At the start of American Royals, Daphne is explaining how her Prince Jefferson broke up when she caught him with another girl in his bed. Shortly after that she receives a call from Jefferson where he has a rehearsed speech to break up with her, she then calls her source at the Daily Mail to make sure that her version of the story is heard first and that the break up was mutual, she also lets the public believe that there is a chance of reconcile between her and Jeff.
