Harry and Meghan’s documentary features a series of highly-personal photographs and clips of their son Archie.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have been famously private about their children, Archie, three, and Lilibet, one, but the TV programme shows their son running on the beach, at home in Montecito and snuggling up with his father.

A photo from Archie’s first birthday is also featured, and his American accent is revealed. Meghan says: “We’ve been really conscious about protecting our kids as best we can and also understanding the role they play in this really historical family.”

The first episode shows a barefoot Harry pushing Archie across the floor as he sits on a wheeled suitcase.

It cuts to Harry saying: “As a dad, and as parents, I think consent is a really key piece to this. That if you have children it should be your consent as to what you share.”

Meghan also discloses that her son’s favourite song is Bennie And The Jets by Sir Elton John, a close friend.

In the second episode, Harry takes his son for a walk in an area that appears to be near their home. The duke is heard singing Heigh-Ho from Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.

Elsewhere, the boy happily walks along a path with the family’s black labrador before telling his father “Archie is running away!”

It then jumps to a clip of father and son back at their home, where Harry is admiring some hummingbirds. “We won’t get a chance to be this close to hummingbirds ever again,” Harry tells his son. As Meghan films them both, Archie asks: “Why?”

He then exclaims: “I’ve got a dirty foot, mama, because I was with you!”
