Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's 'tasteful' reality show revealed

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have reportedly signed on to star in once off reality series for Netflix.

When their $130 million deal with the streaming giant was revealed last month, it was reported that the couple may appear on-screen themselves, however Meghan would not be returning to acting.

According to The Sun, cameras will follow the Sussexes around for three months, in an effort to show fans ‘the real them’.

“It will all be very tasteful, and not Katie Price and Peter Andre-style reality TV, but they want to give people a glimpse into their lives and see all the charity work they do,” a source told the publication.

However if fans are hoping to get a glimpse inside their home life, they might be left disappointed, as it’s believed the series will focus on the couple’s work as opposed to their personal lives. It’s also unclear if their son, Archie, will be included in the series.

It’s believed the Netflix shows will be based on issues that resonate with the couple personally and some of the projects are already in development, including a nature docu-series and an animated series celebrating inspiring women.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex said in a statement: “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.

“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.

“As new parents, making inspirational family programming is also important to us, as is powerful storytelling through a truthful and relatable lens.”

Some sources believe Meghan and Harry will use the name “Achewell” for the production company, however that hasn’t been confirmed.

As well as documentaries, the couple will produce scripted series, docu-series and features, and are understood to be keen to diversity of voices both in front of and behind the camera.
