Five locals from Montecito have teamed up for a new German documentary aiming to shed light on the elusive existence of Megan and Harry's children, who have never been publicly seen.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, who relocated to Montecito, California in the summer of 2020 following their decision to step down as senior working Royals, are set to be the central focus of this documentary. The program, which promises to reveal fresh insights into the couple, has been commissioned by a German TV production company.
Renowned journalist and Royal expert, Or Grunwald, will spearhead the documentary, which is slated to air on Germany's ZDF Network. Grunwald, known for his previous work on Royal shows, has assembled a team of five individuals to delve into Montecito and gather firsthand accounts from the couple's neighborhood.
Reports suggest that the documentary will feature interviews with a range of experts and journalists, including former Fleet Street Royal reporter, Richard Minards. Minards, in his recent column, disclosed being extensively questioned by Los Angeles-based producer Melanie Hillman about his observations of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. The documentary, under the direction of Grunwald, will include insights from such interviews and is scheduled for primetime viewing on ZDF Royal.
Among the locals participating in the documentary is Mary Sheldon, owner of a local bookstore, who expressed sentiments of indifference towards the royal couple's presence in the community. Sheldon remarked that while the town boasts many notable residents like Ellen DeGeneres and Oprah Winfrey, she has observed minimal impact from Harry and Meghan. Speculation persists regarding the couple's activities, with Sheldon noting the absence of sightings of them or their children engaging in typical neighborhood activities like shopping or browsing local bookstores.
Concerns about the authenticity of Harry and Meghan's residency in Montecito have circulated, prompting speculation about the revelations Grunwald's documentary may bring. Some, like Lady C, have hinted at undisclosed truths regarding the couple's circumstances, raising anticipation for potential revelations. However, the Sussexes, known for their staunch protection of privacy, are unlikely to welcome the scrutiny brought about by the documentary, particularly as it is helmed by Grunwald, known for his knack for uncovering hidden truths.
Richard Fitz Williams, a commentator for The Mirror, suggested that the Sussexes would not welcome the documentary, given their aversion to media scrutiny. Having previously controlled the narrative in projects like their interview with Oprah Winfrey and Harry's memoir, they are unlikely to appreciate a documentary where they have no control over the content. Grunwald's reputation for exposing concealed facts further adds to their apprehension. Yet, despite their reservations, the documentary is expected to draw significant attention upon its release, reflecting the enduring fascination with the Sussexes.
Amidst ongoing negative media coverage, including controversies over their residence expenses and efforts to shield their children from the press, Harry and Meghan have found themselves increasingly scrutinized. Despite their complaints about media intrusion and unfair portrayal, their actions continue to draw public interest and debate.
