Gentle music plays as the scene shows a surreal view of micro-organisms, being viewed under
a magnifying glass by a pretty girl, before she is surprised from behind by what seems
to be her coworkers, who have a cake with a candle ready for the girl, thanking her
for her help this summer and wishing her good luck for her school year.
The short-haired girl takes her truck and drives it across Wisconsin.
The scene suddenly changes to Denmark, where a black car parks and the classy driver opens
the door for a dashing young man, who smiles at a group of people who have been waiting
for him, and teases his friend about beating him in his mommy’s car.
The girl back in Wisconsin comes home in a hurry, where her mom asks her how her job
went and she told her some things.
Again in Denmark, the two boys have a race on the busy roads as the police hold the civilians
back, while the short-haired girl drives her truck around a tractor, late for her schedule
because she keeps checking time.
She finally arrives at her appointment, which is apparently a wedding!
She almost crashes into the bride and groom as she fumbles out of her car, meekly complimenting
the bride’s dress, as she changes her shoes to more formal ones in front of them.
Meanwhile, the crown prince of Denmark who is racing against his friend loses, but as
he gets out of the car, gets flocked by two beautiful girls who take turns kissing him.
What he does not realize is that there are reporters taking pictures of him.
Paige, the main girl sits at the wedding with her friend and talks about how they should
be following their dreams and seeing the world instead of getting married, she is the only
single one out of all her friends now.
She watches with boredom as her friend grabs the flowers the bride throws.
Inside the balance in Denmark, the crown prince, Edward’s parents wait for him to arrive
and he walks in, wearing fancy, prince-like clothes, and walks inside with his family
as they are announced.
Paige arrives in her dorm room, and gets hugged by her roommate, who seems really happy that
she is here.
Paige claims she will be busy to even be in her room, because she has a job and classes
and several other activities.
But her friend tells her to relax, and takes Paige with her and her new friends to a bar.
The girls are served beer by a chubby man who also knows Paige, and she starts talking
about her future and work, and her friend makes her take a shot of alcohol.
Prince Edward is taken to a conference room where people are talking business.
However, the young prince does not seem to be interested and doodles in his business
file while eyeing an older, blonde woman among the people.
When he is asked what he thinks about the matter at hand, he asks what the question
was again, obviously not having been listening.
He rushes out and into his room, grumbling about how his mother will scold him about
what happened today.
He speaks mindlessly to his butlers about wanting to go out of Denmark to clear his
head.
As Edward is watching TV, he comes across a TV show, where girls in Wisconsin are shown
to be inappropriate and vulgar, just what Edward likes.
He talks to his parents about going there, and lies about wanting to study in a prestigious
university with great extracurricular activities.
His mother does not believe him though, she claims this is just another one of his escapades
that will result in him being in the tabloids, but Edward gets up angrily and tells her that
he does not need anyone’s permission or money to do this.
He rushes out the door.
His father tells his wife to let him go, because apparently nothing else has worked on him.
However, they do appoint a poor butler to go with him.
Once they have landed in Wisconsin, Edward tells the butler not to refer to him as a
prince, but to call him Eddie.
Eddie eyes many girls walking by, imagining them taking their tops off.
Eddie and his butler, Soren arrive at the dormitory and into their room, which is littered
with trash in every corner.
Soren is repulsed but Edward says it is fine.
Their other roommate comes into the room, he is a big, obese-looking kid who keeps munching
on junk food.
He barks restrictions on his food and Xbox and puts his headphones on.
The two newbies from Denmark, dressed as college boys go down to the cafeteria, where Edward
smiles about enjoying the high American life like this.
They sit at a littered table and Eddie calls the waitress, who is actually Paige.
She tells him she works at the bar and is not a waitress, and that he will need to come
to the counter if he wants to order drinks.
Soren offers to go, and as they drink, Eddie keeps eyeing Paige at the counter.
He walks up to her, striking a small conversation with her, before the vulgar prince of Denmark
tells her to take her top off for him.
Hearing this, Paige shoots a sprinkle of beer at the pervert.
The guards come to take the foreigners away.
The next day, Paige is seated in her science class, when Eddie barges in with Soren behind
him.
His professor tells him not to be late again, and since Soren is not enrolled in the school,
he is told by the prince to wait outside.
Eddie takes the only available seat, which is apparently right next to the girl he was
inappropriate with, and the professor tells everyone that the one seated beside each other
will be permanent lab partners, making Paige worried.
After class, she hands Eddie his supply list that he forgot inside the classroom, and then
tells him not to get in her way in this class, because she really needs to be on this teacher’s
good side to get to med school.
Eddie apologizes for last night, saying he was only having a little fun, but Paige snickers
at his insincere apology, walking away.
He stops her by formally giving out an apology, which seems too proper to the American girl,
as she turns to Soren and asks if the dude is drunk.
He says he was acting out Shakespeare, making Paige leave immediately.
Paige sits in her dorm and rambles on about how she does not like the guy, although her
friend says he is really good-looking, but Paige does not seem to care.
However, as she continues writing her application, she keeps thinking about how insufferable
he is.
The next day in lab, Eddie does not show up and Paige fails at her experiment, because
her partner was not there.
She barges into Eddie’s dorm room after class to scold him, and sees Soren making
luxurious breakfast for the secret young prince, who just missed his class.
She denies Soren’s offer for her to join, and angrily tells Eddie to be there at their
next class, prepared.
Eddie realizes that he is out of money, since he is cut off from his family, and he goes
to the place Paige works at, lying about having her recommendation, and gets the job.
When she sees him there, she asks if he wants to make her life hell, he does not even know
how to make a turkey sandwich!
Eddie apologizes to the righteous girl, saying he really needs the money.
She then teaches him how to work the turkey cutter, and he stares at her face which is
pretty close to his.
At the end of the day, the workers at the college bar clean up, including Paige and
Eddie, while Soren sleeps.
Paige plays a song on the jukebox and takes her shoes off as she dances while cleaning,
while Eddie watches her, interested.
Eddie is called to clean up outside, and as Paige watches him while she is leaving, she
calls out and tells him he did well today.
The royalty, who seems to be getting attracted to her, asks her to accompany him to a dorm
party, but Paige refuses, saying she is busy.
Soren comes up behind him and tells him of the obvious, that he just got rejected.
Back in Denmark, Edward's little sister walks in the hallway, and overhears her parents
talking about medical tests, and asks her dad if he is sick.
She runs and sits on his lap, as people around tell her not to worry.
She is then taken away by a babysitter.
At her college, Paige checks her grade, which is a C minus!!!
It's from her English literature class.
She attends her science class, and sheepishly talks to Eddie about how she is struggling
in English literature.
She asks if he can help her, but then changes her mind twice.
He says he will help her, but that he also needs her help.
They stand near the laundry and she teaches him how to do it.
Where the clothes go.
He then helps her read literature sentences.
To her, it's all gibberish, but he explains what a sun could mean, in a deeper meaning.
She reads the sentence again, and this time, she understands.
Back in Denmark, some of the reporters get bored of the same old boring pictures of old
men, and wonder where Edward is.
Paige goes to see Eddie, and shows him that she aced in English literature.
She asks him for his grade too, and he got a good grade as well.
While he is talking to her, he accidentally spills oil all over the floor.
Her friend asks him what he is doing for thanksgiving, since usually, they all tend to go to their
families.
But Paige does not take this chance to ask him, and later on, her friend asks if she
can be the one to ask, if he wants to go to her house for the holiday.
But Paige interrupts her friend, and quickly invites him to her home.
Eddie says yes and thanks her.
As Eddie packs his bags, he tells Soren not to go with him, telling the butler he will
be okay on his own.
The two of them go to Paige's home, and Eddie is introduced to her parents and brothers.
Inside, she shows him to her room, and he sees a big map with red and green pins.
Paige tells him that the red pins are where she has been, and the green pins are where
she wants to go.
Because Doctors without Borders go to these areas to provide medication and safe water.
Eddie stares at her, and tells her that she is intimidating.
She then asks him what he wants to do, but he tells her that he has no choice but to
take over the family business.
As they both sit on the bed, and stare at each other, happily, Paige’s father interrupts
them, making Eddie stand up quickly.
He’s come to tell them that they have a room ready for the boy.
He also reminds him that they sleep with the doors open.
Her father offers to teach the boy how things work around here, and Paige is reluctant about
the idea, but Eddie is interested.
Turns out, he is led into the farm, where he runs midst cows, toppling over and landing
on the muddy ground.
He is also told to milk the cows, and plow the ground.
At their garage, Eddie sees tractors that have turned into cars.
Paige’s brothers tell him that racing with those is like a sport around here, and Eddie
tells them he can make the cars go faster, of course, the brothers do not believe him.
At the lunch table, they finally ask what is going on between Eddie and Paige, because
apparently, he is too good-looking for her, but they soon warm up to him.
At the lawn mower race, Eddie helps speed up the family vehicle, as Paige and her mom
sit on the bleachers, her mom says she likes Eddie, but Paige says she cannot afford distractions.
It is finally time for them to race, and surprisingly, Eddie takes the lead against the yearly winner!
As his competitor tries to bump into him to make him fall, it backfires and Eddie wins
the race!
As they are celebrating, he comes and punches the prince on the face, but before there is
a full-blown fight, Paige’s brothers attack the loser and Eddie joins in as they beat
him up.
At night, he and Paige go back to the garage, and Paige bandages his face where he got hurt.
She apologizes for the fact that people think they are a couple, and hearing this makes
Eddie stare at her.
They end up kissing!
He suddenly pulls away as if there is something wrong, but he assures her there isn't, and
kisses her more.
When Eddie goes back to the dorm, he is surprised to see Soren playing Xbox!
Eddie and Paige study together at the library, but he keeps staring at her.
She laughs at that and tells him to study seriously for the finals.
Paige’s friend watches them from across the table.
Eddie moves his hand and holds Paige’s hand, making her smile.
He then takes it below the table and rests it on his knee, he then plays with her palm,
making her snap at him cheekily, saying she has read the same sentence twice.
Not able to take it anymore, she takes him to the back of the library where they kiss
and she takes his shirt off.
They are suddenly interrupted by the reporters from Denmark, as they take pictures of both
of them!
The couple makes a run for it outside, where Eddie confesses that he is a prince.
Paige, unable to believe it, feels betrayed, saying he never loved her and goes away.
The next days, Eddie attends class while being flocked by the paparazzi.
And one day, he gets a call from his mother, telling him he has to come home because his
father is sick.
At her last English presentation, while she is talking, she realizes that she loves Eddie
and does not want to let him go.
She rushes to his room, where she finds out that he has already left.
When she returns to her room, she sees the prize Eddie won and a note that reads a poem.
Seeing it, she rushes to pack her bags.
Her friend realizes that she is in love.
And all of them help her fly to Denmark!
Once there, she stands among the crowd gathered while the royal family passes by.
She calls out to her lover several times, and he finally sees her when the crowd recognizes
her and calls her name.
Seeing her, the young prince smiles wide and rides on his horse to her, looking like a
real-life prince; which he is.
He takes her with him to a court hearing and asks her to stand close to him as he announces
the session, and then leaves once again with her.
Then, he takes her to the royal palace, with Paige being very nervous because she has to
meet his parents.
He arrives and Soren hugs her.
Edward leaves for a moment and asks Soren to accompany her.
He shows her around the huge castle.
Edward talks to his parents about loving a commoner girl, and his mother will not hear
any of it, calling Paige a gold digger, but soon, his father gets up, and on his own authority,
he allows Eddie to marry whoever he wants to.
Hearing the good news, Eddie goes to where Paige and Soren are.
She hugs him as soon as she sees him, and he tells her of his father’s illness, and
the fact that he is about to become the next great king!
Much to everyone's surprise, he gets down on one knee, and asks her to marry him, he
says he knows she will have to make sacrifices, but he loves her.
She says yes immediately, as he slips a beautiful ring onto her finger.
The next day, as the young American girl wakes up, she sees a beautifully made ceiling above
her.
Suddenly, two maids enter her room, bringing the girl coffee, even though she says she
can get it herself if she knows where the kitchen is.
Edward’s little sister also barges in, exclaiming how romantic it is that she is marrying a
royal prince.
Soren comes into the room, and tells her of her entire schedule for the day.
For such a common girl like Paige, it is weird hearing that she has a schedule.
She follows it throughout the day, accompanying Edward and the royal family.
Her time is spent dressing up, going outside to be the future queen, and being with Eddie.
She is fitted into a really pretty dress, and taken to have dinner with the royals,
all while Edward's mom eyes her uncertainly.
At the opening of a hospital, the reporters care more about where Paige is, rather than
the opening of a prestigious hospital.
Paige, who is in a room with children, playing with them, is reported.
Later, Eddie’s mom calls her to a room, where Paige is scolded for straying the news
from an important topic to a lesser one, and Paige apologizes, saying she is trying her
best!
The woman tells her to sacrifice herself if she wants to live as a queen, and Paige says
shes just herself, from Wisconsin, but the older, authoritative woman tells her that
there can be no Paige Morgan here.
Hearing this, Paige stares at the woman in disbelief.
Later, Paige visits Edward, who is with his sick father, and stares at him.
I think she might be realizing something.
Eddie goes to an important meeting, while Paige and his mother sit at the top of the
room, watching the meeting.
While they are discussing something of much importance that needs fixing in the next six
hours, Edward handles the situation perfectly, remembering the time he spent with Paige’s
family, where her father told him that they are all interdependent.
He seems to have taken a lesson from that, and was able to fix the issues at hand with
the knowledge and intellect he possesses.
Paige marvels at his intelligence, as she is fitted into yet another tight dress.
Soren comes in, and tells the young girl that the queen would like to see her.
They rush to her room, while Soren tells her he will be there with her the whole time.
But as they arrive at the room, the queen tells him to leave and he does so, immediately.
Inside, she tells Paige that she does not like change, however, she goes on saying that
if the change is positive, if it helps change a boy into a man, then she can welcome it.
Two weeks ago, the queen thought Paige was the end of the monarchy, but seeing her son,
made her realize that Paige might be the best thing that has happened to them.
In awe, Paige can only muster up a pathetic ‘thank you’ and there is an awkward silence,
which the uptight queen breaks, saying now that that is settled, they have to make Paige
the best queen the nation has ever known.
The queen leads her to a room inside the basement, the hidden room is opened to reveal several
jewels, the crown, and beautiful ornaments.
The queen asks what the girl would like to wear to the coronation ball, and has her try
on several pieces of jewelry, until they decide which one is best for her.
At the ball, Edward sees Paige dressed up so prettily, and excuses himself to go see
her.
He walks up to her and asks her for a dance, and she agrees.
He says he hopes she does not mind, but he has requested their song.
Paige is confused about them having a song, but soon she smiles wide, realizing they have
their own song!
The couple dances slowly to the music, as others also join in, including Eddie's parents,
who hold each other’s hand quietly.
Edward tells her to go with him, out of the party.
They do so in a hurry, and kiss once they are in a room.
But there are still guards by the door and Paige asks to go somewhere more private.
They speed walk to the pool table, a dimly lit room, perfect for kissing.
As they are doing so, Soren interrupts, telling him that his meeting with another king is
due.
Eddie leaves for the meeting after kissing her, and telling her that he has a surprise
for her when he gets back.
As he sits with his father and another king to talk about some important matters, Paige
watches him, but she is blocked out from hearing the conversation by Soren, who closes the
door on her face.
Alone in the room now, she looks around, coming across a world globe.
She stares, remembering all the places she wanted to go to help the poor.
She remembers her dreams of getting accepted into John Hopkin’s med school, and just
then, Edward comes back.
He takes her to see the surprise, which is a turkey cutting machine and as he makes her
a sandwich, he fails to notice the expression of the unsure girl.
She tells him she sees how proud his father is of him, and she tells him it has been extraordinary,
but she cannot do it anymore.
Hearing this, he looks back, baffled and confused at her words.
She says again that she cannot stay.
Paige tells him that she is still Paige, and she has dreams that she cannot throw away.
In a broken voice, he asks what about them?
And she says that he belongs here with his family and crown, but she does not.
He then asks if they will see each other again, but Paige tears up, saying she does not know.
He walks closer to her, stating that he cannot make her stay no matter how much he tries.
They both have tears in their eyes as they hug.
The next scene is Edward being given the crown through a ceremony.
His mother watches as his father takes his crown off and it is put on Edward’s head,
fitting like a dream.
It seems he was made for this position, but his face is solemn, he has just lost his love,
while bearing the responsibility of the whole nation.
He then is taken to the balcony, where he is introduced as king to the general public,
who cheer loudly for him.
He gives his speech, talking about an end and a beginning.
Paige watches him with a smile on her face, and then walks away from the crowd as he delivers
a beautiful speech.
She flies back to her country, a solemn look on her face as well.
Paige goes back to her farm, where her family is, and her mother hugs her tight.
The next scene shows Soren letting a butterfly free, to fly high up in the sky as it goes
to where Paige is, now graduating!
In her graduation gown, she gets congratulated by her friends and family, when she hears
Eddie’s voice from behind, as he recites a poem.
She walks up to him, and he tells her that he will wait for her, as long as he needs
to, for her to finish med school, or be a doctor.
Paige tells him that Denmark would not be ready for a queen like her, but he retorts,
saying that he is, and she happily kisses him.
