What is Harry and Meghan's Netflix documentary about?

Harry and Meghan have remained tight-lipped about their series with Netflix, however, have revealed in recent months that the narrative will focus around their love story.

Meghan said on the series: "The piece of my life I haven't been able to share, that people haven't been able to see – our love story".

Speaking with Variety magazine earlier this year, the Duchess of Sussex spoke about the series in more detail.

"It's nice to be able to trust someone with our story - a seasoned director whose work I've long admired - even if it means it may not be the way we would have told it," Meghan said.

She added: "But that's not why we're telling it. We're trusting our story to someone else, and that means it will go through their lens."

Meghan also told The Cut: "So much of how my husband and I see things is through our love story. I think that’s what people around the world connected to, especially with our wedding.

"People love love. I’m not excluded in that sentiment. And our definition of love is really expansive: Partner love, self-love, the love of community and family. We use that as the baseline of the kind of shows and documentaries we want out there."

Will any of the Royal Family be in Harry and Meghan's Netflix documentary?

As far as we know, no members of the Royal Family will appear in the documentary.

Earlier in the year, when Meghan and Harry travelled to the UK with their children for the Queen's Platinum Jubilee celebrations, a source denied that the couple were bringing cameras with them.

A source said at the time that it would be "ludicrous" to suggest that the Netflix cameras would be going with them, adding: "They aren’t even bringing a press team. It’s all very low key."
