Prince Harry and Meghan, Duchess of Sussex announce major news: ‘Early stages’

Prince Harry and Meghan, Duchess of Sussex have confirmed two new projects with production company Netflix.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s company, Archewell Productions, has two series in the “early stages” of production.

The first, which is being curated by executive producer Meghan, will “celebrate the joys of cooking and gardening, entertaining and friendship,” Deadline reports.

The second series focuses on one of Harry’s favourite sports, polo.

The show will “provide viewers unprecedented access to the world of professional polo”.

Harry has played polo for decades and is often spotted in charity matches.

Both Harry and Meghan serve as executive producers on this project.

Titles and release dates are yet to be revealed.

These will be the fourth and fifth series to come out of the couple’s five-year deal with Netflix worth a reported $121 million.

It is understood they have currently only been paid half that amount.

This deal was first confirmed in 2020 after they stepped back as senior working members of the British royal family.

The couple said at the time: “Our focus will be on creating content that informs but also gives hope.

“As new parents, making inspirational family programming is also important to us.”

The pair added they were “pleased to work with Netflix, saying its “unprecedented reach” would “help us share impactful content that unlocks action”.

“Our lives, both independent of each other and as a couple, have allowed us to understand the power of the human spirit: of courage, resilience, and the need for connection,” they said.

“Through our work with diverse communities and their environments, to shining a light on people and causes around the world, our focus will be on creating content that informs but also gives hope.”

The update comes as Harry and Meghan reportedly prepare to return to the UK next month with their children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.

The family’s return would coincide with an anniversary service at St Paul’s Cathedral on May 8 to mark the 10th anniversary of Harry’s Invictus Games.

Harry founded the initiative in 2014 to give injured or sick military personnel and veterans the challenge of competing in sporting events similar to the Paralympics.

While in the UK, the Duke of Sussex may also appear at the British Book Awards on May 13, as his memoir Spare has been nominated in two categories.

According to an insider, Harry hopes the trip will allow his four-year-old and two-year-old to connect with their cousins — and to have a chance to meet their grandfather King Charles properly.

Harry’s brother Prince William and his wife Catherine, Princess of Wales have three children, Prince George, 10, Princess Charlotte, 8 and Prince Louis, 5.

The reported May trip comes weeks after both Charles and Kate separately announced they were undergoing treatment for cancer.

“Harry and Meghan are planning a fifth birthday party for Archie at their Montecito home on May 6 and were then going to fly over to the UK on a private jet the following day,” a source told New Magazine.

“They were going to attend the Anniversary Service, followed by a few more days in the UK so the children could meet with members of Harry’s family.

“Harry would love for Archie and Lilibet to have a better relationship with their cousins or even the children of some of his friends.

“He feels like they have been away from the UK for far too long and wants to start building a life here. Not full-time, but a second home they can visit regularly.”
