5 Surprising Secrets About Hallmark’s New Movie Royalish You Didn’t See Coming!

Get ready to step back into royalty with Hallmark’s upcoming film, “Royalish,” premiering on your screen this weekend. However, there’s a lot more depth than just its regal appearance. Did you know that?

Unlike some popular streaming platforms such as Netflix and Amazon Prime Video, Hallmark stands out by consistently delivering fresh, original content every week. In case you’re struggling to choose a movie or show, there’s a good chance you’ll encounter something completely new very soon.

As a long-time admirer, I’m thrilled that the enchanting Hallmark movie “Royalish” is coming our way next! It’s like living the Princess Diaries dream we’ve cherished since childhood. The story isn’t just about a heartwarming romance; it delves into the very royalty we can’t help but be captivated by, giving us a glimpse of that beloved British monarchy we all adore.

Should the wait until March 15 seem overly prolonged, here’s a fascinating quintet of facts about Royalish that might pique your curiosity prior to its weekend debut.

Royalish is set in a fictional version of Disneyland

After watching the trailer, it’s clear that it doesn’t take place at the real Magic Kingdom, but the setting is so convincing that you might think otherwise. However, since we can’t be physically there due to copyright issues, it simply appears to resemble Disney’s Magic Kingdom.

In this case, there’s a significant explanation behind it, and it lays the foundation for our tale. The story revolves around Royalish, focusing on Lacey, an amusement park princess in her daily role. During one of her shifts, she develops a friendship with Rose, a genuine eight-year-old princess in real life.

Not long after, she was summoned by her charming father for a journey to their realm, where she would serve as the new governess. Seems like an ordinary workday, doesn’t it?

In these scenes, a discerning viewer may notice some hidden Disney references. For instance, “Once Upon A Time Land” appears to be an exact replica of Cinderella’s castle, found at the end of Main Street in every one of the Disney Magic Kingdoms worldwide.

Children, just like grown-ups, can also don fancy attire and enjoy an afternoon tea with the enchanting princesses. This magical experience takes place at the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique within our parks, where various packages let kids undergo a complete fairy tale transformation.

Although Lacey doesn’t bear a strong resemblance to any specific Disney princess, her coworker, who can be seen seated in the back just five seconds into the video, seems strikingly similar to Belle from Beauty and the Beast. Make your own deductions…

There’s a familiar face you’ll recognize

Generally speaking, a group of actors who often appear in Hallmark productions is similar to a traveling theatre company. These performers tend to stay within the network, accumulating roles and roles across various Hallmark projects without moving to other channels. For example, Lacey Charbert is widely recognized as the “Queen of Hallmark.

It’s worth noting that Nichole Sakura is best known for her extensive work in the hit comedy series Superstore, where she portrayed Cheyenne Thompson over 106 episodes from 2015 to 2021. Additionally, you may remember her from Shameless, where she appeared as a guest star called Amanda between 2014 and 2016.

If you’re a fan of anime, we’ve hidden an additional treat for you! The critically acclaimed 2023 film by Makoto Shinkai, titled Suzume, was also released in English dubbing, with Sakura lending her voice to the title character.

Scandal is the name of the game

If you’re captivated by the intrigue and scandal of Bridgerton, then you might enjoy Royalish. Much like real life and fiction, engaging in a relationship outside societal expectations is generally frowned upon, as portrayed in The Crown as well.

It’s clear that no one in Henry’s family is eager to welcome the unknown American claiming to be a princess, as her sudden appearance at their grand estate could potentially stir up controversy. After all, she seems to be undermining their values, especially with the ‘pinky’ scene shown towards the end of the trailer, which suggests a lack of refinement and class that they hold dear.

a tantalizing act of disloyalty from two affluent and critical royals. It’s a given that our monarchs will play the villainous roles in this scenario, but what’s intriguing is the unknown extent of their scheming… and it’s thrilling to find out.

The cast has actual connections to royalty

William Moseley takes on the role of our primary prince, a part he’s quite familiar with due to his extensive experience. He previously played Prince Liam in the popular TV series Royals and portrayed Prince Karl of Hasse-Brandenberg in the 2012 film Perception.

However, his royal lineage isn’t limited to that connection. In fact, he is the 21st great-grandson of King Robert the Bruce, a monarch who is widely recognized as Scotland’s most esteemed ruler. It was when Hollywood Ancestry disclosed their findings that Moseley himself remained unaware.

He expressed his gratitude and admiration in a tweet from 2021, stating, ‘Wow, this is fantastic! I had no idea about so much of it. Remarkable job!’

It won’t be the only royal movie on Hallmark in March

This month, enthusiasts will have the opportunity to watch “The Royal We” and “The Reluctant Royal” on both Hallmark Channel and Hallmark+.

If Royalish isn’t enough on its own, here’s what you need to know.

As Princess Bea had been distanced from her royal responsibilities, she is now obliged to fulfill the previously arranged marriage with a prince from a lesser kingdom.

In an unexpected turn of events on March 9th (The Reluctant Royal), Philadelphia mechanic Johnny discovers that his estranged father is no ordinary man, but a Duke. However, this nobleman doesn’t match Johnny’s preconceived notions, and he finds himself developing feelings for the Duke’s wise advisor Prudence, which further complicates matters.
