“When it comes to Princes, you need an Heir and a Spare”…
In this version of the Cinderella Story, the Spare Prince is the real hero and Prince Charming is anything but.
Most everything else in this tale is as you remember it, with one or two Pantofications; Cinderella is still a cleaner for the Ugli Sisters, and their mother certainly has a way with Wordle. The Fairly Godmother is actually in training and the King has an inexplicable love for local GAA.
There is a ball, a lost slipper and a painstaking search for its owner … and the Queen is a bit evil. Almost forgot that bit!!!
