The news comes just a day after it was revealed Harry’s brother, Prince William, is to feature in his own documentary series, which will cover his charity work to help end homelessness.
A TV source told The Sun newspaper: “This is pretty extraordinary - it’s never been done before.
“Generally access to senior royals is very limited and totally controlled, but William clearly wants to change that.
“He’s keen to highlight his work, particularly on a homeless project which was a subject very close to his mother’s heart, and to connect with the public on a new level.
“He knows all too well how important it is that the monarchy develops a more modern relationship with the British people.
