A new film dissecting the Duke and Duchess of Sussex has been given the go-ahead to air on December 3 and promises exclusive revelations about Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.

A controversial new documentary film about Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, titled ‘Harry – The Lost Prince’, is set to air on Germany’s ZDF network next month, sparking fresh debates about the couple’s role in the British monarchy.

Express.co.uk can reveal that the film, led by award-winning filmmaker Ulrike Grunewald, will premiere on December 3 at 8:15 pm, promising exclusive revelations about the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.

The documentary delves into Prince Harry’s struggles within the Royal Family following his decision to step back from royal duties.

It also explores his ongoing search for a meaningful role and the broader impact of this on the British monarchy.

According to ZDF, the show examines how the Royal Family is grappling with significant changes post-Megxit, including the death of the late Queen and challenges such as King Charles and Princess Kate’s cancer diagnoses.

In promoting the prime-time special, ZDF states: “The Royal Family has to deal with difficult developments and regroup after ‘Megxit,’ the death of the Queen and Charles and Kate’s cancer. What role will Harry play in the future?”

“Even in his self-imposed exile in Montecito, California, he remains a figure of public interest. His commitment to charitable organisations – such as the Invictus Games he founded for wounded servicemen and women – always puts him in the spotlight,” the description continues.

It also touches on Harry’s shift from being a beloved royal to a polarising figure: “King Charles’s second-born, once the Windsors’ most popular royal for a time, is now a controversial figure. He has always struggled with his role as a ‘reserve.’

“Paparazzi and the tabloids are a thorn in his side. In addition, his disclosures in recent years have caused a lot of trouble within the family.”

The film explores the divide in public opinion about Harry, 40, and Meghan, 43, with younger audiences viewing Harry as a modernising force while more traditional or conservative circles see him as a threat to the monarchy.

“Old versus young, traditional versus modern – the family conflict in the House of Windsor reflects the debate about the future of the British monarchy and its value for society,” the network adds.
