[00:00.252]You know ,they named me Charming.
[00:02.990]Not Charles, not Clifford, not Kent.
[00:05.761]Just Charming, no last name.
[00:08.519]Like I'm a perfume scent.
[00:11.282]“Just find a girl,”my father said.
[00:14.848]And then produce a heir.
[00:17.358]Well, I have the girl. Well, had.
[00:21.352]Where did Charming get me?
[00:23.110]Nowhere
[00:26.379]I entered a ball,and the whispers begin
[00:30.898]He's dashing, so handsome, would you look at his grin?
[00:35.665]I'm just supposed to smile and give the girl a twirl.
[00:40.182]Forget my plans for a democracy.
[00:42.691]Girls just see keys to the monarchy.
[00:45.442]Does anyone ask what I think of the war?Nope.
[00:51.464]Or taxes, or roads ,or literally anything more?
[00:55.730]They want the handsome trophy man
[00:57.988]And not the 5-year plan.
[01:00.496]I tried to lead with good diplomacy.
[01:02.753]All they want is pump and pageantry.
[01:05.539]Then there‘s her,the girl who lost the shoe.
[01:09.551]And disappears like every plot hole I see through.
[01:13.814]I'm more than just Charming.
[01:15.822]I‘m more than a smile
[01:17.592]I'm more than the armpiece that a princess needs.
[01:20.852]To walk her down the aisle
[01:23.111]I balanced our economy and opened trade last year.
[01:27.433]I cut the tariffs
[01:28.943]But that's not what they all want to hear.
[01:32.019]I'm just the guy to search the land.
[01:34.287]With fragile footwear in his hand.
[01:36.796]I'm more than just a charming prince for a girl.
[01:45.860]A boy meets a girl but he finds out she's dead.
[01:49.872]My job is to save her so the plot moves ahead.
[01:54.408]I'm just the prince, a norm, no name.
[01:57.169]Exist, but don’t complain.
[01:59.431]Find the princess that you love but then you find out there's seven other men.
[02:03.945]Wait, what?
[02:05.700]A princess is cursed ,that’s the setup I guess.
[02:10.491]A girl,a witch, a prince.
[02:12.746]I mean, that's it more or less.
[02:15.009]Just save the girl,that’s great.
[02:16.768]No plans for healthcare,war or state.
[02:19.515]No, you let the princess do the feeling.
[02:22.280]Your job is just to do the kneeling.
[02:24.030]And by the way,we picked you a bride.
[02:26.107]Your future’s pre-agreed.
[02:28.613]But now I'm starting to wonder.
[02:31.120]Is this what I really need？
[02:33.130]I'm more than just handsome.
[02:35.138]I'm more than a prop.
[02:37.413]I'm more than the guy in tights on horseback.
[02:39.671]And whose name they all forgot.
[02:42.181]I've smiled through hypocrisy to last me 10 careers.
[02:46.700]And for God’s sake,no more royal balls.
[02:48.953]They’re traps with chandeliers.
[02:51.524]A kiss without consent is gross.
[02:53.785]So I guess she’ll lay there comatose.
[02:56.292]I'm more than just a charming prince for a girl.
[03:05.074]We act the role and we wear the crown.
[03:09.338]We lift them up, but they hold us down.
[03:13.350]I could stop global warming but no one would care.
[03:18.402]In a princess’s story
[03:21.411]Is the prince even there
[03:27.187]I'm more than just charming.
[03:28.943]Do I get a plot? Probably not.
[03:32.009]I'm just the face they frame.
[03:33.263]Wait, what's his name?
[03:34.299]I'm the hero they forgot.
[03:36.611]So if you want the fairytale, go and buy the book.
[03:40.628]But news for you,
[03:42.401]The prince inside it only has one look.
[03:45.655]Stand tall and smile. Don't offend.
[03:48.160]That's where the royal training ends.
[03:50.671]I‘m more than just a handsome, gallant, mindless, charming prince for a girl.
