Did They Nail It? Lifetime Drops New Harry & Meghan Movie Trailer
Now socialites… the teaser trailer for Lifetime’s upcoming “Harry & Meghan: Escaping the Palace” was released this Tuesday, and let’s just say social media is having a field day with this.
While the film is meant to be a follow-up to the network’s “Harry & Meghan: A Royal Romance” and “Harry & Meghan: Becoming Royal”, some are mistaken the film for a comedy despite the new film covering the Sussex’s fallout with The Firm.
In the 20-second clip, the movie even teases the couple’s infamous Oprah Winfrey interview, recreated in detail. Those who caught wind of the new trailer quickly took social media to share their early reviews:

Escaping the Palace will portray both Harry and Meghan’s struggles and strain under the pressure of media scrutiny, including Harry’s trauma over how the major media attention led to the death of his mother, Princess Diana. No official date has been announced just yet. Lifetime previously set Harry & Meghan: Escaping the Palace for the fall.
