The ending of Netflix's The Royal Treatment ties up loose ends with a happily ever after that differs slightly from other more traditional rom-com.
Netflix’s lately released rom-com The Royal Treatment has a satisfying ending that moves slightly down from traditional romantic slapstick but leads to a quip and fun resolution for its central characters. The Royal Treatment was released on Netflix on January 20, getting part of the lengthy list of romantic slapsticks produced by the streaming mammoth. Shot in different locales in New Zealand, the utmost of the rom-com’s action is divided between New York City and the fictional country of Lavonia.
The Royal Treatment focuses on cheery and kind hairstylist Isabella (Laura Marano), proprietor of a down-on-its-luck hair salon in New York. Her family’s fortune seems to change when she receives a call from Walter (Cameron Rhodes), the adjunct and butler to Prince Thomas of Lavonia (Aladdin's Mena Massoud), asking for their hairdressing services for Napoleon. Thomas and Izzy’s quick fellowship leads her, along with musketeers and co-workers Fortune (Chelsie Preston Crayford) and Lola (Grace Bentley-Tsibuah), to be reserved for hair and make-up at Napoleon’s forthcoming marriage. Still, as Izzy and Thomas get near, the effects come more delicate for Napoleon, who must marry to fulfill his royal duties.
The Royal Treatment is light and easy to watch, offering an ultramodern Cinderella retelling without an evil mammy, although the part could be embodied by Doug (Jay Simon), who manages the structure where Izzy’s salon is located. The Netflix Original’s ending is satisfying for both her and Prince Thomas, who eventually stands up to his parents and finds his way in the world. As for Izzy, she's eventually suitable to leave behind her hairdressing days and fulfill her pretensions, making it a joyous ending. Then is The Royal Treatment's ending explained?
Why Thomas Chooses To Be With Izzy In The Royal Treatment's Ending
Out of all of The Royal Treatment characters, Prince Thomas seems to have the least control over his life. Although that aspect is particularly apt for representing what life as a royal is like in real life, in the case of Massoud’s Thomas, he can’t indeed decide what to do with the power he wields. Meeting Izzy is hugely stimulating for him. She's notoriety who isn't only tone-made but who also calls out every injustice she sees, indeed when it’s committed by the royal cortege. As it's also passively championed by Napoleon, who ignores it, she also forces him to examine himself and figure out who he wants to be.
Choosing Izzy for himself is an important step for Prince Thomas, as he noway had the chance to choose anything in history. His father decided how Thomas should have made himself useful for the royal family, and he has no influence over the matter, despite it being his life. This leaves him little room to maneuver, leading Thomas to make his decision in the only area in which he has control, his marriage. By calling it off, not only does Thomas admire the wishes of his fiancée Lauren (Phoenix Connolly), who also is being forced to marry, but he also frees himself from his parents’ control. By choosing Isabella, he is choosing for himself to marry for love rather than duty.
Why Izzy Needed To Leave The Salon & What It Means
As Izzy, in The War With Grandpa’s Laura Marano is also trapped like Prince Thomas. She has other interests and solicitations that she's not suitable to pursue. She wants to travel, but she also loves working with kiddies, and when Nate (James Gaylyn) offers her a job at the community center he runs to her, and she's interested. Anytime she shows interest in a commodity other than the hairdressing salon, still, her mama Valentina (Amanda Billing) overrides Izzy's wishes and shuts off any possible volition. Valentina is so controlling that she originally indeed opposes Izzy, Fortune, and Lola leaving for Lavonia for the marriage, despite the salon demanding the plutocrat that the gig would bring. As she's exorbitantly defensive of Izzy, Valentina smothers Izzy’s ambition. That’s why Izzy eventually decides to accept Nate’s offer to work at the community center. Her time with Thomas teaches her that she can attain everything she wants, so she stops delaying her dreams and starts a new long-awaited chapter.
How The Royal Treatment Set Up Destiny & Lola's Salon Future
What We Do In The Shadow actor Preston Crayford’s Fortune and Bentley-Tsibuah’s Lola also go through a glowing metamorphosis in The Royal Treatment. Despite always being positive characters, in the morning, they are kindly clumsy and inept, indeed in their line of work. They were slightly competent as inferior salon sidekicks, let alone helping to run the salon. Still, their time in Lavonia with Madame Fabre (Sonia Gray) tutoring them on how to cut the hair “ the royals way,” although a horrible experience, made them more responsible. With Izzy leaving the business, Fortune and Lola will have to step up. With their newfound maturity and hairstylist chops, their future in the salon will presumably bring them to a further central part, as they're now characters Valentina can calculate on.
How Thomas & Izzy's Storylines & Endings Mirror Each Other
Although their love story is central to the plot of The Royal Treatment, Thomas’ growth as a character glasses Izzy’s. Both Thomas and Izzy feel trapped without realizing it on the morning of the movie. When Walter tells Thomas a story from his history about how he left his squeeze Robert for a good job, he encourages Napoleon to follow his heart and not make the same mistake he did. In doing so, he influences Thomas to eventually break away from his father and mammy’s controlling wishes, and Thomas foregoes his outdated duty for love.
Also, Izzy feels the weight of her mama Valentina’s worries, especially when she wants to pursue other careers beyond hairdressing and break free from her mama's dream that Izzy will take over the salon one day. Izzy believes she can not do what her heart wishes but, by helping her stock up on toys to give to the children of Lavonia, Thomas shows her she can. Izzy and Thomas started in veritably different circumstances at the morning of the movie with both on fully different paths. But by The Royal Treatment's ending, they find themselves not only on the same life path but also at the same point in it. Together, they are eventually mindfully choosing their path in life.
Will There Be A Royal Treatment 2?
The Royal Treatment’s end is complete, not leaving important unanswered and furnishing a befitting end for Thomas and Izzy, as they both grow plentifully and are veritably different people from who they were at the launch. Still, that will not inescapably help an implicit effect if the Netflix Original were to have the success of other former rom-com simply made for the streaming platform. It could indeed come as part of Netflix's vacation movie/ rom-com macrocosm. Whether or not that happens, an effect to The Royal Treatment would make an also easy and delightful movie to watch, just like its first investment.
