The 20 hopefuls are whisked off to New York where they meet with etiquette expert Jean Broke-Smith for a lesson on making a good first impression. Next the ladies go on a shopping trip to prepare for their first cocktail party. The party will be their opportunity to impress the judges who will select 10 of the women to go on to London for more formal princess training

The lucky ten chosen finalists make their journey to England, where they train to take afternoon tea, prepare to be escorted by society gentlemen and get ready for an important society engagement.

The remaining royal-hopefuls must now master the waltz, impress their beaus, and then later, charm the handsome Richard Branson at a black-tie dinner event.

The next challenges that the leftover Princess-wannabes face are that of a polo match and clay-shooting.

The four remaining contestants meet a genuine princess, Tamara Czartoryski-Borbon, who will send them on a royal-themed obstacle course through London! And then later, the ladies will each have to deliver a speech before a panel of tough critics.

The final three Princesses-in-training must now face their harshest critics as they strive to become the lucky lady crowned as the first American Princess.
