Same, I hate when a couple just seems equal in the surface, but then in private the man still does his sh1t, regardless of his wife's opinion. Also, his words of 'everything will be ok' are so condescending! And yeah, I love her family but the mom is a woman who's proved to be smart and wise in basically everything (no wonder she came from such an influential family and no wonder her current position is so important as well), she's also revealing important stuff to be validly worried about, so how the husband can still pretend to care about his wife's opinion when he's ignoring her words and went directly to manipulate his 4yo daughter? Is that ok?
Because that's what makes me nervous the most, that he acting as if it weren't a big deal regardless of everything.
After all, it seems that he's willing to expose his baby daughter to a bunch of complicated political stuff, to use her as a 'healing tool' for another kid (which meh, it's troublesome for many reasons, I hate when the sh1t of "women have to heal men" appears, pfft), and this is where everything is pointing out, because if it was just about helping the Prince to become emotionally healthier, then her older brother would suffice because he could become his friend, but no, she has to go as well.
Think about it, why does he have to send his little girl to be exposed to a risky situation, where regardless of the outcome, she'll have to endure a bunch of political gossips at the age of 4? Even if going to the Palace would be inevitable, the father should have told his daughter the truth (for a 4-year-old kid) and explaining to her that the Palace is not the safest place, so she has the right to decide what to do. That'd be the right thing but nah. Just because the father is hot and smiles all the time doesn't erase his sh1t, ty.
