After Meghan Markle's controversial movie role, the couple, who are now residing in Hollywood, are planning to create a Netflix film based on a popular novel, which cost them a substantial 3 million pounds. This shift to fiction production follows their lackluster performance with personal documentaries, particularly their Spotify deal.
The chosen novel, "Meet Me at the Lake" by former journalist Karly Fortune, weaves a captivating love story involving a couple in their 30s. Interestingly, the book's narrative shares similarities with Harry and Meghan's own journey, tackling themes such as childhood trauma, the loss of a parent in a car accident, mental health challenges, and postnatal depression. It also includes explicit adult content and explores the challenges of drug use. The story is set in Toronto, Canada, where Meghan resided when she dated Harry.
However, the Spencer family is far from pleased with this development. They are incensed that Harry and Meghan continue to exploit Diana's tragic death for attention. They believe they have already endured enough from inaccurate portrayals in shows like Netflix's "The Crown." Diana's sister, Sarah Spencer, considers Meghan's actions disrespectful and dishonorable, accusing her of preventing Diana from resting in peace.
Contrary to "The Crown's" portrayal, Diana held Sarah Spencer in high regard. Royal expert Sarah Bradford asserts that Diana considered her sister as one of her few trusted friends and even referred to her as the only person she could trust. After Diana's untimely passing, Spencer actively worked to preserve her sister's legacy, playing a vital role in the Diana, Princess of Wales Memorial Fund, which raised millions for various charitable causes. She remained close to Diana's children and was committed to keeping her memory alive.
Presently, sources suggest that Sarah Spencer is contemplating using her influence over Diana's legacy to rein in Prince Harry and halt the exploitation of Diana's name.
The acquisition of this novel represents a significant achievement for the couple, marking their first major deal since their £6 million Spotify contract fell through. Notably, this also marks the first instance where Archewell Productions has adapted a novel into a fictional drama as part of their lucrative Netflix venture, reportedly worth £80 million, as reported by the Daily Mail.
Meghan's next endeavor appears to be in Hollywood directing. Sources close to the situation suggest that she is highly interested in working behind the camera. While the actualization of this remains uncertain, many wonder if she might consider rejoining the cast of "Suits" if a reboot were to materialize. According to one insider, Megan has been tight-lipped about revisiting the series, but there is hope that if the timing aligns, something can be worked out, as Meghan is reportedly open to the idea. Discussions on this matter have already begun.
