The prince - who told his parents he would study at his own expense - runs out of money, whereupon he takes a job at the same bar as Paige. He helps her in literary studies while she teaches him everyday skills such as washing. Slowly they fall in love with each other.

Paige resents him for hiding his true identity from her. Prince Edward suddenly has to return home because of his father's illness.

criticism
The lexicon of international films wrote that the film was a "simply developed and charmingly told comedy". He undermines "all quality criteria" and annoys "through the arrogance with which an American lifestyle is propagated".
Cinema magazine wrote that the “lackluster, staid comedy” lacked “whistle and charm”. You have an "old-fashioned 08/15 script".
