Regardless of the gaining and losing of Hollywood ties, the California royals Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have made sure not to put a halt on their business endeavors. The dramatic Spotify split brought along a whole new wave of criticism disrupting their image. However, the Sussexes were quick to make a comeback. The American streamer, after all, has been sticking with them through thick and thin. Nonetheless, as always, each of their Hollywood projects has been tagged as a money-making agenda. 

Acquiring the filming rights of the New York bestseller, Meet Me at the Lake, the Sussex couple has already amassed innumerable headlines over the internet. Despite the polarizing reactions, Streamer and Archewell are iron-willed to move ahead with the tasks. The same was confirmed by the author of the book. “I’m so thrilled about working with Netflix and Archewell to bring Meet Me at the Lake to the screen,” said Carley Fortune to Vogue. 

Weighing on the same, an entertainment expert, Mark Boardman expressed to Newsweek, “the novel’s romantic themes present a strategic opportunity for Harry and Meghan”. Adapting a proven winner to the screen can be a clever move to establish a firm foot in the industry, he added. It would “potentially” help the Sussexes to help engage the fans who are already rendering the book captivating. 

Experts weigh on Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s link to the novel

According to previous reports, the Sussexes and the protagonist of the book bear an uncanny resemblance to each other. The two main characters in the best seller meet in their 30s. Struggling through the outward forces that keep ripping them apart, they win a life of their own. Undoubtedly so, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle could quite relate.

The expert thus explains how the plot line, the treacherous ups and downs with its steamy scenes can prove quite a banger for the couple. It “could serve as a reflection of their personal journey, offering a unique lens into their shared experiences,” said Broadman to the outlet. Following the personal link, they also share professional ties with the book’s publisher.

Penguin Publications is the publisher of the Fortune bestseller. Unsurprisingly, Penguin also was the publisher of Prince Harry’s tell-all memoir, Spare.
