This fairy tale by British actor, author, and YouTuber Olly Pike (2015), shares the same basic storyline as King & King and Prince & Knight: A prince’s parents decide the time has come for him to marry, and try to find him a suitable spouse. Unlike the parents in the other two tales, however, they invite both princes and princesses to come and meet their son. They also do not make an initial assumption that their son is straight. The assumption in Prince & Knight and King & King might seem more realistic to us, in a society that still emphasizes a straight default—but in a fairy tale, realism is overrated. Prince Henry has the distinction of envisioning the most accepting world from the very start (although to their credit, the parents in all these tales immediately accept their sons’ choices, once made).
