On May 19, Lifetime announced the cast and first photo of the film centering on the infamous moment that was “Megxit”.
According to the press release, Harry & Meghan: Escaping the Palace will include the real reason why Harry and Meghan left their royal life behind, as well as looking at their relationships with senior members of the royal family.
“The movie will detail Meghan’s growing isolation and sadness, their disappointment that ‘The Firm’ was not defending them against the press’s attacks and Harry’s fear that history would repeat itself and he would not be able to protect his wife and son from the same forces that may have contributed to his mother’s untimely death,” the press release reads.
“Harry & Meghan: Escaping the Palace will examine the dynamics between Will and Harry, Kate and Meghan, and Harry with Will and Charles, that lead to the ultimate break from the royal ties.”
Lifetime also announced the actors who will play the roles of Harry and Meghan for the movie, with Sydney Morton to play Meghan and Jordan Dean to play Harry.
“Wishing a Happy 3rd Anniversary to Harry & Meghan today!” Lifetime announced on Twitter.
“As a Wrapped present from Lifetime, we are excited to announce Sydney Morton and Jordan Dean as the stars of our upcoming original film Harry & Meghan: Escaping the Palace.”
The news came with a photo of the two actors dressed identical to Harry and Meghan on Commonwealth Day Service 2020 – their final engagement as senior royal family members.
Filming for the movie began this week in Vancouver, with an expected release for later this year.
The news comes after Meghan and Harry announced their first official Netflix project a few weeks ago, with Harry himself to serve as executive producer on the series, and will also appear on camera.
Meghan also announced her first book, which is inspired by Harry and their son Archie’s close relationship.
