The first three episodes of “Harry and Meghan,” the new docuseries produced by and centering around the story of Prince Harry and Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, are doing well on Netflix in the show’s first week after a Dec. 8 release, making it the site’s second-most-streamed English-language series.

The documentary looks at all aspects of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s lives, from their childhoods through their meeting, marrying, starting a family, leaving official duties as part of the British royal family, and moving from England to the U.S.

The couple have been very private about their two children, Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor, 3, and Lilibet Diana Mountbatten-Windsor, 1. And protecting their family was a big reason for their move to America, as both discuss in the show. So the glimpses we see of Archie and Lili are intriguing.

A trailer for the second three episodes out Dec. 15 included a new photo of the family of four walking together, all dressed up. Meghan is barefoot and holding Archie, who is wearing a suit. Harry has Lilibet on his shoulders. You can see the photo at the 52-second mark in the trailer.

Viewers can also compare the two royal children to their parents when they were kids in the docuseries, as it shows photos and videos of both Harry and Meghan growing up. There is discussion about the intense paparazzi pressure Harry felt from his earliest years, and how his mother, Princess Diana, tried to protect her sons. We also see Meghan as a child with her mother, Doria Ragland, and father, Thomas Markle, and she talks about growing up as a mixed-race child. Both Harry and Meghan have divorced parents, and the two say that they think all kids of divorce have an instant commonality.

“Harry and Meghan” lets fans view the pair raising their kids in Montecito, California, near Santa Barbara. They are seen reading books, feeding chickens, visiting farm animals, going on nature walks, tromping on the sand at the beach and playing in their backyard. Archie also briefly lived with his parents in Vancouver, Canada, and Beverly Hills, California, before the family purchased a $14.7 million, 7.4-acre estate with a nine-bedroom mansion.

“I think it’s such a responsibility as human beings that if you bring a small person into this world, you should be doing everything you can to make the world a better place for them,” Prince Harry says in one episode.

As the older of the two, there’s more footage of Archie in the docuseries, and his little toddler voice is also heard off-camera.

For example, toward the start of the first episode, we hear Meghan exclaiming to Archie over a bright orange-and-purple sky, “Look at that. How would you describe that, Archie?” And he passionately replies, “Like it’s all done beautiful!”

Little Lilibet is also seen from time to time — including in the photo above of Harry giving the infant a kiss on the nose.

Here are some more images and footage of the two little Sussexes from “Harry and Meghan.”

The chickens were also seen in the couple’s infamous March 2021 TV interview with Oprah Winfrey, in which they talked about feeling unprotected by the British royal family, hounded by the press and vilified in the court of public opinion.

The second half of the docuseries debuted this week on Netflix, and we get a few more glimpses of the kids as the show continues, so you’ll want to tune in as soon as you can!
