Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are reportedly set to produce a £3million Netflix film.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, who signed an estimated $100 million deal with the streaming giant in September 2020, are said to have bought the rights to the novel ‘Meet Me At The Lake’ by Carley Fortune – which is being turned into a movie.
The book deals with themes that the couple relate to, such as childhood trauma over losing a parent in a car crash and mental health.
A source told The UK Sun: “The themes of the book gripped the couple and it was chosen for their first adaptation with Netflix.”
The book is set near Toronto in Canada, where Meghan lived when she first started dating Harry and was starring in Suits.
Meghan and Harry’s five-year deal with Netflix allows them to produce documentaries, docuseries, feature films, scripted shows and children’s programming for the streaming giant.
In a statement after signing the deal, the couple said: “Our focus will be on creating content that informs but also gives hope. As new parents, making inspirational family programming is also important to us.”
