A Royal Queens Christmas

The film begins in Queens, New York, where Dee Dee (Daphne Dolores Paretti) is helping her cousin Zoe at Rossi’s Bakery while struggling to find her post-Army career path. Meanwhile, Prince Colin of Exeter arrives in Manhattan for a prestigious international children's charity ball, though he prefers playing jazz piano in hotel lobbies to his royal duties. When Zoe lands a massive order for the charity ball, Dee Dee delivers the pastries to the hotel but is knocked over by Colin, who is rushing to a meeting. The pastries are ruined, and Colin, charmed by Dee Dee's bluntness and unaware of her identity, offers to do anything to make it up to her. Dee Dee recruits him to fill in for her father, Mickey, as the piano player for the 'Little Queens' children's choir fundraiser. Colin introduces himself simply as 'Colin St. Bernard' and begins spending time in Queens, even sleeping on the Parettis' couch when a snowstorm hits. He bonds with the family over Italian dinners and 'gravy,' while helping the choir find a new 'spark' by adding jazz flair to traditional carols. However, the secret of his identity looms large. His parents, King Sebastian and Queen Alexandra, arrive in New York early along with Duchess Adriana, whom they expect Colin to marry to secure the succession. The truth is revealed during a neighborhood Secret Santa event when the royals track Colin to Queens, leaving Dee Dee feeling betrayed by his lie. Despite the tension, Colin fulfills his promise to play at the Christmas pageant, where the children's performance is a massive success. In a private moment, Adriana confesses to Colin that she is also in love with someone else and doesn't want an arranged marriage. Inspired by Dee Dee’s independence, Colin confronts his parents. The King, moved by the public's positive reaction to Colin's 'prince of the people' persona, decides to delay his retirement and allow Colin to choose his own future. Colin rushes to the Queens block party, finds Dee Dee at the wishing tree, and declares his love, promising that they can make their 'bird and fish' romance work.
