Prince Harry and his wife, the actress, are close to bearing fruit from their deal with the streaming service. The couple's Archewell Audio production company will be releasing a series on the streaming service this summer. The show is going to premiere after Harry andMeghan were encouraged by discussions over the efforts to fight misinformation. Archewell said the news is a result of those meetings.
