Christmas Movies: A Christmas Prince (2017) and The Royal Wedding (2018)

**** A Christmas Prince  (2017)
This is a very romantic Christmas movie.  Amber (Rose McIver) takes an undercover job as a tutor to the Prince’s sister, Princess Emily (Alice Krige) to get an inside look at Prince Richard (Ben Lamb) who is reported to be quite the lady’s man and is due to be crowned king.  She takes to her new role, and a romance blooms; but what when people discover she is really a reporter.  Worse when Amber discovers that the prince is actually adopted.  This would be a major scoop, which she covers for a time but falls into the wrong hands, the prince’s cousin who would be king.  Now Amber is not only worried about her romance, but also if she can undo the damage she has done.

****A Christmas Prince: The Royal Wedding  (2018)  I think the sequel is even better than the first, as Amber is planning her wedding—but in actually it is protocol that is taking her ability to have the wedding she would like.  Add to this the economic downturn which appears to be caused by Kind Richard’s policies and this episode actually turns into a bit of economic espionage.  And the future queen eventually finds a way to let her voice be heard.  These two TV movies are great because of the feeling they create.  This is a show that helps you just feel good.  I don’t know what it is but I guess the pageantry just gets to me.
