I love this series, and although Paige Morgan is played by someone else, it still maintains it's continuity with the first installment. I wish the first disc would be released on blu-ray.

This sequel isn't as good as The Prince and Me. Rather than keeping the winning acting of Julia Stiles, this movie replaces her with Kim Heskin, who has neither looks nor acting ability to recommend her. Where Julia Stiles played the character of Morgan Paige with grace and dignity, Heskin seems like a whinny teen. Even though Malby stayed in the sequel, he seems a much smaller man. In The Prince and Me Malby's King Edvard acted like a true king and took command, holding a cabinet meeting. In The Prince & Me 2 - The Royal Wedding, Malby's king is indistinguishable from any pathetic teen guy.

The only thing that saves The Prince & Me 2 - The Royal Wedding is the plot. It's entertaining enough to smooth over the deteriorating acting. It focuses on a plot by a corrupt uncle to sabotage Paige and Edvard's marriage by raising a legal prohibition against a non-Scandanavian queen. Princess Kirsten, Paige's competition for Edvard's heart, is a breath of fresh air, bringing grace and cunning to the film. Not only is she much better looking than Paige, but she never overacts - until the grand finale.
