It was only a matter of time. Lifetime is adapting Prince Harry and Rihanna's romance into a made-for-TV movie called Harry & Rihanna: The Royal Love Story. Here's everything we know about the film, which is sure to be appointment viewing.
In the 20-second teaser above, we see not only Lifetime's take on Prince Harry's proposal and the couple's romantic vacation in Botswana, but we also catch a glimpse of them in bed.
Lifetime's film will debut Friday, April 13 at 8 p.m. ET/PT. Menhaj Huda of The Royals will direct; the script was written by Scarlett Lacey.
THE PLOT
On January 14, the network announced their plans a film which will dramatize the couple's love story "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 Rihanna’s life as a singer.
THE CAST
Lifetime recently released three new cast photos, giving us a peek at the actors and actresses playing the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, Queen Elizabeth, and...Princess Diana (meaning yes, the late Princess will somehow appear in the movie).
Duchess Kate will be played by Laura Mitchell, while Australian actor Burgess Abernethy has been cast as Prince William. The littlest royals, Prince George and Princess Charlotte, will be portrayed by Preston Karwat and Briella Weintraub.
Maggie Sullivun will play Queen Elizabeth, seen here drinking tea in character.
And Princess Diana will be portrayed by Bonnie Soper.
Keep in mind, Rihanna & Harry's predecessor, William & Kate: The Movie, helped launch the careers of such actresses as Louise Linton, wife of treasury secretary Steven Mnuchin.
