EXCLUSIVE: Lifetime’s original movie William & Kate, about the modern-day fairytale romance between Prince William and Kate Middleton, now has both of its leads locked in. Young British actress Camilla Luddington, who was born in the same county as Middleton, Berkshire, has landed the role of the princess-to-be. She will star opposite Nico Evers-Swindell, previously cast as Prince William, and Ben Cross as his father, Prince Charles. The movie, whose production is expected to begin next week, has been fast-tracked to premiere around William and Kate’s April 29 Royal Wedding. Luddington, who next appears in the Hallmark movie Accidentally In Love, is with Main Title and Progressive Artists. UPDATE: Also cast in the movie are Australian actor Jonathan Moore and Brit Richard Reid as William’s friends Frederick Sellers and Guy Pelly, respectively. Moore is with Michael Greene & Assoc. and Management 360; Reid with Kritzer, Levine, Wilkins Griffin.

why do you keep covering this Lifetime movie?
They should have cast one of the below rising young actresses as Kate Middleton:
Rachel Bilson, Sophia Bush, Kat Dennings, Leighton Meester, Ellen Page, Evan Rachel Wood
Why cast one of them? To hear them stumble through a bad british accent? And why do you need one of these names? People will tune in just because it’s about the Royal Wedding. I think Lifetime did well.
The royal wedding will be watched by the entire world, and this Lifetime film will probably be dubbed into more languages than we know exist. This will most likely be one of Lifetime’s most lucrative productions = relevant
“Luddington, who next appears in the Hallmark movie Accidentally In Love, is with Main Title and Progressive Artists.”……….not for long.
why is this news? 2 people fall in love & get married. doesnt this happen all the time? why is this so “special”?
Because he will be King of England and his bride is thus the future Queen of England?
THAT doesn’t quite happen “all the time.” Did you really not know this?
The reason this is so special is that William will be the King of England one day and Kate will be his queen, silly!
