The King's Daughter

The King's Daughter (2022) is a family fantasy you can watch online on iFILM, directed by Sean McNamara. Versailles glitters at its peak, and Louis XIV fears only one thing: death. So he sets out to cheat it.

A court scientist arrives with a wild proposition — the life force of a mermaid captured at sea could grant the king immortality. As the palace prepares its grim ritual, the convent-raised Marie-Josèphe is summoned to Versailles, unaware she is the Sun King's illegitimate daughter. She discovers the caged creature, and the bond that grows between them forces a choice between her royal father and a being marked for slaughter. Pierce Brosnan plays the king, Kaya Scodelario is Marie-Josèphe, and Julie Andrews narrates the tale.

This is a glossy costume fairy tale, all opulent interiors and gentle, bloodless stakes, built for a family movie night rather than grown-up drama. It sat on the shelf for years before release and arrives as a pretty, lightweight diversion for teens and anyone partial to palace romance. Stream The King's Daughter (2022) online on iFILM.
