Prince Harry and Meghan Markle Are Producing a Netflix Romance Film, The Wedding Date

Massively looking forward to this, they should have started with romcom adaptations over anything else. Meet me at the Lake will be released first I reckon. PS, I loved Meghan Markles wine 😀

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle Are Producing a Netflix Romance Film, The Wedding Date

They don’t t seem very good at organising though…

This thread isn’t about the other Royals . Think I will just attach H and M’s statement of 6 years ago no mention of flower sprinkles

IDK about that but they do need to get much better at promoting. Instagram stories won’t cut it in 2026.

So what did you think providing for their family would look like?! You can be amused by the way they choose to go about it but they were always going to have to work.

Is this some sort of tax evasion scheme?

Now this is funny, Netflix has been accused of doing so multiple times, especially at the rate at which they cancel shows or discard movies.

I think most people are capable of organising if they put their mind to it. No doubt they’ll have a team around to help/do though.

This project seems harmless, but as I said in a pp, it just goes to show that some people will have an issue with Meghan and Harry whatever they do. It’s therefore hard to take those posters seriously when they take issue with things which could be more problematic.

If Harry & Meghan are producing a film called The Wedding Date does that mean the film will be released 3 days before it Premieres?

I shan’t hold my breath

👏👏👏👏

Assuming this is legitimate, then I think this quite an intelligent way forward for M&H as regards brand building and making money.

Far better than the Jam making.

I'm no fan of either of them, I think their titles should be removed and neither should their children inherit any Prince and Princess titles. Their working for themselves in America, means they really do not need them and their children do not come to the UK in any case and must have little understanding of Royalty. Nonetheless, I hope they can achieve the (meaningful?) success they want. Ultimately it would be good to see Royals successfully making their own money.

Producing watchable fictional dramas based upon stories that have already achieved a ready and sellable audience (as opposed to being the stars of/creating the drama!) is a sensible idea. One wonders why on earth they didn't start off trying something like this in the beginning, especially with Meghan's exposure to her father's professional stage lighting career and her own acting career.

I need help in understanding something; when people say Meghan and Harry have been unsuccessful in their endeavours, I would like to understand what measures they are using to conclude that.

Their various ventures have been best sellers, hit Netflix top 10 across the world, things are sold out, etc. The only problem I ever see is the usual trolls and bots who rush to give bad reviews, to the point that no one takes these negative reviews seriously. Moreover, this is largely UK based unrelenting criticism that is overwhelmingly bias. What is worse is that what Harry and Meghan achieves compared to others who are celebrated as wild successes in the UK makes the UK look like a place that celebrates mediocrity but decry hard successful grafting.

The UK has shamed itself on the endless Meghan Markle bashing. It is so tedious that it has now become some kind of cult. I don't think Meghan is trying to win over the UK and by now she and her teams and backers do not expect to see any positive reviews from the UK so have probably discounted it as relevant it their plans.

What is clear, is that Harry and Meghan remains booked and doing well in the US. There are commentators who jump on the hate bandwagon in the US but one quick search and you will see that they are associated with the UK press, etc.

It's all very embarrassing but as I say, I really want to understand what is considered failure when on usual metrics they seem to be doing fine. There are many shows on Netflix that never make the top 10. Yet a show that makes tope 10 across the world is considered a failure because bots and trolls who hate Meghan Markle do the usual and expected thing of giving negative reviews and they expect sensible people and serious organisations to take them seriously. Yet these same organisations continue to work with Meghan and Harry and these people seem shocked and confused. Like WHY ARE THEY NOT TAKING OUR BAD REVIEWS SERIOUSLY?????????? Well because they know it is unserious bots and trolls on a hate campaign. Ultimately its the money that talks not bots and trolls.

The jam making is a success, so why should she abandon it? I'm really puzzled by all the experts saying what she should do and not do. She will do what is successful and what is successful is why brings in the money not all the manufactured hatred. The manufactured bias hatred cannot be something she would include in her decision-making. Why should she. I love that she is resolutely deaf to the shouts of those who hate her. They shout and shout and write bad reviews upon bad reviews. Years and years of vilifying the woman and still she stands. The UK may hate her but the UK is not the world. I hope she never listens to the advice of those who hate her. Let them troll, let them give bad reviews. Those giving the bad reviews, most have not achieve even a miniscule of what Meghan has achieve yet she is a failure. What does that say about them?

Honestly, the Meghan hate train is so out of style. Its boring and predictable. The usual bias criticisms are so transparent. The UK media's agenda so obvious and those who they get on the bandwagon in the US, likewise. No credibility is given to these bias criticism and hate reviews and campaigns. Why? Because they have gone over the top.

They have announced several drama projects "in development" to media fanfare ....
Meet Me At the Lake was announced in 2023 but 2 years later there is no director or cast attached to the project. There was also Bad Manners announced in 2023 - a Dickens/Great Expectations prequel where Miss Havisham is supposed to be some sort of feminist icon battling the patriarchal society - although it has not been mentioned since.

So it will be interesting to see if this project ever gets out of development and into production.

They didn’t say “ providing for our family “, they said they were “ providing our family with the space to focus “ etc
Very different..

So they must never make commercial decisions, prioritisation decisions, change their minds etc. So they must be held to an impossible standard. The fact that some of their projects are delayed or they decide not to go ahead with them means they are a failure and their other successes do not count? Moreover, by now most sensible people know to take the media narrative and spin on Harry and Meghan with a pinch of salt.

If you work for a successful business, are you telling me that that business have never decided to not go ahead with a project after review because the commercial landscape has changed? Are you saying that that successful business has never had delayed projects. Or even that this successful business has never had a failure?

Are there any others who you hold to that impossible standard? What about our Royal family? No unsuccessful projects, no delayed projects, no lacklustre projects?

Meghan and Harry have launched into the deep and whoever could put obstacles in their way, especially the UK media, did their damnest. So their success must be viewed in the context of so many people in the UK wishing and willing them to failure. Trolling, negative reviews, countless Youtube, social media, etc posts to try to destroy them. Their resilience and success are remarkable given the concerted efforts to block their paths.

Meghan's programmes are not my thing. I did watch the Masala Kids and thought it was good (too short I thought) and I hope there is a sequel. I'm not into cooking programmes and Rom Coms are not my thing but I wish them every success.

Why is being expected to actually follow through on things you’ve made a huge fanfare about being “held to an impossible standard”?!

You can disagree but that’s what it is. Netflix gets first option. They might come up with a brilliant idea that NF likes and wants to take forward. However if NF don’t want it, you can be sure no-one else will.

Producing is difficult and requires many skills and a lot of experience. H+M don’t seem to have much of either.

I’d say it’ll be enjoyable- will definitely try it!!

Totally!

So glad to see a few supportive comments on here. Hopefully the adaptation will find an audience.

It needs to be made before it does or doesn't get an audience. Based on the Meet Me at the Lake situation that might not be for a few years (if ever, the cynic in me says... but you seem to be an optimistic and would probably disagree. But there doesn't seem to be much momentum).
