In Russian-language markets the film's title is "Realnaya lyubov" (Real Love).

When David (Hugh Grant) addresses his speech to the press, after the meeting with the President of the United States, he talks about the great things about Britain and candidly mentions 'Harry Potter.' Grant was set to appear as Gilderoy Lockhart in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (2002) but left the film due to scheduling conflicts. Harry Potter co-stars Emma Thompson, Alan Rickman, Bill Nighy and Frances de la Tour appear in Love Actually (2003), although the latter is seen only in deleted scenes.

Goofs
When the Prime Minister is going to find Natalie at the 'dodgy end of Wandsworth' his limo is viewed crossing Albert Bridge, but is actually driving away from Wandsworth in the direction of Chelsea. The Albert Bridge has three lanes, with two going in the direction of Chelsea, although now the central lane is blocked to reduce weight on the bridge during peak hour (changed 2007).

The license plates on the President's car as he pulls up are not US government plates but plates from the State of Washington.
