I did think it was odd but I'm not entirely against it. Princes come from far and wide to try to marry Jasmine right? Wouldn't be that weird for one to come from Europe in my opinion. So it could make sense from a story perspective. As long as they don't focus a shit ton of time on him I'm okay with it.
You look EXTREMELY immature when you announce that you're about to ignore someone. No one cares, including the person about to be ignored. Just FYI.
