So, we've been planning a viewing party ever since we heard that there will be a Lifetime movie based on Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's romance.

 

There was one question buzzing around our heads though - who would play the enchanting couple?

 

Well, Lifetime has found their two leads! Parisa Fitz-Henley, who will play the Suits star, is a dead ringer for Meghan.

 

The Jamaican-American actress might look familiar to you if you've seen Jessica Jones or Luke Cage, in which she plays Reva Connors.

 

 

Harry will be played by Murray Fraser, who recently appeared in ITV's Victoria and the series The Loch. His hair isn't exactly ginger, but sure, a quick dye job could do the trick.

 

Filming will start later this week in Los Angeles and Vancouver, B.C., Hello! Magazine reports. 

 

Harry & Meghan: The Royal Love Story is set to be released in spring, so viewers can enjoy it close to the wedding on May 19.

 

The film will follow the couple from the day they first met through the media mania around their engagement.

 

 

Menhaj Huda, whose previous work includes The Royals, will be directing. He said of the film: "So excited to be helming such an inspirational love story of our time."

 

Parisa expressed her excitement about the project on her Instagram account, writing, "Psyched we can finally share! So happy to be doing this project w/ #MurrayFraser."

 

The 41-year-old actress also added: "We gotta get this dude on IG asap!" Agreed! We need some behind-the-scenes snaps, Murray!

 

What do you think of the casting, mums? Who would be your dream cast for Harry & Meghan: The Royal Love Story?
