Using an ancient Egyptian formula called Royal Rouge, Desi can temporarily transform into an exact look-alike of any princess who requires her substitute services. Her new agent Meredith helps her navigate this world of princess substitution, but Desi soon learns that subbing involves more than just wearing a tiara and waving at crowds.
