Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are the focus of a new documentary, titled Harry – The Lost Prince, which is set to air in Germany – and a royal expert has warned it could be a “major blow” to the couple.

A new documentary about Meghan Markle and Prince Harry could tarnish their image, a royal expert warns. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are the subjects of a new film, Harry – The Lost Prince.

The documentary, crafted by acclaimed filmmaker Ulrike Grunewald, pledges to unveil new insights about the couple’s American life post their Royal Family exit in 2020. It features a veteran soldier, once acquainted with Harry, criticizing the Duke for complaining about his family disputes and publicizing minor squabbles with his brother, Prince William.

A Montecito neighbor also appears, discussing Meghan’s lack of contribution to the local community. Speaking exclusively to The Mirror about the documentary’s potential impact on the Sussexes, royal commentator Duncan Larcombe said it will be a “major blow” to the couple, even if it doesn’t air in the States.

Mr. Larcombe stated: “I think any documentary that continues the criticism of Harry and Meghan’s modus operandi is going to be damaging.”

He added: “It’s in Germany so it’s probably not going to make a big storm over in the US. But it’s still a major blow for a couple who have seen their popularity plummet like a stone falling in a well since they left the UK,” reports the Mirror.

Research conducted by Statista has revealed that Prince Harry’s popularity among the British public has been on a steady decline since he stepped back from his royal duties in early 2020. In 2019, the Duke was liked by 71 percent of people, but recent data from August shows that only 30 percent now hold a favorable opinion of him.

Meanwhile, Meghan Markle’s popularity has also taken a hit, according to a recent YouGov poll. The Duchess is now ranked 17th in the list of most popular Royal Family members, with a mere 23 percent of Brits liking her – even trailing behind lesser-known royal, Princess Alexandra, The Honourable Lady Ogilvy, who is liked by 25 percent of Brits.

This comes as Meghan and Harry have been maintaining more professional distance since their joint tour of Colombia in the summer. Insiders say this reflects their new “twin-track approach,” with Harry focusing on his charity work and Meghan on her entrepreneurial projects.

This is a stark contrast to just two years ago when Meghan likened herself and Harry to salt and pepper, always moving together. Now, Meghan is preparing to launch her brand American Rivieria Orchard next year, while Harry’s Invictus Games are set to take place in February in Vancouver and Whistler, Canada.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are set to continue their solo public appearances this week. Meghan is expected to grace a glamorous Hollywood party in honor of her celebrity friend Tyler Perry on December 4.

Meanwhile, Harry will be thousands of miles away in New York, attending The New York Times DealBook Conference.
