How Meghan Markle and Prince Harry Look Next to the Actors Who Play Them

Updated on May 15, 2018 at 5:15 PM

In case you somehow missed it, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have gotten the Lifetime treatment. On Sunday, the network brought us Harry & Meghan: A Royal Romance, and the casting for the two actors who played the leads was spot-on. Both Parisa Fitz-Henley and Murray Fraser, who respectively play Markle and Prince Harry, are (relatively) new to the Hollywood limelight, so we figure a proper introduction is in order. Take a look at the stars and the real-life subjects!

Lifetime

Parisa Fitz-Henley as Meghan Markle

Fitz-Henley has a ton of previous credits. She's had smaller roles on Grey's Anatomy, Jessica Jones, House of Cards, and The Girlfriend Experience. Right off the bat, you can tell she's got the look down pat. Even that contagious smile matches Markle's glow!

See what I mean?!

Lifetime

Murray Fraser as Prince Harry

Prince Harry is Murray Fraser's third official role, but hopefully we'll see more of him soon. Before acting in A Royal Romance, he appeared in the 2017 British miniseries The Loch.

And, of course, here's the real guy he's playing. Just, you know, one more time for good measure. I mean, I think Lifetime did a pretty bang-up job, don't you?
