The series, called Pearl, was announced last week as part of the duke and duchess’s deal with Netflix, which was signed in September last year. Furnish hinted that the series had been a long time in the making in his statement last week, when he said he was delighted they were “finally able to announce this exciting animated series”. Netflix said the series was created by the duchess, who will serve as an executive producer along with Furnish. The couple’s team also insisted that any discussions with Netflix dating back to 2018 were exclusively about the Pearl project. The series was originally just one of many “one-off creative advocacy projects” brought to Markle as a working royal.
