Royal Rendezvous (2023 TV Movie)
4/10
beautiful scenery, but mediocre movie
23 July 2023
The Irish scenery was beautiful. And kudos to the production company for hiring so many Irish actors so we didn't have to suffer through fake brogues. The movie worked great as a travelogue with real location scenery (not Vancouver doubling as Ireland) and real Irish people. But the female lead was a caricature of a hip young Hispanic woman. The wardrobe choices were awful! She should have been wearing a sign saying "Here I am really trying to stick out and not fit in" She was a total cliché. And those 2 pieces of hair hanging in her face over food was gross and should not happen. But PLEASE do the slightest bit of research. #1. Old landed families with hereditary titles are members of the British aristocracy, not royalty. No one curtsies for them or treats a Duchess like the Queen waiting for her to start tea before anyone else may. #2. The titles and estates remain from the centuries of British occupation - the titles are not Irish. Anyone in 20th Century Ireland who styles themselves with a noble title is actually British. Those titles and the estate lands that came with them were awarded by the Monarch - maybe hundreds of years and many generations prior - and non-British citizens can't hold them except through marriage to a titled British citizen (Meghan Markel is addressed as a Duchess, Cora Crawley was addressed as a Countess through her marriage to an Earl) End of history lesson.
