Are Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s Hollywood dreams in jeopardy? | Royals Recap
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s plans for Hollywood may be uncertain as they settle into life back in the UK. Two Netflix films linked to the couple remain in development, with sources reporting no visible progress since March, prompting questions about the future of their screen projects.
A second source says that remaining in development is standard practice in the film industry, so the status alone does not establish that the projects are in jeopardy. The report names the films as “Meet Me at the Lake” and “The Wedding Date”, and also mentions how Harry and Prince William are separately keeping their late mother Princess Diana’s legacy alive.
In short
- Two Netflix films remain in development.
- Sources say there has been no apparent progress since March.
- A source says this status is standard in the industry.
Steelman: both sides, in good faith
The strongest fair case each way — we don't pick a winner.
The case for
The lack of visible progress since March could reasonably raise doubts about whether the films will reach production, especially as Harry and Meghan’s circumstances and priorities may be changing. For those who see the projects as part of the couple’s Hollywood ambitions, prolonged uncertainty is a fair reason to question their prospects.
The case against
Film projects can remain in development for extended periods, so the reported status does not by itself show that either film is in trouble. Without evidence of cancellation or a missed production commitment, it is reasonable to regard their future as uncertain rather than conclude that the couple’s screen plans are jeopardised.
