TRAILER: Harry & Meghan Escaping The Palace Movie - WATCH

Social media users have slammed the 'ridiculous script' and 'overdramatic acting' in the first-look trailer for Lifetime's upcoming movie about Megxit that imagines the lead-up to the Sussexes' controversial move to the US at the start of 2020.

In the short clip, actors Jordan Dean and Sydney Morton can be seen acting out several heated discussions between Harry, 36, and Meghan, 39, in which the former is seen expressing his fears that his wife is being 'hounded to death'.   

'I see you literally being hounded to death and I'm helpless to stop it,' the actor tells his on-screen partner, echoing comments made by Prince Harry during his Apple TV+ series, in which he said that his late mother, Princess Diana, was 'chased to death' and admitted that he was afraid of 'history repeating itself' with Meghan.
