According to TVLine, the third installment of the couple’s life will be a fictionalized version of Megxit, their momentous decision to walk away from life as senior royals.

The first film aired in May 2018, a week before their wedding. Parisa Fitz-Henley and Murray Fraser played Meghan and Harry.

The second flick aired in May 2019 and was a fictional account of the time period prior to the marriage plus their first months of matrimony. In that movie, Tiffany Smith and Charlie Field played the title roles.

What will Lifetime’s Third Movie About Meghan Be About?

IN the third movie viewers can expect to see, “the struggles of the new parents and unique challenges of being part of the royal family,” that apparently figured into their decision to ditch home and family for a new life in America.

Casting for the project has not yet been announced, and thus far there is no release date.  Lifetime’s first two movies about Meghan were Harry & Meghan: A Royal Romance and Harry & Meghan: Becoming Royal

According to TVLine the made-for-TV flick will present, “the couple’s controversial conscious uncoupling from the crown, after the birth of their son Archie.”

Fans will reportedly see, “the struggles of the new parents and unique challenges of being part of the royal family, which ultimately led Harry and Meghan to give up their royalties to forge a new life on their own terms.”

There are few details available at this time, but the project will have plenty of published accounts of Megxit to draw on. When Harry and Meghan announced they were stepping back from royal life it was the first time the world got an inkling of the tumult that was to follow.

Meghan chose January 8, one day before Kate Middleton’s birthday, to announce on Instagram that they were leaving their old roles behind and planned to become financially independent.  They made good on the first promise, the second one not so much.

Meghan Has Yet To Buy Their Own House In North America

So far the couple has lived in at least two mansions following Megxit, neither one of them their own. They have yet to obtain regular work, the kind which would allow true financial independence.

At this time they are staying at Tyler Perry’s California digs but thought to be looking for their own place.
