Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have hired a veteran Hollywood producer to helm part of their growing team as they continue to build their company in the US.
The former royals have assigned Ben Browning as head of content for Archewell Productions and Archewell Audio, the companies they launched to produce content for their rumoured $180 million Netflix and Spotify deals.
Browning, who more recently produced the Oscar nominated film Promising Young Woman, is known for his work on Sanctum, which he executive produced with James Cameron as a developer, as well as the Jennifer Lawrence and Chris Pratt led 2016 film, Passengers.

“The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have founded a next-generation production company with best-in-class distribution partners in Netflix and Spotify, a clear agenda to inform and entertain, and an unparalleled global reach,” Browning said in a statement.
“From the moment they shared their vision for Archewell as a global production company that will spotlight diverse voices and share uplifting stories, I knew I wanted to help with this unique opportunity. It’s a thrilling company to be starting.”
Meghan and Harry’s office also confirmed today that their Archewell Foundation director, Catherine St-Laurent, had transitioned from chief-of-staff to a senior advisory role.
St-Laurent had first taken on her role within the company in April last year, and had previously worked for Bill Gates’ charitable ventures.
“She (St-Laurent) will continue to bring high-level strategic guidance to Archewell, which she helped launch and build over the course of the past year,” a spokesperson for Meghan and Harry said.

Meghan and Harry launched Archewell Foundation in October last year, a non-for-profit organisation with a purpose to “drive systemic cultural change”.
Their audio and production companies were also announced last year, with Archewell Audio and Archewell Productions forming another arm of the brand.
One of their first projects was their Archewell Audio podcast, which was released on Spotify in December.
The first episode saw the couple introduce themselves as simply Harry and Meghan, before Meghan says: “One of the things my husband and I have always talked about is our passion for meeting people and hearing their stories.
“And no matter what the story they usually offer an understanding of where someone else is coming from. And in some way, remind you of a story about yourself.”
Harry added: “And that is what this story is all about. To bring forward different perspectives and voices that perhaps you haven’t heard before.”
