The first Netflix series by Meghan Markle and Prince Harry has been revealed.
On Tuesday, the Duke and Duchess of Archewell Productions of Sussex announced their first series to reach the streaming service. The multi-episode documentary series, entitled “Heart of Invictus”, is in partnership with the Invictus Games Foundation, of which Harry, 36, is a patron.
Directed by director Orlando von Einsiedel and producer Joanna Natasegara, “Heart of Invictus” will follow “a group of extraordinary competitors from all over the world, all of whom have suffered injuries or illnesses that changed their lives on the way to the Invictus Games in The Hague 2020, now scheduled to happen in 2022 “, says a press release.
“Since the first Invictus Games in 2014, we knew that each competitor would contribute in their own unique way to a mosaic of resilience, determination and determination. This series will give communities around the world a window into the compelling and uplifting stories of these competitors in their way to Holland next year, “said Harry, co-founder of Archewell Productions, in a statement.
