The Royals From 'A Christmas Prince' Show Up in 'Princess Switch 2' & Fans Are Getting Confused About Netflix's Christmas Movie Connections
If you watched The Princess Switch: Switched Again on Netflix this weekend, you weren’t alone – and you also weren’t alone in your surprise when King Richard and Queen Amber from A Christmas Prince show up!
Fans all across social media were first delighted when they saw the Aldovian royal family at Duchess Margaret’s coronation.

But that turned to confusion about how Netflix’s Christmas movies were all connected, since in the first Princess Switch movie, Margaret and Kevin actually watched A Christmas Prince on Netflix in the movie. But now, Amber and Richard are there in real life!
Just watched The Princess Switch 2. Now how on earth did King Richard and Queen Amber of Aldovia attend Margaret's coronation when in TPS1 they were literally watching A Christmas Prince?! Netflix universe is glitching.

Last year, it was revealed that it’s not just these two movies that are connected.
The Knight Before Christmas (also starring Vanessa Hudgens), Holiday Calendar, The Christmas Inheritance, and Holiday in the Wild are also entangled in the Christmas Movie Universe.
“It felt like a natural fit to show one of our other films available on Netflix,” Amanda Phillips Atkins, EVP of production company MPCA that produced the films, shared about the connections. “That one seed of an idea soon turned into fun opportunity to tie the various worlds together with small easter eggs from movie to movie.”
Netflix even put together a map of just how they all were connected. See it here!
While the Christmas Movie Universe might be glitching a bit, fans are still here for the connections and have some brilliant ideas for the future movies.
Check out what the fans are saying inside…
Ok since Aldovia exists in The Christmas Prince and The Knight Before Christmas and Belgravia exists in The Christmas Prince and The Princess Switch that means Belgravia also exists in the Knight Before Christmas which means in this universe there are 4 Vanessa Hudgens

My amazing sequel idea for #PrincessSwitch 3: #AChristmasPrince 4 – #TheKnightBeforeChristmas 2!
Let’s get one of these @VanessaHudgens to go to the past with the knight, while another Hudgens has to switch with preggers Hudgens as they vaca in Aldovia!
Hit me up @netflix 💰💸

the "christmas prince" cameo in "the princess switch: switched again" was perfect. belgarvia and aldovia are allies. i wonder how genovia fits into this mix….

in the 1st princess switch margaret & kevin watch a xmas prince but in the 2nd princess switch the characters from that movie are at margaret’s coronation meaning either margaret & kevin watched a documentary about aldovia or this is a HUGE continuity error. in this essay i will pic.twitter.com/ws3M0o30Z3

I say they exist in the same universe because Aldovia (the Christmas Prince kingdom) movie is mentioned in KBC and the main characters from that movie show up in the second Princess Switch movie sooooooo

So will The Princess Switch 3 be based around discovering that Brooke from The Knight Before Christmas exists now that @Netflix has confirmed that Belgravia, Aldovia, Montenaro and America exist in the same universe?

The Princess Switch 3 (2022) will prove that Vanessa Hudgens' character Brooke from 2019's The Knight Before Christmas is a fourth member of the chromosomal batch grown by Santa Claus (Kurt Russell) to overthrow the powerful Queen of Aldovia (Rose McIver). In this Wendy's I will

In the third #PrincessSwitch movie- Vanessa Hudgens will play a fourth character who will be an immigrant from the land of Aldovia and she will be the distant cousin of Margaret’s uncles illegitimate wife’s brother.

Meaning all three exist in the same universe; the VHECU, or Vanessa Hudgens Extended Christmas Universe, if you will.

Vanessa did open up about playing a fourth look a like in The Princess Switch movies, too…
