What is the name of the kingdom where Fiona’s parents rule in Shrek 2?

The story behind the answer

Far Far Away is the kingdom where Fiona’s parents rule in Shrek 2.

King Harold and Queen Lillian govern Far Far Away, a large fairy-tale city that Shrek and Fiona visit after their honeymoon. The kingdom’s name parodies the phrase “far, far away,” a familiar opening from traditional fairy tales.

Shrek is anxious about meeting Fiona’s parents because he expects them to reject him as an ogre. Their concerns are complicated by Harold’s history: he was once transformed into a frog and accepted help from the Fairy Godmother, whose son Prince Charming expected to marry Fiona.

Far Far Away becomes the main setting for much of the second film. Its city streets, royal palace, and surrounding locations allow the story to introduce Puss in Boots, the Fairy Godmother, and a wider group of fairy-tale characters.
