I only watched this one because of the corgi... almost always skip the royalty Hallmarks because of so many (consistent) letdowns....

This time the prince is a piece of work who really didn't convince me that his commoner dog trainer could have fallen for him, much less he for her... the ending is a bit of a mess because the princess's evil boyfriend who wants to be the power behind her throne if he can manipulate the monarchy transfer - well, he tries to expose our heroine with a notebook that supposedly shows she only came to the castle to get the prince to support her charity. That sounds terrible but the bad guy shows his true spirit of ugliness and gets ignored and thrown out by the sister princess (who ends up being queen on her own.) Why our prince and his dog trainer make up after the big fall out doesn't really make enough sense for me to root for their happily-ever-after, especially after the smashed-up kiss that supposedly shows how he really feels... Sorry - not to be a downer but this isn't what most of us are looking for in a holiday Hallmark movie...
