"Will and Fern's love story is dear to my heart, and I can't imagine a more perfect partnership. Writing this book was a tremendous personal challenge, and to see it recognized in this way is truly incredible." The book focuses on the relationship between central characters Will and Fern who meet in their 30s and features similar instances to what have befell Harry and Meghan in their lives childhoods, including the death of a parent in a car crash and postpartum struggles. Once the film arrives on the platform it could set another Netflix record for the Royal couple. The story is set in Toronto which is where Meghan was filming the drama Suits when she first met Harry in 2016. Suits also ties into Meghan's relationship with Netflix as the legal show recently set an unprecedented record on the platform after it was made available in the United States. Even though the show ended four years ago it is now the most streamed acquired show in Netflix history having racked up 3.1 billion minutes in just a week. Meghan played the paralegal Rachel Zane in the show but left in 2017 following her engagement to Harry. In addition, the couple's Harry and Meghan documentary which was released in December 2022 is the most streamed documentary in Netflix history which was watched for 81.55 million hours within its first week.
