American Princess

45min

Twenty average, plain, and rather ill-mannered American women are taken to London, England to master the finer arts of British society and be crowned “American Princess” and earn valuable prizes. But first, the women have to learn how to eat dinner, handle cutlery, serve tea, walk in high heels, dance, and act as a proper royal should be.
