Colin is a prince of a far off European state, currently in USA (Idaho) and causing some minor scandals because of his impulsive behaviour (innocent juvenile stuff) mostly tacit rebellion at having to observe "royal protocol". His chaperone, Penelope, is forced to hire a public relations company to repair his damaged reputation. The boss in the selected company is Deirdre Kelly, who is truck with chicken pox around the time she is due to first meet the prince. She sends her assistant Amanda Cooper instead, who when challenged just goes along with the assumption that she is Deirdre Kelly. To cut a long story short, Colin and Amanda fall for each other. Amanda does a sterling job in turning Colin into a much more responsible person. However when he finds out that she is not who she said she was he is annoyed and returns to Europe. Meanwhile Deirdre is enraged that Amanda impersonated her and decides to fire her.

The best parts

• After Colin returns to Europe to celebrate his mothers jubilee and announce his engagement to a royal fiancé that had been pre-arranged, he becomes quite despondent and resigned to the shackles of his royal post. Penelope has a chat with him during which she says something like "the integrity of your decisions should not buckle under the weight of your responsibilities, but be reinforced by your authority". This restores the zest in him that Amanda had unearthed and he resolves to only marry for love. Soon after he breaks the news to his fiancé, on the evening of their engagement announcement.
• The Queen, rather than being annoyed at the "trouble" Colin's decision will cause is gracious and accepts what her son wants, reassuring him that she believes in him.
• Deirdre, Amanda's boss, reviews the work that Amanda had done and acknowledges that it was excellent. She backs down from her decision to fire Amanda. More than that, she recognises that there was something between Amanda and Colin and she sends Amanda to the Queen's jubilee party instead of going herself, in Europe, all expenses paid, including a new banquet dress. You can guess the rest.

Another film in which it's worth waiting for the ending even if the whole story is a bit "twee" according to some. However, I believe all leaders who lack integrity should be made to watch this, just to see the graciousness of the Queen and Deirdre, and to hear those very important words from Penelope!
