King Charles was asked about the documentary in London

Meghan said: "There's so much from anyone’s childhood that you bring with you into the present. Especially when you're the product of divorce."

Harry added: "What's most important to the two of us is to make sure that we don’t repeat the same mistakes that perhaps our parents made.

Harry spoke about the effect his parents' divorce has had

"I think most kids who are the product of divorced parents have a lot in common, no matter what your background is.

"Being pulled from one place to another or maybe your parents are competitive, or you're in one place longer than you want to be or in another place less than you want to be. There's all sorts of pieces to that."

King Charles was asked about the docuseries as he joined a reception with Christian Communities in King's Cross.
