The narrative assertion
"Zadek's revelation that Prince Reynart has been kidnapped by Grendel directly leads to the Doctor's decision to use an android double (George) for the coronation, setting off the entire plot of impersonation and rescue. The Prince's kidnapping is the inciting incident that forces the Doctor into Taran politics and personal stakes."
