In November 2016 Harry confirmed their romance after he released a statement asking for his girlfriend’s privacy to be respected, revealing she had been subject to a torrent of abuse amid rumours of their romance.
Just weeks later the Prince visited the American actress on set of Toronto-based legal drama Suits, before the couple were first sighted together in London during December 2016.
The duo then made a number of low key appearances together in 2017, and announced their engagement in November 2017, spending Christmas together with the Queen at Sandringham.
The couple will marry on 19th May 2018 at St George’s Chapel at Windsor Castle in England.
The news of Lifetime TV’s new film comes after it was reported that Meghan’s ex-husband and film producer Trevor Engelson is making a show about a divorced American mother who moves to London to marry a British royal.
The show, which is currently untitled, is believed to have been inspired by a conversation he had with producer Dan Farrah, musing on what would have happened if he and Meghan had had children together.
