Plot summary
It's the Christmas season. Kristin has recently started working as the Executive Assistant to Melanie Charles, the demanding President/CEO of Los Angeles based Charles Global PR. While Kristin is as demanding of herself as Melanie is of her staff in general, she would like Melanie to see her as more than just a glorified gopher. Despite being nervous about the opportunity, she may get her chance when Melanie is called away at the last minute to Boston to meet a potential new client, leaving Kristin in charge of meeting with the Ambassador of Edgemoor, its monarchy which is partnering with the company's biggest client, Dan Carson of Carson Designs, for a charity fashion show on December 23rd, proceeds going to a children's hospital. Kristin's job is basically to smooth the waters with the Ambassador and as need be Carson until Melanie returns. Upon the delegation of Edgemoor's arrival in Los Angeles, Kristin finds that it is not the Ambassador that has been sent, but rather Prince Patrick himself and his aide, Albert. Wanting to seem more important in putting the company in a good light, Kristin, following on her colleague and best friend Jill's initial play, presents herself as not an assistant but rather Melanie herself. Kristin finds that she can extend the ruse as Melanie ends up being snowed-in in Boston. On the flip side, Patrick has been sent by his father, King Frederick, to show some responsibility to his royal duties, he, in his irresponsibility, more often than not tabloid fodder in his exploits. In their time together, Patrick not only begins to show some true caring for the charity work, but also begins to have feelings for Kristin, those feelings returned by her. A happily-ever-after for them is hindered by the truth eventually coming to light, especially as Kristin's competitive colleague, Josh, if he knew what was going on, would be more than happy to expose Kristin as a fraud.

I don't care what anyone says this was awesome.
This really is a fairy tale
"Once upon a time" Hollywood and all its knockoffs started making fairy tales of the Disney princess variety. This movie might as well be animated because the story and acting are what you might expect from those movies.
As Kristin repeatedly acknowledges, what she did was wrong. In the world that a real Kristin would live in, the mistakes she made are never forgiven and there's reasons for that. In the world that Walt Disney created, there's always a happy ending for a person like Kristin. This movie is firmly entrenched in the latter, so it's best to try to work within that framework in judging the movie. Also, if that's not what you want to watch, then don't.
The story, the dialogue, the actions of the characters, and the acting are all consistent with that framework. Even so, some of the acting was still a little stiff. The dialogue was so-so.
I can't decide what I think of Kristin. In the beginning, she shows signs of being a player who would do almost anything to get ahead, but she also quickly shows some self-doubts about that approach. She repents of her deception and intends to make it right. After being exposed, she owns responsibility and is ready to accept the consequences. Diarmaid Murtagh never appealed to me and I was never that impressed with the character Patrick. Patrick and Kristin had so little time together that I never really thought they had chemistry and beyond that was at a total loss as to why either one should love the other.
There are a couple of sentimental moments having to do with Amy, the child cancer patient toward the end of the movie.
The climax and ending fit the fairy tale mold very well.
Let me say that having allowed that you can't judge this movie according to most of the Christmas rom/coms we see this time of year, I still didn't enjoy it. I didn't appreciate the humor. I used my DVR's FF button liberally. That's my own personal preference.
Maid in Manhattan as a tv movie
A Christmas In Royal Fashion is a 2018 TV movie and tells the tale of a young fashion executive assistant named Kirsten who falls in love with a prince named Patrick who thinks that Kirsten is Melaine Charles,but how long can Kirsten keep up with the facade?
I knew from the get go how this was gonna end as it was really predictable.
