Harry & Meghan: A Royal Romance

I enjoyed this. Better than a lot of Lifetime movies. The casting of the actors they found to portray Harry and Meghan are really spot on which helps with the fantasy here.

This made for TV movie deals almost exclusively with Harry and Meghan's relationship with a bit of a sidebar to Harry after Diana's death and Meghan as a young girl in California. We get to see them on their first blind date, their witty banter and instant chemistry and the love affair that follows as they try to fly under the radar with Harry visiting Meghan in Toronto where she is filming Suits. There are trips to Africa, breakups ands makeups and lots of events we remember from the tabloids.

I don't know how much of it story is true? My guess would be none of the personal stuff.

Decent acting though and very good casting especially for Meghan and Harry who look and sound just like the real thing.

Interesting imaginings of what the rest of the royal family are like too; the Queen is nice- a sweet, witty granny, Camilla is funny, Charles also nice, approachable. The portrayal of William and Kate surprised me a bit -proper stuffy and fully sucked into the royal machine. Oh and Diana is represented as a lion.

This is very romantic with some decent love scenes. I found it interesting how Lifetime imagines these personal things happened. Ultimately its a love story and the perfect bit of cheese to watch before or after the royal wedding.
