A Christmas Prince

In A CHRISTMAS PRINCE, the European kingdom of Aldovia, still mourning the death of its beloved king, is expecting an important decision from their young heir-in-waiting. Will Prince Richard (Ben Lamb) assume his father's throne, or will he choose to remain the playboy and ne'er-do-well he seems to be? Richard's decision is to be announced at the annual Christmas Eve ball. Amber (Rose McIver), a fledgling American magazine journalist who has never covered such an event on her own, is overjoyed when she's assigned the Aldovian story. Unfortunately, when Amber arrives at the palace, she learns that reporters have been banned from the proceedings. Only a chance case of mistaken identity gets Amber into the family's chambers. Substituting a little deceit for honesty, Amber takes advantage of the housekeeper's assumption that she is the new tutor to Richard's little sister, Princess Emily (Honor Kneafsky). Very quickly, Richard and Amber connect, but are wary of one another. But they soon find much in common, especially their concern for Emily, who is wheelchair-bound. It takes an old girlfriend, a scheming would-be successor to the throne, and Richard's discovery that Amber isn't exactly who she says she is, to complicate the story before bringing it to its anticipated conclusion.
