Is anyone else surprised by this film?
From the controversial nature of the content and the royal couple to the highly-dramatized promotion of Harry & Meghan: Escaping the Palace -- the third film in Lifetime's royal Harry & Meghan saga -- the expected salacious, soapy sh*tshow barely existed.

The third film in this trilogy focused on the crucial events that prompted Harry and Meghan to flee the monarchy in a sea of controversy that they've yet overcome.
For better and worse, these films, much like the couple in question, are polarizing and often elicit discussion and criticism.
And this time around, it seemed as if they were cognizant of that, delivering a more subdued flick that...

About a week later, I heard that I was their guy, and about five days after that I was flying to Vancouver,...
