The Royal Treatment 2022

Isabella, affectionately known as Izzy, is a talented hairdresser who finds herself in a bit of a predicament when her salon’s microwave malfunctions and ignites a fire. As a result, she faces the burden of compensating for the damages inflicted. The request comes from Doug, the assistant to the salon’s landlord, and Izzy, desperate to cover the costs, reluctantly surrenders the money she had meticulously saved for her dream of exploring the world.

Meanwhile, across the ocean in the kingdom of Lavania, Prince Thomas, portrayed by Mena Massoud, enlists the help of his assistant Walter to arrange a haircut. In a twist of fate, Walter mistakenly contacts Izzy’s salon, erroneously informing her that she will receive a generous payment of $500 for the service. Excited by the offer, Izzy agrees to cut the prince’s hair. However, during the appointment, a clumsy housekeeper inadvertently spills tea, igniting Izzy’s outrage at the treatment of the staff, prompting her to abandon the haircut unfinished.

Upon returning to her salon, the determined Prince Thomas tracks Izzy down to complete his haircut, marking the beginning of a delightful evening together as Izzy agrees to escort him back to the metro. Their chemistry blooms, and they share a wonderfully adventurous night filled with laughter and joy.

The following day, amidst plans for his wedding to Lauren, Thomas discusses potential makeup artists for the event with her mother. Walter proposes Izzy’s salon, and both Lauren and her mother agree, sending Izzy and her friends on an exciting journey to Lavania, offering them a staggering $50,000 for their contributions to the royal wedding. Encountering Madam Fabre, another assistant, Izzy impresses her during a skills test, while her friends struggle and require additional training.

Eager to experience Lavania, Izzy embarks on a tour of the province, accompanied by Thomas. They venture into the renowned Uber de glares, a place the royals consider risky, where they enjoy each other’s company and the vibrant atmosphere.

The next day, Thomas expresses a desire to make a positive impact on the local community, inspired by Izzy’s initiatives. She encourages locals to contribute items for less fortunate children, leaving them at the castle gate. As Lauren emphasizes her ambitions for the estate, Thomas discovers a guardhouse filled with the donated toys for children, which he decides to complement with some royal furniture that the queen no longer wanted. Together, Izzy and Thomas drive the toys and furniture to the nearest orphanage, spreading happiness to those in need.

However, Lauren’s mother grows suspicious of Thomas’s increasing closeness to Izzy, while Lauren herself remains unconcerned, preferring to focus on her entrepreneurial ideas rather than a marriage with someone she hardly knows. Things take a turn when a candid photograph of Izzy and Thomas appears in the newspapers, leading to Izzy being asked to leave under the royal family’s wishes. It soon becomes evident that the King and Queen want Thomas to marry Lauren, not out of love, but because her family could potentially alleviate their financial woes.

On the momentous wedding day, Walter confronts Thomas, expressing his understanding of the prince’s true feelings for Izzy. In a moment of clarity, Thomas reveals to Lauren that he cannot go through with the wedding, a relief to her as she shares his sentiments about their relationship.

With her salon now plagued by a devastating fire upon her return, Izzy stands firm as Doug visits, demanding financial assistance. She asserts that Doug had overlooked necessary rewiring that should have occurred the previous year and makes it clear she has no plans to continue working in the salon. Instead, Izzy opts to pursue her new calling as director of a local community center, envisioning a brighter future.

As she reflects on her life from her home, contemplatively gazing at the road from her fire escape, the sound of horse hooves breaks her reverie. It is Prince Thomas, who has come riding toward her on horseback, ready to confess his feelings. In a heartfelt moment, they share a passionate kiss, sealing their connection before setting off together to enjoy gelato, embarking on a new chapter filled with promise and excitement.
