The parents to one-year-old Archie made the controversial move to secure financial and personal freedom.

With Netflix the couple will produce a range of content, including documentaries, children's programmes and scripted series.

Meghan, best-known for her role in his series, Suits, will not be returning to acting.

Harry and Meghan said in a statement: "Our lives, both independent of each other, and as a couple have allowed us to understand the power of the human spirit: of courage, resilience, and the need for connection.

"Through our work with diverse communities and their environments, to shining a light on people and causes around the world, our focus will be on creating content that informs but also gives hope.

"As new parents, making inspirational family programming is also important to us, as is powerful storytelling through a truthful and relatable lens."

Netflix has said there were already several projects in development including an innovative nature docu-series and an animated series that celebrates inspiring women.

Harry and Meghan have recently bought an £11 million house in the celebrity hotspot of Santa Barbara following their move from the UK.

It is not known how much the couple will be paid for producing the content but reports claimed they have signed a deal for a number of years after holding talks with other global entertainment companies.
