Kristoffer Polaha’s First Hallmark Movie Was With A Future Royal

Although it feels like Kristoffer Polaha has been acting in romcoms on the feel-good network for years, his first Hallmark movie was in 2016. That was seven years ago. The movie is Dater’s Handbook, and his co-star was Meghan Markle. She portrays a woman who uses a book of dating rules to find Mr. Right. But, she doesn’t count on an REO Speedwagon-loving free-spirited guy to be the man of her dreams.

Polaha revealed that he and the future Duchess of Sussex didn’t think anyone would end up seeing this movie. He shared, “We didn’t understand what Hallmark was at that time, neither one of us.” However, later that year, she met Prince Harry and after that, the “Entire Commonwealth watched that movie over and over and over again.”
