It’s done. The third “Prince Charming”, automobile salesman Kim Tränka (31), has also found his love. The final episode has been available on RTL streaming service TVNOW since Tuesday (October 12).
“To be ensnared by 18 men and to have a special role, that is a feeling, that is unbelievable,” explains Prince Kim right at the beginning of the final episode in Crete. He had already said goodbye to 16 men in eight episodes – in the final, Robin (23) and Maurice (22) were waiting for their final dates “to find out what really is,” says Kim.

That happens in the final
Maurice “burns” for the prince and wants to show him “that I mean business”. Robin’s experience is that it’s “okay when the dams break and you just cry with snot and water”. Both adore “Prince Charming” – only Maurice (called Mo) has had a “total crush” on Kim for several episodes.
“I think I’m at a point where I’ve already let Kim go very far and have been very honest with him and I think that makes me very, very vulnerable and that’s what I’m scared of most of all,” sums up Robin , meanwhile Maurice goes on his final date. “My heart would be broken if things didn’t go well here,” the 22-year-old announced in advance.
On the last one-on-one date in Crete, Maurice expects a quad tour with the prince – “rattling through the area” and planting an olive tree included.

Maurice’s conclusion: “It just matches!” And Kim? With Maurice, he thinks that “every kiss is as if it were the first”. And that Maurice can lend a hand would “not be wrong either”.

Meanwhile, in the candidate villa, Robin is waiting for a video call with his mom, in which he confesses to her that he “is actually not that emotional” and that somehow “everything is too much”. In the single player he then reveals that he doesn’t always know “where the journey is going” and “what I actually want”.
Granted: In such a format he could have guessed what he was getting into.

Meanwhile, home-made heart-shaped pizza is on the dinner menu for Maurice. The two of them enjoy the sunset on Crete together on a roof terrace.
“It couldn’t be better,” says Kim at this moment and Maurice starts the kissing attack again – and of course stays overnight.

A few tears and breakfast later, it’s Robin’s turn. For his last single date, the prince invites him to take a boat tour together – including snorkeling.
Robin first expresses his concerns about throwing up on the boat, but he can’t get around to so much smooching.

The prince says of Robin: “I find him incredibly attractive and like to be around him.” Then it’s off to your clothes and into your flippers. Apart from stones, there isn’t much to see under water. Well, except for each other.
Doesn’t bother either of them at first, except for Robin – who suddenly gets sick. Which of course is only due to the waves. But that too will quickly pass.

His best friend is waiting for Maurice in the villa – also by video call. It gets really emotional again, because the girlfriend doesn’t know the prince. Then Maurice confesses to his girlfriend that he fell in love “on TV, of all places” and can no longer hold back his tears.
He too can now put his feelings for Kim on paper.
Robin and his very personal “Batman” are back on solid ground and are strolling together on the small island of Loutro to another villa with a dream view. Practical: you can’t get out of here without a boat.
Kim hopes that “good food, good wine and good conversation” should follow here too. It is then discussed again in detail when a man prefers to have sex at what time of day, how and when man has “lived out” the most.
Oh, and that Kim would say “never never” when it comes to an open relationship. “But only in a few years,” he assures Robin.

A mega sunbathing lawn is available to clarify that “eyes and teeth” are the prince’s first eye-catchers. “Or when someone laughs a lot, like you,” says Kim and this time starts to kiss himself.
Even the last breakfast we shared with Robin comes to an end and he is certain: “Kim, you can do it”. Because the prince has to make a decision on the same evening. Another kiss that “tastes like insect repellent” and Robin’s last date is over.

The grand finale
Time for Prince Kim to read the letters from his two finalists. Maurice adores him already totally in love with it, Robin doesn’t yet know exactly “what else it can be with us” because one comes “from different worlds”.
At “Prince Charming” there are no red roses, but black ties. And that is exactly what one of the two men has to hand over.
The big showdown takes place again in the candidate villa, the production company had an extra three dozen meters of red carpet laid out, plus there are plenty of fire bowls and a prince in a black suit with a neat bow tie.

Robin does without them – he still has his tie. The Berliner left off the shirt at the same time. “A kiss with you is from tender to wild, everything is included,” Kim Robin flatters at first. Kim’s parents are also “convinced” of him.
Maurice comes to the prince in a partner look – with a shirt and tie.
“My feelings grew with you,” Kim confesses to Maurice, “and everything in me started to tingle”.

The all-important sentence then follows Robin: “I have developed too few feelings and my heart goes to Maurice!” Boom!
Robin seems to be more relaxed about this than Maurice probably would have done. Nevertheless, he is disappointed. Tie off, a thank you to the prince and the hope that “it will turn into a friendship” – this is how Robin now leaves the villa.
“I’m in love with you”
Then Maurice gets his stone back, a kind of talisman that they swapped back and forth at every meeting throughout the season.

“Maurice, I’m in love with you and I can imagine a future together with you,” Kim bursts out. The 22-year-old is speechless at first, and Kim still has to find out whether Maurice wants to keep the tie at all.
But Kim doesn’t get that far anymore, because Maurice starts the smooch attack again. “Is that a yes?”, Kim wants to know after all and Maurice has long been on cloud nine and only mumbles “Mmmhh …”.
Fireworks, music and a lot of kisses. The “Prince Charming” couple in 2021 has found each other! Let’s call it “KimMo”.
We’ll find out whether “KimMo” are still together today (the broadcast was recorded a few weeks ago) in the big reunion show on October 19th on TVNOW. In any case, the preview trailer promises a lot of tweaking – after all, almost all of the former candidates are there.
