Who knows what the actors and production team are doing behind the scenes though. Reality is hidden but is always there.

[@The_only_lil_miss]

So who made this movie? We need part 2 ok 😢😅😊

[@maryettag777]

No cussing! No nude bed scenes! No body is on drugs! What a pleasure to watch!😍😍😍🤩🤩🤩

[@jsmith4049]

Exactly 😂

[@patriciaprice9714]

Totally Agree❤

[@kynearamsey1968]

This was a nice clean family movie

[@transformmyheart5842]

This was very nice & agree that it didn't need all that nonsense of cussing & nudity, etc...❤

[@AmyBR4b]

Yes!!!! 👏🏽

[@lydiaheelu2681]

So we’re having Hallmark type of movies in our African context now? Wow!! Can life get sweeter than this? ✨

[@vuyiswadlamini9273]

wooooooh woooooooooh❤ Pure bliss

[@AinembabaziBrenda-a1995b]

Absolutely ❤️

[@maya_unplugged]

Yeah, a royal family is of course verry representative for average life in South Africa, so Americans can feel mor close to the black continent. 😂

[@italguynj]

this is a BET+ movie

[@marcia1248]

This is better than any Hallmark movie.

[@marthamolepo1216]

It's a family movie, the kids can dig in. No foul language, no nudity. Thank God

[@_joycekinuthiaa]

100% true

[@nadirajames4267]

That’s what I said🤗🤗

[@melliemel32]

Yes, thank Him and w a good storyline! 🙏🏽☝🏽✝️

Thank you Jesus!

[@user-vh3uj5mi2l]

Amen!

[@chantelbarrett3522]

What I love about Freeman is that she plays all her roles to perfection ❤ and big up to Hallmark for stepping out of their zone...genius with the South African plot😊

[@Kalik8000]

umm... this is not a Hallmark (studios/ production) movie....

[@jacqueline8559]

And nothing in this Film, in any way, resembles South Africa,. Not remotely .....

[@celinegreenidge5178]

Yeah. About two years ago, I actually had to ask them if black people don't fall and stay in love or people of different races. If there was a black woman in the movie , she was always the tag along friend, who was sometimes the white female lead"s assistant or something.

[@italguynj]

This is a BET+ movie

[@celinegreenidge5178]

@@italguynj That is interesting because if that is the case, it is the cleanest bet movie I have ever seen. I don't really watch them, but the few I have seen were not that 'pure' and simple, yet nice.

[@ramonaphillipsteach3284]

I love the way he loves her, and how she loves him, clean movie. I love the way this movie makes me feel. I love true friendship between these two ladies as well, no crazy dysfunctional behavior. I also love that she closed her mouth and put her emotions aside for a moment to hear him out when their love was tested. They both humbled themselves, respect, honor.❤🙏🏽🙌🏽🙏🏽

South African actors and Royalty personified. Thapelo, Abena, Sive, and Sello exude graciousness and class. Jennifer simply sparkles.💜💜💜💜

[@random-dc3xr]

Omgoodness everyone is a phenomenal actor or actress!!! Outside of the two leads, the prince's sister is a standout for me! The sunset scene party planning the festivities with the lead actress was such a beautiful scene ❤

[@connect2christ531]

This is a lovely movie. It’s so nice to have a family friendly wholesome movies with no profanity or wickedness. I thoroughly enjoyed it! Thank you for sharing it.❤

[@superlove.6797]

Please have a second part when they get married and have children please do a second part. This was so wonderful so innovating so warm so loving and I’m so thankful thank you thank you.

[@v.dickson]

It's so good to see Jennifer Freeman act again. It puts a smile on my face. I remember as a kid watching her in You Got Served which was my hit back then and years later she's back again doing family movies like this. 😊

[@zarhanjobarkie2559]

Jennifer is being played by the same actor also played for Dakota Johnson. Listen to the voice and her Prince is being played by the same female also playing the Wakanda role of Chadwick Boseman. Same voice. Alle white actors.

[@kaylajack-yg4cy]

She also showed in my wife and kids as Claire Kyle

[@milunchmoney7790]

I don't like the mom she is cold😅

[@whitneysimon6828]

I couldn't figure out where I've seen her b4

[@whitneysimon6828]

​@kaylajack-yg4cy ahhhhhhhh that's itttttt.... dang I was like I know her..... thank you for this... it's good to see her not type cast ... she did a great job

[@lydiaheelu2681]

Everything about this movie was pretty amazing. But the Queen and the son played their parts exceptionally well 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[@tressyjones7995]

Wonderful intelligent clean movie with an all black cast!!! Loved every minute of this movie! Loved the black royalty that was truly Royal! Keep them coming!

[@aliciamilton5725]

One of the BEST movies ever! Love this story. Blended fairytale with real life situations and highlighted differences, over coming challenges and differences, and showing unity of the family in a royal setting! Just beautiful. Looking forward to seeing a continuation of this story. Please create if you have not already done so.💜

[@patriciaprice9714]

I live this wholesome fairy-tale of a movie. ❤

[@maryettag777]

Such a beautiful movie! I loved it! I didn't want the story to end!

[@josephinenabila9119]

Very interesting from start to finish. No harshness in language but a beautiful display of love and respect 🎉🎉🎉

[@AngelBaby11117]

I am glad the Queen softened to true love and respected Riley's loving care for her grandson as well as for her son.

[@dorlees5608]

What a wonderful movie! ❤ great cast, beautiful scenery. Definitely worth watching! ❤❤❤ Mandla has really princely manners! . ❤❤❤

[@lovepurple9116]

💜I appreciate the integrity between them, no one sneaked into each other’s bedroom at night, he apologize for getting loud with her and his mother communicated and expressed her feelings in a civilized manner with her I also agree with the other comments mentioned on here as well. Great Movie looking forward to watching more

[@P55999]

Yes, and how he never let his ex manipulate him.

[@fionamusana8878]

It's great to see familiar faces and places. Thank you for such a heartwarming movie.

[@BubblesPleasant]

There should be a part 2 !what a beautiful movie!

[@ladennayoung2939]

They have a Christmas one. It is on BET plus and Amazon Prime.

[@ladennayoung2939]

[@ayannalewis8470]

Love how the son put his foot down and be a MAN who heart chose and not what his mother want no disrespect but mother God send and my heart connect with riley heart ❤ and thats final say

[@TheGoonette]

I am glad that I finally found a movie that didn’t require me to send my preteen out of the room. Nice, clean movie. Loved it. Looking forward to Part 2 in 2 days on BET+

[@Kalik8000]

Great movie. Handsome cast. Especially the prince and princess (brother and sister). I hope if they make a part 2, with a wedding, they will have an African traditional ceremony, as well as a European (here comes the bride/ wedding march) ceremony... as most Africans do..... to show that even though Africans know how to assimilate, to help them move on the world stage..., they still value the traditions of their Ancestors who lived lavish lives before colonization...

[@altrinaallen1851]

This movie took my breath away it was so beautiful I love this movie. It was no cussing no drugs no shooting no fighting it was just a perfect movie I can look at this movie 100 more times and will not get bored looking at it, this was a perfect love story he loves her so much. She loves him with all her heart. His ex-girlfriend try to break them up her plans didn't never work it backfire on her thank you for sharing this beautiful movie. When the mother see Riley reading a story having time with her grandson that opened up her heart to love her more. You see that big old beautiful smile she had on her face she knows Riley is a perfect woman for her son.

[@KatlegoKatberry]

Ok, ok, I was hoping for Coming To America type of African Royal glamour for the Ball!🤷🏽‍♀️ Otherwise, I TOTALLY💯 loved this SWEET movie with its purity and loving family plot!❤️👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽❤️ Thank you!!🤗🤗🤗

[@Kalik8000]

I'm a HUGE Hallmark fan... And I have to say, Hallmark did not "invent" romance; nor did they invent the "romantic" movie. This is not a Hallmark production... It is a "Hallmark" styled movie, if you will.. but was not funded and produced by Hallmark Studios...... But, yes, if you are a Hallmark Movies/ Channel watcher, dig in! It's great!

[@ayannalewis8470]

Love the connection with boyfriend and rileyyy

This is my 2nd fave movie by Jennifer Freeman, first is Throwback Holiday. She's in her 30s like myself..idk, these holiday movies she's doing just hit different. She glows and simply exudes genuine chemistry in these movies.

[@deirdremyers2648]

His mom has been so reluctant so im shocked she hugged Riley in the end. I thought her heart was moved watching Riley and her grandson bond.And his ex just wotked my nerve.He said hed moved on. However i feel he was often not firm enough with his ex, he needed to keep his distance. He constantly put himself in a position of Riley seeing him with his ex in ways that would give any woman pause.
