Description
Robson Green (Reckless, Touching Evil) stars as Barry, a working-class cop assigned to protect the queen's youngest son (Rupert Penry-Jones, Charlotte Gray, The Four Feathers), a new student at Cambridge. Tara Fitzgerald (Brassed Off!, Frenchman's Creek) is Grace, an American exchange student both men fall for. When the prince proves as inept at love as he is at learning, the macho bodyguard becomes tutor as well as protector, ghostwriting sweet nothings and academic assignments, all the while repressing his own feelings for Grace. As seen on BBC America and PBS's Masterpiece Theatre as The Prince of Hearts. "It's a delight. . .very funny and touching" —Daily Mail (U.K.).

 Good movie, weak ending April 25, 2008
I like this film. A male cinderella story that was marred slightly by the political ending. The film would have ended better leaving off with just the Robson Green character's transformation. I thought the Prince's learned nothing and was nothing more than incidental. Will be ordering more Robson Green. He is a wonderfully charismatic actor.

Another delightful Robson Green film. Great supporting cast. As an American I feel pity for the monarchy but don't misinterpret this. This is a great romp. We had tried to find this but we never could because we knew it as "The King's Bodyguard" but at last we have it and enjoy it each time we need a good laugh.

I got the dvd in a very reasonable time and have watched it several times since. It is a simple story, but it has a feel good ending.
A superbly produced and thoroughly entertaining British drama production October 12, 2005

Robson Green stars as Barry, a working-class cop assigned to protect the queen's youngest son who is a new student at Cambridge in The Student Prince, a superbly produced and thoroughly entertaining British drama production. The fun begins when cop bodyguard and the prince encounter Grace, an American exchange student for whom they both fall -- hard. When the prince proves as inept at love as he is at learning, the bodyguard finds himself become tutor as well as protector, ghostwriting sweet nothings and academic assignments, all the while repressing his own feelings for Grace. A BBC American and PBS "Masterpiece Theatre" production that would make a splendid and very popular addition to any community library Video/DVD collection, The Student Prince is widescreen, full color, 92-minutes, and enhanced with this DVD format to include a Robson Green biography, a photo gallery, and cast filmographies.
Quite satisfied October 5, 2005
