Harry & Meg film sparks fury

The ongoing quest of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex to establish themselves as Hollywood royalty has ramped up big time. But their latest plan to produce a Netflix movie based on a novel with direct parallels to their lives has been branded “controversial” – escalating the “circus” the couple are creating, says a royal expert. And one aspect of their latest project in particular has caused fury among royal fans.

Harry and Meghan have reportedly acquired the screen rights to romantic novel Meet Me At The Lake by best-selling Canadian author Carley Fortune for £3 million. It centres on two characters, Fern and Will, who first meet in the Canadian city of Toronto, where Meghan once lived, and start up a romance in their thirties, much like Harry, 38, and Meghan, 42, did. It covers themes including alcohol, drug use and mental health – all topics which Harry wrote about at length in his bombshell memoir, Spare.

But most telling of all is that the storyline features a fatal accident which echoes the 1997 Paris crash involving Harry’s mother, the late Princess Diana.

Fans have harshly criticised the couple’s new business venture. One wrote on social media, “Thought they just wanted privacy?! It’s actually laughable.”

Another added, “This is getting to be a farce. This endless need for attention is exhausting. Why can’t they just enjoy their lives, their wealth, and more importantly their families?”

Other remarks included, “Harry and Meghan buying the film rights to a novel about a car crash, parents dying, etc continues to follow a theme – they think they are the modern-day Diana.”

Some have even resorted to cancelling their Netflix subscription.
