First look at Harry and Meghan’s next Netflix docuseries, Live to Lead

Yep, another one. Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have released the first look at their next Netflix docuseries, dropping next week.

Harry and Meghan are bringing yet another docuseries to Netflix.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s six-part docuseries Harry & Meghan dropped its final three episodes last Thursday — and the royal couple is already set for another.

Live to Lead will be a seven-part Netflix series with interviews from prominent leaders including New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern, the late Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Greta Thunberg, Gloria Steinem, social justice lawyer Bryan Stevenson and more.

The series was made with the goal of allowing these leaders to “share messages of courage, compassion, humility, hope and generosity.”

Netflix released the trailer for the series Monday with the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s voices over the majority of the video.

In the trailer, Prince Harry said the series was “inspired by Nelson Mandela.”

“Over the past few decades, we’ve seen a proliferation of destructive leaders, who, for instance, control power by closing borders, disseminating misinformation, and stoking fear of people considered to be ‘other’. We feel that there is a crisis of leadership at many societal levels globally,” the Nelson Mandela Foundation said in a statement.

The foundation hopes the series will “inspire a new generation of leaders.”

“With the world in the state that it is in, trying to heal from a global pandemic, with the rise of populism and misinformation, the need for effective leadership is critical,” said Sello Hatang, chief executive of the Nelson Mandela Foundation.

“Live to Lead was made to contribute towards inspiring better leaders, ones that are committed to ending poverty and inequity and who show the lead in making the just society of Nelson Mandela’s dreams.”

Prince Harry and Markle will executive produce the series, which is being produced by Blackwell & Ruth in association with The Nelson Mandela Foundation, the Sussexes’ production company Archewell and Cinetic Media.

Geoff Blackwell said the series came to life when he was working on a book with Ruth Hobday about Mandela back in 2018.

“As we worked to absorb 27 years of Mandela’s personal correspondence, reflecting on his brave and selfless commitment to the welfare of others, we were simultaneously confronted by a news cycle relentlessly focused on certain international politicians behaving in precisely the opposite way — shamelessly pursuing their own self-interest, using tactics of division and misinformation to serve power and not the people,” Blackwell said in a statement.

The contrast led Blackwell to want to tell the stories of those who “distinguish themselves through their moral courage, the conviction of their ideals and values, and their prioritisation of others.”

Blackwell approached the Nelson Mandela Foundation and together they sought out the individuals to be interviewed.

“The experience of interviewing them and sharing their stories has been an enriching one for all of us. Through their example, these leaders remind us of our own capacity for leadership and the best part of our humanity at a moment when the world needs true leaders, more than ever,” the statement said.

The new documentary series comes on the heels of Prince Harry and Markle’s personal docuseries, which had many bombshell claims about the royal family and the couple’s exit from royal life.

Live to Lead premieres on Netflix on December 31.
