A significant detail spotted during the couple’s whirlwind NYC trip has offered a huge hint at what they’re planning to do next.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle secretly taped their NYC visit for a Netflix documentary about their lives, according to reports.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex brought their own videographer with them on their whirlwind trip, and he was seen accompanying them around the city. They also brought their own photographer, Matt Sayles, to document them, Page Six confirmed.

And in another major sign that the couple is documenting their outings for a documentary, Harry appeared to be sporting a mic as he visited iconic Harlem soul food eatery Melba.

He had a wire around his neck, which was then seen tucked into the pocket of his pants as he hugged restaurant owner Melba Wilson.

Despite the hot Big Apple weather, Meghan brought a wardrobe of heavy winter coats and jackets for all of their engagements — thick enough to hide any mic.

Sources who know the Sussexes say they have also been collecting footage for the archives of their Archewell foundation.

However, Page Six also reported that one of the first things they ever discussed with Netflix chiefs before signing a multimillion-dollar deal in September 2020 was making a fly-on-the-wall documentary about their lives.

The couple, in conjunction with their production company Archewell Productions, inked the deal after leaving the royal family early last year.

So far, the only projects to be announced are one documentary on Harry’s passion project, the Invictus Games, which gives sick and injured military personnel and veterans the opportunity to compete in sports.

Meghan has teamed up with Sir Elton John’s husband, producer David Furnish, on a 12-year-old girl’s adventures in an animated series, with the working title Pearl.

In December, they announced another multimillion-dollar deal with Spotify for their Archewell Audio podcast, which they said would include podcasts and programming “that uplifts and entertains audiences around the world”.

Spotify said a full series would launch in 2021 but, as of September, the couple have only released one holiday special in December which featured their son Archie and Elton John.

Harry also recently took part in a six-episode series alongside Oprah Winfrey on mental health for Apple TV+ called The Me You Can’t See.

As Page Six revealed, Harry has also signed a mega deal for his memoir – and as part of the deal, he’s teaming up with Meghan on a book about “leadership”.

The couple stepped out on stage Saturday afternoon at the Global Citizen Live concert in Central Park, were they called for COVID-19 vaccine equality.

A Sussex rep was unavailable for comment.
