The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are once again the focus of attention with the upcoming release of a German documentary that promises to spark significant interest.
Set to premiere on December 3, the documentary Prince Harry – The Lost Prince, produced by Germany’s ZDF, delves into Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s lives in Montecito, California, and their ongoing quest for purpose following their decision to step back from royal duties in January 2020.

Directed by the award-winning Ulrike Grunewald, the film features insights gathered from the couple’s California neighborhood, where they reside with their two children. It explores the mixed public opinions surrounding Harry and Meghan and examines the fallout from their abrupt departure from royal life.
ZDF teases that the documentary will touch on pressing questions, stating, “The Royal Family has to contend with significant changes and adjust following ‘Megxit,’ the death of the Queen, and Charles and Kate’s cancer. What role will Harry take on in the future?”
At the time of their departure, Harry and Meghan faced harsh criticism in German media. Publications like the Süddeutsche Zeitung labeled their decision “an affront to tradition and the expectations of the British public,” while Die Welt described their move as “a slap in the face of the monarchy and its supporters.”
