The new documentary ‘Harry – The Lost Prince’ is set to air on Germany’s ZDF network and will have the Duke and Duchess of Sussex as the primary focus.
As part of the new programme, film makers have looked into the prince’s struggles when he was a working member of the Royal Family and his life now in California with Meghan and their two children Prince Archie, 5, and Princess Lilibet, 3.

He explained: “If the film shows the royal exiles as down-to-earth, relatable and with humor it could be a tremendous boost to how they are perceived.”
