Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com

The royal love story of Prince William and comely commoner Kate Middleton captured the hearts of the world, and the Lifetime movie William & Kate takes viewers deep inside the relationship. William & Kate is well acted and no expense was spared to re-create key parts of Scotland and England as a lush backdrop to this modern-day fairy tale. William is played quite competently by Nico Evers-Swindell, and conveys just the right amount of the reserve and wry humor the prince is known for. Camilla Luddington plays Middleton, and her performance is spunky and appealing. The story starts at the beautiful campus of St. Andrews in Scotland, where William and Kate share classes and become friends--Middleton not particularly intimidated by the prince's title, and thinking there's no chance for a romance with a commoner, anyway. So they become good friends, and the rest unfolds as the viewer knows--but with detail and charm added to make the story all the more real. As with any based-on-a-true-story film, William & Kate lends itself to the second-guessing of casting. But both Evers-Swindell and Luddington, though not doppelgängers for William and Kate, look enough like their real-life counterparts to be quite believable. However, Ben Cross (Chariots of Fire) is simply too distractingly handsome to be very believable as Prince Charles. Viewers keep having to remind themselves that handsome guy is Prince Charles, which does take away from the flow of William & Kate. But for fans of the Royal Family, history buffs, and lovers of a sweet modern-day fairy tale, William & Kate makes for splendid viewing indeed. --A.T. Hurley

Product Description

How did Kate Middleton, an ordinary British girl, come to be Prince William s intended? Over an eight-year courtship, her warmth, humor, and grace under pressure convinced him she was the one. From University to the altar...this is the true life making of a Princess.

They ve charmed the world with their romantic love affair, engagement and eagerly awaited royal wedding. The Lifetime Original Movie WILLIAM & KATE tells the story of Prince William (Nico Evers-Swindell, NCIS: Los Angeles, Law & Order) and Kate Middleton (Camilla Luddington, CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, The Defenders), from the moment they met at the University of St. Andrews to the intense media attention surrounding their storybook romance. William & Kate also stars Ben Cross (Chariots of Fire) as Prince Charles, Serena Scott-Thomas (The World Is Not Enough) as Carole Middleton, Richard Reid (Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone) as Ian and Victoria Tennant (L.A. Story) as Celia.

Format:DVD
With the impending nuptials of Prince William and Catherine Middleton, there is certainly no shortage of entertainment choices highlighting the couple and the big day. Just because you can dramatize something in the TV movie format, however, doesn't necessarily mean that you should. In truth, there is nothing all that unusual about the courtship of William and Kate--aside from the fact that he's royalty. If this slight and superficial film did not purport to tell the fictionalized trials and tribulations of this notorious twosome, and was in fact purely made up about random individuals, there would be very few people proclaiming that this is must-see entertainment. There is just a lack of inherent drama. Those expecting an in-depth peek at the royal family and new insight into the principles will have to look elsewhere. Mind you, this Lifetime presentation is palatable, if completely unremarkable, and may be of interest to those on William and Kate overload--but it's just too slight to stand on its own without the hoopla.

Newcomers play Kate and William with some familiar faces lending support. I suppose the actors are appealing enough--everything is just so gently likable. I attribute most, if not all, of the film's shortcomings on the screenplay. The actors do their best with what they're given, but very little of it rings true. Their rowdy bunch of college buddies are fun, if somewhat interchangeable (don't ask me anyone's name). However, amidst all the drinking and allusions to wildness, no one ever appears even tipsy. William is humanized in cliched comedic moments including bungled attempts at cooking and a laundry mishap. Isn't it charming and funny? Royals are people too! And romantic moments come straight out of a Hollywood playbook-- singing karaoke to make an apology, swimming the channel to proclaim true love (to requisite applause, no less). There isn't a genuine moment here or any real perspective on the characters.

The first two-thirds of the picture have almost no drama whatsoever. When William openly declares his relationship status, Kate is thrust into tabloid news limelight. And he tells her it will only get worse. What happens next? The two share an idyllic senior year of college shacked up in a cottage in front of a roaring fire. Oh, the humanity. Later, Kate must confront the paparazzi briefly and deal with a separation from her Prince Charming. Of course, the response (courtesy of Kate's mother) is to make him jealous to grab his attention. Another advance for the feminist movement. There is actually one nice scene in the last ten minutes as Charles and William discuss Diana and it seems the only moment that has genuine emotion.

I won't say "William and Kate" is bad (and certainly not by Lifetime movie standards!). It can pleasantly pass the time and is eager to please all of the romantics out there. Just don't expect any sense of reality. Glossy and superficial, this royal romance is mildly entertaining but not particularly memorable. KGHarris, 4/11.

5.0 out of 5 stars Makes you love Will & Kate even more! September 14, 2011
Format:DVD|Amazon Verified Purchase
I've seen another "version" of the royal couple's lives in their earlier years and I very much love this more. This one seems to be more believable and alive. The actors were absolutely fantastic (with a British accent) along with a very well written storyline. Even Ben Cross's depiction of the Royal Prince Charles seemed lifelike. His portrayal with the mannerism was superb. It felt this was how Prince Charles really acted in real life. I don't mind watching this movie time & time again.

5.0 out of 5 stars WATHCED OVER AND OVER August 15, 2011
Format:DVD|Amazon Verified Purchase
If your looking for a real good romance. This will make you cry! I loved it. With the time they had to toss this movie together I think they did a great job. One of my favorites. Sure there is some guessing in there but it makes alot of sense and makes you come to know and love the couple. I even like the couple in the movie more than the true William and Kate. All in all great movie great DVD no problems. If your interested in this movie I'd say take the chance. I loved it.
