Fourteen Australian princesses-in-training come together in Sydney and are put through several challenges before the first eliminations.

Eight princesses are paraded around this week with a series of public engagements. They also have their first brush with real royalty.

The seven princesses learn about Royal Sport, including polo and archery.

The remaining six ladies are challenged to create a garden party fit for a princess.

The lucky five princesses left take off for Britain, where they are escorted on a tour of London by five young gentlemen. But as always, a challenge awaits them, as they all struggle to stay in the game.

This week, the ladies learn about public speaking as well as the importance of the written word. Which one is writing her farewell speech this week?

Three ladies remain, but only one will have a dance with the prince at the ball and be crowned the Australian Princess.
