Little has been known about the Sussexes' fly-on-the-wall documentary until today – we now know it's simply titled Harry & Meghan.
It was always denied this was a reality series and is supposed to tell the couple's love story, with interviews of friends and family understood to be part of the docuseries.
The series of private images at the start of the trailer shows the couple kissing and cuddling, Harry serenading Meghan, and the duchess showing her baby bump in a sheer dress, as well as shots of her crying.
They also include a time lapse of baby photos to them both now, suggesting the documentary starts at the beginning to tell their life stories and how they came together.
