About Rissi JC
Rissi is a self-diagnosed Bookaholic and TV fandom addict. As the king’s wedding to Countess Celia approaches, Princess Theodora decides that Allie would be a much better match for her father.
When Allie flies down to the European nation of Winshire to start her new job, she is surprised to find that her new employer is none other than His Royal Highness, King Maximillian.
Allie has been hired to look after the unruly Princess Theodora, a rambunctious child who has terrorized many of the royal staff ever since her mother, the Queen of Winshire, passed away in an untimely manner.
Ordinarily I wouldn’t be so nitpicky, but for some reason, the fact that this entire story takes place over a matter of days felt uncomfortable. Allie seems the ideal choice, at least to get Max through the holiday season. True, this is a fairy tale and as such starts out reaching for the stars as is, however, selling the angst and character emotions would have been more believable had the timeline been altered just a little.
With that out of the way, this new film is as smashing as any of its Hallmark peers.
Crown For Christmas Filming Locations
‘Crown For Christmas’ was filmed entirely on location in Romania and Slovenia. Apart from being a popular voice artist, McKellar has also acted in ‘The Wonder Years,’ ‘The West Wing,’ ‘Inspector Mom,’ and ‘How I Met Your Mother.’ Penry-Jones is best known for playing Adam Carter on ‘Spooks,’ but his acting credits also include ‘Whitechapel,’ ‘Black Sails,’ and ‘The Strain.’
Ellie Botterill plays the role of Princess Theodora.
Nevertheless, as soon as we see his handsome face and hear that accent, we know what's going to happen.
Of course, there's the fiancée (Alexandra Evans) that he doesn't love but must marry for dynastic reasons and some good character actors.
Crown For Christmas: Filming Locations and Cast Details
In Hallmark’s made-for-TV holiday movie, ‘Crown For Christmas,’ hotel maid Allie Evans gets fired from her job for not getting a customer’s room ready in time.
Here is everything you need to know.
After getting fired from her job as a maid at a ritzy New York City hotel, Allie reluctantly accepts a temporary gig as the governess to a young girl who is part of a powerful family in Euro...
(Maybe even too many.) So far this year, my tradition continues with Crown for Christmas. This says nothing of the addition of British star Rupert Penry-Jones as the leading man. Great movie. This prompts a job offer as a governess working for royalty. Luckily, a man who witnesses the whole scene offers her temporary employment with his own boss, as a governess to his boss’ kid.
Seeing him in this will be great fun for those of you fellow period drama aficionados who will recognize Rupert as Wentworth from Persuasion and also the adaptation of The 39 Steps.
Even these many years later, one of my most favored TV Christmas movies (or one of them, for there are many) is A Princess for Christmas (starring Outlander’s Sam Heughan and Merlin’s Katie McGrath).
