Kate catches Ebola on a humanitarian mission and when Wills rushes to her bedside, his meddling father Prince Charles quashes his long-held air ambulance dreams. Beatrice and Eugenie's new careers as internet make-up sensations are dashed when they discover that the animal face paint they applied for the fancy dress ball doesn't actually come off. Horrified at the thought of being papped while out shopping, they devise an extreme plan.

The family proves itself as 'in touch' as ever as Charles and Camilla try to pass themselves off as lefties, Beatrice nearly kills herself trying to do an actual office job, and Harry gets so drunk trying to distract himself from the fact that Pippa has seemingly moved on with another man that he ends up in a Latvian hospital. Can Edward rescue him, and can Harry win Pippa back before she takes a turn up the aisle with the new object of her affections?
