What Former Royalty Prince Harry And Meghan Markle Are Upto During Quarantine

There’s a new romantic tentpole franchise in town and it belongs to Harry and Meghan. Lifetime has announced that it is currently developing a third film about the quasi-royal couple to air on the network. The film, whose working title is Harry & Meghan: Escape The Palace, is about their drama with the royal family, of course. 

Currently being written by Scarlett Lacey and executive produced by Meredith Finn and Michelle Weiss, the film follows new parents Harry and Meghan as they navigate their role in and eventual departure from the royal family. More specifically, Harry & Meghan: Escape The Palace follows “the couple’s conscious uncoupling from the crown, after the birth of their son Archie,” said Lifetime in a statement. 

Conscious uncoupling, you say? Maybe Gwyneth will make a cameo appearance that she won’t remember? No word on how the couple, who recently signed off on a juicy tell-all biography, feel about the franchise, but perhaps they’re saving their thoughts for the book.

It has also been reported that they are residing in Tyler Perry's $18 million Beverly Hills mansion during the quarantine. It is unknown if the couple is renting the property, or if they are staying there as guests.

Perry's home is a Tuscan-style villa, with 12 bathrooms and eight bedrooms, located in the exclusive Beverly Ridge Estate.

They also recently released a new video to celebrate the first birthday of their son, Archie. Archie's mother, Meghan, read one of his most beloved stories, "Duck! Rabbit!" while his father, Prince Harry, was behind the camera capturing the scene. Archie, who was thoroughly entertained while sitting on his mother's lap, helped her turn the pages before eagerly reaching for the next storybook.

The couple had also decided to take no visitors during the quarantine period. The couple was supposedly residing in LA until recently and are focusing on spending time together as a family amid the ongoing coronavirus crisis.

Reportedly, the couple leaves their home only when they are volunteering with Project Angel Food, a Los Angeles–based nonprofit that delivers meals to at-risk people with life-threatening illnesses.

Along with delivering food to those in need, both Harry and Meghan have recently participated in Zoom calls, speaking with individuals greatly affected by the pandemic. Harry took the time to speak with caretakers looking after family members with complex medical needs in the midst of the health crisis, while Meghan phoned in with her patronage the Hubb Community Kitchen, which is preparing and delivering meals to those in need in the U.K.

Meghan and Harry are also making no superfluous shopping trips—in fact, they aren't really going out to shop at all. 

"They spend their evenings at home as a family," a source revealed. 

The Sussexes' spokesperson confirmed they video called Queen Elizabeth II to wish her a happy 94th birthday. Archie joined too.

Archie has been loving connecting with people on the platform. Harry and Meghan's son has been "loving doing FaceTime playdates with other small children they have in their lives," the source said.

Though Prince Harry and Meghan are no longer working as official representatives of the royal family, Harry and son Archie do maintain their places in the royal line of succession.
