According to an expert, the Sussexes have certainly caused quite a stir within the royal family. This all began with their much-talked-about interview with Oprah Winfrey back in March 2021. And let's not forget the additional claims made in their Netflix documentary last December, not to mention Harry's upcoming tell-all memoir, "Spare."
Prince Harry is set to return to the UK next month, coinciding with the first anniversary of Queen Elizabeth II's passing, to attend the WellChild Awards. There's a glimmer of hope that this trip might pave the way for a meeting with the King and potentially lead to a breakthrough in their tense relationship.
One entertainment expert believes that more public appearances from the Sussexes, coupled with progress in any peace talks between Harry and Charles, could mean we get to see more of Archie and Lilibit. Mark Boardman, in conversation with the Daily Express, pointed out that the success of their production company, Archewell Productions, could further solidify their presence in the media landscape. However, this outcome will also be shaped by their broader contributions to the world of entertainment.
To strengthen this newly emerging relationship, more public appearances by Harry and Meghan are deemed necessary. If potential peace talks between Harry and the King next month help heal the family's wounds, the British public could look forward to more appearances by Prince Archie and Princess Lilibit at future events, which would certainly be in Harry's favor.
Boardman also commented on reports that Harry and Meghan's company, Archewell Productions, has secured the film rights to the best-selling novel "Meet Me at the Lake." This three-million-pound deal suggests that Harry is currently focusing on "Heart of Invictus," a documentary series he's executive producing for Netflix, while Meghan is planning a significant relaunch, which reportedly holds a few surprises.
As for Meghan's next move, it's still a bit uncertain, but an insider has hinted at an unexpected direction that may not align with people's expectations. This has led Boardman to predict that the Duchess of Sussex might take on a producing role for the first time as part of their substantial £80 million deal with Netflix.
He mentioned to the Daily Express, "Meghan will be planning new philanthropic endeavors and will no doubt relaunch her media career Stateside." However, it might take some time before we see the finished product of her projects, many of which are currently on hold. If the right offer doesn't come along, Meghan can always rely on the success of "Meet Me at the Lake."
Now, it's important to note that while there's no guarantee that Meghan will play the lead role in this production, the storyline, which revolves around a couple meeting in their 30s, does seem to resonate with their own love story. Prince Harry, with no acting experience, might not take a lead role, but a smaller part for Meghan could pave the way for her to try her hand at producing and gain greater control over the content.
"Meet Me at the Lake" has enjoyed significant success with readers, selling an impressive 37,000 copies in its first week on sale. The novel explores themes of love, childhood trauma, and postnatal depression, making it a compelling choice for adaptation.
