Markle will be the first person of mixed race heritage and the second American to marry into the British royal family which has attracted a lot of international attention and debate.
The engagement, which was announced on November 27, 2017, prompted comments about the possible social significance of Meghan Markle becoming a proudly mixed-race royal.
The movie will be executively produced by Merideth Finn and Michele Weiss Scarlett.
While Lacey and Terrence Coli penned the script, Menhaj Huda will direct.
Principal production begins this week in Vancouver and Los Angeles, with the movie set to debut on Lifetime before the wedding billed to take place on May 19.
