"Harry & Meghan: A Royal Romance" is a smarmy, feel-good biographical film presented in an extremely dry format.
The film takes the form of long, heartfelt conversations between Prince Harry and his paramour Meghan Markle. There are also scenes set in Africa where the royals confront lions. The filmmakers have done a good job in casting with convincing look-a-likes for the constipated Prince Charles, the fussy Queen, and the "perfect" couple, the balding Prince William and the decorous Kate Middleton, the Duke of Duchess of Cambridge. Of all the performers, the most interesting is the actress playing Meghan.
The best scene in the film is when Meghan is wearing a Hilary Clinton mask. She arrives at a bar to restore order when Harry is being taunted by a Canadian, who also insults the good name of the Queen. There is always a "take-charge" quality with Meghan who stands up for her rights against the recidivist British monarchists.
One can only image what the creators of the series "The Crown" will eventually do with the characters of Harry and Meghan. Almost certainly, their treatment will be more interesting and will include greater depth than this shallow made-for-television film.
