The movie includes all the usual fairytale romance tropes – a handsome prince from a far-off land, a scheming mother-in-law and star-crossed lovers – but does offer some modern twists on the format.

“Isabella runs her own salon and isn’t afraid to speak her mind, while Prince Thomas runs his own country and is about to marry for duty rather than love,” the official Netflix synopsis reads.

“When Izzy and her fellow stylists get the opportunity of a lifetime to do the hair for the royal wedding, she and Prince Thomas learn that taking control of their own destiny requires following their hearts.”

So, without further ado, read on for everything you need to know about The Royal Treatment’s cast and characters…
