The Duke and Duchess of Sussex find themselves amidst more chatter, especially since they stepped back from their royal roles.
Now, they’re keeping an eye on a new documentary about the royal family, wondering what it might uncover about their earlier lives.
Meghan Markle’s Past Under Scrutiny
The documentary, created by German TV producer Ulrike Grunewald, has piqued interest as she delves into the lives of Harry and Meghan in California.
Among those interviewed is Richard Mineards, who previously covered the Royal Family in the UK.
Mineards mentioned being questioned for hours about Harry and Meghan by Los Angeles-based producer Melanie Hillmann under Grunewald’s direction.
Despite their desire for privacy, especially Meghan’s, there’s concern in their camp about what this documentary might reveal.
A source hinted at “worry” and “panic,” typical reactions when such documentaries loom.
The source suggested that Meghan might have aspects of her past that she prefers to keep private, especially regarding her life before meeting Prince Harry.
The breakdown of her first marriage is one such aspect that could be explored, potentially causing controversy.
Before marrying Harry, Meghan was married to talent manager Trevor Engelson, with the marriage ending in divorce due to irreconcilable differences.
The source hinted that Engelson might speak out for the right price.
The source also speculated on other chapters from Meghan’s past that might surface, including her relationship with Kate Middleton.
However, Harry and Meghan are eager to move forward and fear their newfound happiness could be affected by dredging up the past.
The timing of this documentary adds pressure, especially for Harry, who may feel humiliated by his father’s lack of time during his recent visit to Britain for the Invictus Games event.
Meghan didn’t accompany Harry, citing security concerns, but they later visited Nigeria to promote the Invictus Games, showcasing their commitment to humanitarian work.
Despite potential challenges, the source believes the couple’s bond will only grow stronger, as they believe they can overcome anything together.
