 to buy the adaption rights for the romantic story, which was written by former journalist turned author Carley Fortune. The book was released in May this year, selling 37,000 copies in its first week of sale. It is described as a "breathtaking love story about two strangers who come together when they need each other." A source has claimed Meghan and Harry's new project could be their "most significant" yet. The couple previously worked with Netflix to release their dramatic docuseries, Harry & Meghan. Speaking to The Sun about Meet Me at the Lake, the source said: "This is their biggest and most significant as producers." At first glance, the main characters seem to have some parallels with Meghan, 42, and 38-year-old Harry. Protagonists Fern Brookbanks and Will Baxter are both in their mid-thirties when they meet, and their love story includes themes of losing a parent in a car crash, mental health and post-natal depression. The novel also contains drug use, steamy sex scenes, and is set near Toronto - where Meghan lived when she starred in Suits and first started dating Harry. Buying the rights is the first major deal for the Sussexes since they parted ways with Spotify in June. Their firm Archewell Audio signed an exclusive $25million (£19million) deal with the company as the couple attempted to be financially independent after stepping back from the Royal Family in 2020. Meghan and Harry were criticised by one of Spotify's top executives after stepping away from the platform. Bill S){kind=link}
