Trivia / A Princess for Christmas

• Actor-Shared Background: Sam Heughan (Ashton, Prince of Castlebury) actually has royal lineage in his family, as confirmed in a 2014 interview.
• The Danza: Kristina Moore as Lady Kristina.
• Fake American: Irish actress Katie McGrath as New Yorker Jules Daly. English actress Leilah de Meza plays her niece, and Canadian actor Travis Turner was her nephew.
• Fake Brit: The very British Ashton is played by the Scottish Sam Heughan.
• Follow the Leader: This would be the first of several royal/Cinderella themed Christmas movies that the Hallmark Channel would put out for its holiday marathon throughout The New '10s, with a virtually identical plot—A Royal Christmas, Crown For Christmas, etc.
• Playing Against Type: Jules is notably sweeter than Katie McGrath's usual Aloof Dark-Haired Girl roles. Also, she plays a commoner lost into nobility, while actually Katie plays noble characters often (Morgana, and Margaret in The Queen)
• Real-Life Relative: Lady Kristina, to whom Duke Edward says hello as he enters the ballroom, was Sir Roger Moore's wife in real-life, Lady Kristina Moore.
