Prince Harry and Meghan Markle produce first Netflix series on Invictus Games titled Heart of Invictus - ABC News

The first Netflix series by Prince Harry and Meghan, Duchess of Cornwall will centre on the Invictus Games, which gives sick and injured military personnel and veterans the opportunity to compete in sports.

Key points:

• The couple's company said the series would focus on athletes competing in the Invictus Games for injured veterans in The Hague in 2022
• Prince Harry will appear on camera and serve as an executive producer
• The producers of the Oscar-winning short documentary The White Helmets will direct and produce the series

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex's Archewell Productions said it would focus on athletes competing in the Invictus Games for injured veterans in The Hague in 2022.

The multi-episode documentary series, titled Heart of Invictus, is in partnership with the Invictus Games Foundation, of which Prince Harry is a patron.

Prince Harry will appear on camera and serve as an executive producer.

The series will provide behind-the-scenes stories of athletes and organisers as they prepare for the event, which has been delayed until next spring due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Netflix said.

When Meghan Markle zoomed in on the photo, she saw 'the truth'

Wrapped in a sequin gown, the sixth in line to the British throne by her side, Meghan Markle was every bit the picture of royalty. But far from the magical evening portrayed in the headlines, she "didn't want to be alive".

Orlando von Einsiedel will direct the multi-episode series and Joanna Natasegara will be its producer, Netflix said.

The duo produced the Oscar-winning short documentary The White Helmets about a rescue group in Syria.

The Invictus Games is a multi-sport event created in 2017 by Prince Harry — who served as a soldier in Afghanistan — for military personnel wounded in action.

The couple, who have been in the news following their interview with Oprah Winfrey last month, signed a multi-year production deal with Netflix in September.

Prince Harry and Meghan now live in California after making a final split with the British royal family.
