Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are actively utilizing their lucrative $100 million Netflix deal, with multiple projects in various stages of development. The Duke and the Duchess are at it in partnership with the streamer to recreate the couple's iconic 2022 run with their six-episode tell-all bombshell docuseries Harry & Meghan. Among their upcoming projects, their adaptation of Carley Fortune's novel Meet Me at the Lake has shown significant progress.

As Prince Harry and Meghan Markle strive to make the most of their Netflix partnership, the author has made public the status of production of the adaptation.
