What’s the story?
The Princess Switch 3: Romancing the Star.
Wait, didn’t we watch that last year?
That was The Princess Switch: Switched Again. This is the third instalment in the Netflix festive romcom franchise.
A brief recap, please.
Well, the first movie, The Princess Switch, stars Vanessa Hudgens as Stacy, a Chicago baker who visits the fictional European country of Belgravia.
She meets Margaret, Duchess of Montenaro (also played by Hudgens), who is her double and they switch places.
The second film, The Princess Switch: Switched Again, sees Stacy and Margaret pull the switcheroo again with a third lookalike, scheming Lady Fiona (Hudgens again), joining in the fun. The latest flick sees the trio track down a stolen relic.
Anything else?
While the original movie was made in Romania, the subsequent films have been shot in Scotland. Keep your eyes peeled for locations, such as Newbattle Abbey College near Dalkeith and Hopetoun House in West Lothian.
Is there a fourth lookalike?
Unlikely. As Hudgens herself has said: “I would 100 per cent lose my mind if I tried to add another me, even though it would probably be Scottish. I love that accent and it would be a great excuse to master the Scottish accent. But no, that’s not happening.”

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
