Meghan Markle, Prince Harry actors seen in dramatic teaser for Lifetime's 'Escaping the Palace'
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex's story will play out in the third movie from Lifetime
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Lifetime released its first teaser trailer for its dramatization of Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s exit from royal life titled "Harry & Meghan: Escaping the Palace."
The film marks the third movie produced by the network focusing on the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. The first, "Harry & Meghan: A Royal Romance" debuted in 2018 followed quickly by "Harry & Meghan: Becoming Royal," which came out the following year.
"Escaping the Palace," however, depicts the high-stakes of their relationship more than the other two films as it chronicles their decision to step back from their duties as senior royals and begin the transition to life in California in 2019. The trailer even teases a re-creation of the couple’s explosive, tell-all interview with Oprah Winfrey in which they laid out their reasons for leaving.

"I see you literally being hounded to death and I’m helpless to stop it," he says in the teaser, which was released on social media.

"I am the person who is strong and gets things right," the fictional Markle responds while staring at her son, Archie.
The teaser then dramatically shows the duo in various moments during their "escape" from royal life, establishing the high-stakes by both assuring the other that they can’t lose one another.

Markle, 39, admitted that she was having suicidal thoughts while in the U.K., which prompted Harry, 36, to get serious about a major change.
