Two boys – the prince Edward and the pauper Tom – are born on the same day. Years later, when young teenage Tom sneaks into the palace garden, he meets the prince.

Soon after, the old king dies and the prince will inherit the throne.

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A charming adventure that plays with the fantasy of two boys swapping lives and learning what the other's world truly means. It's a warmhearted romp through Tudor England that lets you enjoy both the comedy of mistaken identity and the genuine stakes of power and privilege.
