The New York screening of William and Catherine: A Royal Romance - the latest movie to be based on Will and Kate's relationship - took place on Tuesday, but how do the latest faux royal couple measure up to the real deal?

First thoughts are that Fake Kate (Alice St Clair) doesn't have enough hair and Fake Will (Dan Amboyer) has too much. The faux royal wardrobe is a better match though. Kate's fond of a neutral dress and plain courts while Will does like a nice suit.

Apparently they made a bit more of an effort with the hair for the film than they did for the screening. Kate sports long brunette locks and the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports Fake Will as telling a Hallmark Channel press conference: "We did some things to try to make [my hair] look thinner. We'll see how it looks on camera."

We're not entirely sure if Hallmark's royal romance can match up to the amazingness that was William and Kate: The Movie - after all, that had some Pride and Prejudice-inspired (probably) lake diving - but it's good that they're willing to try. There's an awkward bra-based first encounter for starters.

We also have this shot from the movie set in Bucharest which has piqued our curiosity - we're 98% sure that we would have remembered the time when Will and Kate starred in a remake of Agatha Christie's Death on the Nile but then again, maybe the royal family have people to keep that kind of thing out of the paper:

And, in case you were curious as to how the rest of the cast stack up against their real-life counterparts, here's a snap for the fake family album:

William and Catherine: A Royal Romance airs on the Hallmark Channel at 9/8c on 27 August so if you want to see it you'll need to either hop on a plane or wait for the inevitable DVD release.
