Prince Harry and Meghan Markle Acquire Film Rights for Romantic Novel, Set to Release on Netflix

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle to Adapt "Meet Me at the Lake" for Netflix

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have acquired the rights to the popular book "Meet Me at the Lake" and are planning to transform it into a romantic comedy for Netflix. The couple obtained the movie rights through their production company, Archewell Productions. The novel reportedly shares similarities with their own life stories.

"Meet Me at the Lake" is a book written by Carley Fortune that revolves around the lives of two main characters, Will and Fern, who meet in their thirties. The book explores various themes, including childhood trauma, such as the experience of losing a parent in a car crash, mental health challenges, and post-natal depression. The story also draws a parallel to real-life events, as one of the characters, Harry, has a mother who died in a car crash while being pursued by paparazzi in 1997, referencing Princess Diana's tragic death.

Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, will be producing a new Netflix series based on the book "Meet Me At The Lake." The book, written by Emily Fortune, is a love story set in Toronto, where Markle used to live while filming the TV show "Suits" and where she began dating Prince Harry. The book was a New York Times bestseller for five weeks. Markle expressed her excitement about working with Netflix and Archewell, her and Harry's production company, to bring the story to the screen. She described the love story of the characters Will and Fern as dear to her heart and expressed her belief that it is a perfect partnership.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have signed a multi-year deal with Netflix. The deal started with the release of a documentary series called "Harry & Meghan," which chronicles their journey from their early courtship to their decision to leave the royal family and settle in California.
