The elaborately dressed princes and princesses appeared at Taipei Metro’s Dongmen Station, surprising passersby on the street.

Especially when the princes and princesses gathered together in front of the European-style fireplace at MORITA CAFÉ for photos, other customers in the café also raised their phones to capture the moment. The scene was further enhanced by a carefully arranged violin performance, making attendees feel as if they were part of a European royal banquet — enjoying delicious food and elegant lifestyle amidst the soothing melodies. In addition to the European opulence, a luxury car worth millions was parked outside the shop: a unique cobalt-blue Rolls-Royce used in the British royal wedding, one of only eight in the world and the only one in Taiwan. It drew non-stop camera flashes. Finally, the cosplayers took group photos with the million-dollar car outside, allowing passersby to feel the joyful celebration atmosphere of MORITA CAFÉ’s anniversary.
