Prince Harry and Meghan Markle Secure Rights for Netflix Movie Adaptation, Facing Criticism Over Familiar Themes

Kelly Tyler Published August 9, 2023

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, the Duke, and Duchess of Sussex, are poised to make their mark in Hollywood as they secure the rights to adapt a beloved best-selling book into a Netflix movie. The power couple has chosen “Meet Me At The Lake,” a popular romantic novel penned by Carley Fortune, as their next creative endeavor.

The novel delves into poignant themes, including the lasting impact of childhood trauma following the loss of a parent in a car crash, struggles with mental health, and the challenges of postnatal depression. Set against the backdrop of Toronto, Canada, the location choice resonates with those familiar with Markle’s history, adding an intriguing layer to the project.

However, as the spotlight turns toward this new venture, not everyone is applauding the couple’s creative choices. Journalist Kirsten Fleming voiced her reservations in a recent commentary for the New York Post. In her critique, she described the content of the upcoming film as “gag-inducing” and raised concerns about the range of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s creative vision.

Fleming pointed out a striking similarity between the themes of “Meet Me At The Lake” and the couple’s personal experiences, suggesting that their perspective might be somewhat limited. She even hinted that the Sussexes may be venturing into borrowed territory after their own concepts have been exhausted.

Characterizing the couple as “boring but handsomely paid,” Fleming suggested that they might be using their carefully crafted narratives as a foundation to reinterpret someone else’s fictional work. While skilled storytellers can deftly portray diverse viewpoints and conjure imaginative worlds, Fleming implied that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle might be falling into a pattern of recycling familiar themes within their own sphere.

Moreover, the journalist opined that their recent endeavors could be interpreted as an inclination towards aspiring reality stars. This shift, she noted, might be a response to business challenges the couple has faced in recent months.

As the Netflix project unfolds, critics and supporters alike are eagerly awaiting the outcome. Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s venture into adapting “Meet Me At The Lake” marks a significant chapter in their journey to carve out a space in Hollywood, with the creative direction and reception shaping their narrative in the entertainment industry.
