Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have hurt their images due to constant victimization through their narratives. The couple has created a rift between them and the royal family. They stepped down from royal duties in 2020, and since then, the two have pushed their narrative about the ill-treatment from the family after shifting to the USA.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle bagged deals with media giants like Netflix and Spotify to create content. They released their docuseries titled ‘Harry & Meghan’ on Netflix, which created a lot of chatter around the royal family. Meghan also launched her podcast ‘Archetypes’ on Spotify and gained a lot of traction, beating Joe Rogan’s podcast. However, recently, the couple had their Spotify deal canceled. There were conjectures about Netflix canceling the deal, but Harry and Meghan have found a project for their next Netflix venture.
Prince Harry And Meghan Markle’s Monetizes On Princess Diana’s Tragedy
Princess Diana had a tragic accident in Paris in August 1997, which led to her death. It deeply affected both her children, Prince Harry and Prince William. The former has been vocal about how her death sent him into depression, and he resorted to alcohol to numb his pain. In the recent Netflix docuseries, he drew a parallel between Princess Diana and Meghan Markle’s lives.
Now, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are adapting a novel for the screen that is similar to Diana’s car accident. They have purchased the rights to Carley Fortune’s book ‘Meet Me at the Lake.’
It was released in May and became ‘The New York Times’ bestseller. As per Deadline, the novel explores themes like “childhood trauma, including losing a parent in a car crash, mental health challenges, and post-natal depression.” A source told The Sun, “The themes of the book gripped the couple, and it was chosen for their first adaptation with Netflix.”
