Hi,

'He (Prince) GETS OVER WITH everyone because he fulfills everyone's illusions'
I know that OVER WITH refers to "finished,done" but I don't understand the meaning here very clear.

Could someone explain it to me?

Thanks, Jo.

I'd say here it means something like "Prince manages to get along with everyone".

That's an unusual phrasal verb. get over = communicate, succeed in being understood, be successful in pleasing (someone).

It seems like some sort of cross between go over well and get along with.
