@Angel058 That's what I think. The king has no one who can be even a distant heir, and there's this kid with a "g**-given" gift of intuition (you know they PR'd the he** out of that) and who is pretty smart. They could've pulled what Prince Edward did in the movie A Knight's Tale and "through careful research" cough cough have discovered he had a noble bloodline, to satisfy the nitpickers.
