I'm looking forward to part 2! It's not one of your boring royalty movies, and it's adorable! It's a natural comedy and romance, like how a natural relationship should be experienced.
Flick Chick, but if you are inspired with royalties with romance and a touch of humor. I recommend watching this! It doesn't complicate anything, it's a mere scenario where anything can turn around, and problems can be solved with "SMART goals". It doesn't need complex plot twists and intense drama, as it simply acquires "simplicity in its beauty."
I love Hallmark movies, and they never fail to amuse and catch my attention, especially when I am in a "movie mood". This movie just fits the moment.

6.7 stars.
If I were rating the scrip, dialogue and overall entertainment value only, this would be a 5.7. But I must take into account the cinematography, story, mood and setting, and other various aspects that felt quite adeptly presented.
The overall production is obviously on a higher plane than your average Hallmark, and everything felt like it should have wowed. But there were a few major factors that fell well short of the mark. For me, entertainment value is the most important, which this movie lacks. A close second, which generally goes hand in hand is rewatchability, and I have no desire to revisit this film.
'The Royal We' is simply missing chemistry and urgency, there's no yearning for love, no anticipation, no flow. It's just a very nice movie with no substance. It does not evoke an emotional reaction.
I really like the lead female, thus I raise my rating another bit from 6.0 to 6.4, and the ending was somewhat endearing, thus elevating it to 6.7, so as to round up to 7. This is for the sake of consistency, because good quality movie making and high production value account for something.

Good plot but wardrobe failure. If the goal of the movie producers and costume designer was to make the Princess/would be Queen look 50 years old--mission accomplished. Her royal wardrobe was frumpy, boring, and just plain ugly. I agree with other reviewers that movie plot was above average and nice to see new faces from Hallmark. How could this happen when there are good examples to use for royal fashion inspiration in Princess Catherine of UK and Queen Leticia of Spain. I've not written a review on this site before andI have very rarely had an issue with wardrobe. It's a sad misstep --especially as the actress playing the Princess/would-be Queen is lovely. She deserved to be better dressed.
This was a fun trip into the Hallmark alternate universe. Some parts of that universe are just a little different (no worries walking late at night, no one strutting around with guns) but this is the part with many small countries with people speaking in posh English accents.
What makes or breaks a Hallmark movie are relatable characters (even if they are royalty) and writing that shows some respect for the audience within the rules of that universe. This movie delivers on both with the added bonus of beautiful scenery, clearly being made before money was funneled elsewhere and movies were given short shrift. The leads are adorable, and you are rooting for them all the way. No fainting princesses or overbearing princes here- truly a modern fairy tale with a bright, inspiring and empowered princess.
OK- watched again and added a star. I so much enjoyed a story with two nice people who are equals. Not one rich/one poor or royal/commoner or boss/employee. The actors are so perfectly matched and charming together it may make it hard for them to move on to other co-stars :-) And the supporting cast being over the top seems so appropriate for a fairy tale. So definitely recommend for Hallmark fans.

Sit back, relax be ready for a movie that shouldn't be taken too seriously and just enjoy the fun!
This is the story of Princess Bea, who has lived her life in Boston, away from her royal duties and obligations. Her older sister, Coralina elopes with a plumber, so now Bea must step in and honor the arranged marriage to help end a conflict and establish peace between two countries. Bea reluctantly agrees to the marriage. Bea asks her long time college friend and business partner, Chloe, to accompany her to her home country for the wedding. She meets her fiancée, Crown Prince Desmond and encourages him to break royal protocol, and take time to be more authentic, spontaneous and just have some fun and enjoy life.
Mallory Jansen is my favorite Hallmark female actress, and she is perfectly cast as Princess Bea, and plays the role superbly! Charlie Carrick plays Desmond and does an excellent job as the Crown Prince. The two have great chemistry together, although there were several magical scenes with the couple, I just wish they incorporated a bit more actual romance between Bea and Desmond to emphasize that they were falling for one another. On a sour note I felt Chloe and the two country Kings overacted in their roles. The rest of the supporting cast was fine. Overall, the witty and humorous dialogue, the beautiful scenery, and acting of Jansen and Carrick make this a cute engaging movie that holds your interest and keeps you entertained!
