Royal Rendezvous is definitely not the kind of rom-com you’ll see on every channel, as the trailer TV Insider is exclusively debuting shows.
In E!‘s scripted movie, starring Isabella Gomez, Ruairi O’Connor, and Ronan Raftery and premiering on Sunday, February 26, an East L.A. chef, Cat, is invited to a manor in Ireland to cook for the royal banquet in an effort by a Lord to convince his grandmother not to sell their home. However, as is expected in films like this, budding romances threaten to derail the entire plan.
The trailer offers a look at the chef’s invite to Ireland — it comes the day before the family of royals wants her to cook for them for a week after reading about her — as well as her seeing her suite once there. “I am always up for a new adventure,” Cat says.
And adventures she will have! But it certainly gets awkward when at a meal with the family, she remarks, “calling your son Lord James might be kind of weird because I’ve seen him naked.” It gets worse. Watch the steamy, sizzling trailer above for more.
Royal Rendezvous is produced by MarVista Entertainment. Megan Ellstrom, Larry Grimaldi, Angie Day, Hannah Pillemer, and Fernando Szew are executive producers. Christine Luby directed, and Sarah Endsley wrote the screenplay based on a story by Heather Provost and Scott Damian.
