My Christmas Prince

Just before Christmas, aspiring journalist Amber Moore travels to Aldovia for a royal press conference. She is mistaken for Princess Emily's American tutor, Martha Anderson, and decides to play along to uncover rumors of abdication. Rather than leaving with the press pack, she sets out to investigate from inside the palace.

Amber quietly continues the deception, using her tutor persona to gain access to palace life and confidential chatter. She hopes to gather material that will confirm or deny the abdication rumors. The undercover move pulls her deeper into royal intrigue.

Amber meets Princess Emily, who has spina bifida and a wary view of adults. Amber treats her with kindness and earns her trust, which softens Emily toward the outer world of politics. The bond gives Amber a gateway into the royal family.

As Amber becomes part of the royal circle, she realizes Richard is the man she argued with earlier at the Aldovian airport over a taxi. Beyond his playboy reputation, she sees glimpses of his compassion and responsibility. A budding attraction starts to take shape between them.

Emily reveals that Simon is Richard's envious cousin and the real threat to the throne, as the crown could pass to him instead. She also notes that she herself cannot ascend because of her gender. The political stakes grow clearer as Amber watches from the inside.

Amber encounters Sofia, Richard's beautiful ex-girlfriend, whose motives may be tied to the crown. Richard grows wary of Sofia's interests, adding tension to his relationship with Amber. The palace atmosphere thickens with secrets and suspicion.

Emily uncovers that Amber is not the tutor she claimed to be and confronts her. She agrees not to expose Amber’s ruse if Amber writes a story praising Richard’s virtues. Amber weighs the risk while the clock ticks toward a royal revelation.

To craft the story, Amber trails Richard on horseback through the forest, hoping for candid material. A dangerous moment follows when Amber's horse throws her and a wolf nearly attacks; Richard intervenes and saves her. The rescue deepens their bond.

Richard takes Amber to his father’s old hunting cabin, where he reveals a dispute with his father about renouncing the throne. He shows Amber a mysterious poem written by his late father, hinting at a legacy that complicates his fate. The moment intensifies their emotional connection.

Back at the palace, Amber searches the late king’s desk and uncovers a hidden compartment containing documents proving Richard was secretly adopted. She hides the documents, realizing the disclosure could upend his claim and harm him personally. She resolves to reveal the truth only at the appropriate moment.

Amber contemplates telling Richard the truth during a walk, but he interrupts with a kiss, forcing her to confront her growing feelings. Their romance deepens even as the political stakes loom over them. The secret weighs heavily on both of them.

Sofia and Simon search Amber’s room and uncover her true identity as a journalist, along with the secret adoption certificate. The breach of trust adds a new level of danger to Amber’s mission and the impending royal ball. The revelation spreads fear of exposure at the worst possible time.

At the Christmas Eve Ball, Sofia publicly reveals the adoption certificate and Amber’s true identity. Simon asserts himself as next in line while Richard storms off, wounded by the betrayals. Amber exits the palace in tears, unsure of how the night will end.

Helena tells Richard that she adopted him and that Emily is their biological child, their ‘miracle.’ Richard forgives his mother and vows to protect him from a hostile succession. The family bond strengthens as they choose to stand against Simon’s scheming.

Amber finds a secret royal proclamation hidden in a Christmas ornament, declaring Richard the rightful heir. She brings it to the official chamber just in time for the coronation, allowing Richard to be crowned instead of Simon. Amber quietly leaves Aldovia afterward.
