A new day, a new Sussex deal! As if the existing and now-defunct projects have not caused enough chaos on the internet already, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have continued to strive for more. Following the Netflix bombshell docuseries and the discontinued $20 million fallout with be Swedish giant, the Duke and the Duchess of Sussex have bought in the exclusive rights of another multi-million partnership which is soon to yield a staggering fortune for the couple. 

As exclusively reported by the British tabloid, The Sun Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have bagged the film rights for a best-selling romantic novel. The Duke and the Duchess will exclusively produce the upcoming motion picture that will soon be adapted by Netflix. This means the duo will remain behind the cameras as they divert from personal docuseries to similar fictional adaptations. This 3.8 million dollar deal is reportedly part of their 100m partnership with the American streaming giant. 

The bestseller racked the shelves this year itself upon its release and has been in huge demand ever since. Meet Me at the Lake is reportedly a bestselling romantic novel penned by a former journalist and now author Carley Fortune.

Looking at the plot of the novel, experts reveal it bears a striking resemblance to their own life story. 

Meet Me at the Lake will portray Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s story, but in fiction

The self-exiled couple from the UK’s House of Windsor has made no secret of their ill-treatment by the seniors of Buckingham. As personal life stories took a toll on the couple ever since their childhood, their marital life too suffered a whirlwind of controversies. Insiders have even revealed to the outlet that, “The themes gripped the couple“. And they thus chose it for their first Netflix adaptation. 

Running somewhat parallel to their life, if not exactly, themes of childhood trauma, losing parents in a car crash, mental health struggles, and post-natal depression saturate the novel. The description of the book suggests that the story is apparently about a couple who met in their 30s and soon had to face the consequences of their disgraced marriage. Although happy within themselves, they had to battle through a lot for basic survival. Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have a slew of other pieces in the pipeline to rebuild their ranks in Hollywood.
