Lifetime to make new movie following Harry & Meghan’s ‘controversial conscious uncoupling from the crown’
ROYAL fans can look forward to Megxit the movie as Harry and Meghan’s most controversial decision gets the Hollywood treatment.
Lifetime, who already produced two films based on the royal couple, has announced plans for Harry & Meghan: Escaping the Palace.
The TV movie will present a dramatised account of “the couple’s controversial conscious uncoupling from the crown, after the birth of their son Archie” reports.
“The movie details the struggles of the new parents and unique challenges of being part of the royal family, which ultimately led Harry and Meghan to give up their royal ties to forge a new life on their own terms.”
Plans for casting and a release date are on hold due to the coronavirus pandemic.
The film will follow two previous TV movies produced by Lifetime chronically the royal couple’s lives.
The first, Harry & Meghan: A Royal Romance, was released in 2018 to mark the couple’s wedding.
Harry & Meghan: Becoming Royal debuted a year later, dramatising the couple’s first year as the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.
Harry & Meghan: Becoming Royal starred American actress Tiffany Smith as the Duchess of Sussex as well as Poldark's Charlie Field who plays 34-year-old Prince Harry.
While Parisa Fitz-Henley and Murray Fraser took the lead roles in the first biopic.
Harry and Meghan walked away from the royal family in order to become financially independent earlier this year, after their hopes of earning money while still supporting the Queen were ruled out.
The couple are now raising their son Archie in LA.
