In July, the anticipation surrounding a new German documentary produced by ZDF, under the direction of seasoned journalist Or Grunwald, experienced a brief pause.
This investigative piece, set to explore the complex history of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex and what Grunwald refers to as the "Sussex system," had already generated significant buzz. However, despite the heightened interest, the project has only deepened speculation and intrigue. Grunwald, renowned for his incisive and often controversial documentaries on royal affairs, promises a comprehensive examination of Meghan Markle's past.
Originally slated for release this year, the documentary has been postponed, with new reports indicating a revised air date in December on ZDF, Germany's prominent television network. Despite this delay, Grunwald remains optimistic about the release. In response to inquiries on her Instagram, she reassured viewers that the documentary will indeed be broadcast as planned. One of the most tantalizing rumors associated with this documentary is the possibility that it might unveil Meghan Markle's alleged secret daughter.
This sensational claim, which has circulated for years, suggests that Meghan may have had a child before her relationship with Prince Harry—a detail she purportedly kept hidden. Recent whispers indicate that this supposed daughter is being raised by Jessica, Meghan's former close friend in Canada, and that Meghan has been in regular contact with the child, sending gifts and letters. However, this story remains speculative and unverified.
The documentary's delay has stirred concern within the Sussex camp. Sources reveal that the project's focus on Meghan's past, including these explosive rumors, has caused considerable anxiety. The production team, known for their meticulous research and ability to unearth royal secrets, has been filming in California, where the Sussexes currently reside with their children, Prince Archie, 5, and Princess Lilibet, 3.
The potential revelations of the documentary have left Harry and Meghan anxious about what might be exposed. Grunwald's team has a history of revealing hidden facets of the British royal family, and this documentary is expected to be no exception. The detailed investigation into Meghan's background, combined with the documentary's focus on the Sussexes, has heightened concerns about the accuracy and potential impact of the revelations. According to a source close to the production, there are evident concerns about the content of the documentary, and the situation is being closely monitored.
This delay follows ZDF's recent airing of "The Windsor," which examined Princess Kate's battle with cancer and the Royal Family's response. ZDF's commitment to exploring sensitive and high-profile topics suggests that their documentary on Meghan Markle will be equally thorough and revealing. As the documentary's December release approaches, speculation surrounding Meghan Markle's alleged secret daughter continues to captivate the public's imagination. Whether these claims will be substantiated remains to be seen, but the anticipation surrounding Grunwald's investigation promises to keep viewers on edge in the coming months. As we await the documentary's debut, the intrigue surrounding Meghan Markle's past is likely to intensify.
Once aired, the ZDF documentary will be accessible to non-German-speaking audiences with subtitles, particularly in the UK and USA, where viewership is expected to be substantial. ZDF is poised to maximize its financial gains from this documentary, and English-language networks are also set to benefit significantly. So, let us extend our early Christmas wishes to the Sussexes as they brace for what promises to be a revealing and highly anticipated release.
