'A Christmas Prince' Is Officially Getting A Royal Wedding Sequel
Well, this is a gift: On Friday, May 18—just one day before the big royal wedding between Meghan Markle and Prince Harry—Netflix announced it will be making a sequel to its beloved original movie A Christmas Prince.
In a tweet, Netflix revealed it will be releasing a sequel that follows intrepid reporter Amber Moore (played by Rose McIver) and her fiancé, His Royal Highness Prince Richard (played by Ben Lamb), as they prepare for their own royal wedding.
“Hear Ye, Hear Ye. Ms. Amber Moore and His Royal Highness Prince Richard of Aldovia kindly request the honor of your presence at their royal wedding later this year,” Netflix wrote alongside a video showing the royal family of Aldovia tuning in to the real-life wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.
In the clip, Amber furiously takes notes on her computer in her true reporter-ish style, writing things like, “converse wedding shoes” and “don’t become a meme.” (Too late, for that.)
According to Buzzfeed, the hotly-anticipated sequel will pick up right where the first film left off: after Amber helped Richard secure his rightful place as King. It will follow the couple as Amber goes on a journey of personal discovery to see if she really can make a great queen, while Richard deals with some rather unhappy political drama during the holiday season.
As you may or may not recall, people were pretty obsessed with the film when it was released November 2017. In fact, as Netflix shared, some people simply couldn’t stop watching the so-bad-it’s-good movie:
And it looks like this time will be no different as fans quickly hopped on social media to let Netflix know just how happy they are about the decision to bring more Prince Richard to the world.
“Can you believe I was just blow drying my hair thinking ‘I hope they make a Christmas Prince 2’ and I come online and they are,” Twitter user Ellis wrote.
“I can’t believe I finally thought it was safe to delete my giant file of A Christmas Prince screenshots,” another added.
Even McIver tweeted her excitement about the new movie.
In fact, everyone’s so excited about the Christmas Prince sequel they almost forgot about those two IRL royals getting hitched tomorrow. (Almost.) Though Netflix has yet to announce a release date, you can safely assume it will be some time in November or December.
