Indiewire

Harry & Meghan: A Royal Romance ended with a rumor that has stuck to the Royal family for years. "Admittedly, information on historical figures can’t necessarily be spoiled in the traditional sense when it comes to movies and TV. But in the case of the Lifetime movie Harry & Meghan: A Royal Romance, its portrayal of the royal couple hews so closely to reality that some scenes that take storytelling license may be mistaken for fact," says Hanh Nguyen, adding that "while the Queen did give approval in real life for Harry and Meghan to get hitched, Lifetime’s movie took the fairy tale one step further."
