Tensions are reportedly rising again between Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, as the Duke of Sussex is said to be unhappy with the idea of appearing in a rom-com movie. Recent reports suggest that Harry and Markle are preparing to develop a film adaptation of “The Wedding Date,” a 2018 romance novel by Jasmine Guillory.
The “Suits” alum has reportedly demanded that her husband be “front and center” in the project. The Duchess of Sussex allegedly believes it could boost their careers and present them as a united team. However, her demand has not sat well with Harry, who is said to feel frustrated by the idea.
Meghan Markle wants Prince Harry to be ‘front and center’ of film project, per source
As reported by Radar Online, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are working on a film project. The film is an adaptation of Jasmine Guillory’s popular novel. Markle reportedly wants Harry to appear in the movie, something he finds frustrating. He believes that a cameo does not align with the principles he upholds and that previously guided his public life. This disagreement has reportedly brewed tensions between the royal couple.
For the former actor, the project is extremely important for their future, as it could help them “stay relevant,” according to a source. This is why she reportedly wants full commitment from everyone involved to make it work.
However, Harry‘s growing disappointment with Hollywood is said to be stopping him from fully immersing himself in the entertainment world.
As per a source at Radar, “Harry has become deeply cynical about Hollywood and views much of it as superficial and overly performative. He is uncomfortable with the idea of chasing validation or packaging himself for public consumption, particularly in a genre he does not take seriously or feel aligned with.”
However, Markle reportedly knows that in Hollywood, success comes when you give it your all. An insider said, “Meghan is acutely aware of how unforgiving the entertainment industry can be and believes that real success only comes when you are fully invested.”
The person continued, “From her perspective, Harry’s reluctance is incredibly frustrating because she feels she is shouldering most of the responsibility for creating long-term, reliable income and keeping their professional future afloat.”
