Season 1 Review: A quick summary makes it sound schlocky, but William & Catherine is pretty slick schlock. Read full review

Season 1 Review: This portrait of Prince William's courtship of Kate Middleton is better than April's plucky Lifetime movie. [29 Aug 2011, p.36]

Season 1 Review: The story of Prince William and Kate Middleton offers way too much of a Hallmark moment for the channel not to weigh in with a sentimental, heartwarming version of the year's favorite romance. Read full review
