.

Page 84, third paragraph.

Well done.

Given adequate time, I could have made
an excellent nanny out of you.

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

I would like to escort you to Kensington
and provide you with the proper

introductions.

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

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

I was thinking that I might be old
enough to make do without him then.

Really?

What about you, Robert?

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

Hmm, I see.

Perhaps we could meet her anyway.

Give her a chance?

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

And who knows?

She might surprise us.

Maybe she'll even like us.

There's a thought.

Come on.

How are you, Juliet?

Very well, ma 'am.

Might I introduce Miss Carter?

So nice to meet you, Your Highness.

Miss Carter comes highly recommended by
me.

Welcome to the palace.

These are my little darlings, Elle and
Robert, Your Highnesses.

Pleased to meet you.

We look forward to thriving under your
care.

Okay.

Claire, this is my assistant, Olivia.
She's going to help you get settled in.

Please, follow me. I'll escort you to
your quarters.

Do you think this one will stick?

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

I share this as a kindness.

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

What sort of mischief?

Pranks, mostly.

More often than not. They're harmless.

Some of them have sent a nanny or two
packing.

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

They all say that at first.

Here you are.

I'm in sight.

Welcome back.

Any red flags?

No, so far so good. But I'll be in
touch.

I'm so glad you're both here.

I believe you left a few things behind.

She's a tricky one.

Going to need reinforcement.

Uncle Colin!

What's the emergency?

It's the new nanny.

Another one?

Well, what's she done?

She foiled every one of our welcome
pranks.

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

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

won't we?

Come on.

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

Hello there.

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

Oh.

Uh, hello.

Welcome.

The children were quite eager for me to
meet you.

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

I think you'll find I'm quite fond of my
niece and nephew, and I take great

interest in anyone charged with their
care.

As you should be.

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

Aren't you forgetting something?

What's that?

Well played.

How are you getting on?

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

Really? I love my children with all my
heart, but they can be spirited to say

the least.

No, I found them absolutely delightful.

I don't think I believe you.

Alas, have a good evening.

There we all are.

What have you done to yourself?

Oh, um, our cooking lesson got a bit out
of hand.

Oh, really?

So, how do we like Claire so far?

Too soon to tell if we like her,
Georgette.

But we don't dislike her. Colin?

She's clever.

Too clever.

Well, at least that's a start.

This could be a Christmas miracle.

Shirley, stop! Let's open the door!

We know you're in that.

Open the door.

Ready for sweep.

All clear.

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

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

Father won't be home for Christmas.

We need him more than the Royal Air
Force.

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

But it won't be Christmas. It will be
just another day.

I know. I'm so sorry, darling. I wish
there was something I could do.

I got a school project I could use your
help with, Mum.

I'd be delighted.

When's it due?

End of the week. It should only take a
few hours.

Let's schedule some time.

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

We're all extended as it is, and then
we'll be travelling.

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

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

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

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

Let's pick this up tonight, OK?

We have an engagement.

We won't be home until late.

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

I know what it's like to miss my family,
especially on holiday.

This is Officer Wallace.

He'll be out of security for the next
few weeks.

Good morning, children.

Off to a running start, I see. This was
not my doing.

Well, it wasn't, I swear.

Not entirely.

Why the umbrella?

Losing a cloud in the sky.

Oh, well, I'm running it.

Have a good day.

We'll see you after school.

Vance needs us to come in.

Amanda Young.

You served together in the SAF.

What are you planning?

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

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

Put an end to it, willingly.

Michael Ford and Amanda Young, both ex
-military.

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

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

but... Do we have his phone?

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

Do we have anything on the van driver?

Employed by the transport company
contracted with the Christmas charity.

It is young work for the Christmas
charity.

We're looking into it. It's staffed
primarily by volunteers.

There are very few people actually in
their employ and volunteer records were

spotted there.

Right.

Let's retreat forward a step, see if we
can't find a phone.

Have you met him yet?

We've crossed paths.

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

Why do you know that?

Abby told me.

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

It's not as much for Prince Charming as
like a prince of pranks.

Let's go find Ford's phone.

Hello. Hi.

Do you have a lost land?

We do. What did you...

I think I dropped my phone here
yesterday.

Oh, we did have a folder turn up.

Is this it? Oh my goodness, yes, thank
you.

Thank you.

That could belong to anyone.

No, it is, trust me.

How can you be so sure?

Elementary, my dear wallet.

I'm a criminal.

I'm about to be taken into custody.

drop my phone in the Christmas lot, then
come back to recover it or get it from

the lost and found.

We're headed to Frogmore House.

Colin's residence.

Has there been a change of plan?

Had to secure its protocols.

Delaying our travel orders until the
last minute prevents leaks.

How was school today?

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

I bet you both love getting socks.

Perhaps laundry soap, dental floss,
shoelaces,

bowling balls, a bag of tweezers,
toenail clippings.

A bag of toenail clippings? Ew, who
would possibly want a bag of toenail

clippings for Christmas?

Well, as a fact, absolutely no one
anywhere who ever lived. I was just

get you both to break your vows, Simon.

Well played.

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

I most certainly am not.

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

Hello, children.

Welcome to Frogmore.

I'm Price, fallen security man.

Thank you.

Oh, hi.

Come on in.

Thank you, Nanny.

You'll not be needed for the rest of the
afternoon.

I'm on duty.

I must remain with the children at all
times.

There's no service you can provide my
niece and nephew over the next few hours

that I cannot perform diligently, and
your presence will only impose upon our

privacy.

I'm going to need to clear that with
Princess Ray.

By all means, feel free.

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

outside until we're finished.

I see

you've made another fast friend among
the royals.

That was my doing.

Wallace, what's going on?

Something triggered the silent alarm in
the kitchen.

I'm on my way.

I'm afraid you've caught me.

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

Stand down.

All clear.

False alarm.

What's all this?

Someone triggered the silent alarm, Mom.

What silent alarm?

Pipeline security measures were
installed today.

Why was I not informed?

Miss Morgan should have briefed you.

Top of my list for the morning.

I am so sorry. I think this is all my
fault.

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

What's your name, officer?

Wallace, ma 'am.

Officer Wallace.

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

Do you understand?

Yes, ma 'am.

I'm not sure of it.

Oh, you wish to be briefed right now?
Yes, please.

Very well.

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

responded with high -tech security
measures and additional security detail.

Should I be concerned?

Is this threat more credible than most?

We take all threats against the Crown
seriously.

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

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

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

Very well.

Thank you, Ollie.

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

Everyone should make their way back to
bed.

Sweet dreams to all.

Claire, stay behind, would you?

Oh, of course.

Thank you for covering. It means a lot.

It's my pleasure.

Coco?

Delicious. It's a family recipe.

Handed down from generation to
generation.

You'll come to find the palace is a
special place to be at Christmas time.

How are you getting on?

Oh, uh... Well, I... I think... Why?

What have you heard?

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

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

Fair enough.

You know, I wish I could say the same.

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

Add to that the state of heightened
security.

Admittedly, I'm struggling.

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

No. I have so much help and so much to
be grateful for.

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

of my loyal subjects than with my own
children.

And here I am trying to make up for it
in the middle of the night with packed

lunches. It's... I don't know.

Absurd, isn't it?

No.

No. It's wonderful.

As Miss Lansbury would say if she were
here, your children just want to know

that you are engaged and present in
their life.

So if...

pack lunches with how you do that, then
so be it.

Thank you.

That does actually make me feel slightly
less terrible.

Cheers.

I think we can make that work.

Robert, we've managed to make time for
me to help with your project on Thursday

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

I'm afraid it's a bit tricky.

I keep running into military protocol
restricting non -military use of the

secure satellite during deployment.

Well, keep trying. I have faith in you.

Who's responsible for this?

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

Thing I do.

This is Wallace.

We need another vehicle ASAP.

Did you do this on your own?

No, I thought maybe you did.

Thank you for being so good to me.

How did you manage to get so many
ornaments?

Well, I'm always prepared for any
situation.

Speaking of, when you served in the RAF,
how difficult was it for you to

schedule a video call with someone?

Difficult? Not impossible.

Requires a lot of legwork.

Depends mostly on scheduling and
available time when this occurs.

And bending a rule or two.

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

I'll look into it.

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

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

What could possibly make you say that?

See for yourself.

Who's responsible for this?

Outstanding! Well, the children have
certainly outdone themselves.

It wasn't the children.

It was Claire.

What? No.

I don't believe that.

It's true.

She made the effort to win them over.

And it seems to have worked.

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

She comes across as so prim and proper.

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

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

her. Are you sure that's wise?

You have been wrong before.

I'm only looking out for you.

I know you are.

It's sweet.

I can't quite explain why.

Call it intuition, if you will, but
something tells me Claire has all our

interests at heart.

Very good, Robert.

It's getting better.

I'm so sorry to interrupt.

I've managed to surprise, but we only
have a few more minutes to get that

Come here, Robert.

Father! Hello, my darlings.

I'm told I'm missed at home.

Terribly. Where are you?

I'm not allowed to say.

It's not important. Tell me everything
that's going on at home.

Well, has Robert been practicing his
violin?

He's been working so hard. Let's get in
the privacy, shall we? You've been

brilliant, haven't you?

You're the step in your duties.

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

Oh, strange, you can call it not as
difficult as you made it out to be.

Rome's protocol exists to be followed.

We can't wait to be here.

I miss you so much.

How's it going in there?

Could you look into Olivia for me? See
what you find.

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

Okay.

Thank you for the lovely surprise.

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

Thank you, Wallace.

My pleasure, Mum.

We're so accustomed to things being
asked of us. It's rare when someone

us with such a selfless and thoughtful
kindness.

Have a good day.

I love you too.

You were right.

They found something on that phone.

Young youth to rack the earth through
the charity to get a little too close

comfort to the royals.

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

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

He must be open to any possibilities.

History teaches us that even the best of
men would commit unspeakable acts to

sit upon the throne.

Consider me impressed.

No, really.

Princess Rose does nothing but sing your
praises.

Your instincts are very good.

You just continue to follow.

I could use your instincts in a delicate
matter.

Do you think Colin is capable of harming
the family?

You think he's innocent?

Don't waste your time.

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

But even if it meant wearing the crown?

The crown is not something Colin aspires
to.

Our prime...

Suspect has gotten close to Colin in the
charity, so I've been ordered to

include him in my watch.

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

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

Is there any way I can get things over?

This is now the barracks police.

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

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

I know exactly what you need to do.

Look who it is.

Hello.

Thank you, Nanny. Your services will not
be required.

I'm invoking the Lansbury Nanny
Protocol.

A Lansbury Nanny must always be within
arm's reach of her children while on

duty. If you interfere with performance
of said duties, I will be forced to

inform this Lansbury herself.

And you will have to deal with her
directly and empathically.

Scary poppin'. As I was saying before
you interrupted me, you're welcome to

us. However, your entry is conditional.

On what?

On proving that you can have fun.

Challenge accepted.

Welcome to my home.

I love the Christmas decor.

I keep it up year -round.

Every day is Christmas at Uncle Colin's.

Are they being serious?

They're just teasing you.

It looks like Santa's workshop in here.

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

many of the gifts as we can ourselves.

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

It's their first year.

They aren't exactly thrilled about it,
but that's because they have yet to

that hard work builds character.

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

No? Well, perhaps we're both worthy of a
second glance.

With her?

Yeah. Really? Yeah, we really do need a
fourth.

Sorry, for what?

All right, and go.

Two laces. Doing your laces.

You're dancing.

Ice skating, ice skating.

Robert.

Three, two, one, go. Big giant. You're
so strong. You're full of muscles.

You're so strong. You're carrying a...
Oh, your father Christmas. Your father

Christmas. Is that it? No, there's more.

Sorry, are you yelling at me because I'm
naughty. I've been naughty. Sorry

Coming town got what?

Naughty didn't I say that?

Giant nanny bag

Sack of toys.

We should get a point for that. We have
to consult the judge.

The judge will allow it.

That makes me do nothing.

You better catch up.

You're quite competitive.

What? You fit right in.

Love,

um, flies, um, mistletoe. Yes,
mistletoe. Well done.

That's game.

We trounced you. The girls win.

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

Not something that I've witnessed with
previous nannies.

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

Thank you.

What do you say? Should we induct Claire
into the Royal Fun Club?

The Royal Fun Club?

You're in the headquarters. Okay.

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

place where royal children can be
children.

We need to have a proper ceremony.

Yes. Fetch me my sword.

Thank you.

Please take... Oh, my shield.

Yes.

Thank you.

Please, take a knee.

Ms. Carter.

I dub thee Dame Carter.

Oh, Dame.

Rise, Dame Carter, order of the royal
punter.

Thank you, thank you, one and all, thank
you.

How long have you been involved in the
Griffiths charity?

Since I was about Robert's age.

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

I'm glad you feel that way.

How would you feel about volunteering
for us tomorrow while the children are

school?

I'd love to.

Wonderful.

Well done.

Great,

thank you for putting those together. So
you're going to bring those over to

the... To the van, just over there.
Thank you.

Hello again.

Hello again.

This is quite the operation.

Well, I'm glad you're on track.

Are you ready to get to work?

Absolutely.

Can I ask you something?

Certainly.

Why do you put so much effort into a
charity that you don't really have to?

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

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

That's a tad more delicate than I was
going to admit it, but essentially,

Well, I suppose it's selfish, really.

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

sorts of extravagant gifts at Christmas
time, and it didn't take long for the

novelty to wear off.

But... through the charity, I've
discovered that giving gifts brings me

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

Ah, James Wilder, richest man in
England.

Trying to get him to donate is like
trying to pull teeth from someone who

teeth. James, welcome.

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

I like to think of us as being in the
business of Christmas wishful thinking.

To call it business would mean it was
profitable.

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

have something to look forward to for
the holiday, the exact thing they are.

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

What can I do to convince you?

I can tell you firsthand the difference
a Christmas charity can make in a

child's life.

Please, enlighten me.

I grew up in a children's home.

Christmas charity was a constant we
could rely on. It made Christmas

It was something to look forward to
despite not being able to spend it with

families. I would rather establish
programmes to help the children overcome

their circumstances than provide them
with a luxury for one day.

I understand that, but a toy is not a
luxury. It's a hope and joy.

It reminds us that...

The world cares. You can't find a value
to that in a ledger because it's

priceless. The joy of receiving a gift
on Christmas Day can give a child, can

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

Where did you find this ringer, Colin?

Claire is nanny to my niece and nephew.

You're the nanny?

Yes.

What if you bought one toy for one
child?

See how it made you feel. If it brought
you joy, maybe you could buy more next

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

How many children does £200 provide for?

That would secure gifts for four
children. Four.

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

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

can... Fill a child's world with hope.

How many gifts short are you of making
your quota?

Oh, roughly a thousand.

I'll cover what remains.

Thank you.

Thank you, truly. This will make a
tremendous difference in the lives of so

children.

It was a pleasure to meet you, Claire.

Pleasure is all mine, sir.

Thank you.

Sorry. I have been after him for a rage.
You know, I think he took sinister

delight in turning me down year after
year.

I don't know how to thank you.

You are not like the other nannies.

Children.

The children. I need to get the
children. Yes, you should. Right now?

Yeah, of course. Goodbye.

We were hoping he might take us
Christmas shopping. We want to buy a

Mother. We'd like it to be a surprise.

Absolutely.

What were you thinking?

My main concern is being recognized by
any warrior watchers and causing a

Maybe you can stop for them.

No, the point of this is that they want
to do it themselves.

Claire is right.

He wanted to pick out a gift for her
together.

I'll call in the backup detail.

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

Plenty of time.

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

It's difficult to shop for her.

She gets so many gifts all year round.
Not just for Christmas.

That's a tough one.

What about getting your mum something
you can experience together?

Like puzzles?

She does.

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

These will look like so much fun.

How about these marbles?

These.

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

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

Brilliant. I love it.

I don't think we need it gift -wrapped.

Sort of professional in that department.

Come on.

We want both children.

We're

blocked in.

Walk away.

Walk away.

Three,

two, one!

Hello again.

Hello again.

I'm surprised to see you here tonight.

The children invited me.

It's a welcome surprise.

Shall we?

Let's go make a Christmas wish.

The Christmas wishing fountain.

Who needs a coin? Me.

Thank you.

Thank you.

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

That's my wish too.

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

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

On the count of three.

Three, two, one, make a wish.

Aren't you going to make your wish?

Yes.

What did you wish for?

If I tell you, it may not come true.

Okay.

You've gone from being decisive to
taking more than a passing interest in

Claire.

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

Do you like her?

Well, absolutely.

Claire's proven to be wonderful with the
children.

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

I'm sorry to have to do this to you,
Robert, but I won't be able to help your

project tonight.

But you promised.

I know. I'm so sorry, darling.

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

He still isn't feeling very well.

It's rubbish, isn't it?

I know.

All the travel arrangements have been
made.

You'll be flying out of Heathrow.

Thank you.

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

How about a pancake?

Let's go with the chocolate milk.

Wash it down.

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

Do I want to know why?

It's a matter of domestic security.

Only DG Taylor can give that order, but,
um... I'll put in the request.

Thank you.

Okay.

So this must be what they meant by
reindeer game.

Our plane was grounded with mechanical
issues.

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

project. Come play with us first.

We have work to do.

Please. Pretty please.

Just one game.

One game. But you have to be the
reindeer.

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

Hello again.

Hello again.

Yes, all play.

Oh, shall we? Well, I do think that it's
my sworn duty

as a member of the Royal Fun Club.

Oh, OK.

Not even close.

Are you aiming for my face?

All of Christmas.

Well,

I stand corrected. I believe that my
sister is the superior reindeer.

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

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

Colin, would you care to join us?

No, I think I'll make my way home. As
you wish.

Say goodnight, children.

Goodnight. Goodnight.

It seems we both unexpectedly have the
evening off.

If you're interested, I could give you a
guided tour of the palace gardens.

The Christmas light display is quite
spectacular at this time of year. Yes,

I'd like that, thank you.

I grew up here, you know.

Still feels like home.

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

The curse of being an orphan.

Never really sure you're on solid
footing no matter where you stand.

You were never adopted?

No. I'm sorry. That must have been
difficult.

No, it's all right.

I didn't grow up in a Dickens novel.

Everything turned out all right in the
end.

Seems to me as though my sister is
rapidly coming to treat you as if you're

of a family.

The children as well.

You know, I owe you an apology.

Regrettably, our introduction was not my
finest hour.

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

Apology accepted.

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

it.

I've been really good with the children.

They look up to you.

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

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

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

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

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

myself.

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

each other.

Sir, I need you to come with me
immediately.

Why? What's happened?

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

matter.

Right now?

Yes, sir.

Price.

Does it have to be right now?

Yes, sir.

Claire, I'm sorry.

Apparently I need to cut our outing
short.

I completely understand.

Good night.

Good night, Pat.

Have you been in development in the
case?

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

Amanda Young.

She volunteers for our charity.

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

possibly even yourself.

I've received countless security threats
over the years.

Young has a military background and was
in possession of the security protocols

for Kensington.

Only someone within the trusted inner
circle of the royal family could obtain

this information, and she's been
surveilling your sister and the children

quite some time.

This isn't a security briefing. It's an
interrogation.

It looks that way.

For they've been thoroughly vetted.

The vetting process only works if
they've been convicted of a crime, not

they're planning one.

What more can you tell us?

She was a hard worker. She only joined
our efforts this year.

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

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

involvement of the children.

The charity does not function without my
involvement. Stepping back is not an

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

Gentlemen, my sincere hope is that you
are both very good at your jobs, and

will be the last time you have any to
speak on this matter.

No, I'm not.

I just don't recall any people who do
anything to put a family in danger.

Don't fall prey to the royal charms.

I need you to remain professionally
dispassionate on this assignment. You

be willing to go where the evidence
leads you.

Yes, sir.

I use Ford's mobile device to map his
route to the charity drop.

Maybe catch him on CCTV.

Takes some time, but yes.

What exactly are we looking for?

I want to find out where that package he
was carrying came from.

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

Until the threat is contained, cancel
the Christmas party.

Nonsense.

I won't hear of it.

I want my children to have a somewhat
normal existence.

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

Price, what's your professional opinion?

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

most secure place in the country at this
moment.

Good. Hear that? Good.

I'll consider the matter settled.

Are you trying to collect them all? I
want the sample one of everything.

See what I like best.

Thank you.

Ooh, yum.

Come here.

What are you doing out here?

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

the spotlight.

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

Well, perhaps we could all go down
together.

No, no. Save yourselves.

My fate is inevitable.

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

Hello. What's all this?

This is your party, Colin.

You need to actually attend.

On one condition. I would like Claire to
attend as well, as my guest.

Lovely.

I'm all for it.

That is very nice.

But what about the children?

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

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

But I think I might have something for
just such an occasion.

Blended.

You know, I must confess, all our lives
do seem to be a bit brighter with you in

it.

I'm grateful.

All right, let's go.

Turn up.

Off we pop.

Your Highness, good evening.

Your Highness. Thank you for coming.

How have you been, madam?

Thank you.

Excuse me. You look

stunning as always.

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

I stand by my statement.

Oh, thank you for coming.

Hello. Hello.

Good to see you, Mrs. Clare.

Hello. Lovely to be here.

Thank you so much for being here.

Hello.

Lovely evening. Good to see you. May I
have a word?

Thank you.

Thank you. Yes, of course. No, no, I'm
quite interested. I think it's a very...

I thought I might find you here tonight.

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

Being with the children has... Without
something in me, I... I didn't know

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

children at the children's home.

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

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

Thank you.

Merry Christmas, Miss Lansbury. Merry
Christmas, dear boy.

I need to thank you. You have sent us a
true gift, Miss Clare.

She has exceeded even my greatest
expectations for her service.

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

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

I all mean.

Where are you taking me?

It's a surprise.

I've never been in this room before.

This is where I keep some of the
presents so Robert and Elle don't find

before Christmas morning.

They're beautiful.

Every year I try to create a different
display and then I give Robert and Elle

Christmas tree ornament.

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

decorations they've collected over the
years.

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

now. That's very thoughtful.

It's nothing much, just special memories
for me.

No, those are the things that matter the
most.

From the heart, they're timeless and
priceless.

That's the idea.

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

Well, I try to encourage them to
appreciate the simple things in life and

to be grateful for having each other.

The love of a family is very special
indeed.

I'm glad to have you.

Thank you for saying that.

Truly, I...

Go to the ball.

The ball. Right, we should go back to
the ball.

Back to the ball then.

We used the recovered phone to reverse
engineer the courier's route to the

charity kiosk.

The package containing the microdot
originated from Colin? We can't assume

passed along the security info.

He would have access to it. What does
Ford have to say?

He's done our talking.

No, Colin is not the bad guy.

How can you be certain? Because I've
spent time with him. And believe me, I

spent time with some pretty unsavoury
characters in this line of work. And

stands above them all.

Would you trust him with your life?

I would, yes.

That would be a mistake.

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

Sir, if you feel my integrity has been
compromised, perhaps you should remove

from this case.

The only way through this is forward.
You are still the best asset we have in

the game.

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

to.

I grew up here.

In this exact home?

Yeah.

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

It's almost like being visited by the
ghost of Christmas Park.

Oh.

Well, that's awkward.

Because I am the ghost of Christmas
presents.

Well, okay.

Thank you.

Right.

Yes,

this one.

Welcome.

That's very good.

One more.

Good.

Oh, yeah, go ahead.

All right. Now, why don't we all open
our gifts together on the count of

Ready? One, two, three.

Happy...

Your Royal Highness.

I feel it best to explain.

My name is Claire Champion, not Carter.

I'm with security service. We covered a
credible threat against you and the

children and deemed it best to place me
here undercover as an added layer of

protection for just such an occasion.

Thank you for protecting my children.

I'm sorry to tell you this, but... But
they took Colin.

What can be done to bring him home
safely?

Oh, stop.

You are relieved of your assignment.

I'll take it from here.

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

You're relieved of the assignment.
That's an order. I'm sorry.

Who exactly are you?

D .G. Taylor, am I certain? My first
priority at this moment is tending to my

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

Everyone else needs to leave
immediately.

But we need to brief you on the
situation. Officer Champion will brief

anything I need to be briefed on.

Is that understood?

Yes, ma 'am.

with you.

I would do everything in my power to
bring Colin home safely.

I know you will.

I owe you one.

It's what we trade for.

The day we hope never comes.

Something just doesn't fit, does it?

I don't follow.

Young knew who I was.

She recognized you from the market? No.

No, she called me by my real name.

Not my alias.

Only someone in 510th house could have
given it to her.

Exactly.

Officer Price is missing after the
exchange.

Seems he was taken as well.

Miles needs us to come in immediately.

We traced Prince Colin's secure phone.

It led us right back here.

Well, this package was delivered a draft
to you. It's been cleared. It's safe to

open. Prince Colin, I think your friend
is annoyed.

Officer Champion.

Hello, Officer Champion.

The children are safe.

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

I would tell them to bugger off.

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

I'm going to get you out of this.

I promise.

Thank you, Claire.

They want the courier Ford released,
along with the drive containing 50

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

Shouldn't this be up to the family?

The family has no say in this
whatsoever.

This is a matter of state now.

I don't like how Dale is handling this.

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

You don't get to be the head of the
security service by way of a popularity

contest.

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

Maybe connected. Maybe not.

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

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

Okay.

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

that were recently resolved by a series
of large cash transfers.

Financial issues.

Make them a prime target for coercion
from 11 and outside sources.

Are you saying you think I'm involved
with Colin's abduction?

You had access to all the security
protocols. You had access to my

day of.

The funds came from the mirror. The
family?

I was telling them gossip about the Rohr
family.

I'm not a kidnapper.

They were particularly interested in a
budding relationship between Prince

and the Royal Nanny. My rule at the
palace is classified.

Any information you divulge going
forward will be considered an act of

punishable by ten years in prison.

What's this?

A letter of termination from Princess
Rose.

Effective immediately.

The PM has ordered a national emergency
and convened Cobra. As of this moment,

we've been ordered to stand down.

The PM is making a grave mistake.

It's his mistake to make.

By the time the experts and the crisis
planners and the politicians all get up

to speed, it will be too late.

Young has been one step ahead of us this
entire time. It's as if someone in

Thames House is behind this entire
operation.

Your feelings for the Prince are
blinding you. The evidence is plausible

to point to him as the mastermind behind
this entire endeavor.

By getting himself kidnapped.

His plan to take the children failed. He
improvised.

This is personal for you.

Do you have something against him,
against the family, against the royals

general? You are out of line, officer.

No, sir, I am in line. Because you keep
trying to take this piece of the puzzle

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

You are suspended from active duty. Turn
in your credentials and pray that I

don't have you decommissioned.

I'm being suspended.

It's not the best way to begin, Kristen.

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

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

Heist is in on it.

Young and Ford served with him in the F
.A.

I'm sorry, how do you know all this?

I have eyes and ears everywhere.

No.

We shouldn't give this to him.

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

My sources tell me.

Ford and Young, the former MI7.

How could we have missed that? They were
decommissioned, and their involvement

in the security service was wiped off
the record.

where they became ghost agents for off
-book missions.

It's rather like something right out of
a Christmas carol.

But Taylor must be behind it. Why?

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

considering absorbing it into a newly
formed joint security center.

Create the national crisis, save the
day. It does prove how essential you

Precisely.

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

Your dear boy.

I was Colin's nanny back in the day.

Who do you think gave me the nickname
Scary Poppins?

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

for.

Had better be good. Colon security
detail, Officer Price. He's not missing.

He's in on it.

If my sources are correct, Colon is
inside.

I'd say that's pretty good. Well,
they're preparing to release Ford with

ransom, so... We'd better be quick.

It has to be.

I bet my life on it.

What's the plan?

Are you just going to go down the
chimney?

Like Santa Claus?

We have to be smart about this and do it
my way. Wait a minute. Nothing like

Christmas Eve takeaway.

Wonderful. Hungry. Thank you.

I'm in.

There's somebody coming your way.

To trust me.

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

No. I only lied to you about what I do.

Not who I am.

I trust you.

Stay behind him.

Where is he?

What? Where is he?

Come on.

He can't be gone.

A Lansbury nanny always comes to reign.

All good, boys.

I've got it.

You are quite amazing.

Mrs. Lansbury would be proud.

What's the meaning of this? It's over,
sir. We know you were behind it all,

attempting to frame Prince Colin.

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

Everything I did was for the good of the
service.

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

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

wrong.

You'll see.

It's the job.

Changes you.

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

Uncle Colin! I'm listening.

No! Uncle Colin!

Colin!

Oh, so good to see you. Oh, you're
crushing me.

Thank you for bringing him home. It's my
pleasure.

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

Ho, ho, ho.

Happy Christmas, one and all.

Father! You're here!

How did you pull this off?

The abduction triggered a military
safety protocol, so Edward was relieved

activity immediately.

What did

you wish for by the fountain?

To spend Christmas here with you and
your family.

Harlow? Yes, of course.

She's right here.

Just a moment.

It's for you.

Thank you.

Cloud Champion?

Yes, Your Majesty.

I'd love to.

No, absolutely.

Thank you.

The king just invited me to spend
Christmas at Sandringham.

Well, that's highly unusual.

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

This is quite an unusual break in royal
protocol.

Claire is family.

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

Sooner than later.

Yes! Come on.

Hello again.

Hello again.

I guess Miss Lansbury was right.

Love does triumph over all.
