As soon as they announced the casting of Harry & Meghan: A Royal Romance, Lifetime has been boasting about how spot-on both Parisa Fitz-Henley and Burgess Abernethy are as Meghan Markle and Prince Harry. But once the movie actually aired on Sunday, Twitter had a whole other reaction. Read on to see how social media responded to the televised film.
Since everyone across the globe has been eagerly anticipating this weekend’s royal nuptials, it was no surprise to see social media GLUED to the movie. They were so invested, in fact, that one Twitter user admitted that the drama that unfolded in the movie had her emotionally eating!
Another tweeted, “Half the time I’m yelling at the TV, the other half I’m like, ‘this is so spot on.’”
Though people continued to watch the movie, some could barely get past Harry’ casting. So much so that one user wrote, “Bootleg Kate Middleton actually looks like her, but I KNOW that’s not supposed to be William??? Y’all let me down once again.” They followed this with a gif of none other than Kanye West shaking his head.
