With less than a week until the royal wedding, fans prepared by watching Lifetime’s Harry & Meghan: A Royal Romance – and they had a lot to say about the film that followed Meghan Markle (played by Parisa Fitz-Henley) and Prince Harry (played by Murray Fraser) through their romance, from the first time they met in 2016 to their engagement announcement in 2017.
For the most part, viewers thoroughly enjoyed the film and took to Twitter to explain why:
Harry and Meghan: A Royal Romance is simultaneously the best and worst thing I’ve ever seen in my life

My beloved, Shakespeare loving, English teaching husband cannot look away from this movie.#ARoyalRomance

Favorite part so far: Prince Harry just compared the difficulties of growing up mixed race in America with being a redhead in England #ARoyalRomance

However, while fans enjoyed the movie, they did not enjoy the casting of Laura Mitchell as Duchess Kate or Burgess Abernethy as Prince William.
