Well, considering it's a made-for-TV Lifetime movie heavy on British cliches and surely - SURELY! - with a truck load of creative license taken, "Harry & Meghan: A Royal Romance" is actually pretty good. I mean, it isn't going to win any awards, but this a fictionalised version of the royal romance that just about broke the internet, has it's moments.
The shadow of racism that seemed to hang over the whole thing is not shied away from, which I thought was a brave choice that elevates the production, and there is some good acting in places from the cast. There are some cringeworthy moments as well, but you take the good with the bad in a movie like this.
A note on casting: Parisa Fitz-Henley looks a lot like Meghan Markle and from certain angles, Murray Fraser bears more than a passing resemblance to Prince Harry. Some of the other casting decisions are a little off, but you can't win them all. Fitz-Henley and Fraser have good chemistry, and their romantic scenes are quite well done, as well.
