Meghan Markle considers biopic that could portray royals in bad light

Source claims Meghan Markle is exploring project centred on Prince Harry relationship and departure from royal life

Meghan Markle is reportedly considering a film project based on her relationship with Prince Harry, according to a source who spoke to Star. The proposed biopic would focus on their love story and the events that led to their departure from royal duties.

The source claims discussions are ongoing about a project that would present what they described as an unfiltered account of the couple’s experiences.

The idea follows previous public statements made by the Duke and Duchess of Sussex through a documentary series, a memoir and multiple interviews in which they addressed their treatment by the royal family.

According to the source, Meghan believes a feature-length film would allow audiences to better understand her perspective. “She says no one really grasps what she and Harry have lived through,” the source said.

“She believes that a film, if it’s done properly, will give people the chance to see their side of the story in a way no interview or book ever could.”

Meghan and Harry met in 2016 and married in 2018. In his 2023 memoir Spare, Harry wrote about tensions surrounding the period leading up to their wedding, including an incident involving Princess Kate. The couple stepped back from their royal roles in 2020 and later relocated to the United States.

The source added that any film adaptation would not portray the royal family favourably and suggested Meghan is aware the project could prompt backlash. “She knows they’ll explode, but Meghan doesn’t seem at all worried over the backlash,” the source said.

Public perception is said to be a key consideration. The source claimed Meghan believes audiences would be more sympathetic if they were able to see the full timeline of events depicted on screen. “She’s sure that once people witness the full story arc, they’ll understand why she and Harry made the choices they did,” the source added.
