A royal love story: HOLLYWOOD WOOS HARRY & MEGHAN

First there was the six-part docu-series. Then there was the memoir. Now it looks like we could F get Harry and Meghan: The Movie.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are reportedly in talks to make a film about their lives. According to one source, they have been having discussions with Netflix - with whom they already have a multimillion-dollar deal - to produce a movie that will focus on their experience of being working royals in the UK and the reasons behind their abrupt departure in 2019.

The insider says the couple believe they have a "bigscreen story to tell about what happened at the palace", despite the fact they've already revealed many details of their lives in the documentary series Harry & Meghan and Harry's memoir Spare. "There are lots of nuances from their story that they still feel are missing after the documentary and Harry's book."

They've previously pitched ideas for children's shows and documentaries, but Netflix wants "the juicy stuff" about their lives, says the source, and would be willing to pay big bucks. "They would get a handsome payday for it, which is hugely tempting. Meghan is really pushing for it to happen, while Harry wants to tread more carefully. But they are entertaining the idea and their team is talking about the kind of money they would want for the rights to their story.”
