King Ralph: Difference between revisions

 

After a freak accident wipes out most of the British royal family, the only heir that can be found is American lounge singer Ralph Jones. Accepting the job assuming he won't really have to do anything, Ralph soon learns there's more expected of him. He struggles to become a good king with the help of his chief advisor, Sir Cedric Willingham. A burgeoning romance with Miranda Greene causes problems. She is from a working-class family and is not considered an acceptable match for a king. He also has to deal with the machinations of Lord Percival Graves, who is certain he could become king himself if only he could get Ralph to abdicate, and hopes to use Miranda to do so.

* [[Adipose Rex]]

* [[Aristocrats Are Evil]]: Lord Graves

** If just one of the snooty toffs had grabbed their glass out of the way instead of squealing, it wouldn't have gone as far.

* [[Ermine Cape Effect]]: Averted. When not on state business, Ralph continues to dress the same way he used to.

'''Ralph''': Great. We've got nothing in common and she's got a voice like a tuba. If she had her way, we'd have sex on a bed of nails on national television. But at least the party stinks. }}
