idea ask yourself Excuse Me Miss I

couldn't help but notice you in that

young student there oh I'm sorry I

didn't mean to overstep I just want to

show them some things I do with my own

students so you are a teacher yes but um

I'm wait for an

appointment my name is James I work for

the royal family I've been tasked with

finding a dance instructor for Prince

philli oh thank you but I'm not looking

for a job so nice to meet you it is a

temporary position in preparation of the

Christmas Eve Galla we will of course

pay the standard

rates I'm sorry I'm only in town for a

few days and I don't even have my dance

clothes or shoes and I've just missed my

appointment so I'd like to get back to

my hotel we'll cover the accommodation

for the week transportation to and from

the Castle as far as clothes well you

can purchase what you need with this the

castle so if I teach the prince then I

can go beyond the

gate

naturally when do I

start hello again oh that's me right

there in the list yeah Chelsea Jones j o

n e s that's me top of

the thank you

[Music]

the dance should be teaching Prince

philli requires a particular sequence of

moves there can be no room for

improvisation you must adhere to a

strict Protocol no improv gotcha is that

an original because of the lack of

progress with the other three teachers

you will need to practice every day what

happened to them anyway they were

removed from their posts simply not up

to the task now now it will take immense

focus and concentration oh oh sorry

sorry so cute is that the prince indeed

everything you need to know is in here

okay

great oh these are just variations on

the standard weal technique this is

going to be adorable pardon me do we

know who he's dancing with yet will she

be here too this is not yet known it is

of course an enormous decision not to be

taken lightly I will let Prince Philip

know you have arrived you may wait for

him in the East Ballroom you have a

ballroom we have three you will be using

the East wig you have the week it's up

to you to succeed where others have

failed just down those stairs don't

worry just leave a little guy to

[Music]

me wow

[Music]

I see you found a way

in it's you I thought you had no

interest in the castle and I thought you

wore glasses do you live here I suppose

we were both misled oh this is sort of a

recent Development I've been hired to

teach Prince Phillip is that so yeah

apparently he scared off all the local

instructors oh sorry is he your son or

nephew or something ah there you are

your highness I'd like to introduce you

to miss Chelsea Jones Miss Jones Prince

Phillip we

met from lesson I suggest you not waste

any more time you're Prince Phillip it

would appear so so the photo in the hall

that was taken many years ago

right okay um well uh I guess we can get

started no I I won't be dancing with you

today it's true I usually work with kids

but I promise you I'm more than

qualified to teach you these steps no

I'm sure you are but I have no interest

in learning that

dance but I was hired to teach you that

dance

indeed you're here for our lesson

technically yes you won't be dancing now

you're getting it

you're welcome to join me in a game of

chess naturally look if if you're not

going to

dance I have somewhere else I could

[Music]

be I don't feel bad the finest

instructors in all of Heaven Shire

couldn't get me on that floor you stood

little chance of

succeeding I'm not from Heavens

Shire I'm from Chicago

and I can be very

[Music]

patient on guard did you know Chelsea

that when you move into a position to

take your opponent's Queen the

gentlemanly thing to do is to give a

warning on

guard you'd be amazed how many players

admit this sense of decency is that so

but I'm a gentleman see so I warned

myself on God you know it's funny you're

actually one of the few people who will

take a queen

someday will you say on

guard

H perhaps I can't tell if that's

romantic or arrogant can't it be

both seems like our time is

up S time tomorrow looking forward to

it we shall bring that report to

Parliament when they

reconvene Merry Christmas to you as

well hi sorry I I think I took a wrong

turn or maybe

five oh you're the queen I

am and you are Chelsea Jones uh the new

dance teacher

how's my son progressing well it was

just the first

lesson my son can be quite stubborn well

fortunately so can I I am glad to hear

it they're by the clock H your

glasses observant

[Music]

too well um it was an honor to meet you

I'll just see myself out

[Music]

sorry which way is the exit take a left

at the end of the hole thank

[Music]

you

finally okay Mom why were you

[Music]

here havenshire Museum of Arts and

Antiquities

[Music]

of course I'd find out on a Wednesday at

5: mother may I have a word yes of

course I met your new

instructor I had no idea James's search

for a suitable replacement would take

him all the way to America yes well

Chelsea seems very talented and just how

did you discern that from behind your

chess

board I'm not sure that I see the need

for these lessons I think you

do our guests arrive

tomorrow have you made your decision

well uh that is why I need more time and

I've given it to you but there are

expectations Phillip it must be this

Christmas

Eve who will she be

[Music]

[Music]

on

guard go right upstairs and get washed

up it's almost

dinner oh to be young and full of such

energy those your grandchildren no my

wife Hannah and I Foster H and Gregor

they're Brothers have you considered

adopting them yourselves we would in a

heartbeat my wife and I have submitted

the paperwork but the process has been

difficult apparently there's some

backlog at the

agency there are many

challenges but they are worth

it now who's winning me oh also I'm

losing

oh may I ask what you're doing you can

play chest by yourself I can dance by

myself to shame besides someone walks by

everybody think we're really doing a

lesson and then I won't lose my job you

know I'll happily double whatever

they're paying you please w't you sit

down I'm sure b style is different from

what you're used to but actually last

night I read a quote from a chess

Grandmaster do you wish to succeed you

must Brave the risk of failure failure

but you're not going to fail you're

going to do great look it's it's not a

matter of difficulty it's a matter of

Desire they have no wish to learn why I

mean you love to dance in the PB you

asked me nobody knows I was in the pub

that day is is it not allowed no I'm

required to travel with a security

detail beyond the castle walls but a man

can only spend so long under the

watchful eye of others so you put on a

hat and some glasses people really don't

know it's you many indulge

me it is exhausting to always to be in

the spotlight I require a reprieve a

reprieve where people pretend not to

recognize you but I don't expect you to

understand you're a dancer you flourish

under the bright lights I'm not some big

time stage performer my mother was a

real dancer I'm I'm just a

teacher everyone in my life expects

something from

me I need something you know mine

alone why can't we have that here no

expectations just just two people

dancing

disguise

[Music]

optional why are you here

really why did you have to get past the

gates if you've no interest in royalty

and what brings a dance teacher from

America to having sh in the first place

I'm looking for information about my

biological

family my mother died when I was very

young but I found a photo of her from a

Christmas she spent here in

havenshire and she was with someone I

think my father they were standing in

front of a building building that seemed

really important to them somehow anyway

that's the museum beyond the gate

so and if go I don't dance you lose this

job and any chance to discover more

about

[Music]

it best reason I've had to dance

yet dance the most important thing is

posture for the man that's straight up

and down like a Christmas tree yeah very

good and then the arms stretch out like

the branches nice and

Tall I'm already quite tall well that's

okay how tall is the woman you're

dancing with that is as yet unknown well

you can bend your knees a little if you

want but your top half should be upright

Regal actually well I D that down and

since we're doing a strict Walt we'll

remain in this basic position the entire

time M yeah that's good you've done this

before just enough to be

dangerous um well we can jump into the

choreography

okay okay starts with you offering me

your hand I step

forward and into position and then we

sway one two three and then on three

step forward your left and then one 2

three very good now we start a spin turn

okay and

[Music]

oh oh um it's called a spin turn but you

don't actually spin me we actually spin

together in that same position like this

right

one two yeah we go let's try again from

the top okay and don't spin me

okay okay here we

go and one 2

3 2

[Music]

3

wonderful hello Mother your majesty

progressing quite

well but there's no spin yes Mother of

course your highness I'm sorry to

interrupt but our guests have arrived

ahead of schedule your presence is

requested at the receiving line of

course I'm afraid we'll have to leave it

you weren't supposed to go into a town

without your security detail

ah

inito

okay you know your mother the queen

thinks I'm teaching you the dance wrong

why did you keep spinning me

I suppose that my desire for Freedom

invades even my dance lessons or maybe

it's just that spinning you is so much

fun I don't get so much of that in my

life fun or

Freedom

either it don't get me wrong I love my

country I love serving my people the

castle seems really

fun so you dream about as a kid living

in a

castle imagine

IAL when I'm in the castle I'm usually

working on diplomacy or other matters of

State slowly but surely alleviating my

mother's

workload soon enough I'll take over

completely my mother's expressed a

desire to step

down so you'll become king yes but in

Haven Shire King is expected to be

married did you know that there is an

old hav Superstition that if you put

your Christmas stocking underneath your

pillow that night you will dream of the

one that you'll marry

prince of Heaven shine only because he

deserved

it hang on no stop I must defend a

lady's

honor

Chelsea I'd like you to meet Elizabeth

Kent Elizabeth leads our commission on

monetary policy and economic growth wow

Consulate Chelsea is my dance

teacher philli ah I'm sorry I have to

leave but please do stay enjoy the food

we certainly have enough of it

oh that's decoration oh thank you

welcome what have an embarrassing that's

also

decoration may think I should stick to

the waffles this is a waffle right yes

may I recommend the Christmas orange M

or my favorite the

cley try it just don't expect me to say

it

thank you for your help I feel so out of

place well we belong where we decide we

belong I'm Gwen Chelsea such a pleasure

to meet you you too how do you know

philli I'm his dance

teacher oh I do not envy you Philip and

I grew up together and I am very

familiar with this doen

streak are you staying at the castle uh

no no no I'm actually between

accommodations right now I was staying

this in down the road but my

reservation's almost up yeah well I'm

sure we can find your room here oh I

will talk to the queen no no no no

please don't do that no it's no trouble

at all no

no that was quite

presumptuous what seems she's making

herself right at

home she expects Philip to propose to

her on Christmas

Eve premiering Saturday does section

ends with an over sway come around this

way yes the more stretched the better

remember stay tall look at Christmas

tree yeah beautiful that's what I'm just

going to

say water

break yes yes

great oh thank you you're welcome you

know it is taking every ounce of my

self-restraint not to run and slide

across this floor

oh well surely you've slid across this

floor in socks at some point what not

even as a kid oh come on Barn floors are

the best for sliding and this one has

just the right smoothness and believe it

or not there is a protocol for how one

walks through public areas of the castle

no running and definitely no sliding no

fun or Freedom

exactly how was the breakfast I'm so

sorry that I couldn't spend more time

with you I met Gwen she is she's amazing

she's beautiful and she's so nice

congratulations how long have you been

together oh no no we're not oh um sorry

I thought I I heard that I was going to

propose

yeah that is a possibility I'm

lost it's

complicated I'm sorry you don't have to

tell me no no no it's not

that would you like to go for a walk

sure

the reason that I'm reluctant to learn

the dance is that it's part of a

centuries old tradition that I've been

putting off for many years after dancing

with various guests throughout the

evening I'm expected to perform that

particular once with the person that I

choose to

marry at the Christmas ball I will

signal for the song to

play and the bells will ring and

everyone will know my choice as the wals

begins

that sounds like the ball in Cinderella

the prince dancing with ladies and

choosing a bride indeed it has gained

the nickname the Cinderella Christmas

ball but in modern times surely you

would know ahead of time who you're

proposing

to the dance is just a formality right

the generations now

yes but you haven't chosen

yet no and you will before Christmas

it is my duty to do so have more to

consider than my happiness my mother

she's earned her

rest and here I thought you were just

trying to get out of some dance

lessons I'm sorry no don't me you have

been a breath of fresh

[Music]

air to bias I am so glad you could join

us for this momentous occasion

has Phillip shared his

decision I am unsure if one has been

made he has fought it every step of the

way it's not a choice one should make

lightly I wed Frederick when we were

teenagers the greatest success of my

life not everyone has a love story like

you and Frederick

[Music]

so it turns out it wasable all along

mother's face was

priceless are you all right

chel who are they guess this is the

holly berry Ballet Company the perform

at the castle every Christmas um would

you excuse me of course I'll get you

back thank

[Music]

you um excuse me I'm Chelsea uh you

don't know me I think my late mother

might have been a part of your Ballet

Company years ago she she was a dancer

um this is her it looks like she might

have been wearing a Hol Berry ballet pin

it's possible your mother danced with us

as a guest soloist at some

point um the picture was taken in ' 87

were you part of the troop back then no

I didn't take over until much later but

we do keep records of past rosters I'd

be happy to look into it for you oh my

goodness thank you so much if your

mother danced with the Troth she must

certainly performed here at the castle

oh wow oh

wow morning there you go CL good morning

I am sorry we couldn't extend your stay

were you able to find suitable

Arrangements yes I was happy to hear it

thank you for everything and I'll see

you at the family Foster Santa event of

course okay oh where will you be sayfe

the castle actually um I know uh I'm

teaching the prince a dance it's it's a

long story wonderful I thought you two

got on well the other day you never know

what tomorrow might bring each day is a

gift from God wrapped in new paper my

mother used to say that sounds like your

mother was a smart lady um see you take

[Music]

care moving in are we

[Music]

oh does this fold out into a bed this is

the sitting

room my room has a room if you have any

questions please ask a footman I will be

available after 2: p.m. and I shall call

upon you then

[Music]

thanks I think my mother toured with an

international ballet company and danced

here at the castle really yeah I knew

she was a dancer but nobody could really

tell me much more than that so do you

think somebody at the castle might

remember her I hope so okay can we go

back to the part where you're moving in

with royalty and is that normal for a

dance instructor to move into the castle

nothing about this trip has been normal

philli is a dream boat you should go for

it okay back to the real world I'm going

to go ask around the castle and see you

could totally be Cinderella no no snow

white goodbye

[Music]

Rebecca excuse me does this woman look

[Music]

familiar the holly berry Ballet company

she would have been here the Christmas

of

87 you go I tend to count as SC yes they

ought to me Rec calling a single dancer

a slim can you just look at the

photo you know if you loosened your tie

you might be a little more comfortable

well I stop there I could simply trade

my uniform for a T-shirt and a pair of

flipflops that's a tough look but I

think you could pull it off we have a

dress code Miss Jones it is protocol

right I'll if I get these right

trade do you recognize her she does look

familiar but I couldn't say why you

probably saw her here performing her

husband my father might have been with

her just any memory at

all I don't sorry I I can't help

more I got this thank

you so tell me how's the search for

information on your mother going oh um

well I've been showing the photo to some

older staff members around the castle

nothing yet can I see the

photo

sure what's your mother's name Jane

she's very beautiful you have her eyes

thank

you she passed away when I was five so

all I have left of her are a few

photos and this necklace H it's

lovely you know this is Haven Shire

Museum I'm hoping to find some answers

when it opens Monday morning so I keep

this photo just for tonight I'd like to

show my mother see if she can shed any

light on it thank

[Music]

you and she danced here I believe so do

you recognize

her I'm not entirely sure

but we have had many talented dancers

come through the

castle including her daughter your

teacher

indeed she's waited a lifetime for

answers I hope to help her find

them she's important to you as she's

helping me I think it's only right that

I return the favor of

[Music]

course come in

hi any another Pub No something very

special would you like to join me

[Music]

sure this is

incredible so almost time what are we

waiting

for heav sh does love his

Bells Bells to Signal my choice of a

bride on Christmas

Eve yeah for Generations these bells

have rung every night of Christmas

week these

bells they bring me peace especially

when things feel

uncertain they're

beautiful I eny

you me MH you look at the world with

such possibility and I Still Moments

behind a pair of glasses

I wish you had known my father who was

kind brilliant ruled with such self

assurance strong and

serious and now my mother she leads with

wisdom and

Grace the truth

is the moment that I make my choice the

moment I step out onto the floor for

that dance I accept an incredible

responsibility

I will be

king how can I help to live up to their

legacy I'm nothing like them why do you

have to be like them there are

expectations that come with being

King can't go to the local public you

can't mix in crowds with or without a

disguise is it so bad to mix with crowds

in public from time to

time it's not proper kingly behavior I'm

afraid I just I don't know how I'd

understand people's needs from afar you

know to hear bits of conversation hear

their real concerns yeah that sounds

invaluable as a leader i' never never

see my parents at the

P I just I can't shakee the feeling that

I don't belong on the

[Music]

throne maybe you were meant to force

your own path as king

[Music]

anies I don't mean to burden you with my

problems I don't feel burdened it's

because you're a wonderful

person thank

[Music]

you my mother she said the woman in the

photograph did look

familiar but she couldn't shed any more

light on it than that I'm

afraid I really appreciate you even

asking we will find

what you're looking

for I

promise we you're not

alone I've never brought anyone here

before well thank you for sharing it

with

me and for whatever it's worth I think

you'll make an incredible King Just the

Way You Are

I'm afraid we're going to have to

postpone our lesson tomorrow it's the

Christmas tree Christmas tea what is

that besides a mouthful well it is just

a little celebration where guests bring

ornaments with sentimental meaning and

then we decorate the rawal Christmas

tree while drinking

tea yes yes indeed will I see you

there

okay

excellent excellent

that's well uh good night shallel see

good

[Music]

night pH

pH welcome so good glad you good me pH I

don't envy his

position I'm to buy a Sal spry oh

Chelsea Jones no need for such

formalities Miss Jones I just don't want

to offend anyone so I've been doing it

to everyone I meet the footmen outside

were pretty confused but in my defense

their uniforms are very official

looking I hear you've made quite an

impression during your Prest stay is

that good or bad always

good sometimes a boat needs to be Rock

I'm I'm not here to rock any boots you

remind me of the heroin of an alorian

fairy tale My grandmother used to read

me as a child classic yet unafraid to BU

system it is so lovely to see you my

dear how is UA it has been far too long

she's well thank you she sends her best

your majesty congratulations on a superb

event why thank you Elizabeth the

Christmas festive always have such

profound economic benefits to the

community that is a benefit to be sure

but Christmas reminds us to be the best

part of ourselves a little Kinder a

little more generous I think we can all

dink to

that that's an

ornament how are you enjoing the spread

oh it's great it's great I just think

there should be more

labels

H tough thing to most popular guy in the

room

right since this is an occasion all

about ornaments I thought you might like

to have

this you

remembered from our

walk well I uh going to do the rounds

yeah Elizabeth lovely party isn't it oh

yes it's very did you know Tobias used

to be a dukee back in his

country yeah what what happened he fell

in love with the wrong

woman there are expectations for people

like Mr Salsbury and Phillip when they

select a partner they must consider what

is best for a

nation Mr salesbury made a selfish

choice and it cost him

Dearly B will not make the same

mistake I've been taking a few W lessons

of my own

well I'll be ready for that dance you're

teaching

him enjoy the

[Music]

graves you are becoming distracted from

your objective A Relic mother all of

this pump and pageantry for

what a diplomatic Alliance I thought you

were fond of qualin I am but ah

Elizabeth is a fine choice

she is not royalty you know that eloria

recently opened its protocols allowing

for established political families to

intermar with royalty we have no problem

with

it Gwen and Elizabeth both have much to

offer it is an opportunity for happiness

if only you could embrace

it I will you are ready it's Mary to

become

King your diplomatic instincts are

spoton your reform proposals have made a

real improvement with our domestic

policies why do you doubt

yourself why didn't you and father ever

go out in public you know just go to a

restaurant talk to

people is that what's bothering you

sometimes I feel the need to to put on a

hat and glasses and pretends not to be

royal you know about that

mhm your father was a very private King

he didn't keep himself from the public

because it was the kingly thing to do

it's just that he was more comfortable

away from the

crowds

he and I have taken care of of our

people from

afar you might take care of them from

closer

[Music]

up Forge my own

path take courage Phillip you were to be

just fine

[Music]

sh what are you doing here today's the

day didn't think I'd miss

it show

we another room this place is

huge what exactly are we looking

for I'm not sure so we'll know it when

we see it hope

so you know with every year that passes

I feel like my mother gets further

away my memories of her get

hazier I just thought this might be a

chance to connect with her somehow I

mean this is just one Gallery there's so

much of the museum left to explore

oh my

gosh what is

it do you recognize her not her

this your pendant it can't be a

coincidence can it no it can't be this

is

it wow oh sorry no no I gosh I'm so

happy for you this is there's no

information on the woman's Identity or

and no artist hold on

ah

yes it says here that it was donated by

a private

collector artist in subject unknown is

there a theory on who she might have

been uh it is unlikely to have

originated in havenshire due to the

style of the

headpiece not much more but I can

certainly ask the board of Ro historians

to look into it thank

you but that is incredible

wow you could be my mother's mother or

my mother's mother's mother and here I

thought she was from Detroit well

perhaps she was maybe the necklace was a

gift listen before I forget I have made

arrangements for the Royal dress maker

to stop by your room tomorrow before our

lesson for what the

ball I didn't realize staff was invited

well they're not but you're

special you're the the the prince's

dance instructor you see the fruits of

your labor I still think it's too

much you deserve every bit of

it uh you know what I should probably

change for the family Foster event you

know about this event know about it I'm

in

it would you like to

join yeah well it's not the royal family

doesn't usually attend it's more for the

people to enjoy not an event full of

pump and Circumstance shall we say so

put your glasses

[Music]

on

Gwen are you all right yes ni I'm

fine this week's just been very

stressful do you want to talk about it

yes

Philip and I were born one month apart

did you know that I came first and but

it's perhaps the only month where I

wasn't tied to him in the eyes of our

parents I've known the engagement wants

choreography for the Cinderella

Christmas ball for years

now there's just always been this

expectation that we would

wed wait you don't want

to you think I'm mad I mean he wouldn't

want to be

Queen all of these other women would

trade positions with me in a

heartbeat no Elizabeth

would I do love Phillip just as a dear

friend what are you going to

do well Philip asked me to marry him I

of course

will Bells will ring and we will Walts

done it's my duty

was a lovely event I'm so glad that I

came and I learned quite a bit from

Santa of all

people have you two been good this year

I have just a few candy canes left

thank you my dear I've decided to

increase funding and resources to the

Foster program I think that should help

a lot of these children get adopted more

expeditiously that would be

wonderful you know today these these

kids they felt like like they belong

like they were a part of a community I'm

told that they look forward to this

event all year could you hold monthly

events I'm sure the Foster families

would be happy to help organize them I

don't see why not I'd be honored to fund

the May event in honor of my grandmother

who was born in May and always loved the

blooms of that season I presume other

guests might also be eager to contribute

to such a worthy Endeavor thank you so

much thank you oh Dy

unsubstantiated rumors not

protocol good luck

[Music]

dear CL

Chelsea um are you busy for you I always

have

time um I

uh had a question

does this woman look

familiar Jane yeah

jeane well it's been many years but yes

I'd know that smile

anywhere she was my

mother well your mother and the entire

Hollyberry ballet would stay here at the

in at Christmas she took the picture

with my father who who I never

knew is that that

you oh dear no we were friendly nothing

more what made you think it was me um I

saw you um in an old video after one of

her shows that you embraced The

Nutcracker

dance it was her final

performance she told me she made a very

difficult decision and would be leaving

hav sh that day

I was to drive it to the airport

decision did you say what it was

about just that it was the right thing

to

do do you know I mean did she say who my

father

is I'm

sorry I didn't even know that she'd

married I am I'm so sorry this is so

silly to me I'm I'm sorry for bothering

you it would be an honor to have a

daughter like you

it's almost time to get ready for the

ball show

mhm thank

[Applause]

you if we were to redirect just a small

percentage of the annual budget from

where something would have to be

sacrificed that's that's just it we

reinvest the new profits directing the

Surplus back to the budget so it is

technically a loan not a

sacrifice

wow this is remarkable you are

remarkable and I am going to leave this

with

you really wow

[Music]

Chelsea Chelsea there you go you're a

difficult one to track down I was hoping

that we could talk about last night last

night was a

mistake was it this this isn't my world

I don't belong here it wasn't a mistake

for

me you have a duty that's greater than

both of

us thank you for all of your kindness I

will never forget

it now what does that sound like a

goodbye you're going to make a wonderful

King Philip and you belong on that

Throne I've never been more sure of

anything in my entire

life and you're going to do great

tonight just um don't rush those

pivots you live with such

Joy thank you for bringing a little bit

of it into my life keep finding those

moments okay

[Music]

you signing autographs in the

marketplace apologies mother no on the

contrary they are saying you will be the

people's

King well done my

son thank you and your idea for

sponsoring additional Foster family

interest that was Chelsea's

idea was

it very happy for you my son this is a

big

Enterprises that this partnership will

[Music]

course you are

[Music]

yes

[Music]

fine he has yet to Signal the

bells he will make his choice

[Music]

go ahead make the

move it's a little risky sure but if you

wish to succeed you must Brave the risk

of

failure why aren't you at the

ball I could ask you the

same I don't belong

there oh um thank you for Lending me

this I love stories with happy

endings do you love him

what that's not

even doesn't matter how I feel and even

if

Philip he should be with someone who's

good for this country someone like

Elizabeth Elizabeth is smart but Kings

have

advisers she seems much better suited

for that

role I didn't come here to cause

trouble why did you

to find

family I I never knew my father but I

think he took this picture here in Haven

Shire but it's been over a week and I'm

no closer to finding him than I was when

I got

here silly to think that after all this

time it's probably for the best right I

mean he would have reached out by now if

you wanted

[Music]

to maybe he didn't know about

you your necklace so

familiar it's just like my

grandmother's which I gave to the love

of my life all those years

ago I couldn't believe they were one and

the

[Music]

same she never told

me she never

said it's you

[Music]

I Met Your Mother when she was here in

havenshire performing she was the most

beautiful woman I'd ever

seen she smiled at me from the stage and

I knew I was a

goner we were married on the steps of

that Museum 3 Days Later 3

days we were young and in love the

painting in the museum that's of your

grandmother

my great-grandmother you saw that did

you I I brought it to havenshire donated

it I suppose it was my secret way of

keeping that

necklace at our special place

forever why did things

end when I presented her to my parents

they did not

approve so I decided to follow my heart

renounce my title for her

when I told her she was

upset she believed we were making a

selfish

Choice said that she'd be returning to

the states and that my place was

here your mother did not want to cause

problems for

me she did not feel like she

belonged do not make the same

[Music]

mistake you better get dressed my dear

we belong where we decide we

belong we

belong where God puts us
