Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are captured in a private moment with Archie, in a new trailer for a documentary about their tour of Africa.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are captured in a private moment with Archie, in a new trailer for a documentary about their tour of Africa.
The Duke of Sussex holds baby Archie Mountbatten-Windsor as the Duchess of Sussex plants a kiss on her son’s forehead in Harry & Meghan: An African Journey.
The intimate family moment was filmed just before a meeting between the young royals and South African activist Archbishop Desmond Tutu.
Harry filmed the documentary on the sidelines of his African tour which “explains a lot”, his journalist friend Tom Bradby says.
As the British press downloads Prince Harry’s blistering attack on them — and specifically The Mail On Sunday which he is suing — new details emerged of the documentary.
Mr Bradby, who presents the News at Ten on Britain’s ITV, announced the project shortly after Harry and Meghan Markle arrived back in London.
“Just finished filming a documentary on Harry and Meghan in Africa. I think it will explain a lot when it airs,” he tweeted today.
Mr Bradby was hand-picked by Prince William and Kate to interview them on their engagement in 2010.
Harry and Meghan chose the BBC’s Mishal Husain for their engagement interview.
But the relationship with Mr Bradby, 52, whom is called a friend of Harry, has remained close.
Harry, 35, needs friends in the press after he dropped a bomb on them with an explosive statement this week announcing that he and Meghan, 38, were suing The Mail on Sunday over an article based on a letter that she had written to her estranged father.
After more than a week of positive headlines, the Duke of Sussex revealed in a statement that he was angry at the way his wife had been treated by the British press.
“Unfortunately, my wife has become one of the latest victims of a British tabloid press that wages campaigns against individuals with no thought to the consequences,” he wrote.
“There is a human cost to this relentless propaganda, specifically when it is knowingly false and malicious, and though we have continued to put on a brave face — as so many of you can relate to — I cannot begin to describe how painful it has been.”
And then he linked Meghan’s treatment with the press’ pursuit of his mother.
“I’ve seen what happens when someone I love is commoditised to the point that they are no longer treated or seen as a real person. I lost my mother and now I watch my wife falling victim to the same powerful forces,” he said.
However, Ingrid Seward editor-in-chief of royal bible Majesty magazine, said he had shot himself in the foot.

“Harry didn’t think this through,” she said.
“He can’t exist without the press and do what he wants to do.”
The long-time royal watcher, who knew Diana, said his mother had a different approach.
“Diana made her enemies her friends, she manipulated the media, she was brilliant at it,” she said.
“She didn’t get angry the way Harry does.”
London-based newspaper The Sun said in an editorial this week: “If Harry wants a millionaire’s lifestyle, above criticism and with total privacy, he can.
“By living as a private citizen, getting a job and earning his own fortune.”
