The Queen of England had a secret plan for her grandson, Prince Harry. Queen Elizabeth reportedly saw in him some qualities and special talents like no other royal personality, which could help the British monarchy win the people over.
According to a documentary about Prince Harry, the Queen wanted to make the most of his grandson's amiable personality to connect with the people. The Duke of Sussex has been extremely likable in public that he could easily win over people better than politicians or other royal family members, according to Daily Express.
"The plan that the Queen has for him, and therefore the Palace and the government will have, is to use this great talent he has with diplomacy," a royal expert said. "Harry is incredibly charming when you meet him - he is very funny. He really reminds me of his mum, he is very quick-witted."
After marrying American actress Meghan Markle, royal observers noted that Prince Harry and his wife would make a great "diplomatic team" that would forge the alliance between the U.S. and the U.K. Harry and Meghan could easily generate positive news and tourism for England, especially after the birth of their first-born son Archie Harrison.
Meanwhile, there is a dramatic movie on TV centering on this royal couple that has drawn various reactions from viewers. Harry & Meghan: Becoming Royal, which aired on Lifetime on Monday, March 27, touches on the couple's wedding preparations. It's a sequel to the first TV movie Harry & Meghan: A Royal Romance, which aired on 2018.
Fans on social media poked fun at the TV movie. Harry & Meghan: Becoming Royal is a dramatization of the royal couple's lives. Some viewers doubted the accuracy of the scenes, such as Meghan having jitters during her wedding planning because of her estranged father and half-sister.
But actress Tiffany Smith, who played the Duchess of Sussex in the TV movie, is proud of her work in Harry & Meghan: Becoming Royal. She told TV Insider that she feels quite lucky to have gotten the role and that people have remarked about her resemblance to the Duchess.
Smith said, however, that there is some pressure to play the Duchess since she's a real, existing person. The actress said that she wanted to do a great job out of respect for Meghan.
Harry & Meghan: Becoming Royal may still be accessible for subscribers of Lifetime. The TV movie is also expected to be on Amazon Prime in the coming months.
