The long-awaited "Megan V Harry" documentary is finally out, and the excitement is palpable as Andy Signor and Steph the Alter Nerd share some exclusive insights into how the project came together.
Andy opens the discussion by expressing his excitement about the project finally being available to fans, emphasizing that the documentary has been two years in the making. "If you think something like this can be done overnight, you have no idea," Andy said. He adds that after a whirlwind month of finalizing the documentary, the team is thrilled to have it out in the world for people to enjoy.
Steph, who has been busy leading up to the documentary's release, reflects on the challenges and rewarding aspects of creating the series. "It’s been a lot of work, but now that it’s out, it feels so good," she shares. The team worked hard to get the documentary ready by the end of the year, and they didn’t want to delay the release any longer. "We had a deadline, and we didn’t want to keep pushing it. The story is so relevant right now, and we wanted to get it out there," Andy adds.
The documentary, which dives into the complexities of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's relationship, is now available for viewing on their Patreon, with all three episodes ready for fans to watch. For those who haven’t seen it yet, the team plays the trailer once more to remind viewers of what to expect.
The trailer teases an intense exploration of the royal couple’s life, with a speculative look at what might happen if their fairy-tale marriage were to unravel. "This isn’t a prediction, it’s a thought experiment," the trailer says, delving into the idea of Harry and Meghan potentially parting ways. The couple’s international fame and the pressures of royal life are at the center of the narrative.
Steph explains how making a trailer is an incredibly challenging task. "You want to sell it without giving too much away," she says. The pivotal moment for them came during Prince Harry's appearance at the New York Times Summit, where he made a comment about divorce rumors that fueled speculation even further. Andy notes that Harry’s response didn’t exactly dismiss the rumors, which only added to the intrigue.
"That comment really intensified the rumors," says Steph. "It made it clear that not everything is perfect with them." The documentary draws attention to these kinds of moments that hint at deeper issues between the couple.
Throughout the process, the documentary features a wide range of experts and people close to Harry and Meghan. Andy reflects on how their insights were crucial to shaping the documentary. "We had an amazing crew of experts who helped guide the narrative," he says. They shot in various locations, including London and Los Angeles, gathering key footage for the series.
Andy also reveals some behind-the-scenes moments, such as the filming with Christopher Melcher in London and the careful planning involved in capturing the footage. Despite some challenges in post-production, Andy believes the documentary came together well in the end, focusing on Harry and Meghan’s divorce rumors and the factors contributing to it.
Steph, who helped with the production, shares her thoughts on the intense preparation required for filming. "It was crazy but also a privilege to be a part of it," she says. The duo also faced accusations from online critics, who misunderstood the intent behind their filming in certain locations. But they stress that their goal was always to create an insightful documentary, not to "troll" the couple.
