   Summary

   Max has seen The Crown on Netflix okay? He knows that royals are meant to be aloof, held back from the public, a little bit distant, a lot untouchable if it means keeping them alive and safe and in one piece.

   But Charles is nothing like that and it’s making his job ten times more difficult.

   Or,

   Charles Leclerc is a Prince of Monaco. Max is assigned to be his bodyguard. Somehow, it shouldn’t work, but eventually it does.

   The Prince/Bodyguard AU that absolutely nobody asked for.
