Royal expert Rhiannon Mills argued the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have formed an ideal partnership with Netflix that will allow them to tell their own stories on an international platform.

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."
