The fairytale romance between Prince Harry and Meghan Markle started when the two of them met on a blind date arranged by a mutual friend. Their story is being made into a movie with an international cast. The production activities began in early February in Los Angeles and in Vancouver and is moving at a fast pace. The much-awaited movie “Harry & Meghan: A Royal Romance” is all about a member of the British Royal family and an American actress, and is planned to be released before their wedding.
According to Daily Mail UK, Lifetime network has already announced that the movie will air on Sunday, May 13 much before the marriage ceremony scheduled for May 19.
The movie has an international cast
Lifetime network has confirmed that “Harry & Meghan: A Royal Romance” will recreate the relationship between Prince Harry and Meghan Markle right from their first meeting. Lifetime has made public the first pictures of the original film, and it seems the choice of the cast will gel with the viewers.
British actor Murray Fraser had acted in “The Lock” and will portray the role of the Prince. Parisa Fitz-Henley has experience in acting and has acted in “Midnight Texas.” She is a Jamaican-American actress and will be seen as Meghan Markle.
As to other roles, Maggie Sullivan will be the Queen. Maggie is a Canadian actress and has done memorable roles in the TV.
Princess Diana will come alive on the screen courtesy Bonnie Soper who is a soap star from New Zealand. Australian actor Burgess Abernethy will be seen in the role of Prince William while Laura Mitchell will be Kate Middleton.
Other important characters in the movie are Prince Charles played by Steve Coulter, a British actor.
The role of Camilla Bowles will be done by Deborah Ramsay who is an accomplished actress.
The story in brief
“Harry & Meghan: A Royal Romance” will follow their initial courtship. Lifetime network has not disclosed much which is understandable. The viewer will have to wait for its release before they can embark on the adventure and share the experience of how Prince Harry and Meghan Markle managed to stay away from the glare of publicity and keep their affair a secret.
Lifetime did the earlier movie on the marriage of Prince William, Harry’s older brother. It was “William & Kate: The Movie” in 2011. Their story was quite different to that of Harry and Meghan because Kate was of British origin while Meghan is an American actress and a divorcee. The audience will have plenty of expectations, and the movie should be a memorable one.
