How many episodes is Harry & Meghan?

Billed as a "limited series", Harry & Meghan will consist of six episodes. Judging from the trailer, the episodes will span from the beginning of their early relationship as they took trips and enjoyed dates together, up to the present day as they raise their family while living in Montecito, California.

The trailer also showed an array of never-before-seen photos including a handful of intimate wedding photos, candid holiday snaps from Botswana, and a smattering of heartwarming pregnancy photos.

What else is there to know about Harry & Meghan?

As well as hearing from Harry and Meghan themselves, the in-depth documentary will also hear from people close to the couple, some of whom have never spoken out before.

As the synopsis explains: "With commentary from friends and family, most of whom have never spoken publicly before about what they witnessed, and historians who discuss the state of the British Commonwealth today and the royal family’s relationship with the press, the series does more than illuminate one couple’s love story, it paints a picture of our world and how we treat each other."
