Prince Harry and Meghan Markle haven't even tied the knot yet but Lifetime has already released a teaser for the film on the couple's love story, Harry & Meghan: A Royal Romance.

The made-for-TV movie, previously named Harry & Meghan: The Royal Love Story, will follow the two lovebirds as they're set up on a date by friends, navigate their time in the spotlight, and eventually fall in love, according to Entertainment Weekly. It will also chronicle Markle's life after she divorced Trevor Engelson and and landed the role of Rachel Zane in the USA drama, Suits.

The trailer depicts the moment where Prince Harry proposed to Markle, which approximates the way  it actually happened. "I just need you," Prince Harry says before bending on one knee. Parisa Fitz-Henley, who's best  for her role as Reva Conners in Marvel's Luke Cage, will play the soon-to-be princess, while Burgess Abernethy will play the red-headed smitten prince.

Two months after the soon-to-be-married couple announced their engagement, Lifetime announced that they would be airing a film based on their story before they tie the knot. This isn't the first time that Lifetime got the jump on the royal family. They also aired William & Kate: The Movie two weeks before Prince William and Kate Middleton said their vows.

Harry & Meghan: A Royal Romance is set to debut on May 13 at 8 p.m. EST, while the real-life Harry and Meghan will get married on May 19.
