Cheesy Meghan Markle and Prince Harry TV film sequel ‘Becoming Royal’ will examine Kate Middleton ‘feud’ and wedding drama
THE so-called feud between the Sussexes and the Cambridges has been the subject of speculation for months and now royal watchers will be able to see it played out in an all new TV movie.
Following the success of Harry & Meghan: A Royal Romance, US network Lifetsyle has produced a new, and very cheesy, sequel.
Harry & Meghan: Becoming Royal will explore the couple’s first year together from the royal wedding to Meghan’s transition into a Duchess.
It stars American actress Tiffany Smith as Meghan and Poldark star Charlie Field plays Prince Harry in the film that will be released in May.
And the new flick from screenwriter Scarlett Lacey will supposedly approach some of the more contentious issues surrounding the royal couple relying on a combination of both fact and fiction.
Speaking to Vanity Fair Lacey said: ‘This film deals with the drama of planning a wedding: the moment you’d much rather elope, the moment your family might mess it all up – and they nearly do.’
The movie will also explore Meghan’s relationship with sister-in-law Kate which has been the subject on much speculation over the past few months.
Tiffany, who plays Meghan, said: “We got to do some stuff with Kate, which I really liked.”
The Duchess’s strained relationship with her father Thomas Markle also makes it into the script with Tiffany admitting they were difficult to film.
She continued: “The film definitely addresses a lot of the family drama.”
Tiffany, 36, first shared news of her starring role on Instagram last month where she wrote: “So excited to share this royally awesome news… and to share this adventure with you sir, @charlierefield!”
Her co-star Charlie responded writing: “Excited to join this project with @tiffany_smith!” on his own account.
Harry & Meghan: Becoming Royal will air on Lifetime TV on Lifetime TV on May 27.

The actors follow in the footsteps of Parisa Fitz-Henley and Murray Fraser who played the royal couple in the initial Lifetime movie Harry & Meghan: A Royal Romance which coincided with the couple’s wedding last year.
Aside from Tiffany and Charlie, it is thought that the sequel will have a whole new cast with Lacey even enlisting lookalikes to play celebrity guests at the royal wedding.
