Archie and Lilibet will not feature in Prince Harry and Meghan Markle‘s new Netflix shows, which are set to explore the couple’s love of ‘polo, gardening, entertaining and friendship’.
Harry, 39, and Meghan, 42, announced the two new non-fiction Netflix shows, which are part of the couple’s ongoing £80m deal with Netflix, last week.
One series will see the Duke of Sussex delve into the world of professional polo, a sport that he has played since he was a child.
Meanwhile the Duchess will focus on lifestyle-centric topics like gardening and cooking in a move that will likely allow her to cross-promote her new brand American Riviera Orchard.
But Archie, four, and Lilibet, two, will not appear in the shows, The Sun reports.

The pair have rarely appeared in public with the exception of official photographs and a brief showing on Harry and Meghan’s 2022 Netflix documentary.
The new shows will also be filmed away from the couple’s £11million mansion, with camera crews heading to a neighbour’s house in Montecito, California, instead.
The announcement of the Sussexes’ latest Netflix series came less than a year after the couple revealed plans to produce a film adaptation of Carley Fortune’s Meet Me At The Lake, which echoes their personal story and includes a character whose parent dies in a car crash.
Sources previously described the book as ‘right up their alley’ because they ‘love love stories and rom-coms’.
The Sussexes famously wanted to tell their own ‘love story’ in their bombshell 2022 Netflix documentary ‘Harry & Meghan.’
The first series of the new programme will see Meghan ‘celebrate the joys of cooking, gardening, entertaining, and friendship’.
The show is being produced by Sony Pictures Television’s The Intellectual Property Corporation, the company behind Hulu’s The D’Amelio Show and A&E’s Leah Remini: Scientology & the Aftermath.

The Duchess of Sussex is set to be an executive producer for Archewell, alongside Chanel Pysnik the company’s head of non-fiction.
Meanwhile, the second series will focus on the glitzy world of polo, with the prince joining Meghan and Pysnik as an executive producer on the second project.
The series will be produced by Boardwalk Pictures, who are also behind hit Netflix shows Chef’s Table, Pepsi, Where’s My Jet? and Sex, Love & Goop.
It was primarily shot during the U.S. Open Polo Championship in Wellington, Florida, at The USPA National Polo Center.
The show will go behind the scenes of the sport, exploring what it takes to compete at the highest level.
It is a topic that Harry is extremely well versed in, having been playing the sport since he was a child – with both his father King Charles and his brother Prince William also known to be firm fans of the game.

Last month it emerged that the Royal Family would be put in a ‘difficult position’ if Prince Harry’s Invictus Games returns to the UK for the first time since he and Meghan moved to the US.
Senior royals would need to take a stand on if they support the event, which they did at the first games in 2014 when then-Prince Charles, Camilla, and Prince William appeared alongside Harry for the opening ceremony.
Meanwhile, the Duke of Sussex said he would not feel comfortable bringing his wife and their children, Prince Archie, four, and Princess Lilibet, two, to Britain if he was unable to appeal a recent ruling which downgraded his taxpayer-funded personal security when he visits Britain.
