Due to this, the Queen (Erica Durance) is concerned about her daughter’s lack of responsibility and decorum, as Vi refuses to take any sort of Initiative to take on her duties. Moreover, she refuses to follow royal protocols.

Meanwhile, the Queen knows that other royals do, and sees only one way for the princess to learn discipline.
