When Phillip was a little prince, his parents raised him in a very southern way. He was taught to respect elders and women and also to be very family oriented. But that last part is tough because Phillip can't seem to hold a relationship with anybody. Thats why his advisor, Winston, set up weekly balls at the palace, in hopes of Phillip finding his future queen.
Every time Phillip starts talking to a pretty lady at the balls they always leave after he tells them his age. Phillip only 40 but most of the women believed he was too old so they would always turn him down. Thats why the king was smoking a cigarette on the balcony of the ballroom instead of socializing with the guests.
He was too busy smoking and admiring the view of the garden below to even notice someone joining him on the balcony. He only realized when he turns to go get a beer. He was stunned... she was the most beautiful person he had ever seen. He was just standing there, staring at her, not even realizing he dropped his cigarette.
