As you can see from the titles of my articles, I only write about those individuals or teams that have mad PR skills. This blog will inform you of the mad skills of the Grand Duke. Who is the Grand Duke you ask? The Grand Duke is the Palace Public Relations Specialist to the King. I know it’s a long name, so we’ll just call it PPRS to the K. The Grand Duke also played himself in the Disney movie Cinderella.

So, lets talk PR and the Grand Duke. The Grand Duke analyzed the situation of the kingdom. He knew the king would soon go to his grave and reunite with his love. He also knew the recklessness of the prince, and after some informal research, decided the only way to turn a prince into a king is to find him a bride, AKA his true love.

The PPRS to the K had a way with words that always lead the King to make the right decision, especially with regards to the future of the kingdom, and the prince. He planted an idea in the King’s mind (kind of like inception) that there must be a ball, where the prince would, for the good of the kingdom, choose a bride.

Now a little unknown backstory, the Grand Duke and Cinderella were a “thing” in high school. He knew all about her amazing beauty and small feet. He also knew if there was one maiden in the kingdom with a fairy godmother it was Cindy. He also knew of the awful stepmother and sisters Cindy had to live with. In fact they were the reason he dumped her, he couldn’t handle the constant repairs he had to make to his clothes.

Having done his research, and considering what was best for the kingdom, the PPRS to the K invited every eligible maiden to the ball in less than 24 hours. After a single dance, a lost glass slipper, and broken pieces of pumpkin, the Grand Duke designed a plan that involved a shoe fitting of any eligible maiden within the kingdom. This shoe fitting brought the kingdom together in a common cause, which was to find the prince’s true love. Wanting to maintain the suspense of the kingdom, the Grand Duke would save his ex-girlfriend for last.

Recap: Kingdom is brought together in a common goal. Prince finds love. Cindy kisses the PPRS to the K’s forehead, suggesting she has not forgotten him.
