How did a relatively unknown American Actress sweep the world’s most eligible bachelor off his feet? How did they keep their romance under wraps? Journey back to the exciting moment they met, through their initial courtship, to the intense global media frenzy surrounding their relationship and upcoming wedding.

Harry & Meghan follows on the heels of the successful launch of Cocaine Godmother, starring Academy® Award and Tony winning actress, Catherine Zeta-Jones, at MIPCOM 2017. The new film joins a growing catalog of recently announced quality original movies from A+E Networks that includes: Watcher in the Woods, Story of a Girl, Michael Jackson: Searching for Neverland, and Oscar Pistorius: Blade Runner Killer.
