Meghan Markle could encounter fresh criticism in the upcoming documentary Harry - The Lost Prince, set to debut on December 3. The film, directed by Ulrike Grunewald, examines the challenges and changes faced by Meghan and Harry since stepping down as senior royals five years ago.
The documentary delves into the couple’s life in Montecito with their children, Archie and Lilibet, while exploring the broader impact of their royal departure. Grunewald, who travelled to California for the project, hinted that some content might make for uncomfortable viewing, particularly regarding Meghan’s evolving public image.
“The most damaging allegations can only come from within,” Grunewald told Express, noting that the film reflects on one of the Royal Family’s most challenging eras since Edward VIII’s abdication. The late Queen’s view that royals cannot be "half in and half out" will also feature as a key theme.
The documentary scrutinises criticism surrounding Meghan’s role in initiatives like the Invictus Games and the couple’s Archewell Foundation. Grunewald acknowledged concerns about the foundation’s tangible impact but highlighted optimism from some quarters about their potential to contribute to society and even the monarchy.
As anticipation builds, Harry - The Lost Prince promises a candid look at the Sussexes' post-royal journey, their influence, and the ongoing challenges of balancing public and personal aspirations.
