Prince Harry and Meghan Markle ‘crisis’ documentary to be aired on ITV

A ‘crisis’ documentary about Prince Harry and Meghan Markle will air on ITV this weekend.

Hosted by royal editor Chris Ship, Harry & Meghan: A Royal Crisis? will look back at the Duke and Duchess of Sussex's love story.

It will also look into the potential repercussions for the rest of the royal family.

This comes following the news that Meghan has apparently returned to Canada to be with their son, Archie, while Harry stays in the UK.

An ITV billing told Hello Magazine: "The love story of Meghan Markle and Prince Harry had, from the start, been one that promised to reshape and modernise the British monarchy.

“But the cracks began to show as their unease and unhappiness in their roles became increasingly evident, culminating in a no-holds barred interview for ITV with Tom Bradby last autumn."

It continued: "But as the couple announced their plan to withdraw from their lives as senior royals in an unprecedented and shocking statement, that blindsided the family and sent the media into meltdown, ITV asks why this has happened and what’s next for the couple and their ambition to become new ‘progressive’, financially independent royals and how this sits with their place in the family."

On Wednesday, Harry and Meghan rocked the world with their decision to ‘step back’ as senior royals in a bid to become more financially independent.

They announced their shock news on their Sussex Royal Instagram account to their 10million+ followers.

So far only Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II has spoken about their plans.

In a statement via Buckingham Palace, she said: "Discussions with The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are at an early stage.

“We understand their desire to take a different approach, but these are complicated issues that will take time to work through."

Harry & Meghan: A Royal Crisis? will air on Sunday night on ITV at 10.15pm.
