• She dances in her spare time, and it’s also her favorite way to stay fit!
• Besides dancing, Tiffany enjoys weightlifting and Core Power Yoga.
• Tiffany is a huge Disney fanatic: Disneyland is one of her frequent trips! She even rocks the Mickey Mouse ears!
• Charlie’s social media is full of family, friends, and his girlfriend, London actress Issy Knopfler. The two have been together since the spring of 2017 – a little over 2 years now! You can see a sweet photo of them below from Charlie’s Instagram:

• Charlie once posted on social media that his spirit animal is a alpaca. Ha, how funny!
• Charlie has definitely been bitten by the travel bug: he’s been to New York, LA, Germany, France, and Prague.
• Tiffany has been skydiving, scuba diving, and snorkeling. She did all of these amazingly fun things while on a trip to the British Virgin Islands at the beginning of this year.
• In order to take on the role of the Duchess, Tiffany studied Meghan’s journey from acting to being royalty, watching interviews and even talking with Parisa Fitz-Henley (the actress who portrayed Meghan in the first Lifetime film).

• Charlie actually grew a full beard and mustache for the role of the Prince, and his hair was colored slightly (he’s more blonde in real life than in the film).
• The one thing that surprised Charlie about this role was how many Americans are fascinated with the Royals (since Charlie’s British, for him, they’re his hometown’s royalty; akin to the US’ First Family). He thinks that Meghan and Harry are great role models, not just for England, but the world.
• For Tiffany, the one thing she really wanted to make sure was portrayed in the movie was Meghan’s family history. Tiffany, like Meghan, is from a multi-racial family, so it was important to her personally that the message of “love conquers all” came across onscreen. She has the upmost respect for both Meghan and Harry for sharing their journey with everyone.
