30 movies we want to see turned into Netflix shows

What is The Prince & Me about?

Coming in at No. 29 on the list is The Prince & Me! 

Of course, Netflix is no stranger to content involving the royals. Whether it’s the historical drama fascination The Crown or the Christmas romantic comedies A Christmas Prince and The Princess Switch, it’s been something of a royal flush on Netflix for years. Not to mention, you sometimes might also be able to add the 2004 rom-com The Prince & Me to your watch list.

Julia Stiles stars in the mid-aughts romantic comedy as Paige Morgan, a pre-med student at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, who unsuspectingly begins a whirlwind romance with Edvard, the Crown Prince of Denmark (Luke Malby). The Prince & Me finds Paige and Edvard’s world colliding in a big way, from attracting national attention to reconciling their individual dreams.

Given the major resurgence of royals in the press as of late (you’ve probably been meme-ing about it for weeks, don’t lie), it’s time for Netflix to strike while the royal iron is hot. The Prince & Me has a built-in franchise of three forgettable direct-to-DVD sequels not starring Julia Stiles that are better left unmentioned. Whether it’s a reboot or revival series adaptation, we’re ready for an update on this star-crossed lovers tale — preferably with the iconic Ms. Stiles in tow.
