The story of Cinderella is the inspiration for this modern fairy tale starring Natalie Hall (“You’re Bacon Me Crazy,” “A Winter Princess”).
Hall plays a high fashion designer, hired to dress ladies of the wealthy Hamilton family, which are hosting a charity ball for the elite. Cindy's life takes an unexpected turn when Prince Ronan, played by Jonathan Keltz (“Cardinal,” “Reign”) comes to town to attend the gala.
Welcome to the completely spoiler-free royal filming locations of Fit for a Prince:
The flag on top of the royal residence used in the trailer has the English Heritage logo, the British charity that manages over 400 historic monuments, buildings, and places all across England.
The countryside mansion exterior was just used as the establishing shot. The aerial views of the estate could be any of the aristocratic countryside manors that you can find all over the United Kingdom.

The interior of the stately home was filmed at the Fairmont Château Laurier in downtown Ottawa, very close to Parliament Hill and all the Capitol's landmarks.
This is the same location used in the 2020 Christmas Hallmark movie A Christmas Carousel.

Although Jonathan Keltz looks like a bad guy out of a James Bond movie, he played a similar movie like this one in 2018 called Once Upon a Prince.
On this occasion, his character was also falling in love with an ordinary girl. The main cast is completed by Rebecca Lamarche as Brooke, Paris Jefferson as Rebecca, and Melinda Michael as Julia.
