ROYALS GO OVERSEAS AND UNDERCOVER ON TLC'S "SECRET PRINCES"
Season Two of SECRET PRINCES premieres Friday, October 25th at 10/9c
[Los Angeles] - Four royal bachelors are leaving their kingdoms behind and traveling to America on a journey in search of true love on
the second season of TLC's SECRET PRINCES. They are on a valiant mission to meet an American princess who will love them for
who they are, and not for their wealth or titles. The eight-part series, premiering Friday, October 25th at 10/9c, follows these new,
handsome nobles who leave their riches behind and go undercover in Austin, Texas.
"Despite their remarkable upbringing, these four princes are looking for the one thing all of their wealth can't provide; a chance at true
love." says Amy Winter, EVP + GM, TLC "Watching them bond over the shared experience of letting their armor down leads to more
than a journey to find love, but a journey to find themselves."
Ditching their servants, cooks, drivers and staff, they will take on minimum wage jobs, live in a modest home, and learn to dress, act,
and date like average Americans. With limited means to woo their ladies-in-waiting, the men will have to rely on their charm and wit to
find true love. Once their undercover reign comes to an end, the royals will reveal their true identities to their American sweethearts at a
grand ball. The royals may face their first- ever-rejection after the ladies find out they've been lied to, or they may just find the fairytale
ending they were searching for all along.
