It seems the Sussexes are at it again, this time with a new documentary set to premiere on Germany's ZDF Network. Titled Harry: The Lost Prince, the film is scheduled to air on December 3rd. But before you get too excited, don't expect it to live up to the dramatic hype surrounding it.
Directed by award-winning filmmaker Or Grunwald, Harry: The Lost Prince promises exclusive insights into the lives of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. Yes, we’re all bracing ourselves for the much-anticipated bombshells, but let’s take a moment and ask the obvious question: has this documentary been cleaned up to suit the Sussexes’ approval? The answer is a resounding yes.
The documentary will largely focus on Harry's charitable endeavors and his ongoing struggles within the royal family, an angle that’s become all too familiar. It’s basically a rehash of the same narrative we’ve heard ad nauseam from Harry and Meghan themselves. As if the world needs another reminder of how Harry’s role as the “spare” royal weighs on him, the film will explore how he’s been grappling with his position. Apparently, ZDF wants to highlight Harry’s endless search for a meaningful role, but let’s be real: we’ve all heard about this dilemma for years.
According to ZDF, Harry remains a figure of public interest, even in his self-imposed exile in sunny Montecito, as he clings to his fading fame while touting his humanitarian efforts. But here’s the kicker: they don’t seem to think it will be the critical documentary we were all hoping for. No juicy drama, no explosive family feuds—just more of Harry’s internal struggles.
While the documentary may touch on generational conflicts within the royal family, it’s likely to serve as a reminder of Harry’s transition from the beloved royal to the controversial figure who now divides public opinion. In short, we’re getting more of the same.
Apparently, Harry and Meghan’s lawyers have given this documentary a thorough once-over. So don’t expect any raw, unfiltered content about the couple’s life. Anything that strays from their carefully crafted narrative has likely been scrubbed away. The last thing Harry and Meghan need is another documentary that portrays them in anything less than a glowing light.
