Long before Meghan Markle tied the knot with the Duke of Sussex, she was a sensation in the acting realm. The actress-turned Duchess has had a varied career, from her breakout role in Suits to leaving behind her royal responsibilities to become a Netflix producer. Markle’s Archewell Productions is all set to return with a new project, Meet Me At The Lake. And recently, a huge update about the project surfaced online.

A while ago, the royal couple stepped foot in the film production industry. Shortly after, they acquired the screen rights for a best-selling romantic novel. Much to the delight of the fans, Meet Me At The Lake might bring a never-seen-before pair together.

Meet Me At The Lake by Carley Fortune is perhaps one of the most popular romantic novels. Owing to its massive popularity, the fans have been eager to witness how Archewell Productions brings the story to life. Amid the excitement surrounding the project, people might witness a star-studded duo of Meghan Markle and Leonardo DiCaprio for the first time on-screen. Reports by Entertainment Tonight Canada suggest that Archewell Productions are eyeing the Titanic star to play the lead man in the film.

Interestingly, the former Suits star might also be making a comeback. The reports further read she plans to play the actress opposite DiCaprio in the movie. Meet Me At The Lake follows the story of two strangers who crossed paths in the most unexpected times of their lives. As fate would have it, the duo was brought together when they needed each other the most.

Interestingly, the story follows an emotional concept and covers traumas of life such as losing a parent. Moreover, it will take place in Toronto, a place where Markle lived before meeting her Prince. Meanwhile, there seems to be an exciting reason behind why Prince Harry and Meghan Markle decided to adapt the story.

Why did the Sussexes decide to adapt Meet Me At The Lake?

The hugely anticipated adaptation will be a part of the royal couple’s $100 million deal with Netflix. This would mark the second time the third parties have collaborated following a hit documentary series. And interestingly, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have a peculiar reason behind adapting the rom-com novel.

A source close to the couple spoke to US Weekly, where he revealed how both Prince and Markle felt it was a perfect choice. He continued, “The story really spoke to the Sussexes and has a lot of parallels to their own life.” Interestingly, the original story has a similar arc to that of Harry’s, as it covers the trauma of losing a parent. The Duke lost his mother, Princess Diana, when he was just 12 years old.

The upcoming project on Netflix is speculated to be a massive hit for the streamer. Do you think Leonardo DiCaprio and Meghan Markle would make a good pair on-screen? Comment down below.
