There are still four months to go until Prince Harry and Meghan Markle tie the knot, but royal wedding fever appears to be in full swing in Britain and across the pond.

Ahead of the big day at Windsor Castle on May 19, US cable network Lifetime is said to be preparing a film that documents the couple's romance. Yes, a Harry and Meghan movie is on the way.

According to Deadline, the project is titled Harry & Meghan: The Royal Love Story, and was mentioned by Lifetime's head of programming Liz Gateley at the Television Critics Association press tour.

It will reportedly tell the story of how the couple met after being set up by friends, charting the early days of their romance while also focusing on the press attention the former Suits star has received since it was confirmed she was dating the prince in autumn 2016.

Menhaj Huda – who has previously worked on The Royals – is said to be directing the film, which is still currently looking for the perfect people to play the bride and groom-to-be.

There's no air date just yet, although as Deadline points out, a premiere in early May, just a few weeks before the wedding date, is most likely.

Harry & Meghan will be the second Lifetime movie to be made about the royal family's love stories in recent years.

It follows William & Kate: The Movie, which made its debut on the channel just a few days before the couple's wedding in April 2011.
