It started out pretty good, then they got to India, and then the pretty boy prince met the charming savage I still clung to hope, and when they got to the spoiled rich princess wanted to run away to be a music teacher, I still clung to hope, but when the Roman prince started to whine about marrying for love, I couldn't watch anymore.
I've been to south Asian countries where poverty is everywhere. Surrounded by so much poverty where it's common to regularly miss meals and live in squalor, it would be unlikely that anyone of wealth would leave willingly. Many times woman seek to marry for any man with a job, even if its a farm worker. Doctors and lawyers can barely make a living because hardly anyone can afford their services, an Asian princess would know this.
In both Asia and Europe, it was common to marry for economics or duty. The concept of marrying for love came into existence around the 19th industrialized century.
It was a nice fairy tale. Good for people who want a Disney-type fairy tale with no basis in reality or history or facts or human nature.
