'The Masked Singer' Season 12 Episode 9 titled 'Group C Finals: A Peanuts Thanksgiving' featured the unmasking of the Royal Knight and Sherlock Hound. During the Thanksgiving special episode which aired on Thursday, November 28, Royal Knight flaunted her beautiful vocals by performing 'Holiday' by Madonna. Royal Knight's final clue revealed that she was a best-selling author. Soon after, the judges made their guesses. Ken Jeong named Kelly Ripa, and Rita Ora predicted Anna Faris, while Jenny McCarthy-Wahlberg guessed Jana Kramer and Robin Thicke thought it was Busy Philipps.

In the end, Jenny made the correct guess. It was revealed 'One Tree Hill' actress and renowned country singer, Jana Kramer who was disguised under the Royal Knight mask on 'The Masked Singer' Season 12. For those of you unversed, Jana's best-selling book is 'The Next Chapter: Making Peace with Hard Memories, Finding Hope All Around Me, and Clearing Space for Good Things to Come' which was published in 2023. Along with this, she also served as a co-author for another book named 'The Good Fight: Wanting to Leave, Choosing to Stay, and the Powerful Practice.'
