New Prince Harry and Meghan Markle film trailer released on leaving Royal life

The new trailer has been released for a film that will document the story of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle as they step back from Royal duties and life.

Called 'Harry & Meghan: Escaping the Palace', the upcoming movie is set to be released this Autumn and features actors Jordan Dean and Sydney Morton portraying the Sussexes.

The movie is produced by Lifetime, which recently released a short trailer for the upcoming film, and is set to focus on the whirlwind last few years that the couple has faced, the Mirror reports.

Amid a backdrop of dramatic music, the trailer begins with Harry telling his wife: "I see you literally being hounded to death, and I'm powerless to stop it."

His remarks cut between images of the pair as they sit down with Oprah Winfrey, look after baby Archie alongside scenes filmed in what appears to be the palace.

In the trailer, Meghan then declares: "I am the person who is strong and gets things right."

At another point, Harry wakes up in a cold sweat as he worries about his wife.

The brief clip also features a poignant message emblazoned across the screen that reads: 'Not all fairy tales have the perfect ending'.

So far, no official release date has been confirmed but it is understood that the production will be aired later this year.

It is not the first time that Harry and Meghan's lives have been reimagined for the silver screen, and two movies were previously released in 2018 and 2019.

The married couple, who have just welcomed a baby girl, stepped away as senior representatives last year to lead a quiet life outside of the public eye.

They have since gone on to hash out a lucrative deal with Netflix and Spotify that is reportedly worth around £89million.

Back in March, Harry claimed his family “literally cut me off” and Meghan also revealed that a member of the royals had raised “concerns and conversations about how dark his skin might be when born.”

In later interviews, Harry opened up about his mental health as well as seeking therapy before he decided to step away.
