Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe daughter of a Maharaja is a Maharaj Kumari, not a Maharincess as Lucy and Ethel assume.
- GoofsThe reporter fires off a list of questions, but the answers Lucy gives don't match up. When watching in real time, as the original audience did, no one was likely to notice. The Q&A goes like this: "Your Highness, is it true that Ricky Ricardo is your favorite vocalist?" "Yes." "Do you like any other American performers?" "No." "Well, let me see if I have this straight: you've never seen Ricky Ricardo in person, you first heard his records two years ago and you fell in love with his voice and decided to come to America to see him, your father didn't approve but you came anyway, and you can hardly wait to hear him sing. Is that right?" "Yes, no, yes, yes, yes, no and yes." There should be only four answers, all yes.

Assassin: You have red and black hair of Frenistan royalty. What is secret?
Lucy Ricardo: Alright, I'll give you the secret. Every two weeks a cup of henna to a gallon of water. I'm not a maharincess, I'm a hennarincess!

Featured review
This is a hard-to-watch episode...
Lucille Ball is almost always hilarious, but this is pretty cringy! The dialogue, the costume, the ridiculousness of it is just a bit over the top. It's one thing to be slapstick but this just made the four of them look completely stupid and not in a good way. The only savior is the bit of humor in-between all the idiocy.
