Briefly diving into the A Royal Runaway Romance plotline
Princess Amelia falls in love with an American painter Wes right before taking over her mother's throne. Unfortunately, the painter has to leave due to her mother's disregard for their relationship.
Amelia then devises a plan to travel to the states. But her plans go astray as the lovers fail to meet, owing to her arrival at Andreas', her uncle, Beverly Hills home, miles away from Wes. In addition, further complicating matters, the Queen insists on traveling with her. Making it worse, she confiscates Amelia's passport, making it impossible for her to catch a flight to Chicago.
While nothing seems to be working in her favor, Amelia finds a way to travel via road on one condition - she must travel with Grady, her uncle's bodyguard. Grady, on the other hand, is not as tense as he appears.
Along the journey, Amelia and Grady open up to one another, discovering that they have a lot in common. How will their journey conclude? The two will discover that when it comes to road trips and romance, the destination is less important than the journey and the person you share it with.
Hallmark's A Royal Runaway Romance premieres this Saturday, April 9 on the channel.
