Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's explosive royal exit is set to be made into a film.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have already had two previous films made about their relationship and Lifetime has revealed plans to cover a third installment based on the latest developments of the Sussexes - including them stepping down as senior working royals.
The movie, entitled Harry & Meghan: Escaping the Palace, is expected to "reveal what ultimately led to the couple's break from the royal family", according to a release.
The full logline teases, ‘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 and 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.’
It continued, ‘Harry & Meghan: Escaping the Palace will also reveal the private family feuds between Will and Harry, Kate and Meghan, and Harry with Will and Charles, that lead to the ultimate break from the royal ties.’
