Netflix employee reveals real reason Prince Harry only features in Meghan Markle’s new series briefly

After waiting for feels like ages, fans have finally been able to sink their teeth into Meghan Markle's brand-new lifestyle series which only just dropped today (4 March).

The TV series in question - which features a number of fellow famous faces including Mindy Kaling, Abigail Spencer, Delfina Blaquier, and Roy Choi - will give Netflix viewers a chance to 'join Meghan in the kitchen, garden - and even at the beehive'.

Now, while the Duchess of Sussex fronts the show, it's clear With Love, Meghan isn't going to be a husband and wife programme as Prince Harry only features in it very briefly, with a Netflix employee now revealing the reason behind why he's chosen to do so.

Speaking in a recent interview with PEOPLE published Monday (3 March), the crew member noted that Harry only makes a fleeting appearance in the final episode.

However, while he may not have been in front of the camera a lot, his presence on set was clearly felt behind the scenes.

"Whenever Harry visited set, he was always super polite and friendly," the crew member explained. "But it was clear he wanted this to be Meghan’s moment to shine."

Elsewhere in the interview, Meghan added that her hubby loves watching her step back into her creativity, sharing: "I see this spark in his eye when he sees me doing the thing that I was doing when he first met me."

With Love, Meghan isn't actually filmed at her and Harry's Montecito home, which they consider their sanctuary but instead in a nearby rental property.

"I wanted to protect that safe haven," the mum-of-two explained. "We’re a close-knit family, and I love those moments - putting Lili down for a nap, having lunch together, having sacred time together at the end of the day.

"Our kitchen is where Mama just cooks for the family, and with a crew of 80-plus people, that’s a lot of people to have in your house!"

And, while she may not have filmed the series in her home, Meghan found ways to incorporate family life into it.

"Archie did the [filming clapboard]! Sweet moments," she continued. "They would also come with my husband and visit me on-set, and I loved that my children were able to watch me working and see the balance of that and understand what Mama does and is working to create and share.

"It was really special because up until then, they hadn’t seen me at work."

With Love, Meghan is currently available to stream on Netflix.
