TV BRIEF

‘Prince & Me’ premieres Sunday on ABC Family

In this sequel to "The Prince & Me: The Royal Wedding,” newlyweds Queen Paige (Kam Heskin) and King Edvard (Chris Geere) try to escape the spotlight by honeymooning in Belavia but end up uncovering a plot against the Danish monarchy in the television premiere of "The Prince & Me: Holiday Honeymoon” at 7 p.m. Sunday on ABC Family.

Just as the royal couple are set to board their private plane to paradise, Prince Edvard, aka Eddie, comes up with a new game plan and diverts their destination to Belavia, a snowy underdeveloped country under the protection of the Danish monarchy. When the two arrive ready to begin their honeymoon, their goal of romance and relaxation is crushed when they run into Paige’s high school sweetheart, Scott (Adam Croasdell), at their inn, causing Eddie to instantly get jealous.

To make matters worse, they meet Oliver Laertes (Joshua Rubin), who is in Belavia to oversee the building of an oil pipeline for the Danish prime minister — construction Eddie never approved.
