Jessica Jones actress Parisa Fitz-Henley has been cast as Prince Harry’s bride-to-be Meghan Markle in a TV movie chronicling the couple’s royal romance.
Fitz-Henley, who is bi-racial, just like Markle, will star opposite Murray Fraser as the Prince in the Lifetime network’s Harry & Meghan: The Royal Love Story.
British-born Fraser has previously appeared in U.K. TV series The Loch and Victoria.

Which celebs might get an invite to royal wedding?
The film will begin with the couple’s first date in May, 2016, which was set up by a mutual friend, and include a number of romantic outings up until its big engagement announcement in November.
The project, directed by The Royals’ Menhaj Huda, will air this spring.
Prince Harry and Markle are set to tie the knot at Windsor Castle, England, on May 19.
It’s not the first real-life royal romance to get the small screen treatment at Lifetime – Harry’s brother Prince William and his wife, Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge, were also the subjects of a 2011 film, called William & Kate: The Movie, starring Camilla Luddington and Nico Evers-Swindell as the happy couple.
