Doesn't take after
his mother at all.
And he's been all over Europe,
looked at every Princess
and turned down
every one of them,
and now he's coming here to you.
I expect he can't bear
the site of another
Princess by now.
Alexandra, this is
the most important moment
you'll ever have to face.
My dear, you're not
going to be nervous?
No, mother.
I hope not.
Hoping's not enough.
You must tell yourself
not to be.
Oh, my dear child.
This is the one thing,
the one opportunity
that all your life
I've been praying for--
for you to become a queen.
Yes, mother.
I know that.
You must prove to Albert
in these 4 days
that you have
all the qualities he's
looking for in a wife,
a wife who'll share
his throne one day.
You must be gracious
and dignified,
warm and charming and amusing.
Oh, I know he's seen
a great deal more
of life than you,
but you can make that
an advantage, too.
Let him see how sweet
and unspoiled you are,
and, darling, you must
try your hardest
not to be shy.
Men don't like it,
especially a man
like Albert.
After all, that's one
of the first duties
of a queen.
She always
puts other people
at their ease.
You remember
my telling you that?
Yes, mother, I remember it.
Albert's the law
unto himself, they say,
but don't let that frighten you.
Look on it as a challenge,
and never forget
that first impressions
are everything.
Of course, you must be
natural, too. That's more
important than anything,
but above all, don't be nervous.
No. I--I... No.
I know, mother.
You do?
You sure you do,
all these things?
Yes, of course I do,
but if you keep
telling me,
it's just going
to make me more...
It's time for
May I go?
Don't worry, mother.
Your highness.
You're late this morning.
Forgive me, your highness.
To speak the truth,
I supposed
too busy this morning.
Busy?
With the visit
of his royal highness.
I thought
there would be no more
fencing lessons...
For the next few days,
at all events.
What--what I meant,
your highness--
should the lessons
be discontinued
at any time,
you will be notified.
Yes, your highness.
