The Duke and Duchess of Sussex saga continues at Lifetime: The cable net is developing a third movie, tentatively titled Harry & Meghan: Escaping the Palace, which would serve as a follow-up to Harry & Meghan: A Royal Romance and Harry & Meghan: Becoming Royal.
The biopic will chronicle “the couple’s controversial conscious uncoupling from the crown, after the birth of their son Archie,” per the official synopsis. “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.”
No casting has been announced yet.
