Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have revealed details of their first Netflix series, part of their multi-million dollar deal with the network.

It will focus on the Invictus Games, the competition that gives sick and injured soldiers and veterans the chance to compete in sport.

The Games have long been a favourite cause for Harry, who served for the British Army in Afghanistan.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex's Archewell Productions announced that the multi-episode docuseries will be titled Heart of Invictus and produced in partnership with the Invictus Games Foundation.

Harry, the patron of the foundation, will appear on camera and also serve as executive producer.
