Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's royal exit is going to be turned into a Lifetime movie.
The Sussexes will be the subjects of the made-for-television movie "Harry & Meghan: Escaping the Palace," which has been greenlit by the network, according to a press release.
The story will follow the network's two previous movies about the couple: 2018's "Harry & Meghan: A Royal Romance" and 2019's "Harry & Meghan: Becoming Royal."
The network said that "Escaping the Palace" would reveal what happened within the royal family that drove Harry, 39, and Markle, 39, to recuse themselves from their royal duties and relocate to America with their son Archie.
