Prince Harry has a new docuseries – and this time the spotlight is on others. On Wednesday, Netflix premiered "Heart of Invictus," which follows a group of injured soldiers as they prepare for the Invictus Games in The Netherlands. The Duke of Sussex and his wife, Meghan Markle, signed a lucrative contract to produce content for the streamer after they stepped back as senior royals in 2020.
Their six-part series, "Harry & Meghan," which details their love story and struggles with royal life, premiered last year.
"The world wants Prince Harry to win and will embrace him again if he is seen to be doing good and taking responsibility for his actions," royal expert Helena Chard told Fox News Digital. "Prince Harry should continue a life of service rather than having a pop at the royal family and the U.K. media." Several royal experts insisted that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex will aim to focus on separate projects as they look to revamp their brand in the U.S.
For Chard, it’s good news. "It … will help the U.K. embrace Harry again," she said.
"Harry believes in family, and I am hoping that in time, the royal rift will dissipate and a stronger royal family will emerge." "Despite strained relationships, I do feel King Charles will be proud of Prince Harry’s ‘Heart of Invictus’ documentary series," Chard added. At the time of the couple's royal exit, they cited what they saw as the media’s racist treatment of the duchess and a lack of support from the palace for their decision. After moving to California, Markle launched a podcast titled "Archetypes" in 2022, which topped Spotify charts around the world.
In December, the couple’s six-part Netflix documentary debuted. On Jan. 10, Harry’s memoir, "Spare," shattered the record
