Archie & Lilibet will NOT appear in Sussexes’ new Netflix shows after couple disagree on keeping kids’ lives private
PRINCE Archie and Princess Lilibet will be kept off screens by the Sussexes in their upcoming Netflix shows.
Filming has started on both Meghan’s lifestyle show and Harry’s polo programme but the TV series will not include the children, The Sun on Sunday understands.
The shows are considered to be a make or break for the Duchess, 42, and the Duke, 39, as part of their £100million Netflix deal.
But Archie, four, and Lilibet, two, will not appear in either.
It comes after we last year revealed that the couple disagreed over whether to make their family lives public or not.
Harry is said to be keen to keep the children away from cameras, while Meghan is more relaxed about the world seeing them.
The children’s appearances are rare and they have been seen only in official photographs and in fleeting moments on the previous Harry & Meghan Netflix show.
An insider said: “Harry and Meghan have not always agreed on how much they should expose their children to the media but, in this case, Harry has clearly won.”
Meg’s show — which is said to “celebrate the joys of cooking and gardening, entertaining and friendship” — is not being filmed at the couple’s £11million home.
Instead, camera crews have been seen setting up at a neighbour’s house in Montecito, California.
Meanwhile, Harry is working on a TV series about the sport of polo.
He was spotted filming at the Royal Salute Polo Challenge for charity Sentebale’s fundraiser in Florida. The couple have vowed to stop trashing the royals after their previous series.
The Duke and Duchess — who stepped back from working royal life in 2020 — are understood to have ended their public attacks after the tell-all Oprah Winfrey interview and the fly-on-the-wall series sparked criticism.
Next month, Harry is set to return to the UK for a ten-year celebration of his Invictus Games at St Paul’s Cathedral, in London.
