Lifetime to Make Another Film About Prince Harry and Meghan Markle

Lifetime is expanding its Harry & Meghan movie franchise to air a third movie about the embattled royal couple Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.

In the wake of Oprah Winfrey’s blockbuster interview with the former Duke and Duchess of Sussex, Lifetime has greenlit Harry & Meghan: Escaping the Palace; which promises to “reveal what ultimately lead to the couple’s break from the royal family.”

The new film is the follow-up to Lifetime’s first two films. The 2018 entry Harry & Meghan chronicled the newlyweds’ love story. 2019’s Harry & Meghan: Becoming Royal, which looked at their experiences inside the Royal Family during their first year of marriage.

Lifetime is now billing the three movies as their Harry & Meghan movie franchise trilogy. Casting is currently underway for Escaping the Palace. Production will begin this spring, with a premiere coming in a few months.

Here’s the logline for the movie:

“Harry & Meghan: Escaping the Palace reveals what really happened inside the palace that drove Harry and Meghan to leave everything behind in order to make a future for themselves and their son Archie. The movie will detail Meghan’s growing isolation and sadness, their disappointment that ‘The Firm’ was not defending them against the press’s attacks.”

“It will also explore Harry’s fear that history would repeat itself and he would not be able to protect his wife and son from the same forces that caused his mother’s untimely death. Harry & Meghan: Escaping the Palace will also reveal the private family feuds that lead to the ultimate break from the royal ties.”
