Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s already strained relationship with the Royal Family may face further complications with the upcoming release of a documentary titled Harry – The Lost Prince. The film, set to air on Germany’s ZDF, will focus on the lives of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, providing a deeper look into their journey and challenges.
Public relations expert Ryan Cormick discussed the potential repercussions of the documentary in an interview with The Mirror US. While acknowledging that much of the public reaction is speculative until the film’s release, Cormick suggested that a low viewership would signal a decline in the couple’s popularity. “If the special doesn’t attract a healthy number of viewers, it could indicate that Harry and Meghan’s popularity has truly waned,” he explained.
The PR expert further warned that if the documentary uncovers new scandals or portrays Harry and Meghan as opportunists attempting to capitalize on royal family secrets—similar to the narrative that initially brought them widespread attention—it could harm any prospects of reconciliation with Buckingham Palace. “Such a portrayal would also have a negative impact on their reputation and likability,” Cormick added.
On the other hand, Cormick noted that if the documentary presents the couple as down-to-earth, relatable, and humorous, it could potentially enhance their public perception. “If the film shows Harry and Meghan in a more relatable light, it could be a tremendous boost to how they are seen by the public.”
With tensions between the Sussexes and the Royal Family still high, Harry – The Lost Prince promises to be a significant moment in the ongoing saga of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s journey outside the royal fold. The film’s release will likely spark further discussion on their strained relationship with the monarchy and their evolving public image.
