No premiere date has yet been set for the TV movie, but some speculate the film will launch in May just ahead of their wedding date, May 19. The network did something similar with the movie about Prince William and Kate Middleton’s romance, “William & Kate: The Movie,” which premiered 11 days before the royal wedding.
His Royal Highness Prince Henry of Wales and Ms. Meghan Markle will marry on 19th May 2018.
