2
3	The mysterious nature of ''Princess Principal'' invites some pretty crazy [=WMGs=].
4	----
5	[[WMG:The Charlotte/Ange Swap is a childhood plot between the two of them]]
6	* They would have swapped in the middle of the Civil War at age 7 or so. Perhaps in hope of reconciling the Commonwealth with the Kingdom eventually.
7	** Sort of confirmed in episode 2. Both Charlotte and Ange developed a plan 10 years ago to bring the wall down.
8	** Jossed: They were separated in the chaos of the revolution, and the original Ange was mistaken for the princess in the confusion.
9
10	[[WMG:Ange and Charlotte, and with them the rest of Team Principal, will go rogue.]]
11	* The two of them already have their own scheme going. When the time is ripe, they'll break ties with Control entirely.
12	** They do have their own scheme going, confirmed in Episode 2.
13
14	[[WMG:Team Principal will get the order to assassinate the Queen.]]
15	* Close enough: They were ordered to assassinate Princess.
16	** Confirmed: The queen is a target of an assassination plot in Episode 12.
17
18	[[WMG:Ange will suffer from Cavorite poisoning at some point.]]
19	* Given that her main gadget is a miniature Cavorite device, it's likely that overexposure or some sort of accident will cause her to be poisoned by it.
20	** If Cavorite poisoning does indeed give its victim some measure of supernatural perception, as implied by Alice's outburst, Ange's poisoning will grant her several important insights. Her handlers' plan to control or eliminate her, for instance.
21
22	[[WMG:Ange's gravity device will overheat, with destructive consequences.]]
23	* The device requires refrigeration after use. It's possible that things will go so badly during a mission that Ange won't have the opportunity to cool it down in time, with explosive and/or toxic results. Alternatively, she'll overheat it on purpose in order to create a makeshift bomb.
24	** Seems to be {{Jossed}}, or at most made very unlikely by Episode 3. The device overheats and the cavorite core breaks, but that just means that it stops working. If it is capable of overloading destructively, it's going to take something a little more extreme.
25	*** Given how Ange constantly checked it, and generally been concerned about it, the implication seems to be that it certainly ''could'' [[ExplosiveOverclocking make a bang]], at least potentially. This not being the case because Ange consciously ''conserved'' it, using it only for softening the otherwise normal parachute landing in the finale, allowing the core to break more-or-less safely.
26
27	[[WMG:A mission will take place on board one of the Albian Royal Air Force's airships.]]
28	* Confirmed: the target for Case 2 is on board the ''HMS Gloucester''.
29
30	[[WMG:The Duke of Normandy will suffer a minor VillainousBreakdown when he discovers the truth about Princess Charlotte.]]
31	* The Duke is the Kingdom's spymaster. It's his business to know about every significant secret in the realm, and to remain in control at all times. So when he finds out that a member of the royal family was replaced right underneath his nose, which he remained unaware of for ''ten years'', he is ''not'' going to take it well.
32	** The Duke discovering the switch (or at least the Charlotte is a spy for the Commonwealth) appears to be part of the plot of the first movie.
33
34	[[WMG:Charlotte - the original Ange - started out as the Princess's BodyDouble.]]
35	* It's quite possible that the unrest that doubtlessly preceded the Albian Revolution already had the Royal Family concerned enough to start using decoys.
36	** Jossed by Episode 8. Pickpocket Ange was just a poor lookalike, and no one knew about this but each other.
37
38	[[WMG:Charlotte and Ange will, at some point, have to go up against the rest of Team Principal.]]
39	* At the end of the opening sequence, as Ange carries Charlotte and [[SeanConneryIsAboutToShootYou aims at the camera]], the camera is rapidly zooming past the other members of Team Principal. In effect, Ange is shown turning her gun on her teammates.
40
41	[[WMG: Ange is male]]
42	* She makes frequent references to the "Black Lizard Planet", which shares a name with a 1968 Japanese film about a man who disguises himself as a female criminal.
43	** Pretty thoroughly {{Jossed}}.
44
45	[[WMG: Dorothy is dead in the final episode]]
46	* During Episode 11 When Dorothy and Angie arrive back at the school and Angie leaves to find Princess, Dorothy stays to tune the car when someone comes to the garage door we don't see who it is and then the scene changes, this could be someone from control here to remove the evidence of the spies and since Dorothy spoke out about not killing Princess they might need to remove her permanently.
47	** Jossed, she's still with Control and worked to undermine the assassination.
48
49	[[WMG: Dorothy has been taken captive and will be used against the Princess in the Final Episode]]
50	* The Person at the Garage door could have threatened/kidnapped Dorothy to use against the Princess in case she gets any ideas during the Takeover War.
51	** Jossed, she's still with Control and worked to undermine the assassination.
52
53	[[WMG:Beatrice's voicebox isn't her only mechanical component]]
54	* After all, given her father's obsession with machines, why would he stop at only one modification?
55	** Episode 5 seems to lend this some additional credence. There are two very distinct metal-on-metal sounds when Beatrice is attacked. Once when taking taking a sword blow to the neck and another when her head hits the wall.
56	*** And where are Beatrice's artificial vocal cords located? Either way it's been jossed by WordOfGod.
57
58	[[WMG: The Prime Minister of the Commonwealth (or the equivalent thereof) will come to London on a state visit.]]
59	* Few things could heat up a cold war conflict more effectively than a violent incident during a significant state visit. The stakes will never have been higher for Team White Dove.
60	** Something close to this happens in Episode 5, when the Team prevents the assassination of the Japanese Ambassador.
61
62	[[WMG: Like Ange and Charlotte, Chise has an agenda independent of her employers'.]]
63
64	[[WMG: The various items and pieces of information retrieved by Team White Dove will be of great importance later.]]
65	* Eric's research notes, the C-ball research team, the Commonwealth intelligence cipher... It would be quite in keeping with the series' penchant for hidden [[ChekhovsGun Chekov's Guns]] for all of these to be essential parts to one great scheme.
66
67	[[WMG: BOTH Ange and Charlotte are noble ...]]
68	* "Without the Wall ..." If one of them were common or of little importance, crossing the Wall to be together should not be a problem.
69	** Jossed as of episode 8. The original Ange was sadly impoverished.
70
71	[[WMG: Ange and Charlotte are half-sisters or cousins]]
72	* The real Ange is a street orphan, but royal men sleep around with servants and prostitutes; the two girls could easily be close blood relatives, as close as half-sisters, explaining their similar appearance.
73
74	[[WMG: The C-ball can be applied to deflect bullets]]
75	* Granted this is a series where Chise can flip cars with her katana, so realism is weak, but Ange charging machine guns (as in episode 3) is less over the top if the C-ball is messing with things around her. And she is glowing green, the sign of activation, for the entire fight.
76
77	[[WMG: Beatrice will die protecting Charlotte...]]
78	* Probably at some point, Team White Dove will be cornered by the Duke's men leading Beatrice to [[TakingTheBullet take a shot]] meant for the princess.
79
80	[[WMG: Some of Team White Dove will survive the series' end]]
81	* Beatrice(above) will die and Ange and Charlotte will die within the throne room. Only Dorothy and Chise will make it out and start new lives.
82
83	[[WMG: The Queen knows that "Princess" is not the real one.]]
84	* Since the Grand Chamberlain, Winston, was able to figure it out, it's likely that the Queen is smart enough to realize that Princess isn't her real granddaughter.
85
86	[[WMG: A member of the royal family (i.e. one of Princess's "siblings") will be murdered.]]
87	* Princess is presently fourth in line for the throne, and she's clearly stated she wants to do something about that. However, due to her demeanor, it is unlikely that she would go so far as killing one of her "siblings". That said, it's entirely possible that someone else will kill one of the heirs and Princess (and the rest of Team White Pigeon) will get caught up in the political disaster that follows.
88	** The [[https://youtu.be/snwc9SnOrbY trailer]] for Chapter 2 of Crown Handler shows this appears to be the case, with Prince Richard being shot in broad daylight.
89	** Confirmed, but it's Prince Edward who is murdered, not Prince Richard. And Richard is the one who ordered Edward's death.
90
91	[[WMG: Team White Pigeon will return to the laundromat from Episode 7 to lay low.]]
92	* The episode was otherwise filler, but it would make a load of sense that the team would return to the place if they needed to hide. However, it is likely that if they do this, they'll still be discovered and the laundry girls will get caught in a crossfire. Princess will then tell the laundry girls the truth, and the girls will offer to help her because of all the team did for them.
93
94	[[WMG: Prince Richard will have Mary murdered and will frame Princess for it.]]
95	* After learning that Prince Richard was responsible for Prince Edward's murder, Princess will refuse to help him, but he will not harm her. Instead, when he makes his second attempt on Mary's life, Team White Pigeon will fail to save Mary, and Princess will be framed. This will force Team White Pigeon into hiding from both the Kingdom and Commonwealth until they can clear their names (or at least prove Richard was the one responsible).
96	** Jossed for now. He has a second attempt made on her life, but this fails, and Richard is afterwards arrested by the Duke of Normandy for suspicion of Edward's murder.
97
98	[[WMG: Prince Richard will bring his army from the New World to Albion.]]
99	* Richard will be exposed as the mastermind behind the deaths of Winston and Edward, and will promptly drop all princely pretenses. He will then escape and call upon his army from the New World (i.e. the Americas) to invade Albion and take it by force.
100	** Half-jossed. Team White Pigeon isn't the one to expose him, but the Duke of Normandy has Richard arrested for the murder of Prince Edward. However, it's still possible that Richard could break out of prison and have his army declare war on Albion. In fact, he looks almost ''glad'' to have been arrested; perhaps he plans for his men, enraged at his arrest, to bust him out and give him a pretext to declare war on Albion.
101
102	[[WMG: Prince Richard will team up with Zelda.]]
103	* Both of them seem to have designs for starting a war between the Kingdom and the Commonwealth that would leave both sides devastated, so it would make sense that Zelda would join forces with Richard if they encountered one another. It's also entirely possible that The General's plot may have been orchestrated by Richard, and that its failure prompted him to take a more direct hand in toppling the Kingdom.
104
105	[[WMG: Charlotte will deliberately reveal that she is an imposter.]]
106	* Being forced into becoming a double agent for the Kingdom, Charlotte will eventually be pushed too far by the Duke of Normandy. In order to screw up one of his plans, she will publicly declare that she is not the real Princess Charlotte. The Duke of Normandy will likely try to kill her as a result, but Charlotte will escape.
107
108	[[WMG: Mary will help Team White Pigeon.]]
109	* Because Dorothy saved her life, and because the other members of Team White Pigeon [[BecauseYouWereNiceToMe were trying to help her]], it's possible that Mary may try to help the team out, even if it puts her life in jeopardy.
