Prince Adrian of tiny (fictitious) kingdom Calpurnia is about to be crowned king, succeeding to his late father, ending the regency of bossy, old-fashioned queen-mother Beatrice. On one of his regular incognito motorbike rides in the capital, he literally bumps into American tourist Maggie Marks, recently graduated and reluctantly looking forward to a career in corporate law. Her accompanying friend pushes her to end a life without dating and enjoy charming Adrian's hospitality blossoming towards a relationship, before and after they find out he's the heir to the throne. The entire aristocracy is against a commoner intruding, as they oppose Adrian's desire to make his crowning the first in public, and Beatrice resorts to dirty tricks, but Cupid finds a way, aided by Adrian's devoted footman Felix.—KGF Vissers
