From the British monarchy to Hollywood, Prince Harry and
Meghan Markle have consistently been under a global spotlight. Their journey
from senior working royals to independent media producers has been a source of
endless fascination, with every move they make meticulously chronicled by news
outlets and public conversations. Now, their collaboration with Netflix brings
their narrative directly to audiences, offering a unique glimpse into their
lives and passions through their projects.
Their production journey began with a series of compelling
documentaries, each one offering a unique perspective.

The first and most notable project from Archewell
Productions was the docuseries Harry & Meghan. Released in December
2022, this highly publicized series provided an intimate look into the couple’s
relationship and their reasons for stepping back from the royal family.
Directed by Liz Garbus, the series sparked global headlines and became a massive
success for Netflix, accumulating over 44 million views in its first month and
nearly 17 million views between 2023 and 2025.
In addition to its narrative, Archewell also produced Live
to Lead and Heart of Invictus. Live to Lead is a seven-part
docuseries that showcases extraordinary global leaders like Greta Thunberg and
Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Heart of Invictus, meanwhile, follows athletes
training for the international sporting event Prince Harry founded for wounded
military personnel. Although neither series gained the same viewership as Harry
& Meghan, they highlighted the couple’s commitment to social and
humanitarian causes.
A new chapter of their producing career began with lifestyle
and sports content.

Moving into new genres, Archewell Productions ventured into
lifestyle and sports with two distinct series. With Love, Meghan, a
reality show that debuted in March 2025, celebrates cooking, gardening, and
friendship, with new guests and adventures in each episode. This series has
already garnered 5.3 million views and has been renewed for a second season and
a holiday special.
The docuseries Polo, released in December 2024,
offers an exclusive, behind-the-scenes look at the high-stakes world of polo,
following elite players as they compete in the U.S. Open Polo Championship.
While this five-part series received a more subdued response, it marked another
step in the couple’s expansion into diverse and engaging content.
The future promises an even wider variety of stories from
the couple’s production company.
