They also include a look at the couple's first marital home, Nottingham Cottage at Kensington Palace, where Prince Harry proposed to Meghan in 2017.

Photos showing Harry taking a phone call in the cottage garden featured in episode two of the series, as the couple's discussed the media response after news first broke of their relationship in 2016.
