Meghan Markle 'runs the household' and makes the decisions while at home with Prince Harry, an insider has claimed.
The Sussexes broke away from the Royal Family more than three years ago and the couple, along with Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, have set up home in California. It's a far cry from the lives they had as working royals living at Kensington Palace and then Frogmore Cottage.
But despite several setbacks in their professional lives, including being dropped from their huge deal for podcasts with Spotify, an insider has claimed the couple are 'really happy' with Harry embracing his much different life.
They told PEOPLE magazine: "Meghan does seem to run the household and make the decisions, but it’s not that he bends for her. It’s just a dynamic that works for them, and maybe one that he needs after everything he’s been through."
The comments come amid reports Harry and Meghan are producing their first movie. The couple are said to have purchased the rights to best-selling novel Meet Me At The Lake, with plans to adapt it for Netflix. PR expert Mark Borkowski estimates it would have cost the couple around $3.8million (£3million) 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."
A rights deal for Meet Me By The Lake would mark the first time their company Archewell Productions has paid to turn a novel into a fictional drama as part of their $112million (£88,000) Netflix deal. The novel was published by Penguin Random House, which also published Prince Harry's bombshell memoir, Spare.
The novel tells the story of Fern Brookbanks and Will Baxter who 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, and steamy sex scenes, and is set near Toronto - where Meghan lived when she starred in Suits and first started dating Harry.
