A Royal Christmas Holiday

During a bustling holiday season, a hungry reporter chases a story that could finally push her to the big time. When a visiting European prince agrees to let her land a Christmas interview in the United States, she expects a splashy profile and a career boost. What begins as a professional assignment soon becomes personal as the snow falls and the clock ticks toward Christmas Eve. Late night conversations, shared secrets, and a mutual attraction blur the lines between work and romance. With glittering lights as a backdrop, two people from very different worlds test what they really want from life, and whether a picture perfect holiday moment can become something real.
