Royal fans among us were excited to learn that US network Lifetime is filming a movie about Prince Harry and Meghan Markle set to be released right before their May wedding.
The film, based on the couple’s romance, is titled Harry & Meghan: The Royal Love Story and comes from the channel which is notorious for their melodramatic flicks.
One such film was William and Kate: The Movie, which in case you missed it’s initial 2011 screening ahead of the royal wedding, told of how Prince William and Kate Middleton met, fell in love and got engaged.
Given it’s from the same company, produced with a similarly tight turn-around of just a few months on what, we’re guessing, is a similar budget, we thought it was worth taking a look at William and Kate: The Movie to see what we can expect from the upcoming flick.
Cheesy dialogue.
The 2011 film was full of awkward, clunky and cheesy lines and we expect this new movie to follow suit.
Scenes like the one where Kate’s character (played by actress Camilla Luddington) describes William (Nico Evers-Swindell) to her friend as “just a guy”, to which her friend replies: “He’s just a guy who happens to be the future king of England.”

I think that this time around, due to the fact that both Harry & Megan are both grown adults. I wonder if there will really be that much enthusiasm for this as they are so much more mature & really knew what they were looking for, prior to the start of their relationship. We also need to keep in mind that Kate & William were so much younger when they met. With all due respect there is so bad that it's "good," I do wonder if this time around whoever produces this movie's going to probably have to be a bit more careful, as people are far more aware of what has gone on especially with the use of social media & Facebook, having probably covered much of what was probably seen as the unknown. The fact also that in a lot of ways this was a far more public relationship than Harry's brother's, and it's clear that Megan is looking to learn & take on the traditions, mores of the royal family. I personally wont bother, as it's probably unlikely to contribute to much of my respect of them, I believe that this romance is very "real" & any movie that follows in the previous "royal" vein I would suggest is most likely to topple into territory that is at best insulting at worst derogatory
