It's School Swap Day for Royal Prep and Sofia's old school, Dunwiddie School. Jade is visiting Royal Prep, and during her visit, she finds a portrait of a princess who looks just like her. This may make her a princess, and that means she can attend Royal Prep full time. At first, Jade is excited until she learns that it means leaving her other Dunwiddie friends behind, and she doesn't know how to tell Sofia that she doesn't want to go anymore. Meanwhile, Amber is visiting Dunwiddie School, and when she learns that the classes are different from the ones at Royal Prep, she tries to avoid trying them.
Tropes

- Call-Back: Two from "The Flying Crown": not only does Sofia wear her flying derby team uniform, but the royals sing "Huzzah! Huzzah!".
- "Could Have Avoided This!" Plot: If the plaque on the frame of Frederika's portrait had stated that she was no princess but an architect, Jade could've avoided worrying about hurting Sofia's feelings about not wanting to go to Royal Prep.
- "Shaggy Dog" Story: Jade is assumed to be related to a princess when her great-great-aunt Frederika's portrait is found in the Hall of Royals.

- Strong Family Resemblance: Jade looks exactly like her great-great-aunt Frederika.
