Is "A Christmas Prince: The Royal Wedding" Based On Harry & Meghan? Keep Your Eyes Peeled For References - Bustle

A Christmas Prince is back! After the original became a surprise hit on Netflix last year, A Christmas Prince: The Royal Wedding is about to debut on the streaming site Friday, Nov. 30. The first movie wasn"t based on a real couple, but since the new one is about a royal wedding in a year that brought us a very popular royal wedding... Is A Christmas Prince: The Royal Wedding based on Prince Harry and Meghan Markle at all?


Obviously, Amber Moore (Rose McIver) and Prince Richard (Ben Lamb) are not meant to be Markle and Harry, and stories about Americans falling in love with foreign princes (in this case, Aldovian princes) are nothing new. But, seeing as Markle and Harry became such a huge hit as a couple around the time that A Christmas Prince came out (their engagement was announced only 10 days after its release) and continued to be in the year that followed (including their wedding, pregnancy announcement, and much-followed royal tour), it"s no surprise that A Christmas Prince: The Royal Wedding has already referenced the beloved couple and likely will continue to do so in the new movie.


First of all, the sequel was announced on May 18, the day before Harry and Markle"s wedding, in a trailer that showed the main characters tuning in for the nuptials. In the clip, Amber, Richard, Queen Helena, and Princess Emily are all watching the guests arrive and making jokes about Princess Beatrice"s hats while Amber types notes about her own wedding on her laptop. Yep, Netflix is very much aware of the love her reporting notes got after the first film. (Also, Princess Emily is aware of Gary Janetti"s royals memes and apparently refers to him on a last name basis.)

It not totally clear whether direct references to Markle and Harry will appear in the actual movie — this first trailer seemed more like a scene filmed specifically to announce the sequel — but viewers can at least expect some less explicit nods to the pair.


In the full trailer for the movie released in November, Amber is shown preparing for her wedding, including getting her dress and learning how to function as a royal in public — something Markle definitely had to learn, too. Amber is told by Mrs. Averill, "Now that you"re part of the royal family, we must be careful of the image that you project." She"s also told to give up her blog, which, as pointed out by Bustle writer Shannon Carlin, is something Markle also did. That said, Markle"s blog was a lifestyle one and Amber"s is literally about the Aldovian royal family, so Amber should probably just calm down and delete the dang blog.

As for another similarity between the two brides, the dress Amber goes with isn"t just like Markle"s, but it is a not-too-froofy one with long sleeves like the new Duchess:

Will there be more Markle and Harry overlap in the movie? (A joint engagement interview? A rogue relative who won"t stop talking to the media? Commemorative china?) We"ll have to wait until it comes out to see, but you can bet on plenty of Christmas decorations, a ton of sassy comments from Princess Emily, and the whole soiree looking oddly cheap for one thrown by a royal family.

Meghan Markle "secretly flew economy to visit best friend"

BEFORE taking in the West End production of Hamilton with Prince Harry and Lin-Manuel Miranda, Meghan Markle secretly flew economy to Toronto to see her best friend, stylist Jessica Mulroney. “Meghan spent three days holed up at Jessica Mulroney and her husband Ben’s home in Toronto,” ABC News royal contributor Omid Scobie revealed. “They spent their days catching up, cooking together and, of course, playing with Jessica’s children, who love their Aunty Meg.” “There was one evening when Meghan and Jessica secretly headed out into the town to meet some of Meghan’s old, good friends,” Scobie added of Markle’s recent Toronto trip . Mulroney, 38, and her daughter, Ivy, served as bridesmaids for the 37-year-old Duchess of Sussex in the royal wedding in May, with Mulroney’s sons serving as page boys and carrying Markle’s train. Markle and Mulroney first met when she moved to the Ontario city to film Suits in 2011 and have been inseparable ever since. One trip the California-born royal is

All the Ways Jessica Mulroney"s Star Has Risen In The Six Months Since The Royal Wedding

Pre- royal wedding , most Canadians associated the name Mulroney with conservative politicos and red carpet CanCon. But as a certain Duchess of Sussex has ascended, so too has her Canadian bestie, Jessica Mulroney . Just last month, the longtime stylist and social media socialite landed a regular gig on Good Morning America . Next stop? Global domination, we’re sure. Here, we trace Jessica Mulroney’s ascension from who’s-that-girl status to mainstream success. May 19, 2018: A Star Is Born Matron of honour “in all but name” is how most royal watchers describe Jessica’s wedding role (which leads to a score of “ Who Is Jessica Mulroney?”  posts).  Vanity Fair   says the entire event is a Markle/Mulroney co-pro , with Meghan consulting Jessica on everything from clothing selections to canapés, while the gossipy folks at  Page Six zeroed in on her “Pippa moment”  (read: #belfie) — which may or may not have been an accident. Either way, the infamy earned Jess a major spike in her  Insta fol

Meghan Markle, Prince Harry"s royal baby rules: 5 unusual traditions the couple will likely follow - Fox News

Image
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are preparing for royal baby No. 1, which is due to arrive by the end of April. And though they"ll be first-time parents, the pair will have the entire British throne to back them up — and give them a few rules to follow along the way. Many royal enthusiasts tend to agree: the pair is unlike any other royal couple, especially compared to Prince William and Kate Middleton, the Duchess of Cambridge. However, they have stuck to many royal traditions over the past year, and they"ll likely continue some of the years-old customs their relatives have followed before them. In fact, Markle has already vowed to follow one royal rule — keeping the gender of her first child a secret.
