Meghan Markle 'in a panic' over new documentary that could expose 'many things'

Meghan Markle is reportedly fretting over a new documentary that could spill secrets about her earlier life.

The Duchess of Sussex has not contributed to the German-made film, which aims to delve into her and Prince Harry's existence in Montecito, California. The couple moved to the US in 2020 when they stepped down as working Royals.

Sources suggest Meghan is concerned the documentary might air aspects of her history she prefers to remain under wraps. Insiders claim both Meghan and Harry are in a "panic" over potential revelations reports the Mirror.

An informant confided to OK! Magazine: "There are many things that both of them, especially Meghan, don't necessarily want in the public domain. It's no secret that they both led colourful lives before they met each other, and while Harry has spoken about a lot of mistakes in his book, there are still things about Meghan we don't know."

The source also mentioned Meghan's previous high-profile presence on the Hollywood social circuit and her first marriage to Trevor Engelson, suggesting there are individuals ready to talk about her former lifestyle.

Journalist and Royal commentator Ulrike Grunewald is said to be leading the charge on a new documentary for Germany's ZDF network.

It's understood that Ulrike made her way to California with a five-person team, delving into Montecito to uncover stories from the neighbourhood where Prince Harry and Meghan Markle reside with their two children.
