The first glimpses of Lifetime’s upcoming movie aboutMeghan MarkleandPrince Harry’s retreat from royal life has been released, and it has a bittersweet message:Not all fairy tales have the perfect ending.
Lifetime shared a brief teaser forHarry & Meghan: Escaping the Palaceon Instagram on Wednesday, and it is full of flashes of the couple’s tumultuous last few years, which were previously imagined for television inHarry & Meghan: A Royal Romancefrom 2018 and 2019’sBecoming Royal.
Harry wakes up in a cold sweat as he tells Meghan, “I see you literally being hounded to death, and I’m powerless to stop it.”
Prince Harry, 36, has been candid and vulnerable in real life, discussing the toll his divided loyalties have taken on him, particularly in the past few years since he met, fell in love with, married and started a family with Meghan, 39.
For her part, Meghan declares in frustration: “I am the person who is strong and gets things right.”
Escaping the Palacewill portray both Harry and Meghan’s struggles and strain under the pressure of media scrutiny, including Harry’s trauma over how similarly relentless attention led to the death of his mother,Princess Diana.
In March, Harry expressed some of these concerns in the couple’sinterviewwithOprah Winfrey, a recreation of which also appears in the teaser.
