London: A new German Documentary, 'Prince Harry- The Lost Prince', is slated to air on Dec 3, offering an in-depth exploration of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s lives in Montecito, California, following their exit from royal duties in early 2020.
Produced by German network ZDF, the documentary aims to shed light on the couple’s quest for relevance in the United States, their charitable pursuits, and the ongoing media scrutiny they face, according to Vanity Fair.
Directed by Ulrike Grünewald, the documentary provides a nuanced look at the couple’s transition away from their roles in the British monarchy.
“Even in his self-imposed exile in Montecito, California, he remains a public figure. His commitment to charitable organisations —such as the Invictus Games for war veterans, which he founded —keeps him in the spotlight.
"But the second-born of King Charles, who was at times the most popular royal of the Windsors, is now a controversial figure,” the network said in a press release. “Paparazzi and the tabloid press are a thorn in his side”, according to a ZDF representative.
Grünewald disclosed that working on the project gave her a deeper understanding of the royal family's perspective on the couple’s decision to step back. “The most damaging allegations can only come from within. Revelations that shock the royal family only come out of Prince Harry‘s or Meghan Markle‘s mouths,” she remarked. “I begin to understand the late Queen’s verdict that you can’t be ‘half in and half out".
