Either way, here we are. A holiday theory about A Christmas Prince, its two follow up movies, and how much their royal romantic lead SUCKS! Happy holidays!

I mean, they did to Richard Dean Anderson in Macgyver, but that was in the 80's/90's people didn't have their crap together then, this happening in these movies is NO EXCUSE!

      Felarchy I can’t remember the term for it, there’s a specific name. Its typically a very strict thing. Men lift their wives to their status, while wives cannot lift their husbands to their status. There have been, I believe, a couple times in history where the high ranking female has made a ruling or law to bestow upon her husband equal status, but it’s not common at all. It may have even only been once in history. I can’t give exact names and dates, I remember reading about it, but I can’t recall the details.

      Why did Simon want to be king though? Was it because he truly wanted to help the country and had a sense of altruism or was it because he wanted what Richard had? It’s not about the ambition itself, it’s about the motive and how he was willing to step on his own cousin to get ahead instead of, I dunno, discussing it with his cousin first behind closed doors. He totally humiliated Richard and loved every second of it.

Also, she moves to abolish an outdated sexist law about the rule of succession. It took two full movies for her to do anything royal besides learning the meaningless pomp and circumstance but at least it's SOMETHING.

    Here's the difference between Richard and Simon, Richard never wanted the responsibilities of the King, only wanted to get the girl and have fun. Simon on the hand actually wanted the job and cared about the well being of the kingdom, people. But his actions looked sneaky so no one really believed him or even wanted to give him a chance. I kinda wish they didn't make Simon the villain cause he doesn't even look like a villain, it's not like he was manipulating people or trying to get them harmed. He was very blunt about his goals and didn't lie unlike the main characters.

      Take Imperial Germany for example, where the Kaiser effectively has the power of a president, but stays in office for life.

    My Mom and I watched the trilogy and she was so surprised that I called out every plot point way before it happened. This is also the woman who has me watch hallmark movies with her every year. I have learned their gimmicks, I could probably write my own movie and people would love it.

    Despite the scheming, I would fully support Simon as king. Unlike Richard, Simon is proven to be competent and a go getter. Any proper statesman knows full well your duty is to the people. A duty that Richard so callously ignores when he brushes off both the peace treaty meant to prevent war and save lives as well as the general strike meant to raise awareness that he needs to help his people through an economic crisis. In short Simon cares about his people and has shown himself to have both the competence and initiative to be a proper leader.
