Who’s getting married?

The groom is Prince Harry of the House of Windsor, Britain’s Royal Family. The younger brother of Prince William, Harry is sixth in line for the throne, but he does at least have some impressive titles, including Prince of Wales and Knight Commander of the Royal Victorian Order.

He’ll be marrying Meghan Markle, an American and former actress perhaps best known for her work on Suits.

The wedding will take place at St. George’s Chapel, after which the newlyweds will embark on a carriage procession through Windsor.

What’s the point of all this?

Although some might find monarchy outdated or even distasteful, the Royal Family is actually quite popular in the U.K., with Princes William and Harry particularly so. Even Americans, centuries after the country cut itself off from the British Empire, still have a surprising amount of admiration for the royals.

Some research even suggests that constitutional monarchies tend to function better than democracies without royals.

If you were to ask anyone what the most underrated month in the year is, they'd probably look at you funny and wonder why you're asking such a question. Once the shock passes, they'd probably reply, "April." After all, nothing really big happens in April, and when people think of spring, it's usually March that comes to mind.

Thus, it makes sense that such an underrated month would be perfect for watching equally underrated movies. Movie lovers probably watched a few hidden streaming movie gems in March and every prior month, but April is actually the perfect time to explore and engage with films few might know about. So buckle up and enjoy this selection of hidden streaming movies that will make April more enjoyable.

Don’t let these 3 hidden April 2024 streaming TV shows fly under your radar

Every month, all the top streaming services release new shows. Some of these shows get a lot of attention with plenty of promotion leading up to their release, like Amazon Prime Video's Fallout. Others quietly premiere without much fanfare, some of which get more attention once people start to watch and chatter begins to form. But when great shows fade into the background of more high-profile titles, subscribers may potentially miss out on quality content.

These three hidden-gem streaming TV shows for April fall into both these categories. You might have heard of one or more of them but are waiting to see if they’re worth watching. We can assure you that all three of these shows are ones you don’t want to miss.
