A trailer was released this week for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s new Netflix documentary series, Live to Lead, which is inspired by Nelson Mandela.
The seven-part series will discuss social and climate change, and feature interviews with world leaders. Harry and Meghan are billed as executive producers and are likely to make an appearance.
Had Ardern been given greater clarity, she would likely have turned down any involvement in the Meghan and Harry project
In the trailer, among the likes of US Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Greta Thunberg, is New Zealand’s Prime Minister, Jacinda Ardern. In a brief clip she says: ‘As leaders, we have the keys to create a sense of security and a sense of hope.’ She is then shown embracing an activist.
However, Jacinda Ardern had no idea she would be featuring in the series until the moment the trailer dropped. A day later the prime minister’s office issued a statement saying her involvement in the series on ‘effective leadership’ had no connection with the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.
