The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have reached a deal with the streaming platform Netflix to make a range of programmes, some of which they may appear in.
According to Meghan, the shows will be to educate but also inspire hope, she said: “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,” She added.
Netflix chief Ted Sarandos said he was “incredibly proud” the royal couple had made the company “their creative home”.
The multi-year deal will encompass documentaries, docu-series, feature films, scripted shows and children’s programming.
The moves six months after the couple stepped down from royal life and moved to California to live away from the media spotlight.
“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.” Said the couple in a statement.
The Duke of Sussex can currently be seen on the streaming service in Rising Phoenix, a documentary about the Paralympic Games.
Meghan previously partnered with Disney to narrate Elephant, a documentary about the species for its Disneynature outlet.
The couple will make their shows for Netflix under the banner of a currently unnamed production company.
