On a Georgian island, Susanna Truitt (Megan Park) works at her parents' gardening store. She has a bad day. Instead of a marriage proposal from long-time boyfriend Adam, he dumps her. She expected a life including starting her landscape architecture business with him. She gets a flat tire but then dashing Nate comes to her rescue. When her father is hospitalized, he volunteers to help out at the store. He gets her a landscape design job for the high class Mrs. Waller. What she doesn't know is that he's a real prince of Cambria and a photographer catches them together. The Queen is unhappy and orders him home.
Megan Park is cute. The prince is cute. It's not the most daring of coupling but they are cute. It's cute. Royalty in one of these TV romance movies often struggles for scale. That's the case here. The castle is not much of a castle. The royal grandeur is not that grand. There are a couple of nice gardens but that's the limits of the production. The story has limited drama. It's a cute Hallmark movie but it's not that much.

ok cute Hallmark
Once Upon a Prince
These "I fancy an actual prince" themed Hallmark films are never my favourite, but this is actually nicely done, with two good performances from the leads.
Well worth a watch.
Better story than usual
Megan Park plays a landscape gardener. She meets a man in Georgia. She later finds out he'a a prince. He is played by Jonathan Keltz who isn't British but does quite an okay job at acting European with a pseudo British accent. There have been some terrible accents in other Hallmark movies.
The disapproving queen isn't very royal looking. Funny thing is they aren't even that much of a great house of Europe so they don't really have the goods to disapprove of a commoner.
The good thing is they take some time to fall in love and consider the problems they face. A more authentic feeling of the Hallmark Royal romances.
