Watch the first full-length trailer for the Harry and Meghan movie here!

Its official – the romance of Meghan Markle and Prince Harry will be forever immortalised in a new Lifetime movie.

Aptly named Harry & Meghan: A Royal Romance, the new film will tell the entire story of the pairs romance, spanning from their very first blind date in London, through to Harrys proposal at Nottingham Cottage, while the pair enjoyed Meghans favourite dish – roast chicken.

And now, brand new trailer has been released for the film!

The ever-so-slightly cheesy, 30-second clip, begins with a frustrated Harry chatting to bro and sister-in-law Kate and William. The famous party-boy asks in exasparation, “What am I supposed to do, never have fun?”

And a rather sassy Catherine seems to suggest that its time for Hazza to grow up. She replies, “Peter Pan cant stay in Neverland forever.”

Then, of course, everything changes, and Harry meets Meghan. The clip shows the pair on their very first date, and their now famous holiday to Botswana.

The trailer also addresses Meghans background, as an American and a divorcee – with Kate asking, “Are you ready for this?”.

Bu rather heroically, the Prince seems to eschew any problems around their romance, as he proclaims, “She makes me happy, so to hell with tradition!” – aww…

Watch the clip here..

A release date has also been officially been announced for the movie – and it will premiere just before the royal nupitals. The film will be released on 13th May, just days before the actual wedding.

While the film will premiere on US network Lifetime, well also be able to catch it in the UK. It has recently been revealed that the film will be shown on Channel 5!

Its not yet clear when well be able to see it on UK screens, but its likely to be close to the US premiere date.

New pictures have also been released, showing some ADORABLE shots of Harry and Meghan – with one of them enjoying dinner together with William and Kate.

The first is pretty reminiscent of the couples sweet engagement shot – showing them in a close embrace.

How sweet!

Lifetime have also revealed the actor and actress that will play Prince George and Princess Charlotte in the movie – and they are so cute.

The network shared a picture of the entire Cambridge family – and they all look remarkably similar to their real-life counterparts – dont you think?

4-year-old George will be played by Preston Karwat, while Briella Wintraub will be taking on the role of Princess Charlotte.

So cute!

Playing the part of mum and dad, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, is Burgess Abernethy, who will play the Prince. Actress Laura Mitchell will be playing Catherine. And we have to say, all of them are certainly looking the part!

New pictures from the set also recently revealed that Princess Diana will feature in the movie.

Photos of the actress playing Harrys late mother were shared by Parisa Fitz-Henley, who is playing Meghan. While the post has now been deleted, it was revealed that Australian actress Bonnie Soper would be playing the role of Diana.

Bonnie herself also shared the news on her Instagram.

Fans couldnt believe actress Bonnie Sopers likeness to the late Princess, with one fan writing, “Whoa. She looks like she could be Dianas little sister.”

While another agreed, “Woahhhhh creepy good.”

As of yet, its not clear which period in time Diana will appear in in the film. Meghans father, Thomas Markle will also feature in the movie with a young Meghan. So perhaps the film will feature parts of the royal couples childhoods?

Parisa has also shared now-deleted photos of the rest of the cast members, including ones of Murray Fraser, who is playing Harry.

Speaking about the upcoming movie, Lifetime have shared this description…

Harry & Meghan chronicles the courtship and love story between a beloved prince and his new fiancée.

The film will examine the history of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle from the moment they met after being set up by friends, through their initial courtship when they were able to keep their romance under wraps. And ultimately the intense global media attention surrounding their relationship and Meghans life as a divorced American actress.

So it seems likely that the movie will touch on the scrutiny heaped on Meghan – for her race, family and her status as a divorcee.

We have to admit, were pretty excited to see a romantic storytelling of the story of one of our favourite couples of the moment. But is it actually likely to be any good?

When William & Kate: The Movie, was unveiled, it was welcomed with some rather *ahem* harsh criticism.

Newspapers across the UK slammed the production for being cheesy and awful, and it received generally negative reviews in press around the globe. Clichéd lines such as “Youre the heir – Im just the spare,” from Prince Harry attracted attention for all the wrong reasons.

Some also critiqued the film for using American actors to portray members of the British royal family, and shooting many of the scenes in the US, despite it being a very British-based romance. And while the character of Kate was played by British actress Camilla Luddington, William was portrayed by New Zealand actor Nico Evers-Swindell.

At the moment, we dont have any details on the Meghan and Harry movie. And its certainly not yet been announced who will play the engaged couple.

But one things for sure – itll certainly attract a lot of attention when its released!
