A TV series proposed by Prince Harry and Meghan will focus on two issues closest to her heart – female empowerment and racial equality. It will tackle discrimination like that faced by mixed-race Meghan herself as she grew up in Los Angeles. These are the first details to emerge of a project which the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have pitched to a string of network executives.

A TV insider said: “They have suggested a series focusing on the empowerment of women and young girls in today’s world. It will home in on race issues, something Meghan has always been passionate about. It’s got quite a political stance and will also draw on feminism. They want the series to continue their vision of empowerment for young people.” Sources say the couple “will appear in it but it’s about ‘normal’ people, not them.”
