Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have reportedly agreed to appear in their own fly-on-the-wall reality show for Netflix.

Earlier this year the couple stepped down as senior Royals after growing frustrated with British press intrusion into their lives - relocating to Los Angeles, renowned as one of the paparazzi capitals of the world.

The Duke and Duchess then signed an exclusive deal with Netflix - said to be worth $150 million (£117 million) - in order to produce and appear in multiple programmes, although it was expected that their on-camera exploits would be limited to hosting documentaries.

According to The Sun, however, they have agreed to be followed by Netflix cameras for a period of three months for a series that Markle is said to hope will show "the real her".

"It will be tasteful," a source told the newspaper. "They want to give people a glimpse into their lives.

"Much of the docuseries will be about their philanthropy rather than what they get up to behind closed doors.

"But it will still be a fascinating insight and Meghan hopes viewers will get to see the real her."

The couple came in for criticism last week after releasing a video in which Harry urged Americans to "reject hate speech" when they vote in the US election in November.
