Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have pitched a TV series that tackles female empowerment and racial equality, two issues that are close to Meghan's heart. The series, which is still in its early stages, aims to address the challenges faced by women and girls in today's world, including racial discrimination.
According to sources, the couple has suggested a series that will focus on the empowerment of women and young girls, with a particular emphasis on racial issues. The series will also explore feminism and will have a political stance.
While the couple will appear in the series, it will feature 'normal' people, not them, according to sources. The series is part of their plans to create a film and television production company, which they hope will make them a fortune after their break from the Royal Family.
Harry and Meghan have already pitched the idea to numerous companies, including NBC Universal, which had a meeting with its top bosses, including chairman of content studios Bonnie Hammer. Meghan has described Hammer as the woman who changed her life after casting her in the legal drama Suits.
As part of their plans, the couple also intends to provide voiceovers and produce documentaries on worthy issues, such as mental health and climate change. They have already started working on several projects, including a documentary about the Paralympic Games, which will air on Netflix.
