Goofs
After the skiing photo-shoot, a fictional English newspaper (the cover price is in Pounds Sterling) bears the headline 'Missing boy found in car trunk' rather than the correct 'found in car BOOT', as would be used in the UK.

This was way better then I expected for a hastily put together, made-for-TV movie. Although it could just be that because I watched it right after the royal wedding and was all caught up in that magic of that event I just wanted a bit more and didn't really care.
This movie deals almost exclusively with William and Kate's relationship and his time at St Andrews college. I don't know how much of the story is true? My guess would be none of the personal stuff they show. You do however still get a feel for William's loneliness, the microscope he lives under, the ever present paparazzi and how his future is mapped out for him.
The only other royal represented in the movie is Prince Charles but you do get to see Kate's commoner family, who I really liked.
Ultimately this is a love story and the perfect bit of cheese to watch before or after the royal wedding. The actor who played William (Nico Evers-Swindell) was very good. 05.11
