The Duke and Duchess of Sussex's self-titled docu-series Harry & Meghan broke streaming records as it became the biggest Netflix documentary debut, with a total 81.6 million hours watched on its first four days of release in December 2022.
However, Prince Harry's Heart of Invictus, which was released in August 2023, has not seen the same success and Meghan's animated series Pearl was shelved by the streamer due to cutbacks.
Netflix, Meghan and Harry will all be keen for the next wave of projects to produce numbers similar to the royal's debut series on the platform.
