Lifetime to Unveil ‘William & Kate’ Movie

Kate Middleton, Prince William

This spring, Lifetime will unveil the first of what is sure to be many movies about royal couple Prince William of England and his bride Kate Middleton. The TV movie, titled William & Kate, will air on April 18.

Nico Evers-Swindell (NCIS: Los Angeles) will play the Prince, Camilla Ludington (CSI) as future Queen Kate Middleton.

But, that’s not all. Lifetime is also doing a six-part documentary series about the couple’s Royal Wedding of a Lifetime. They will take a look back the history of the couple's on-again, off-again romance, and talk about the mother-in-law Kate will never meet, the late Princess Diana.
