Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have reportedly teamed up with The Handmaid’s Tale director Liz Garbus to make a new docu-series.
The royals announced in 2020 that they had reached a deal with Netflix to make some programmes, saying their focus would “be on creating content that informs but also gives hope”.
According to Page Six, they are making a docu-series that the publication suggested would be “at-home with the Duke and Duchess of Sussex-style”.

And it seems they have now hired Liz, who was nominated for an Oscar for her 1998 documentary The Farm: Angola, USA.
The report says that the programme-maker was seen with the couple, along with a small camera crew, when they visited New York last year.

Liz – who worked on the fourth season of The Handmaid’s Tale – had been due to work on Meghan’s planned animated series, Pearl.
The show was set to follow a little girl who drew inspiration from various women in history.
Meghan, who is mum to Archie, three, and Lilibet, one, with Harry, was going to be an executive producer.

But last month it was announced that the streaming service had cancelled development of the show, amid a move to cut costs.
The royal couple’s Archewell Productions will be working on other programmes with Netflix though.
One is entitled Heart Of Invictus, and according to the Archewell site it is a “multi-episode production that will spotlight a group of extraordinary Invictus Games competitors from around the globe – members of the military community who have experienced life-changing injuries or illnesses – on their road to Invictus Games The Hague 2020.
