A bombshell German documentary is set to expose new secrets about Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.

The high-profile TV production will once again shine a spotlight on the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. The documentary, directed by seasoned Royal Family journalist Ulrike Grunewald, is being produced for Germany’s ZDF network.

It’s expected to look a bit different to the couple’s 2022 Netflix documentary, Harry & Meghan, which shared recent events in their lives through their own eyes.

Grunewald has jetted off to California with a team of five, including respected London producer Mo Davies, to gather insights in Montecito, where the Royal couple rub shoulders with other A-listers just north of Hollywood.

Among those interviewed is Richard Mineards, a former Fleet Street Royal reporter who now writes for The Montecito Journal. In his latest column, he revealed: “Los Angeles-based producer, Melanie Hillmann grilled me for two hours on my Riven Rock neighbours, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, under director Ulrike Grunewald. The interview is airing in due course as part of a prime-time documentary on ZDF Royal.”

Grunewald, a well-known figure in German television and a presenter on the news programme Heute-Journal (Today-Journal), has been covering Royal affairs since 1987. Her first major assignment was reporting on then-Prince Charles and Princess Diana’s visit to Germany for ZDF.
