What if the Problem is the false identity she has accepted?
What if the Problem is how she sees herself?

Which – by the way – would make it a lot easier for the Handsome Prince to find her because she would be in plain sight rather than hiding – or being hidden by the lies that have surrounded her. A Double Win!!
