New photos from the Vancouver, Canada, set of��Harry & Meghan: A Royal Romance have surfaced!

Actress��Parisa Fitz-Henley, who is playing bride-to-be Meghan Markle in the��Lifetime��TV movie, took to Instagram earlier this week to give fans a glimpse of the other actors and actresses who will be portraying the royal family. Needless to say, the casting is pretty spot-on!

Fitz-Henley shared a stunning black-and-white shot of New Zealand actress Bonnie Soper, who looks eerily similar to the late Princess Diana, the royal she'll play in the film. "Oh hello, Diana," Fitz-Henley captioned it. "This casting is bugging me OUT."

Oh hello, ���Diana���.... (this casting is bugging me OUT) ���� #bts #HarryandMeghan #ARoyalRomance @lifetimetv @bonnie_soper ��������

Queen Charlotte of Mecklenburg-Strelitz was considered by some to be unattractive because of her ���mulatto face���. Well... the father of her 15 kids didn���t seem to mind it. ���� She was a major patron of the arts, amateur botanist (the Latin name of the Bird of Paradise flower is Strelizia Reginae in her honor), opened orphanages, funded a maternity hospital, advocated for education for women, refused to marry her daughters off young, and among many other things also dealt w/the severe physical and mental illness of her husband King George III. ���The House of Windsor has never denied Queen Charlotte's claimed African ancestry. David Buck, a Buckingham Palace spokesperson, was quoted by the Boston Globe as saying "This has been rumoured for years and years. It is a matter of history, and frankly, we've got far more important things to talk about."��� (ref. @wikipedia) LOVED seeing her on set of #HarryandMeghan #ARoyalRomance @lifetimetv. Follow @scriptdoll1 Tina Andrews who has written a book, play (in which I got to play Charlotte) and is now developing a series about this remarkable woman!! #blackhistorymonth ������
