Dean and Morton will be taking over the franchise from previous duos: Parisa Fitz-Henry and Murray Fraser in 2018’s “Harry & Meghan: A Royal Romance”, and Tiffany Smith and Charlie Field in 2019’s “Harry & Meghan: Becoming Royal.”
“Harry & Meghan: Escaping the Palace” will explore “what really happened inside the palace that drove Harry and Meghan to leave everything behind in order to make a future for themselves and their son Archie.”
The movie is also set to address Markle’s “growing isolation and sadness” along with the Duke’s fear that “history would repeat itself.”
