The Reluctant Royal Reviews

5/10 I just love watching Andrew Walker in anything he does

I’ll start by saying I love Andrew Walker, but I do not buy him as a mechanic at all. On the flip side, I totally buy Emilie de Ravin as the duke’s advisor.

With that out of the way….this was such a fun watch! I totally bought into the story & eventual romance.

They gave us so many cute, sweet, silly scenes that really let you see the characters personalities. The relationship’s that grew throughout the story were heartwarming & touching.

Overall it was an easy watch although similar to many.

While the plot is somewhat predictable, the film's lighthearted tone and engaging characters make it an enjoyable ride. The supporting cast adds to the fun, with memorable performances that add depth to the story.

Overall, I'd recommend The Reluctant Royal to fans of romantic comedies and those looking for a feel-good film. With its charming leads, humorous tone, and heartwarming story, it's a great way to spend an evening!
