Hallmark Channel’s latest Countdown to Christmas movie is not light on royalty or holidays. In A Royal Queens Christmas, a young prince finds himself mistaken for a piano player (but of regal stature).
What is A Royal Queens Christmas about?
After returning home from a tour of duty in the Army, Dee Dee (Megan Park) works at a well-established bakery in Queens, New York. The bakery is commissioned to supply desserts for an international Christmas gala and fundraiser in Manhattan. When she goes to meet with the chef, Dee Dee has a run-in with Colin (Julian Morris) in the lobby, and he knocks over her plate of pastries. When she learns Colin plays piano and could play in the local Christmas show, she asks him to help as payback. Dee Dee assumes he works for the hotel but really he’s the Prince of Exeter, a fictitious European country. Colin conceals his identity as he feels at home in the Bayside community among Dee Dee’s family and friends, participating in the neighborhood’s holiday activities. All is going well until his parents, the King and Queen of Exeter, show up in New York with a princess they hope Colin will marry, ruining Colin’s cover story.
