夏綠蒂因為太矮了而不能成為皇后。儘管她使盡全力懇求卡森王子承認她是最有資格的皇后，卡森王子只能傻傻的笑，告訴夏綠蒂：「不行，你太矮了。」卡森王子不是真的那麼冷血。他需要考慮整個王國的聲譽。他需要一個在皇家典禮中能與他平起平坐的皇后。夏綠蒂的問題不在於與王子坐在一起，她的問題在於其他人看不到她。卡森王子得必須將她放在他的手掌中，並高高的將她舉起，或許還得高過他的頭，她才有可能被看見。卡森王子沒有辦法接受這樣的現實。即使卡森王子非常喜愛夏綠蒂，他不能摒棄常規，他不能讓夏綠蒂成為他的皇后。

Charlotte is too short to be a queen. No matter how much she supplicates Prince Karlson for recognition that she is the most qualified queen he could ever have, Prince Karlson cannot do anything but smirk and say: “You are too short.” Prince Karlson is not really cold-blooded. He needs to consider the reputation of his kingdom. He needs a queen who can sit elegantly next to him when he receives royal guests and kings from other kingdoms. The problem is not about sitting elegantly. Charlotte can do that, too. The problem is to be seen. Prince Karlson needs to let his queen to be seen. Charlotte argues that she can be seen, too. But she cannot be seen that way. Prince Karlson would have to let Charlotte stand on his palm, and raise her highly above his head. It doesn’t work that way. Prince Karson cannot accept that. Even though he loves Charlotte, he cannot abandon conventions. Charlotte cannot be his queen.
