The prince and the American girl is a well explored light romance trope. Hallmark has done it at least three times and here is Lifetime's version.
"Samantha" is a bit light on her acting chops, with most of her lines coming out in a whine or a fit of petulance. Callum Alexander is a bit stiff, but performs surprisingly well for his only real film role.
To be honest, I only picked this out because the reunion of Parker Stevenson and Pamela Sue Martin more than 40 years after their Hardy Boys/Nancy Drew crossovers. Parker gets a LOT more lines and screen time than Pamela, and not much time playing off each other, which is a shame.
Marina Sirtis appears in a surprise role as the "royal fixer", and sadly adds very little to the film. She's a shadow of her screen presence as Troi on TNG.
Still, it's an enjoyable film, but not one we'll consider for repeat viewings.
