A Not So Royal Christmas 2023.en Subtitles

00:00:08,574 --> 00:00:11,KIRSTEN: Sorhagen Palace
was first built in
00:00:11,644 --> 00:00:14,and later renovated
in the 18th century.

00:00:14,180 --> 00:00:16,And ever since then,
there's been a royal decree

00:00:16,416 --> 00:00:18,for the grounds to be decorated
every Christmas.

00:00:18,718 --> 00:00:20,As you can see,
everything from our ornaments

00:00:20,786 --> 00:00:22,to our silver bells

00:00:22,288 --> 00:00:24,tell a story
of the legacies of the Counts

00:00:24,557 --> 00:00:26,who once called
Sorhagen Palace home.

00:00:26,559 --> 00:00:28,-Is Count Lars
actually living here now?

00:00:28,895 --> 00:00:30,Will we get to see him
on this tour?

00:00:30,596 --> 00:00:33,Or is it true that he hasn't
made a public appearance

00:00:33,199 --> 00:00:34,since he was a teenager?

00:00:34,767 --> 00:00:37,-Uh, the current Count prefers
to work behind the scenes.

00:00:37,069 --> 00:00:39,Now, the original
stone was forged--

00:00:39,172 --> 00:00:40,-Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait!

00:00:40,539 --> 00:00:42,Is it true he doesn't
show his face

00:00:42,275 --> 00:00:43,because he lost his nose
bullfighting?

00:00:43,676 --> 00:00:45,[door opens]

00:00:45,211 --> 00:00:48,-The Count's nose, I assure you,
is very well intact,

00:00:48,648 --> 00:00:50,and you should not believe
the conspiracy theories

00:00:50,816 --> 00:00:52,that you read at gossip sites.

00:00:52,285 --> 00:00:54,-Ah, you all are in luck today.

00:00:54,287 --> 00:00:56,This is Sir Gustus,
the Count's Royal Advisor.

00:00:56,623 --> 00:00:59,-Ah! So you can tell us
if the Count is actually here?

00:00:59,559 --> 00:01:02,I mean, it's the only reason
why we came on the tour, anyway.

00:01:02,228 --> 00:01:02,Right, guys?
[laughs nervously]

00:01:03,062 --> 00:01:04,-On behalf of Count Lars,

00:01:04,430 --> 00:01:06,we are so happy
you chose to spend the day

00:01:06,298 --> 00:01:08,visiting Sorhagen Palace.

00:01:08,100 --> 00:01:09,We hope you stay the month

00:01:09,602 --> 00:01:12,as Christmastime here
is always magical

00:01:12,605 --> 00:01:15,and the town's festivities
are open to all.

00:01:15,675 --> 00:01:17,[chuckles]

00:01:17,209 --> 00:01:19,[quietly]
A word?

00:01:19,812 --> 00:01:21,-Just one moment.

00:01:21,314 --> 00:01:23,TOURIST: I don't think we're
seeing the Count today...

00:01:25,485 --> 00:01:28,-Remember, the less Count talk,
the better.

00:01:28,454 --> 00:01:29,-I know.

00:01:29,822 --> 00:01:31,I'm sorry, sir, I'm trying.
They just keep asking.

00:01:31,824 --> 00:01:33,-Only three today?

00:01:33,859 --> 00:01:36,-The most we've had
this month.

00:01:36,495 --> 00:01:40,Do you think if he made
one quick appearance,

00:01:40,099 --> 00:01:41,we'd get more sign-ups?

00:01:41,834 --> 00:01:43,-Remember to highlight

00:01:43,536 --> 00:01:45,that the oldest Christmas lights
in Northern Europe

00:01:45,971 --> 00:01:48,hang in our library.

00:01:48,574 --> 00:01:50,-Yes, sir.

00:01:50,343 --> 00:01:53,♪

00:01:53,279 --> 00:01:56,♪

00:01:56,349 --> 00:01:59,♪

00:01:59,519 --> 00:02:02,♪

00:02:02,522 --> 00:02:05,♪

00:02:05,858 --> 00:02:08,♪

00:02:08,060 --> 00:02:09,TONY: Come on, somebody!

00:02:09,395 --> 00:02:11,Give me something,
something for the ladies!

00:02:11,530 --> 00:02:12,-Oh!
-Yeah?

00:02:12,631 --> 00:02:14,The Queen
and the Duchess of Doverly

00:02:14,267 --> 00:02:16,showed up wearing the same dress
to the Royal Banquet.

00:02:16,536 --> 00:02:20,-"Fuel to the fire of the feud."
Yeah, what else?

00:02:20,106 --> 00:02:21,-Ooh, uh, there's
a rumour going around

00:02:21,908 --> 00:02:24,that the Prince of Bulgaria
invested his entire trust

00:02:24,577 --> 00:02:26,in his girlfriend's nightclub.

00:02:26,145 --> 00:02:27,-Yeah, we can work with that.

00:02:27,413 --> 00:02:30,Something like
"Party prince pays the price."

00:02:30,115 --> 00:02:31,Jot that down;
I'm not gonna remember.

00:02:31,351 --> 00:02:33,Come on.
What else?

00:02:33,186 --> 00:02:35,-Um, so apparently,
the Earl of Greyson

00:02:35,555 --> 00:02:37,fathered an illegitimate child
in his late teens

00:02:37,423 --> 00:02:38,and he's spending this Christmas

00:02:38,724 --> 00:02:40,with the family
in the Swiss Alps!

00:02:40,526 --> 00:02:43,-Bingo!
That's what I'm talking about!

00:02:43,095 --> 00:02:44,-The irony, of course,

00:02:44,263 --> 00:02:45,being that his
great-great-grandfather,

00:02:45,764 --> 00:02:47,the Earl in 1885,
secretly fathered a baby

00:02:48,001 --> 00:02:48,with the-- what?
-Oh, oh....

00:02:48,901 --> 00:02:50,I'm falling asleep.

00:02:50,202 --> 00:02:51,-What, why?
That's a good story.

00:02:51,670 --> 00:02:53,-No, it's so boring.

00:02:53,106 --> 00:02:54,Skip the history lesson,
alright?

00:02:54,540 --> 00:02:57,This is RGE,
Royal Gossip Entertainment.

00:02:57,944 --> 00:02:59,We stick to the now scandal.

00:02:59,511 --> 00:03:02,Let's get to it, people!
Time is money!

00:03:02,415 --> 00:03:04,-Um...
Hey, Tony?

00:03:04,250 --> 00:03:05,Can I speak to you for a second?

00:03:05,784 --> 00:03:07,-Yeah, I always
have a second for you.

00:03:07,786 --> 00:03:09,Is this about your story about
the Baron's botched tattoo?

00:03:09,955 --> 00:03:11,I trust your sources, yeah?

00:03:11,424 --> 00:03:12,-No, no, no,
it's nothing like that.

00:03:12,791 --> 00:03:14,It's, um...

00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:17,Okay, so next month

00:03:17,196 --> 00:03:18,will be my five-year anniversary
working here.

00:03:18,898 --> 00:03:20,-And we've been loving
every second of it, yeah.

00:03:20,599 --> 00:03:22,-Thanks!

00:03:22,101 --> 00:03:23,And you could say I've published
some pretty major stories

00:03:23,636 --> 00:03:24,in that time.
-Some of the best!

00:03:24,971 --> 00:03:26,-Good, yeah.

00:03:26,238 --> 00:03:29,I was hoping
I could ask for a raise.

00:03:29,508 --> 00:03:30,-Oh!

00:03:30,777 --> 00:03:32,A raise, yeah...

00:03:32,445 --> 00:03:34,Now's not really
a good time, Charlotte.

00:03:34,947 --> 00:03:36,Sorry.
I mean...

00:03:36,348 --> 00:03:37,you see how it is
around here--

00:03:38,017 --> 00:03:39,they barely have enough
to pay me.

00:03:39,652 --> 00:03:42,But I'm really looking forward
to your piece on the Earl.

00:03:42,154 --> 00:03:44,Yeah?

00:03:44,090 --> 00:03:45,-Oh.

00:03:47,393 --> 00:03:49,-Yeah, we're done.
-Oh.

00:03:49,161 --> 00:03:50,-Yeah.
-Oh... okay.

00:03:50,563 --> 00:03:53,♪

00:03:54,033 --> 00:03:56,♪

00:03:56,803 --> 00:03:58,Ugh...

00:03:58,270 --> 00:04:02,-Guessing it didn't go well?

00:04:02,141 --> 00:04:03,You could always
threaten to leave.

00:04:03,810 --> 00:04:05,He knows you're an asset.

00:04:05,478 --> 00:04:07,-It's just my visa
is up next month,

00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:09,and if he calls my bluff I have
to either leave the country

00:04:09,748 --> 00:04:11,or find another job.

00:04:11,550 --> 00:04:13,And let's be serious,
it's not like any credible

00:04:13,619 --> 00:04:15,news organization
like Monarch Insider

00:04:15,187 --> 00:04:17,is gonna hire me
after working here.

00:04:17,824 --> 00:04:20,-Well, you're always welcome
to crash at my flat.

00:04:20,659 --> 00:04:22,-Thanks.
That's really kind of you.

00:04:22,494 --> 00:04:23,-I don't know
how you're managing

00:04:23,996 --> 00:04:25,ever since your ex moved out.

00:04:25,497 --> 00:04:28,-I actually had to dip
into my savings this month.

00:04:28,467 --> 00:04:30,-Offer still stands.

00:04:30,903 --> 00:04:32,-Thank you.

00:04:32,071 --> 00:04:33,I'll keep that in mind.

00:04:33,639 --> 00:04:35,♪

00:04:35,842 --> 00:04:38,♪

00:04:38,177 --> 00:04:40,♪

00:04:40,847 --> 00:04:42,Adam?

00:04:42,215 --> 00:04:44,Adam Pederson?

00:04:44,083 --> 00:04:45,-Jensen!

00:04:45,417 --> 00:04:48,-Oh!
-Oh!

00:04:48,354 --> 00:04:49,I was hoping I'd see you today.

00:04:49,822 --> 00:04:51,-I heard you were back in town!
-Ah!

00:04:51,657 --> 00:04:54,-Wow!
You look so different.

00:04:54,494 --> 00:04:57,No beard and you've
really slimmed down.

00:04:57,964 --> 00:05:00,-Oh, it's all that backpacking.
-Ah, yes, that's right!

00:05:00,767 --> 00:05:02,You've been all over the world.

00:05:02,268 --> 00:05:04,-Seven countries in ten years.

00:05:04,837 --> 00:05:07,-Never in one spot
for too long, then?

00:05:07,073 --> 00:05:09,-No, still looking
for that one job...
