At length I remembered the last resort of a great princess who, when told that the peasants had no bread, replied: "Then let them drink cocoa." - Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Confessions

Under the Christmas tree, I bet.

Duh, in the hedge maze

Aldovia is a Baltic State that was colonized by the British in the 19th century. The ruling family brought over British families and appropriated land from the native slavs, after which they began a Christmas Genocide, working them to death in the Christmas Mines, collecting tin to make Christmas ornaments for the world. The field they always ride through is the site of the mass graves of the native population.

Kenneth Elliott Liked for ‘Christmas Genocide’

On a serious note, it's just what's familiar to yankees. English royals are on international news regularly as opposed to royals from Scandinavia/Spain/Belgium/Netherlands/Monaco/wherever who hardly ever do, or Saudi monarchs who only get on tv after extrajudicial executions or egregious war crimes. And latin-ish names are what you get when you try to come up with a foreign-sounding european-ish name ending in -ia

Who cares? Everyone knows the best fictional European nation is Latveria.

Kenneth Elliott The mass *Christmas graves

Like Ready Player One? Is Jenny the queen of Aldovia now?

I would if it was me

Once again Jenny ruins a story about a secret acorn ornament with adoption info by asking logical questions. Jenny Downer.

The CPCU

I like to think it was the costume designer/stylist subverting the movie with their subtle color themes that they thought would just be an 'in' joke among their friends, lol

And Aldovia doesn't have a subway, apparently. All of these lands, not one subway.

I don’t even know if you’re being serious but I’m choosing to believe this because it’s amazing

I checked the map, they're telling the truth. My theory: Britain conquered the Balkans in an alternate Napoleonic Wars and the resulting territory seceded, and Aldovia was born.

why would you say constantinople/istanbul...the official name has been Istanbul since the 1900s

@@aonairskies Gonna guess because it's an alternate universe where Aldovia consumed these regions before 1930, when Constantinople changed its name to Istanbul in our universe?

Lol.

Pity his wife only found one of the ornaments, maybe he actually did get better at keeping secrets

thats kinda shit id do on my death honestly lol

I just imagine there is like hundred of ornaments amending the constitution for random people to rule. Like "We found another ornament the chef that retired 3 years ago is fifth in line now"

@@jdbeier8520 Find two ornaments at once, one says "The princess IS the heir to the throne" and the other says "The princess IS NOT the heir to the throne" and they have to figure out which is more recent

Who's also a tradesman

Will she dislike him at first but come to value his honest homespun wisdom whilst her pretensions are flustered comically by the aforementioned dog?

He dreams about opening his own bakery.

And she will eventually set up a side business once her kid starts school selling home made dog accessories like coats in funky patterns

Then meets the porg of her dreams and but the twist is he sadist. But thats ok, because she realizes is is a submissive. I see Disney..er..Tombstone producing.

What about their candy canes?

They have a cinematic universe to win.

Freedom from our bonds, brothers!

Don't be so sure - violent revolutions have a way of making things even worse in the long run. Remember Russia?

@@cityman2312 Yeah, remember how they beat the Nazis? How fucked up was that.

He looks like if a loaf of white bread came to life

@ThatWeirdo04 fucking lmao

Gotta give them this - he does look like British royalty in that regard.

The first problem was they named him Richard

He looks like a Wonderbread loaf.

she was executed soon after

Maybe she vented away

Her plane tragically disappeared over the Arctic Ocean but it was covered up by the Aldovian secret service

mandarinduck And it’s also incredibly par-for-the-course for any actual member of the monarchy.

mandarinduck reminds me of Trump feeding that sports team McDonald’s.

Or taking a princess to a Pizza Express for her birthday.

mandarinduck that’s tacky.

@@theoneandonlymichaelmccormick Exactly. The British monarchy, when not performing actual duties, traditionally have almost plebian tastes and habits.

I love the hat.

Maybe she'll have to take a business trip to her home city and fall in love with a handsome down-to-earth single father who's the perfect opposite of her current slimy cheating big city boyfriend.

@@yoinketd I'd love to see a romcom where he's starring!

**She looks like the best friend of a protagonist in a 2000's rom com

She's even wearing a pandora bracelet that's dedication.

Universal basic income by way of a loophole, he really is the Christmas KING

I really hope this means he'll run out of money for himself and bring the royal family to financial ruin, aka not being able to afford Pandora bracelet's, leading to the final Christmas Prince movie, where Richard unfairly raises taxes too high and brings revolution unto him and his wife

Colorful, sickly sweet, with connotations of celebration and joy, but devoid of nutrients and unable to sustain a person for long. PERFECT ANALOGY

I thought this said "let them eat pinecones" at first and I didn't bat an eye.

The Christmas Prince 4: Join The Revolution

lol you called it. We'll see if that happens

i laughed so hard a something inside me i didn't know i had hurts

The best part about that is that the third movie is literally about her having a baby

they just announced the Christmas Prince 3: The Royal Baby.

She finds out about a law requiring she gives birth on Christmas a little too late

Lol 15:05 on the left

I thought I was great at it, but Ive realized Im the Prince Richard of essay writing. An unqualified pretender

Lmaoo that reminds me of the super nice super smart smokin hot chick I sat beside in english class in hs that let me copy off her n shit 😂 god bless her lol or I woulda never graduated

@JustANobody Stop being a disgusting pervert

She knows how to entertain, but to be honest the skillset for writing a college essay is a bit different. Not sure all the old professors would appreciate her tangents or sense of humor.

@@bunhee231 I have no idea if she has the skill-set. She's probably a very good essay writer, in fact, but because the skillset doesn't translates 1 to 1, I don't think we can automatically say she's "god-tier" at technical/academic writing just based off her (very enjoyable) youtube videos/video essays.

AFAIK if it’s a male bloodline and male-preference primogeniture, that doesn’t automatically mean emily has no claim, and logically hers should be stronger than simon’s. richard isn’t biologically the king and queen’s son, but emily is by the queen’s own admission their daughter; she’s therefore descended from the male bloodline and moreover a direct relative of the old king, unlike simon, who’s only his nephew. i don’t remember if we established which of simon’s parents is an aldovian royal, but if his mother was a princess, his claim is all the weaker because he’s descended from the female line (as far as i remember! i could be wrong!) it’s plausible that emily simply doesn’t have the political power or enough allies to enforce her claim, given that she’s a minor, a girl, and disabled-even if her claim *should* have more weight, that doesn’t mean the nobility would automatically support her as the heir when there’s a physically abled adult man also putting forth a claim, given that most societies on earth have misogynistic and ableist attitudes. if the sole issue is that emily is a minor, it could be a problem of who will be her regent until she turns 18-if she can’t legally rule for however many years, and they say something like “the queen can’t be her regent because she’s not a royal by blood”, that could be the reason why simon has a shot at being king: they don’t need to scramble to find a suitable regent after discounting both richard and the queen, even if his claim is weaker. i like this option, it has much less bigoted implications as to why emily can’t be queen.

Monarchies have never barred children from ruling. If the monarch is a child they will almost always have a regent to advise them on political matters, and the regent is often the one who is making all or most of the decisions, but officially the child is still the monarch.

In Brazil, the prince Pedro Cabral ruled when he was just 13 years old.

@@renatashpthis is an alt universe so

But then why doesn't his mom rule? King is dead ok no problem we still have the queen. But oh no she is a woman shucks

Well she does act like the reincarnation of Tiny Tim, hoping that everyone will see her and be reminded of the Christ Child who heals the lame so that they may walk and the blind may see.

@@TwoPairSA until I saw your comment I thought the same. Kinda disappointed tbh 🤣

Probably less documentary and more like one of those unauthorized Lifetime channel specials.

To this day, this still annoys me a lot xD

So cinematic universe isn’t even a joke then 😂

I think they also mention aldovia in the knight before Christmas! AND in castle for Christmas which just came out with Brooke Shields, some characters from princess switch have a cameo. So there definitely is a Netflix Christmas movie cinematic universe...for some reason

Someone else who noticed! I'm far too happy lol

as we know from our dear Queen Bee Regina George, "Oh my God, I love your bracelet. Where did you get it?"

@@Nyasferatu "That is the ugliest f-ing bracelet I've ever seen in my life."

I was hoping this was a sponsored video paid for by Pandora.

To fully understand the insult to Amber would require knowledge of what is a now all but forgotten scene cut from the final film. Emily, as a member of the royal family, does not simply “run out to the mall,” or even “just order on line.” All gifts from the royal family to employees among the palace staff are strictly handled exclusively (for obvious reasons) by the Head of Palace Protocol, who is… Mrs. Averille. Now do you see it? We have lost the scene in which Emily details her general specifications for the gift to Mrs. Averille, and so we miss the older woman’s expression of profound distaste for Amber which soon turns to gloating as she selects the gift itself from the Pandora website. Her chortle and softly delivered line, “Oh, _this_ will be a little gift for myself!” were some of Mrs. Averille’s best moments, adding a depth to the character that would have nicely set up her increasingly open conflict with Amber. That bracelet was an insult indeed! The irony is sharp and cuts in every direction. Emily trusts Mrs. Averille completely and is gratefully delighted with her selection of gift, knowing nothing of American Shopping Mall Culture. Amber being Amber, is genuinely appreciative, thinking to herself that Emily has terrible taste, because she is young and has been so isolated as a Royal, but believes that the girl has gone to great effort to find something uniquely American and this endears Emily to her forever. Mrs. Averille quickly realizes she has misjudged. Her insult has sailed over Amber’s head as intended but there is no satisfaction to be had because no-one amongst the nobility has any idea of the quality or monetary value of the charm bracelet. The Royals all appear to assume it was something Amber had requested - to remind her of Christmas at home in America. Having come to the understanding that everyone in the palace is oblivious to the real value of the gift, Mrs. Averille feels comfortable doctoring the accounts ledger and over-charging the Royal Family by an qegregious amount. She pockets the difference and treats herself a crate of a 43 year old Aldovian schnapps that has been aged in France. It is actually while drinking one of these precious bottles in the second movie that she hatches the plan to create a dilemma for Amber and the Prince regarding what jewelry Amber can wear in the royal portrait.

@@ColdHawk This is some villainess-isekai levels of backhanded insults and court scheming.

It has become Iconic

I was all, "DEW IT, JENNY! EMBRACE THE POWER OF THE NUMBERED LIST!

binglio LOL

binglio love your profile picture you have good taste

mellowmonticello thank you! long live st vincent!

It's amazing, clearly intentional which makes me think maybe the costume designer at least gets the true dystopian meaning

That "color analysis" is brilliant - the critic should be the consultant

No. Analyzing a movie like this for half an hour is not epic, it's ridiculous, because this kind of movie is not meant to be analyzed. It's a cheesy, feel-good, Christmas movie. It's meant to be enjoyed, no dissected. There is no deeper meaning, and the people insisting it has a 'dystopian meaning', etc., are wrong. Put on your Christmas pjs, get some popcorn, sit back, and enjoy a movie like this the way it's meant to be enjoyed - as a fun fairytale.

@@Julia-nl3gq clearly someone doesn't understand the deep, intricate storytelling of the Christmas Prince Cinematic Universe

It also shows how meritocracy is a phrase, as those who are theoretically qualified will not get power because of the petty squabbles of those already in power.

Murdered by the reporter's newspaper and her body stuffed in an alley. They really wanted that coronation story...

@@Chipiliro613 I think the reporter probably did it herself. Doesn't seem like the type to let others do the dirty work

They couldn't afford a tutor, it was a Christmas miracle when one showed up

I’ve been wondering the same thing lol

In some countries, sure. But in others, you have to sacrifice people to get snow and good fortune

I think it could be akin to the Japanese "first cherry blossom fall" celebration.

@@horusreloaded6387 like the southern us

If the royals live in Aldovia's equivalent of London, i.e. a city pretty far south with mildish weather, its relatively conceivable that they dont get snow every year even if the rest of the country is blanketed in it. This belief further supports Richards inability to rule as it demonstrates that he spends so little time away from the wealthy capital that he cant relate at all to the issues of the populous at large, making him unfit to effectively govern.

Man idk where you are in England where snow falls multiple times every single year. Some years we don't get snow at all. I always assumed Aldovia was like... Scandinavia or someplace with that kinda heavy snow. Their accents are English, sure, but that's just to play into the whole Dickens Christmas movies, and handsome Royals image. But yeah, saying snow falling is a sign of good fortune when snow falls all winter is an odd one.

lol,same

Thought it was just me

Jenny's commentary is more entertaining than watching the actual movie would be.

Me

This is the way

Now that you mention it, if they adopted Richard, wouldn't people be surprised because the queen wasn't pregnant beforehand?

@@yusufkadar maybe she was and miscarried ...very dark thought

@@justcuz2105 I don't think that's it, because it turned out she supposedly wasn't able to have children at all (until Emily, apparently).

@@yusufkadar sunset beach, the tale of the smurf and the cushion

Lol the plot holes/missing information is what makes these movies the best Xmas films ever 😄

Yes, like Western music in a Soviet state

Yeah it's like "I'm not downtrodden by the rich, I can eat food! Oh.. oh right .. people own cars. Like three cars for one family. New. Okay then. Revolution hours"

Legit 😭😭

Finding out that people considered pandora a "middle" sort of cost was jarring. Like I knew they weren't expensive expensive, but in my circle they're... Nothing to sneeze at cost wise. Like people growing up would brag about them being a bit pricey. We all knew they were ugy tho

@@melaniekirkland6634 I kinda get where she's coming from. It's not that the prices for Pandora are like, show up and buy without another thought. But, if a middle class family wanted to really drop some cash on jewelry, 500$ is usually like a third of the cost of a single tiny colored gem on a thin chain. In my neck of the woods, the cheapest peices you'll find at a proper jewlery store are gonna be like 2000$ ish dollars.

@@Bostonpancacke Also worth noting that the majority of charms for Pandora bracelets cost way less than that. You can easily get cute charms for the bracelet for 50 euros

@@melissasmith6762 I guess it wasn't satire for the explaination of the first movie and Ambers color theory but it turned into satire when she talked about the second movie, because they totally dropped that in the second one, and I think Jenny was making fun of that hahaha

Editor Jenny strikes again

Yes!

The colors make the dialogue [mercifully] unnecessary! I'll watch it on silent. :)

They followed the soundalike rule. Inversion of the melody, using the same chord progression is legal. Seriously, how do you not get the rights to an old song? That means there wasn't much potential in the movie.

@@TheNickleChick Not a real thing, by the by. It's just the output of a shitty (or half-finished) Generational Adversarial Network, like those fake faces a facebook engineer posted ages ago. They were probably playing around with GANs, got this output and decided to pretend it had anything to do with strokes. Maybe they even convinced themselves it was true.

I nominate the adrenal glands for the title of dread sacks.

I think this ignores the role of the amygdala in attaching emotional valence to experience, particularly states of anxiety such as dread. I’d be good with, “squoze my ‘mygdala,” or such as a colloquialism....

I'm adding that to my vocabulary.

I hate when people squeeze my sacks :(

but then, the lighting. i mean, this is supposed to be a hallmarkian feel good Christmas romance, but the lighting is consistently cold, harsh, blue tinged and unwelcoming. those are very weird choices and doesn't make that.much sense as for cheapness..... the mystery keeps unfolding .........

@@kathia8014 the color grading is also extremely dull... Fits with the dark theme...

If the look was intermittently bad, I would agree with you. The fact that it’s throughout the film makes it a deliberate choice-the anti-Hallmark Hallmark movie.

Well, not exactly during Christmas. It was more of an Easter revolution.

@@carlycrays2831 Was French eternally in Easter?

Nuh-uh! The Drench Revolution didn't happen in Aldovia!!!

mood

This is me when it comes to every video Jenny has ever made.

Like the Onin War of Japan. Anyone can feel free to correct or add something, but by my understanding it went like this: The shogun at the time had no heir, so he persuaded his brother to abandon his life as a monk to become his heir. But then the shogun actually did have a child, so a war broke out over who should succeed the shogun: his brother, as was agreed, or the shogun's child, as was supposed to be in the first place.

House of the Dragon and also Game of Thrones are pretty much about wars to settle the question of Rightful Heirs ETA: and GOT is loosely based on the real-world Wars of the Roses

Very true. Even monarchs with real power (past or present) can't really change that, even if they should want to for some reason. The bloodline for better or worse is the basis of the institution, and hence the power. Regardless of who wielded that power in practice, ministers, chancellors or such. "Elective" monarchies have existed. But obviously they would never just elect someone unrelated that they happened to like. It would always be some grand noble with a bloodline of his own, preferably someone who had a claim due to being related to the ruling family somehow. More often than not the election would simply confirm the son of the late king as the new ruler.

Yeah, In history. But as it stands now, Royalty are just a bunch of fancy plutocrats. You could replace one with a horse, and I doubt anybody would be willing to go to war over it.

Jenny clearly isn't a monarchy nerd. Most monarchs do not have the power to name their successors. And historically, male-only succession (Salic Law / agnatic primogeniture) was very common in continental European monarchies. It's still used in Liechtenstein today.

WOAH

Wooooahhhh

Damn. The Christmas Prince cinematic universe has _layers._

Them layers man, you keep pulling them back but they just keep coming

The Christmas Prince is like an onion... it has layers

jeremyud - Have you ever heard of Capgras Syndrome? _[shudder]_ This is every bit the grim alternate-reality dystopia Jenny claims. The madness is just below the surface....

I like to think one of the other dads is a step dad. Her mom divorced and remarried before she died and both dads own a diner. They each own their own diner. They don't share one.

@@debbiemcpherson2426 or they both share a diner and are secretly in love

@@sylvy16 Both men discover their bisexuality after their wife/ex-wife dies and develop a bond through their shared grief over the mom and their mutual love of their daughter. Amber doesn't accept her dads' relationship, which is why only one dad visits her at a time and they speak as if the other dad doesn't exist. It's not ideal. They want to visit as a couple. But they already lost her mom. They can't lose Amber too.

They tell actors to pretend-shiver while they’re sheened in sweat from cozy layered costumes, which can make those who overdo the shivers look dopesick

@@alisaurus4224 this comment is too underrated lol

@@alisaurus4224 That explains why they need snow gif over every scene that they don't bother to stagger so it looks like the snow keeps falling the same way between cuts.

WRONG. It was a reference to the planet Pandora from the movie Avatar, which is the Aldovian's home planet.

That's a very astute point.

Or because the name Pandora means "all gifts" in Ancient Greek. Amber has all the gifts a modern American woman could want - a job as a journalist, a blog, staff to do the Christmas cooking and an English royal husband. I am not quite sure where in England Aldovia is but somewhere in the south, I guess.

@nan All of the Aldovian's consciousness transfers to a giant Christmas Tree when they die, also the tree uproots itself and fights a giant robot.

I mean, in the third film, they actually change the "male bloodline" law, which is great, so maybe?

Yes the movie where even the menstural cycles of the Royal women align to give birth on Christmas. Which considering the coronations and wedding things, that little brat is gonna grow up VERY privileged to put it mildly Edit: I forgot the part where the plot is that they have to prevent going to fucking war over a stupid treaty in which they have to renew every century

Fresh, exciting, a new spin on an old structure. Where do I sign up?

Honestly, I'd prefer to see Amber with Simon. He is more interesting, driven and passionate, that he'd be far more interesting. Alas, I doubt that Netflix will tear apart the happy couple. Edit: It's Amber not Emily. That's my bad memory, lol

S Sealark Emily is richards sister though?

@@ladyj.9350 Yikes! I totally messed that up. Lol Will correct that.

Would have been a good ending to have Simon become Prime Minister. He seems the most suitable to be the actual leader of the country. Then could have more interesting back and forth of Simon trying to run the country while King Richard acts like a complete dope and messes everything up.

Weirdly enough, their Christmas Truce actually happens at Easter

Not Jingle Bell Rock, the weird knockoff version from the intro

war is hell

dang ikr it kinda blew my mind

Because Jenny is amazing

Im pretty sure the entire video started with the prompt "go insane with color analysis on something that definitely doesn't deserve it and retcon the reasons for the choices."

Everything was sarcastic and at the same time absolutely legit

#LifeLessons

It's not a plot hole! It's murder

Huh. I wonder if one could work Suicide Squad over by making it a theory.

Possibly, but the editing is bad. Unless you're gonna say there is a glitch in the matrix type one. However, this movie seems to be purposefully cohesive in it's choices. Suicide Squad just seemed lazy and also looks like it may of gone through development hell. I like the idea of a theory maybe fixing bad movies, but at the same time, I'd rather people learn to make better movies. Or at least cohesive ones.

Therefore, the Dean IS a genius and I will die defending his vision.

"Basic"

New concept: woman wears a fancy dress and equally fancy but deliberately inappropriate shoes underneath to show she’s unique. Let’s see some thigh high lace-up boots or hoof shoes!

Girl in fancy dress wears fursuit underneath to show she’s unique

The only time it was ever used right was to highlight class disparity in a Titanic novel.

"I want a wedding dress that reflects who I am!" *picks the ugliest dress on the clearance rack she can find*

Honestly, out of everything in this tin foil hat review, that color theory actually seems plausible. Give the main character a vibrant color scheme contrasted against the drab background, then show that color scheme bleeding into the other characters as they become closer to her.

OMG YES

You say that like every quirky woman doesnt want to dance in a million dollar dress and $50 sneaks

I think Jenny could teach a graduate level course in “Quirky and Relatable.” I wonder what footwear she chooses when an occasion calls for a ball gown?

Good thing you clarified that the heroine was female. Just so there's no doubt of her being a male heroine.

Embittered by the refusal of her family to have lobbied for this at her own birth, she hatches a devastating plot to bring an end to her older brother and his family, and ascend to her rightful place as queen.

@@Mecharnie_DobbsIn theory yes, it is just that is ever seldom the case with Mary Sues | Gary Stus given by their nature the plot tends to revolve around them. Also such a character being only a side character tends to blur the line between whether they are a Mary Sue or just a convenient plot device.

Was it even really a coup? All simon did was reveal the truth of richard not being eligible for the throne.

Considering Richard is as interesting as dry wall, Simon's probably the only man he could ask.

that made me piss laugh omfg

Rayce Archer - damn funny!

Nice!

As funny as this is there's probably a province of the eastern block that's really like that.

Keto•tic hmm,seems legit

LOL

hipnhappenin - Nun ovia bizness, that’s why!

@@ColdHawk that was very clever! good job!

Let’s throw in an added twist, Aldovia were allied with the wrong countries in WWII

I love ‘Frozening’ as a verb! Also ties in with deception and facade.

@@Cameron368 hence the seeming neglect of the working class. History of opposition from the Communist USSR has lead to a deep distrust of unions and worker rights among the ruling class

@@MrHendrix17 I don't like how much sense that makes for this fictional country.

Is that second one from The Dictator? 😂

She did, on her Patreon!

I tingle at the thought.

Where she loses her memory and ends up in an orphanage until she's 18 to travel with two con men to find her biological family before fighting off a decaying sorcerer. ........wait....

It also parallels the French Revolution.

@@ThreadBomb They should do a musical, and put it on Broadway for decades

I'd watch this sequel...

When I saw that line in the video I was so excited to come down to the comments because I knew exactly what I was going to post and exactly how I was going to post it. I feel disappointed that I was beaten to the punch but validated that you did so well (top comment at the moment of posting). Also I was gonna go with "You don't cARE for tobogganing?!", exactly like that with capitalization and quotation marks but reading yours now it's just better. So congratulations, and merry Christmas. Man, what a fantastic line. What a fantastic video.

@@ShaunCheah i am flattered, though ii actually prefer the way you typed it. so i'd say we're even. merry christmas!

I'm drawn to any comment that gets a honeypot from the site owner.

Ok I know this is a year old but when Summer and Dylan have that really romantically charged moment and the whale zord rains all over them? Hoo.

The first season or two of iZombie, when they’re still trying to fit in as Regular Humans, play heavily on the theme of facades and their cost to those who must maintain them

We love to see Power Rangers actors getting work. I mean, this franchise isn’t exactly Devil May Cry, or anything, but still.

She was Tinkerbell on "Once Upon a Time" too, wasn't she?

CBS Ghosts

I haven't seen the movie but I was so shocked by this in her video analysis. I mean I didn't expect the movie writers/producers to have a degree in economics but is this not just basic common knowledge that giving every person a lump sum of money is meaningless at best and a huge economic disaster at worst?????? Economic collapse of Germany that lead to the Nazi regime anyone????

Will a small white talking bat and a decaying sorcerer be included?

Considering the amount of people in the U.S. I see suggesting it all the time. I don't think it's common knowledge at all unfortunately.

I assume the prime minister was forced to give back the money with a massive fine or something.

But is Rasputin going to be changed at all

I know right. They should have just made the secret will an amendment to the succession to allow women to ascend the throne and make Emily Queen. That way Richard would still be "The Christmas Prince"

“Secret Christmas Nut” is a phrase that I will cherish for the rest of my life. Thank you for this, the greatest of Christmas gifts.

secret christmas nut 👀

@@aswertyuiol Or I guess, in King Richard's case, The Nut that Never Was 👀

But if the late king did THAT, how would our super special protagonist become queen?
