The Student Prince (1997)

The talented star of Wire in the Blood plays a bodyguard for an heir to the British throne in the Masterpiece Theatre production The Student Prince (1997). Robson Greer stars as Barry Grimes, a decorated cop whose big break isn’t quite what he had in mind. Assigned to guard the queen’s youngest son (Rupert Penry-Jones) as the boy begins his stint at Cambridge, the blue-collar Brit quickly learns that his blueblood charge isn’t much like his plain-talking, hard-drinking buddies on the police force. He does, however, have an everyman’s taste in women; both Grimes and the prince fall quickly in love with the effervescent Grace (Tara Fitzgerald), causing plenty of tension over who will get to bag the babe. Fitzgerald and co-star Phillippa Wilson offer up heaps of the stuff that the working-class and aristocrats can both agree on--female flesh.
