A royal expert has claimed that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle will remain unfazed by the release of the upcoming documentary Harry – The Lost Prince. The documentary, scheduled to air on Germany’s ZDF network on December 3, explores the Sussexes’ decision to step down as senior working royals and its broader impact on the British monarchy.
Public relations expert Lynn Carratt told The Mirror that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are accustomed to media scrutiny and are unlikely to be rattled by any criticism the documentary might generate. “The new documentary will be water off of a duck’s back,” Carratt said. “While they value their privacy and won’t enjoy having no control over what is said, they know they will be subject to these documentaries at times, and biographers will always publish books about their lives.”
The documentary reportedly focuses on Harry and Meghan’s transition away from royal duties and their ongoing search for a meaningful role outside the royal institution. However, Carratt noted that the Sussexes themselves are not involved in the project.
“From my understanding of the new TV documentary, Harry and Meghan are not part of it,” she explained. “[Instead], it’s interviews with people who live near them who’ve perhaps worked with them previously—not Harry and Meghan giving their insight into their own lives or own opinions.”
Carratt emphasized that while Harry and Meghan might prefer to have control over how their story is told, they are no strangers to being the subject of public analysis. The documentary is expected to delve into the challenges and controversies surrounding the Sussexes’ decision to leave royal life, as well as their new path in California.
Despite the potential for renewed criticism, the couple appears to remain focused on their personal endeavors, including their Archewell Foundation and ongoing media projects. As public interest in their lives continues, experts like Carratt suggest that Harry and Meghan have grown resilient to the constant attention and will likely take the release of Harry – The Lost Prince in stride.
