'William & Kate' Actors Dish About Their Royal Wedding TV Movie

Filed under: Features, TV News, Celebrities and Gossip

It takes a lot of nerve to assume the roles of Prince William of Wales and his soon-to-be-bride, Kate Middleton.

Nico Evers-Swindell and Camilla Luddington, the actors who star in Lifetime's April 18 'William & Kate' TV movie, have already tasted what's in store for them as portrayers of the most famous bride and groom of our time.

Some choice critiques from the British press: Swindell has more hair than William. Luddington is more voluptuous than Kate. Swindell towers over his leading lady, while the real-life future king and queen are more evenly matched in height. And the movie was shot -- egad! -- in Hollywood, with only second unit filming done in Scotland and England.

Luddington tells TV Squad sister site PopEater that the day her casting was announced, there were reporters outside her family's home. Swindell recalls that tabloid types were waiting for them after a table reading of the 'William & Kate' script. "They were taking snaps and demanding interviews. It was funny, we had just finished reading the script, and then we were stepping outside into that reality. It gave me a very visceral feeling of what their world must be like, albeit a very minor one," he says.
