Christmas with a Prince is a 2018 television romantic comedy directed by Justin G. Dyck, based on the Harlequin novel St. Piran’s: Prince on the Children’s Ward by Sarah Morgan with a screenplay by Keith Cooper. The 86‑minute, TV‑PG film features Kaitlyn Leeb as Dr. Tasha Miller, a dedicated pediatric specialist, and Nick Hounslow as Prince Alexander Cavalieri, a handsome but self‑absorbed royal who is forced to recover from a broken leg on Tasha’s hospital floor. Over the course of the Christmas holiday, she teaches him some tough love and soon the spoiled prince might just become her knight in shining armor.
The movie was produced by Brain Power Studio and released in Canada and the United States, with a budget of approximately $2 million. It received a TMDb user score of 52 out of 100 and generally mixed to lightly favorable reviews.
Because Christmas with a Prince became the first chapter in a trilogy, you will also find details in this guide for its sequels — Becoming Royal (2019) and The Royal Baby (2021) — which continue Dr. Tasha and Prince Alexander’s adventures.
