Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are venturing into the film industry with the acquisition of the screen rights to a romantic novel. As part of their Netflix contract, the power couple will produce the film adaptation of a Canadian author’s book, which happens to mirror their own lives.

The novel titled Meet Me at the Lake by Carley Fortunes follows the journey of a couple who meet in their thirties and navigate life together, facing the challenges of grief, mental health struggles, and childhood trauma. The story is set in the picturesque city of Toronto, Canada, where Meghan previously resided while filming the popular TV show Suits, the show that first brought her and Harry together.

Production will encounter the obstacles due to the ongoing SAG-AFTRA strike, which will cause delays in the filming process.

According to The Sun, the story’s compelling narrative captivated the attention of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, prompting them to make the decisive move to adapt it with Netflix. This venture is estimated to be valued at an impressive $100 million, underscoring the significance of the project for the couple.

The success of this film adaptation will play a pivotal role in shaping the future of their partnership with Netflix. Notably, their prior collaboration of their groundbreaking documentary series garnered widespread acclaim, attracting a substantial audience and yielding promising results.
