‘William and Catherine: A Royal Romance’ Airs on Hallmark

William and Catherine: A Royal Romance is a made-for-TV film about the romantic story of the royal couple which airs on Hallmark this Saturday night.

William & Catherine: A Royal Romance stars Alice St. Clair as Kate Middleton and Dan Amboyer as HRH Prince William of Wales.

The movie also features Jane Alexander as HM Queen Elizabeth II and Victor Garber as HRH Prince Charles.

Here is the plot of the movie from IMDB:

Chronicles Prince William and Kate Middleton, as young students at St. Andrews, William’s Army training at Sandhurst Military Academy, their break-up, reunification, engagement and planning of royal nuptials, and advice from William’s grandmother, the Queen.

“We are not afraid to explore the real side of the relationship and the challenges,” Dan Amboyer, who plays William, said while promoting the movie at a meeting of the Television Critics Association.

Alice St. Clair, who portrays Middleton, said. “There is just really a great sense of relationships within the family. So there is William’s relationship with his father and his brother, and you see him calling upon Diana’s interview, and watching this interview that Diana did and using her words to kind of guide him through his troubled moments.”

Garber, who plays Prince Charles, said the recent unavoidable worldwide television wedding event has likely boosted the public mood regarding England’s monarchy. “I think it has done an enormous service to the royal family, and I think that this film really sort of attempts to kind of humanize them,” he said. “I think because enough time has passed since the tragedy of Diana’s death, that they’re sort of being seen in a different way. And I think that William and Kate have definitely had an enormously positive effect on their reputation, on their how they are perceived.” Even Garber’s character has likely enjoyed a boost in popularity, unthinkable once. “I think that he was vilified in a way,” he said. “Over time that has sort of softened, and yes, I think I certainly my opinion of him having has changed somewhat having played him and listened to him. I think he’s kind of an amazing guy, actually.”

The movie is directed by and produced by Emmy® Award-winning producer Linda Yellen (“Playing for Time”).

The movie is scheduled to air August 27, 2011 in the United States on the Hallmark Channel.
