36 Thoughts I Had While Rewatching Lifetime’s ‘William and Kate’

The love story of “William Wales” (a.k.a. Prince William) and Kate Middleton hit Netflix this week via the final installment of Peter Morgan’s The Crown, but if you’re in the market for an even schlockier, more made-for-TV version of that royal romance, you’re in luck. William and Kate, the Lifetime movie starring Nico Evers-Swendell and Camilla Luddington, is currently available to stream on Prime Video. In order to determine who wore it best, royal-biopic-wise, I rewatched the Lifetime film…and boy, am I glad I did. Below, find all the thoughts I had while revisiting William and Kate:

1. Hey, it’s Kate, a.k.a. Camilla Luddington, a.k.a. Jo from Grey’s Anatomy!
2. I love this jolly, extremely fictional version of now-King Charles being presented.
3. God, these girls camping out to meet Wills are so thirsty. I get it, though, because the actor playing him is a lot hotter than the man himself (sorry).
4. A man directed this? I quit.
5. Okay, I’m back, but I’m still mad.
6. All these girls that William’s self-assigned “wingman” is pointing out look exactly the same.
7. Rethink that cream sweater, king.
8. LMAO, see what I accidentally did there?
9. Why are all of these men wearing argyle?
10. Ooh, William and Kate are meeting! And exchanging numbers! For…homework.
11. Oh, shit, Kate has a very square-faced boyfriend.
12. Who sits on their bed in an oxford and jeans? Not very mannerly behavior, Wills!
13. Hey, it’s the Middletons!
14. Damn, the casting department really did Harry dirty here.
15. Fashion show see-through-dress time!
16. It’s over with Kate’s square-jawed boyfriend, who also has very tiny features (not to pick on this poor actor).
17. Damn, William has Kate and their college squad over to Highgrove to meet Prince Charles. High-stress situation!
18. Hunting, then church? God, I would not be good as a royal consort.
19. William, Kate, and the homies move into an off-campus apartment and make a bunch of stir-fry, or whatever the English equivalent of stir-fry is.
20. Oh, LOL, it’s a curry.
21. William broke up with his barely seen blonde GF too, and he and Kate totally make out.
22. Time for a “spot of footy” with Kate’s family, who take to William at once.
23. A mean, anemic-looking blonde girl tells Kate William will never be serious about her, and one of Kate’s friends correctly calls her a bitch.
24. Oh no, Will is flirting with some girl named Jecca!
25. Kate storms out of the party and takes to her bed, as one does.
26. Will wins Kate back with some karaoke on a ski trip, which I hope to God actually happened.
27. I assume living in England is just always having sex in front of a roaring fire.
28. Wills is off to war or whatever, and Kate’s working in a shop (equally taxing, as you’ll know if you’ve ever worked retail during the holidays).
29. WHAT is this beaded fedora Kate is wearing?
30. Kate is “not entitled to royal protection status,” according to Charles 🙁
31. Curtsy-lesson time!
32. Oh, God, another fedora.
33. Kate crying in the bath post-breakup with a glass of red wine is a mood.
34. Kate is all happy and athletic and chilled out, so obviously here comes William to distract her.
35. African engagement time!
36. Okay, off to watch the last installment of The Crown and see how it stacks up.
