“The Royal We” (the 2025 Hallmark TV movie about Princess Beatrix) was filmed in Bulgaria , with production centered in the capital city of Sofia.

Main filming locations

  • The movie’s primary setting was Sofia, Bulgaria’s capital, which provided the royal-style architecture and city backdrops for palace exteriors and urban scenes.
  • Additional filming used various locations in and around Sofia chosen for their European aristocratic look, standing in for the fictional royal country in the movie.

Quick context for fans

  • The choice of Bulgaria, especially Sofia, is part of a wider trend of romantic and royal-themed TV movies using Eastern European cities for their mix of historic buildings and cost-effective production.
  • Viewers often assume the film was shot in the UK because of the royal theme, but all confirmed production information points to Bulgaria rather than Britain.
