Meghan Markle, Prince Harry Allegedly 'Praying' That Hidden Incident Never Surfaces in Angela Kelly's Film

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry could face renewed scrutiny over so-called 'Tiaragate' if a rumoured film about Angela Kelly revisits the dispute surrounding the couple's 2018 wedding, according to a report cited by the Daily Mail. The film, tentatively titled Trouble, is reportedly being developed by Searchlight Pictures, with writer Jeremy Brock said to be working on the script.

The report has raised questions about what the project could cover, particularly because Kelly was closely involved in the royal household during the period in question. However, there is no confirmation that the film will include Tiaragate or the additional, unspecified incident mentioned by commentators.

Meghan Markle, Prince Harry and the Tiaragate Dispute

For context, 'Tiaragate' centred on Meghan's access to a wedding tiara ahead of her May 2018 marriage to Harry. In Spare, Harry described tensions during preparations for Meghan's hair trial and blamed Kelly for delaying Meghan's access to the tiara.

Meghan ultimately wore Queen Mary's Diamond Bandeau for the wedding. Harry's account placed Kelly at the centre of a disagreement that became one of several contested episodes from the couple's time within the royal household.

The latest claims have revived that episode because of Kelly's reported involvement in the proposed film. Royal commentator Richard Eden described Kelly as 'a fascinating figure' and referred to her reported nickname, 'AK-47'.

Eden also said there were whispers that the project could provide 'a very accurate portrayal'. The precise basis for that assessment was not established in the material cited, and the film's final storyline remains unknown.

More significantly, Mail on Sunday editor at large Charlotte Griffiths speculated that there was another, as yet undisclosed, incident from around the same period. She said Harry should be nervous about the project and alleged that, in her view, the Sussexes were 'praying' the incident 'does not come out in this drama'.

That is the detail likely to draw the most attention, but there is a sizeable caveat: the report did not identify the alleged incident, and there is no confirmation that it will feature in the film.

Angela Kelly Film Leaves Key Questions Unanswered

The reported project is said to involve Brock, who previously co-created Casualty. Searchlight Pictures is reportedly developing the film, although the information cited does not establish whether Kelly herself is formally collaborating on it.

That distinction matters. A film about a figure from the royal household can draw heavily on public accounts without necessarily reproducing every disputed version of events. Until the project's storyline, production status and sources are confirmed, claims about what it will reveal remain speculative.

Eden also recalled that Kelly had 'some really lively rows with Harry and Meghan'. He said Harry was 'particularly unpleasant about her' in Spare. Those remarks add context to why Kelly's perspective could be portrayed as significant, but they do not establish what she may have witnessed beyond the events already described publicly.

For Meghan and Harry, the issue is therefore less about a confirmed revelation than about the possibility that an old dispute could be examined again through a different lens. Tiaragate has already been discussed through Harry's memoir, while the reported film could present Kelly's side of the story if its creators choose to address the episode.

There is still plenty that is not known. The project's exact storyline has not been confirmed, the alleged additional incident has not been described, and the report cited does not establish whether Kelly has formally participated.

For now, the reported Angela Kelly film leaves the central question hanging. What, exactly, would make that period of the Sussexes' royal life worth putting back on screen?
