Prinsessen er efter sin far, kongen, og hans rådgiveres mening gifteklar. Derfor indbyder kongen alle mulige (og umulige) ungkarle i landet til at komme og fri. Prinsessen ser frierne ankomme og stille sig i kø. En efter en går de op ad den røde løber, kysser hendes hånd og præsenterer sig. Nogle få af bejlerne tiltrækker sig - i hvert fald for en stund - prinsessens opmærksomhed, men ingen er den helt rigtige! Først da kongen indkalder feen, sker der noget...Et ikke-kønsnormativt eventyr om at finde den rette for det er jo ikke alle prinsesser, som længes efter "prinsen på den hvide hest".
