Okay.
Please ask the Queen to join us.
Did you finish?
Yes.
Your eyes were the hardest part.
How so?
I don't know.
There's a twinkle living in there
but surrounded by a hint of sadness.
Are you suggesting something in my life is missing?
I only paint what I see.
Meet me in the east wing reception hall tonight at 8:00.
Mr. Riverton.
Good afternoon.
I understand you've finished.
Your Highness.
I hope it's to your liking.
Oh, it's exquisite.
You have done brilliant work.
Although I, I'm sure you must be eager to get back to the States.
You're from Chicago, yes?
I am, yes.
But I'll admit I will miss Bundbury.
You must at least join us for dinner.
Your Highness, you do have an early dinner
with the Minister of Education this evening.
Of course. I nearly forgot.
My flight is early tomorrow and I still have to pack anyway,
but it would've been nice.
Ah, Camille.
Please be sure Mr. Riverton receives his compensation.
Of course, Your Highness.
Thank you.
I'll stop in to say goodbye before I leave.
It's been an honor painting you.
I've loved every moment.
Do you not want to see?
Oh.
It's beautiful.
Mm-hmm.
Though is that really how I look?
Maybe I should've smiled.
[laughs]
Well, you would be the first.
This job doesn't exactly allow for much levity.
I'm so glad we've captured this moment in time.
You in between being a young woman and the future queen.
Your father would've been so proud.
Especially if he knew all the wonderful things
you've been doing for the country as of late.
Speaking of, do I have a 2:00?
Ah. Yes.
Well then, you best get to it.
What time will we be finished having dinner?
Oh, don't worry, you'll be done by 8:00.
Good.
Also, your new Instagram post on early education
just got 10,000 likes.
Hm.
♪
You look beautiful, Amelia.
Thank you.
So, I haven't been imagining this,
this thing between us these last few weeks?
What thing would that be?
Oh.
I'm so sorry, I shouldn't have presumed that...
No.
[laughs]
You weren't imagining.
To be honest, I've never had such great conversations with anyone.
It's not like the men I meet here.
The formalities.
With you it's been easy.
Real, it's refreshing.
You don't mind that I'm not royalty?
No.
I prefer it.
I like you for you, Wes.
And I'd love to go to all the places we've talked about.
So come visit me in the States.
I would love to.
I need to see when I'm able.
My mother is stepping down next year.
You'll be queen soon, I understand.
No pressure.
Just an open invite for you to visit me
and for us to explore what this is.
Because I would love to.
♪
Is everything okay?
Yeah, sorry.
Oh. My mother.
[laughs sheepishly]
Sorry. She's always watching over.
[door opens]
I'll see you in the morning.
You have my cell, email, all that.
♪
Your Majesty.
Thank you for everything.
Safe travels.
[engine starts]
So... I assume you and Wes became acquainted during his stay.
Yes.
He's a wonderful man, Mother.
Fascinating what he does with art.
His paintings are so much more than just portraits.
He really delves into the psychology of his subjects.
Hmm.
I know portraits are far less common than they used to be,
but 'tis a tradition of the Crown.
Yes. And I thoroughly enjoyed it in spite of all the pain
from four weeks of not moving my neck.
[laughs]
A stiff neck will be the least of your worries
when you become queen.
So...
What else did you both discuss?
All the amazing places he's been.
Can you believe he's been to all 50 states?
Hmm.
Impressive.
Sounds like your father.
He was a little bit of a vagabond before we met.
We also talked about my upbringing,
my training over the years, studying to be queen.
He thought it strange I did not need to be married
to become queen.
And I told him this isn't the Dark Ages.
Well, hopefully you will meet someone before I step down.
But darling, I don't think that person is Wes.
I see.
He lives halfway around the world.
Mother, it shouldn't matter
where a person you fall in love with comes from.
Who said anything about love?
That's not what I meant.
Oh dear.
You must realize it could never work.
♪
[phone ringing]
My dear niece.
To what do I owe the pleasure?
Hello Uncle.
I hope I'm not calling too early.
Oh, no, no, no.
Us Angelinos are always up early.
Gearing up to take over the throne, I suppose?
It's coming ever closer.
Yes, we are.
But that's not why I'm calling.
Don't you have a birthday coming up?
Oh, yes.
Turning 39 yet again.
[laughs]
Any birthday wishes this year?
Well, assuming a boyfriend is too much to ask for,
how about a visit from my favorite niece?
I would love nothing more.
But can you help convince Mother?
Anything for you, dear.
Right then.
All right, Andreas.
Lovely.
See you then.
I just got off the phone with your uncle.
He suggested the Crown was well overdue for a visit to America
with a not so subtle suggestion that his birthday was coming up.
So, I told him we'd travel over.
Wonderful idea, Mother.
Hmm.
I'd forgotten how convincing he could be,
which is probably why he's such a good emissary
to the American people.
Yes.
You didn't talk him into all this, did you?
No.
No. I... I only said that I would enjoy seeing him.
Ah.
Very well, we leave for Los Angeles in two weeks.
I'll have Camille build an itinerary for our trip.
If you'd like.
Amelia...
I'm sure you were hoping to spend some time in Chicago.
But this is the role.
You have to accept it.
You can't just run off whenever and wherever you like.
Yes, Mother.
After all, it's been two months.
Yes, Mother.
Good.
♪
You wanted to see me, sir?
Yes.
My niece is going to visit LA in two weeks,
and when that happens I think we should hire
an additional security team to help out around here.
It'll probably be good to train an extra hand
to fill in for Mattias in case something happens
while I'm on my vacation as well.
Oh, right.
Your big camping trip, when do you leave?
Three weeks from next Tuesday, sir.
Perfect timing, because when they arrive
you are going to have the most important task.
Which is?
To serve and protect
Bundbury's most valuable treasure... my niece.
♪
We're going to America!
Are we going to see Wes?
Of course.
First, we'll see my uncle in LA and then I'll see Wes.
Well, how far is Chicago from LA?
Not sure.
The United States really is quite a large country, isn't it?
That's fine.
Wes will come to me.
I know it.
How are you?
Great thanks.
And you, what's new?
It's finally happening. I'm coming to America.
We arrive in two weeks.
[laughs] Well, that's wonderful.
This is what you always wanted.
It really is.
And we have a chance to be together again.
That is if you can come to Los Angeles.
[sighs]
Amelia, you know that I would love to see you
more than anything.
It's just... remember last month when I told you
I had an opening coming up soon?
I just have so much to do to get ready and I...
I don't know if it's realistic for me to take a trip right now.
I see.
But what if you came here?
You could be my plus one at the opening.
I mean after all, you did inspire my latest piece.
Well, of course, I'd love to be at your opening.
It would be an honor.
Maybe you could stop in Chicago
for a few days before you return.
Sounds like it would be perfect timing.
I'll see what I can do.
You have to wear this.
Ugh, the one from my portrait.
It's far too regal.
You are regal.
You're going to be queen. Take it.
I never see you wear these.
Yes. They're a gift from the French Ambassador.
They're quite expensive.
Well, you should have some jewelry for formal events.
You're being quite pushy.
I'm much more worried about what I'm going to wear
to Wes's art opening.
If you go.
When I go.
And how do you plan to do that?
Every moment will be scheduled.
Where there is a purpose there is a path.
This one.
It's perfect for an art opening, don't you think?
America, here we come.
Oh.
♪
Oh, I'll take your passports for safekeeping.
Mother, we're grown women.
We're not going to misplace them.
It's not that.
Your uncle secures them in a safe.
It's protocol.
- Oh. - Thank you.
Protocol.
Little brother, how I've missed you.
My dear sister.
And look at this young woman.
I hear you've been doing wonderful things.
Thank you, Uncle. So good to see you.
Pleasure's all mine. Please, in, in, in.
Camille, how are you?
Lovely. And you, dashing as ever.
Ah, to be young and beautiful as yourself.
Apologies, it hasn't rained like this since 1927 in Los Angeles.
I'd like to introduce you to my head of security, Grady Beck.
Nice to meet you all. Welcome.
Amelia, Grady will tend to you during your stay.
Tend to me during my stay?
As your personal security.
Do I need that?
If you'd like to go see the Hollywood sign
or any of the other sights, you might.
May I take your luggage upstairs to your room?
No, thank you. I can take it.
And just to be clear, I don't need a bodyguard.
Amelia... give Grady a chance.
He knows the town like the back of his hand.
He'll take you anywhere you want to go.
This is Los Angeles, dear.
Like any big city it can be dangerous.
Absolutely. We have round the clock security here,
even in Beverly Hills.
We want you well taken care of. And Grady is the best.
I doubt anyone here even knows who we are.
Actually, I knew who both of you were
from your social media presence
even before I began working for the ambassador.
Well, Camille handles all that.
I don't really pay much attention.
Others do.
And I assure you they'll recognize you as well.
Tea?
Let's get the kettle on.
This way.
♪
So.
What are the big birthday plans?
Well, tomorrow we're going to host a little party
on the grounds and I'll introduce you
to my crazy American friends.
Ah, Camille.
Could you get us a full itinerary for Amelia and myself
including any lunches, charity auctions,
diplomatic and consular events, dinner plans,
and any one-on-one meetings we have scheduled with the various
dignitaries Andreas would like us to meet?
I'll have those for you at 9:00 AM tomorrow.
Lovely.
And I'm assuming that Grady will be accompanying Amelia?
Yes, absolutely.
As I said, won't a bodyguard
following me around stir up more attention?
Oh, touring this city alone would not only be irresponsible
but also reckless.
Right. I'll take Camille with me.
I see not much has changed with you, my dear niece.
Do you remember when she was seven years old
and there was a tour of American children came through the castle
and she tried to sneak out with them?
I was homeschooled every day. What do you expect?
And didn't you try to steal your mother's horse
when you were 13?
Hmm, she did indeed.
She took it down to the beach
and tried to escape on a little dinghy.
It was a bleak and depressing winter that year.
Vitamin D deficiency is a real thing okay?
[laughs]
You really blossomed into an incredible young woman, Amelia.
Thank you, Uncle.
Hopefully with a bit more culture
and worldly experience of my own before Mother steps down
I will be properly equipped to wear the Crown.
Hear, hear.
Indeed you will.
Do you need anything before I go to bed?
I'm good thanks.
Maybe I should just book a ticket and fly up there
this weekend for the opening.
Your mother still has our passports
and those are pretty essential
for getting on a commercial flight these days.
Especially if you don't have any other ID because you're royalty.
Also, your uncle was right.
It's not safe for you to go alone.
All right.
You can come with me.
Absolutely not.
I've been there before and I am not dealing with
the wrath of the Queen again.
Oh, come on. That was a long time ago.
Can't I still have nightmares?
Fine. I'll make plans of my own.
Or you could just tell Wes
about the restraints you're under.
Perhaps if he understood
he'd make more of an effort to come out here.
Anyway, I'm going to bed.
Good night.
[door closes]
Or maybe I just need to think more creatively
abouout how to escape.
Wes, hi.
I'm just calling to let you know that I'm working it out
to actually drive up to Chicago to see you
first thing tomorrow morning.
So, um, call me back when you can.
Okay.
Bye.
Morning.
[gasps]
You again.
Were you eavesdropping on my phone call just now?
Nope.
Just cleaning up the SUV in case we decide to take it out.
I guess it's safe to assume
you're going to follow me around the party tonight as well then.
Not following.
Keeping an eye out.
Okay.
You're worried one of my uncle's socialite friends
is going to kidnap the princess for ransom?
Well that is on the end of extreme.
But you know what? It is my job to be prepared.
Hmm.
Well, my uncle must really trust you
to give you such responsibility.
He does.
Fine.
Great.
I've got to-
I've left something that I was going to get.
Inside.
Watch out for that.
Thank you.
♪
You look stunning.
Thank you.
And the clutch is pretty too.
Well, I need a place to stash the bodyguard's keys
when I take them.
What?

I've never had anyone in my shadow.

What are you doing?
This is my car. What are you doing?
I, was just-
I found your keys on the floor of the party last night
and I was going to leave them in the vehicle.
[sighs]
Well, that certainly explains the suitcase.
Look, I need to get to Chicago all right?
There is a man there that I have feelings for
and this might be my only chance I get to see him.
And you felt the need to steal a car to do that.
Oh, come on. You've met my mother.
Why not just fly? It'd be a lot faster you know.
She has my passport.
Plus, I have no money of my own.
And driving across the US sounds like fun.
Something I've always wanted to do.
You know I can't let you go, right?
It is way too dangerous.
Not sure you're a capable driver.
Drive me there then.
[laughs]
That's not, that's not happening.
Plus, I already told your uncle.
You what?
He would've killed me if I hadn't.
Plus, I happen to like my job. So yeah, yeah, I told him.
Amelia. What are you doing?
I'm just borrowing your car to go see the artist
you recommended.
The one who painted my portrait. The one from Chicago.
Wes Riverton. Oh, my.
We spent a month getting to know each other.
I need to see him to see if it's real.
Amelia, your mother would never let you
traipse off without security.
Mother would never let me go at all.
But you would.
Is that the real reason you came to the States?
To see Wes?
I'm sorry Uncle.
I didn't know another way.
You know, I initially came here
following my heart over a man as well.
You must go.
- Really? - Yes.
[laughs] Thank you, thank you.
Thank you so much.
What about Mother?
Well you're a grown woman.
You deserve a big adventure before you assume your duties.
I'll take the heat.
Thank you, Uncle.
I love you.
And I you.
Grady, get your things.
Sir, um...

My camping trip up the coast.
I was supposed to leave on Tuesday?
Yes. Well, you can take it after.
Driving to Chicago is a very, very long trip.

What do you mean?
We are bound to hit traffic, probably construction.
Not to mention the breaks we'll need along the way.

You're quite the optimist, hmm?
Sorry.
Turns out I don't like being pulled away
from my days off to play cross-country chauffeur.
Well, you're not just driving.
You're here to protect me, right?
I thought you didn't need protection.
And I thought you were always supposed to do
what was asked of you.
[phone dings]
Ugh. Mother is already texting me.
What are you going to tell her?
I'm just going to send her this photo
I took of the Hollywood sign
on our way out so she still thinks I'm local.
So, how long do you think it's going to take us realistically
to get there?
[exhales]
Realistically?
Um, Monday night?
Wes's opening isn't till Wednesday
so it gives us plenty of time.
All right then. We've got a plan.
Just a lot further to go.
Can we eat soon? I'm a bit hungry.
I'll just pull right over. In the desert.
Okay.

Never going to find something out here

Alright. Turns out there was a place out here
in the middle of nowhere.
[bell dings]
What? Still afraid someone's going to kidnap me?
Well, I guess, if they did I could finally go
on my camping trip.
This is so strange.
They serve breakfast here all day.
Why?
Some people like breakfast.
Even for lunch or dinner.
Fascinating.
I'm going to order something I'm never able to at home.
So why is it that you've never been to the States before?
My father actually scheduled
a tour across America for the two of us
but passed away unexpectedly before we got to do it.
I'm sorry to hear that.
He said when he travelled across America
he didn't just learn about the country,
he learned about himself.
Is that what this whole trip is about?
Your dad?
Well, him and I realized with mother stepping down
I needed to travel now or seeing Wes again might never happen.
So, you're in love with this guy.
I never said I was in love.
Only that I see potential for it.
Good.
It's impossible to fall in love that fast.
You don't believe in love at first sight?
[laughs]
I especially don't believe in love at first sight.
Oh, it takes years to build true love.
And even then it might not be as true as you think.
Look, it's a two-way street.
I mean like,
why isn't this guy meeting you at least halfway, huh?
I offered to go there.
And he's got this art opening
he's trying to finish pieces for that.
And you never thought to, I don't know,
make him work to win your love?
I'm not into playing games, Grady.
I didn't say anything about games, Amelia.
What can I get for y'all?
Y'all. That's adorable.
I think I'll have some of your loaded fries please,
and I'm also interested in some of these custom add-ons.
I'll add on bacon bits, onions, sour cream,
some of the melted American cheese please.
And some jalapeños and extra salsa side.
I like it spicy.
[bewildered] Anything else?
A vanilla shake sounds delicious.
American breakfast with fruit please.
- Gotcha. - Gotcha.
[laughs]
American breakfast, wow. I love the sound of that.

It's uh, it's basically minced pickle.
It's very exotic.
Mm.
Well, I appreciate the minced pickle approach
and all the other add-ons you got from the market.
You don't, uh-
Usually they don't call them add-ons, they're called fixins.
Fixings.
Well, I'm in fixings bliss.
- Fixins. - Fixins.
There you go. Yeah.
[laughs]
I mean, they're not usually this good at a Dodgers game
or a movie theatre, but they're close.
Two more things to add to my must-do list.
Why are you so in love with our country anyway?
My father fell in love with American movies,
and growing up we'd watch all the classics from John Wayne
to Marilyn Monroe.
Katherine Hepburn is actually my favorite.
The man taught you well.
He did.
I think he saw movies as his escape.
His role as my mother's regent was quite restrictive.
There you go. Second course.
So, you just want to hold it near the fire
until it's as golden as you like.
Okay. Right in.
Right in. There you go.
Did you ever think about studying in the States?
Yes, I actually wanted to attend this dance academy
in New York.
My mother refused.
She said it didn't fit into my obligations, so.
I've never really fit into the mold my mother's made for me.
Oops! Oh, fire.

What do I do?
Blow it out.
Well-handled.

Never figured it'd be tough being royalty.
My father actually encouraged me
to live the life I always imagined.
And on his deathbed, I... I promised I would.
You're different than I originally assumed.
Not nearly as spoiled.
So, what about you?
My dad owned a struggling ranching and saddle company
when I was growing up.
Just took off as I graduated high school.
Work made him hard.
And I told myself when I was a kid
that wasn't going to happen to me.
Does your dad still have this ranch?
Yeah, he does.
We haven't talked in a while though.
He wasn't exactly thrilled when I decided to move out
and not stick around to help out with the family business.
Maybe you should call him. Sounds like you miss him.
Maybe.
I'm going to stop you right there.
What you're doing is hurting me on a metaphysical level.
Here you want to.
Let me just spread it because I don't have a knife.
[laughs]
Here, you want to sandwich the marshmallow in between.
There, there. That's it.
That's, that's good form, see?

Now enjoy.
All right. I just go for it?
Just go for it. That's all you've got to do, see?
Just squish that little fellow down.

I really wanted to go to the dance after my shift,
but I forgot my dress back at home
and I can't go looking like this.
And now the boy I like, Bryson
definitely isn't going to ask me to dance.
I don't even see a point in going now.
Listen. I happen to believe
if Bryson wants to ask you to the dance,
he's not going to care what you're wearing.

Where are you from?
Ah, not from here.

Hello. Becca, this is Grady, my friend.
- Hi. - Hey.
Becca was just borrowing a little something of mine.
Here.
I know I said borrow, but this is all yours.
Please, take it.
It's so pretty.
I couldn't possibly take it.
It will look even prettier on you.
And if anything is going to win Bryson over
besides your wonderful heart, it will be you in this dress.
