In Winx Club season 3 episode 7, titled "Royal Behavior," the fairy squad from Alfea School for Fairies are introduced to Princess Diaspro, Prince Sky's fiancée, who has arrived at the School of Specialists with her entourage. The Winx are excited to meet her as she seems friendly and fun, but their excitement is quickly stifled when she starts behaving badly and treating others poorly.
The plot of the episode centers around the personalities and expectations of the royals versus the others at the school. Princess Diaspro and her friends are used to getting their way and exerting their power over others, which leads to some of the younger students being taken advantage of and the Winx being disrespected.
One of the subplots of the episode is a misunderstanding between Bloom and Prince Sky. Diaspro makes advances towards the prince, which Bloom misconstrues as him showing interest in her. This leads to some tension between the two, giving the audience a glimpse into the emotional turmoil that comes with teenage relationships.
Throughout the episode, the Winx try to show the princess a different way of behaving through their positive interactions with the younger students and their use of magic to help fix various problems. But, it seems that Diaspro is too set in her ways and continues with her negative behavior.
The climax of the episode occurs when the young students are put in danger because of one of Diaspro's selfish actions. The Winx come to their rescue, displaying their bravery and maturity in the face of danger. This situation forces the royals to reconsider their attitudes and impacts their relationships with their peers.
Overall, "Royal Behavior" emphasizes the importance of treating others with respect and kindness, regardless of one's status or background. It's a lesson that the Winx Club exemplifies and one that viewers can take to heart. As with all episodes of Winx Club, the animation is lively and colorful, and the storytelling is engaging and relatable to its targeted audience of pre-teen girls.
