C: They are showing the Prince and Me on TV!
May: *grumble, grumble*
C: I know you don't want to see it, but why don't you give it a try? Maybe it's not as bad as you think it'll be. It's a sweet romantic comedy, you like those.
May: hrmmmmpppffff. Okay, I guess I can't complain about it without actually having seen it.
C: Gooooood girl
May: One would think that they would at least have looked into the Danish Government form.

Hehehehehehe... that sounds like a reaction I might have had. I haven't seen it myself and I've only been interested so far out of morbid curiosity. It's a bit like all those princess films that Disney makes. (There's no such thing as a ruling princess, Disney. It doesn't exist. A ruling princess is called a queen, and for an heir apparent to take over the throne, it usually involves the DEATH of the previous ruler, not just that they happen to turn 16. Also, if they're not of age they will be appointed someone who rules in their name until they come of age. And NO throne is EVER left empty while waiting for the princess in question to become old enough, omg! And while that may not have the same attraction on American tweens, it's none the less the way royal hierachies work. Why not teach them a bit of truth? /rant)

But you KNOW that pwincess sounds better than queen! Also Disney is not keen on killing characters, just look at the little mermaid. ;)
