TV Insider previously reported that Bonnie Soper will portray the late Princess Diana and Maggie Sullivun will play The Queen of England. And the lead roles of Meghan Markle and Prince Harry will be played by Parisa Fitz-Henley and Murray Fraser, respectively.
Lifetime says that the movie will “examine the history of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle 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. It will also explore the intense global media attention surrounding their relationship and Meghan’s life as a divorced American actress.”
