After years in the making and rumours of possible shelving of the project, the Harry & Meghan docu-series, exclusive to Netflix, is finally set to debut to audiences around the world.
“In an unprecedented and in-depth documentary series, The Duke and Duchess of Sussex share the other side of their high-profile love story,” said Netflix in a statement.
The docu-series will consist of six episodes and will explore the clandestine days of their early courtship and the challenges that led to them feeling forced to step back from their full-time roles in the institution.
The Harry & Meghan docu-series will also feature commentary from friends and family, most of whom have never spoken publicly before about what they witnessed.
In addition, historians who discuss the state of the British Commonwealth today and the royal family’s relationship with the press will feature in the series that according to Netflix, sets out to do more than illuminate one couple’s love story, it aims to paint a picture of our world and how we treat each other.
From the critically-acclaimed, two-time Academy Award-nominated and Emmy-winning director Liz Garbus, Harry & Meghan is a never-before-seen look at one of the most-discussed couples in history.
