When the last princess comes on and sings him the sweetest song, it鈥檚 love at first sight. The Queen, however, isn鈥檛 convinced the girl is a real princess and sends her to sleep on a tower of mattresses to see if she feels the pea that has been placed at the bottom of the pile. The girl does in fact have a restless night and passes the princess test.
