What's the Story?
THE PRINCE & ME II: THE ROYAL WEDDING picks up with Edvard (Luke Mably) and Paige's (Kam Heskin) wedding just a few short weeks away. While the two are in the midst of wedding planning, med school classes (Paige), learning Danish (Paige), and running a country (Edvard), greedy Prince Albert (Jim Holt) from Norway arrives quoting an obscure, ancient law that means Edvard can't stay on the throne if he marries Paige. Albert knows that if his daughter, Princess Kirsten (Clemency Burton-Hill), marries Edvard instead, Albert will be saved from financial ruin. Can a loophole be found that will allow Edvard to marry the woman he loves?
Is It Any Good?
Unfortunately, this fairy tale princess sequel doesn't quite deliver the royal wedding bang real fans will be looking for. When it's right there in the title, The Prince & Me II: The Royal Wedding, viewers will be looking forward to pageantry, spectacle, gowns, and all the trappings of the ultimate romantic fantasy. But in this case, we patiently wait through a series of predictable stumbling blocks against the happy couple for a royal wedding that doesn't live up to the name. Paige only has 10 minutes to get dressed for the wedding, and her gown is disappointing. And then the ceremony can't even start until she awkwardly tries to read the Danish constitution aloud and in Danish. Instead of feeling like the culmination of everything that's come before, the wedding itself has so little time devoted to it that it ends up feeling more like a side note.
The happily ever after is never in doubt, and the stumbling blocks aren't very compelling or suspenseful. There are lots of better choices out there for hard-core fans of all things princess, romance, and royalty.
