Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have set their sights on the silver screen.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex purchased the rights to Carley Fortune’s best-selling romance novel, “Meet Me at the Lake,” and have plans to make the page-turner into a feature film.
Fortune confirmed to Fox News Digital that Harry and Markle are creating the movie with Netflix, and under their Archewell banner.
“I’m so thrilled about working with Netflix and Archewell to bring ‘Meet Me at the Lake’ to the screen,” Fortune said.

“Will and Fern’s love story is dear to my heart, and I can’t imagine a more perfect partnership.”
Fortune’s second novel was published in May and has since topped bestseller lists.
The story follows a 30-something woman who finds love in a hopeless place following the tragic loss of her mother who died in a car crash.

“Meet Me at the Lake” has a storyline that resembles Prince Harry’s life.
Princess Diana died in a car collision in 1997. Harry and Markle met in their 30s while Markle was filming “Suits” in Canada.

Their latest Netflix venture follows the 2022 documentary, “Harry & Meghan,” which detailed the couple’s fallout from the royal family.
The couple signed a multiyear production deal with the streaming giant in 2020, with exclusive content focused on documentaries, feature films, scripted shows and children’s programming.
“Our focus will be on creating content that informs but also gives hope,” the couple told the New York Times.
