King Ralph (1991)

In the wake of a bizarre tragedy that wipes out the British Royal family, the desperate pursuit for a new sovereign unfolds. Unearthed from the obscure branches of the royal genealogical tree, the unlikely heir to the throne is revealed to be Ralph Jones - a quintessentially American lounge singer, more at home under neon lights than a royal crown. Initially, the reluctant Ralph resists the call of royal duty, but the persuasive charm of the British parliament prevails. Once crowned, Ralph finds himself in a world of regal splendor and treacherous politics. Among the ancient corridors of power, a disgruntled Lord, hungry for the throne, deems Ralph unworthy. Secretly, he crafts a vicious plot to render the American King undesirable, with his sights set on Ralph's budding affection for a charismatic stripper. Simultaneously, Ralph grapples with the stringent protocols imposed by his new royal staff. The weight of his unexpected kingship, encased in a golden straitjacket of rules, leaves him second guessing his acceptance of the crown. Can Ralph, the unconventional monarch, rise above the palace intrigue and adapt to the grandeur of his new position? Or will the insidious plot and the stifling royal customs prove too much for the lounge singer turned king? "King Ralph" is a delightful intertwining of old-world nobility and new-age audacity, making it a royal tale like no other.

King Ralph is a comedy movie featuring John Goodman.
