Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have started their content spree on Netflix. On 31st December 2022, the couple will release another series of interviews with some of the influential personalities in the world. The new series ‘Live to Lead’ chronicles the life stories of certain political figures, athletes, and activists including Greta Thunberg, Stephen Curry, and others.
