This film goes over the same territory as the Lifetime edition (however bad the Lifetime edition is better than this one). The story begins with a "meet cute" scene between William and Kate--he turns to talk to his security officer and bumps into her, spilling out the contents of the laundry on the floor. As he helps her he picks up her black bra, she swiftly takes it from him. As he has his security officer escort her and the laundry to her room he spots a Poster of himself on Kate's wall (which contradicts Kate's saying in an interview that she never had poster of William on the wall--did the script writers slip up in their research?). Then William gradually (after flirting with various blondes) that Kate is the woman for him--particularly after seeing her modeling her see through dress on the runway at the Uni fashion show. Despite the real Kate saying she didn't meet the Queen until a few years after beginning to date William--there she is early on meeting the Queen and playing video tennis with the Queen at Buckingham Palace. The Queen even lectures Kate on future duties well before her engagement to William (according to the film). William in the meantime sits and watches Diana's Panorama tape which is hard to believe since it would be assumed that he remembered Diana's counsel without having to "brush up" on it watching the tape. The film has many scenes of Kate jealously watching William flirt with other women (with close ups). The rift happens when William decides to split with Kate. There is a cheesy scene with Kate in her bathrobe having a talk with her mother who tells her not to sit and mope but get out there and show William what he's missing. Then a montage of scenes of Kate clubbing with various men (with background music of Fascination). The reconciliation takes place at a park concert with Kate finding William in a crowd singing to him and pointing at him "he's the one". They embrace to applause by the crowd. The last scene of course is the Proposal Scene with Kate saying Yes Yes to William's proposal of marriage.
The leads do their best with bad material. The actors playing the couple are OK as is the actor playing Prince Harry. Jane Alexander does not have many scenes as the Queen. Not being much of a fan of Charles and Camilla (played by Victor Garber and Jean Smart), I cringed at how the writers were trying to make them a "lovable" couple --with Charles reading to little children(I don't see anything lovable about this pair considering the way they acted towards Diana--I also don't see their story as a great love story) The cheesiest scene was when a drunken Wills confronts his father about Diana and why she had to suffer and Camilla scurries for the black coffee to sober up William.
Obviously the writers had to interpolate scenes into the story and it was apparently based on newspaper stories of the time.
