Prince Harry and Meghan's major 'disagreement' about Netflix show
Meghan Markle is gearing up to air her upcoming lifestyle show while her husband Prince Harry has begun shooting his sporting polo show with the streaming giant.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are in disagreement over whether to make their family lives private or not in their upcoming respective shows to be aired on Netflix.
The shows are considered to be a deal breaker for the duo as part of their £80 million Netflix deal - with Meghan Markle gearing up to air her lifestyle and cooking show, and Prince Harry already filming for his show inside the sporting world of polo.
The Sun has learned that their children Archie, four, and Lilibet, two, will not appear in either of the TV series.
An insider said: "Harry and Meghan have not always agreed on how much they should expose their children to the media but, in this case, Harry has clearly won."
Since being born, their children’s appearances are rare and they have been seen only in official photographs, and snippets in their Netflix docuseries 'Harry & Meghan'.
Harry has already started filming for his Netflix show, as camera crews followed the Montecito-based duo around the polo pitch in Miami for the annual glitzy Sentebale polo match on April 12.
Speaking to Hello! Magazine, polo professional, and Harry's best friend, Nacho Figueras said: "I cannot think of many people that can be better than him to be the kickoff of this storytelling."
Both shows will be made by the couple's Archewell Productions company and see the Duke and Duchess acting as executive producers.

Meghan Markle's true feelings about Princess Kate before she was a royal revealed
Meghan Markle's now-defunct blog The Tig gave an insight into how she felt about her future sister-in-law Princess Kate before they ever even met.

King Charles will endure 'difficult' Prince Harry meeting under one condition
King Charles may well meet with Prince Harry when he comes to the UK next week, but he will want the support of his wife Queen Camilla.
Royal expert Tom Quinn told The Mirror: "It's going to be very difficult for Harry to come to the UK and not visit his stricken father, King Charles.
"When the two meet it will almost certainly be a longer meeting than last time when father and son spent just 30 minutes together, but Camilla is likely to be there simply because she feels so protective of her husband and won’t want him to be upset at such a difficult time.
"Also, despite much that has been written, Camilla is exceptionally diplomatic and good at dealing with difficult situations and difficult people. If anyone can steer comfortably through a meeting with Harry, Camilla can – which is why Charles will want her there."
Prince William won't meet Prince Harry next week due to 'stress' he caused Princess Kate
Journalist Andrew Pierce spoke on the latest edition of The Mail's 'The Reaction', and said there was "no chance" of the brothers getting together.
He said: "Kate is still being treated [and] recovering and I think a lot of her stress, I would directly associate with Prince Harry and the book. I think it's been very difficult for her."
The commentator added: "I hope the King sees him [Prince Harry]. The relief is she [Meghan] is not coming. She is staying in America with the children."
The two words that show exactly how Queen Camilla feels about Prince Harry returning to UK
Queen Camilla is likely to be "otherwise engaged" when Prince Harry returns to the UK next week, according to an inside source.
While King Charles will likely make time to see his son, Queen Camilla may be less keen, as the source told the Daily Express: "Let’s just say that the Queen might be otherwise engaged. Although the King will have time in his diary for a brief visit, that hasn’t been confirmed yet due to the garden party schedule.
"Even if Harry does meet with his father, it is highly unlikely that Camilla will be in the same room."
Other sources have suggested that the King will want the Queen's support when he does meet Harry.
Prince Harry's 'unbelievably rude' comments to reporters on plane alongside Meghan Markle
A royal journalist has spoken about a memorable encounter he had with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle on a royal visit back in 2018.
Valentine Low told Hello!'s A Right Royal Podcast: "We were flying from Tonga back to Sydney. And often on these tours, there comes a point towards the end, when the royal might come back to the back of the plane and have a chat with us off the record, you know, not for printing, but it's a way of making bonds.
"It's a way of keeping us sweet. It's a way of having informal contact. And we were promised that he or they would come to the back of the plane, and it didn't happen.
"It didn't happen and this was a four or five-hour flight, 'When's this gonna happen? Then we were buckling up for the descent and we landed. And it hadn't happened.
"And only after we landed, they came back into the back of the plane. And Harry was slightly in front of Meghan, she was slightly behind him. And she didn't say much.
"She did make some strange remark about us wanting to get back for our Sunday lunch. And it was completely bizarre.
"But it's what he said that was memorable.
"He said 'thanks very much for coming, even though you weren't invited.' And we thought, 'What?'"
The 'real reason' King Charles will want Queen Camilla at any meeting with Prince Harry
The estranged father and son may shortly be reunited when Harry makes a brief visit to the UK next week.
Tom Quinn told The Mirror: "It's going to be very difficult for Harry to come to the UK and not visit his stricken father, King Charles.
"When the two meet it will almost certainly be a longer meeting than last time when father and son spent just 30 minutes together, but Camilla is likely to be there simply because she feels so protective of her husband and won’t want him to be upset at such a difficult time.
"Also, despite much that has been written, Camilla is exceptionally diplomatic and good at dealing with difficult situations and difficult people. If anyone can steer comfortably through a meeting with Harry, Camilla can – which is why Charles will want her there."
Meghan Markle's refusal to return to UK has 'nothing to do with security or childcare'
Meghan Markle will not be joining her husband Prince Harry when he returns to the UK next week, with the real reason behind her decision being explained.
Speaking to OK!, former BBC royal correspondent Jennie Bond said that Meghan's recent decision appears to be "the clearest indication yet" that she doesn't plan on returning to the UK again.
The expert added: "I’m afraid this does seem to be the clearest indication yet that Meghan really doesn’t want to return to the UK.
"I suppose it’s not surprising because there would be a huge amount of doubt about what kind of reception she would get. But it is sad."

Prince Harry to meet King Charles ‘briefly’ next week - but Queen Camilla set to snub him
Prince Harry will be in town to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the Invictus Games with a reading at St Paul’s Cathedral on May 8 - details the Daily Express exclusively revealed in March.
While there is a possibility of a brief meeting with his father, King Charles, on the fringes of the Buckingham Palace Garden Party on the same day, sources say the chances of Queen Camilla attending the meeting are slim.
“Let’s just say that the Queen might be otherwise engaged,” the source said. “Although the King will have time in his dairy for a brief visit, that hasn’t been confirmed yet due to the garden party schedule. Even if Harry does meet with his father, it is highly unlikely that Camilla will be in the same room.”
During his last visit to the UK in early February, Harry reportedly had a swift 45-minute meeting with the King at Clarence House. The details of that visit remain shrouded in mystery, including whether Queen Camilla was present.
How King Charles really felt about returning to public-facing royal duties this week
King Charles was “thrilled” to return to public-facing duties on Tuesday, the Queen revealed yesterday, and added that she’s “been trying to hold him back” during his cancer treatment.
Camilla, 76, made the comments as she welcomed 300 guests to Buckingham Palace on Wednesday afternoon to recognise those who support survivors of sexual assault. Guests included Carrie Johnson, Zara McDermott, Cherie Blair and Theresa May.
Camilla hailed those gathered for "standing up and committing yourselves to bringing an end to these heinous crimes" as she delivered a powerful speech on a cause she has championed for more than a decade.
But she also delighted those gathered by providing a brief health update on the King, after his triumphant return to royal duties on Tuesday, where he and Camilla visited a hospital and spent time chatting to cancer patients.
“I think he was really thrilled to be out,” she told Teresa Tideman, chairman of In Kind Direct. "I've been trying to hold him back."
New Princess Charlotte birthday photo taken by Kate released to mark her ninth birthday
A new picture of Princess Charlotte has been released to mark her ninth birthday today.
The adorable image was shared by the Prince and Princess of Wales on their social media accounts.
Kate and William released the image in the same way Prince Louis's sixth birthday was marked last week.
It marks a deviation from the usual process, which saw the images issued to the press in advance under embargo.
But both Louis and Charlotte's birthday pictures were shared directly to their social media accounts on the day of their birthdays, rather than the night before.
Happy 9th Birthday, Princess Charlotte! \ud83c\udf82

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle set to 'break royal protocol' in Nigeria in major snub
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are set to "break royal protocol" in Nigeria this month, a PR expert has suggested.
Following his solo appearance in the UK on May 8, Harry will be joined by Meghan to celebrate the Invictus Games in Nigeria.The couple will visit the African country to take part in a host of cultural activities and talks about the Games - as well as meeting some service members and their families.

Princess Charlotte's historic gift from late Queen that caused major change to the Firm
Princess Charlotte was granted a major historic gift from the late Queen Elizabeth that caused a major change in the line of succession.
The young royal, who celebrates her ninth birthday today, was saved from an unfair shift in royal status after her younger brother's birth due to one change made by the late Queen.
At the time of Princess Anne's birth, the Succession of the Crown Act meant that once her two youngers brothers' were born, she was then pushed down the line - but this didn't happen to Charlotte.
In 2013, the year of Prince George's birth, the late Queen updated the royal laws which meant that babies born into the Royal Family would have equal rights, regardless of their gender.
As a girl, Princess Charlotte - then fourth in line to the throne - kept her place upon Louis's birth in April 2018.
Prince Harry’s hope for UK visit laid bare - and how he’ll be left disappointed
Prince Harry is said to be disappointed that he will have to visit the UK alone next week.
The Duke of Sussex will be coming to the UK in order to celebrate 10 years of the Invictus Games but his wife Meghan Markle will remain at their Montecito home to look after the pair's children before joining him on a visit to Nigeria.
Her no-show is said to be likely to leave Harry feeling "so lonely" as he continues to deal with his fractured relationship with the Royal Family, a royal expert has claimed.
Mail on Sunday royal editor, Charlotte Griffiths, explained how Harry would have "loved" to have had his immediate family by his side, especially with the event being at St Paul's Cathedral, where his mum and dad were married.
Meghan Markle's new Netflix show will be 'inspired by Princess Kate's parenting'
Meghan Markle has reportedly taken a leaf out of Kate Middleton's parenting book for her upcoming Netflix show.
The Duchess of Sussex announced in March that she would be launching her own lifestyle brand, American Riviera Orchard, with a focus on homewares and kitchen accessories, as well as nut butters, jams and conserves.
It was later revealed that Meghan would feature in a new cooking show on Netflix, as part of her and Prince Harry's whopping £80 million ($100 million) five-year deal with the streaming giant, which would spotlight her new business venture.
Despite the frosty relationship with her sister-in-law, it is said that the Duchess has been "inspired" by Kate's approach to parenting; specifically, her desire to have her and Prince William's three children - Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis - alongside her at public appearances.
Princess Kate breaks tradition again with Princess Charlotte's birthday
Prince William and Princess Kate's only daughter, Princess Charlotte, celebrates her ninth birthday today, and fans have been looking forward to the annual birthday photo the family release of each child on their special day.
However, the Prince and Princess of Wales broke tradition last week when Prince Louis turned six, and it seems like they could be planning the same approach this time to release an image today.
The royals usually release images for their children's birthdays under embargo the day before, but when Louis turned six, a new picture was posted straight to social media on the young prince's actual birthday instead.
Prince Harry’s true feelings about fatherhood revealed and the moment has gone viral

TikTik user @harry.nd.meghan shared the interview which has garnered 138,0090 views, 8,570 likes and 200 comments
The caption reads: ”Prince Harry describes fatherhood and what it means to him. Harry and Meghan are goals.”
When Ms Kotb asks Harry what he enjoys about being a dad, he says: "All of it. The chaos, the learning, the reminder of just every element of yourself, your soul, right?
He adds: "So, I love it. I love every part of it. I've always wanted to be a dad, I've always wanted to have my own kids, and now I've got two little people who I'm responsible for."
Princess Charlotte’s lavish £35K birthday present that she was banned from keeping
Princess Charlotte, who celebrates her ninth birthday today, was once given a sapphire-encrusted gift as a baby, but it is unlikely she has ever laid her hands on it.
The gift is said to be a beautiful 18K white gold baby rattle lined with precious sapphires, rubies, and diamonds in the shape of a Union Jack flag and worth an eye-watering £35,426.
The stunning rattle was a gift given to Princess Charlotte when she was born on May 2, 2015, as a way of thanking Prince William and Princess Kate. It is because, after their engagement, sales of sapphire engagement rings soared, with women wanting to replicate Princess Kate’s iconic piece of jewellery - which once belonged to the late Princess Diana of Wales.
