Britain’s Duchess Meghan has created an animated family series for streaming platform Netflix that she will also executive produce, her production company said on Wednesday.

Archewell Productions, the company formed by Meghan and her husband, Prince Harry, said in a statement the series would be centered on the adventures of a 12-year-old girl, who is inspired by a variety of influential women from history.

The series, called “Pearl,” is one of the first to be announced by Netflix and the British couple, formally known as the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. They struck the deal last year after they quit their royal duties and moved to California.

“Like many girls her age, our heroine Pearl is on a journey of self-discovery as she tries to overcome life’s daily challenges,” Meghan said in a statement.

“I’m thrilled that Archewell Productions, partnered with the powerhouse platform of Netflix, and these incredible producers, will together bring you this new animated series, which celebrates extraordinary women throughout history.”

No date was given for the launch of the series.

For years rumors have persisted that Princess Diana and Sarah “Fergie” Ferguson had a fallout before the royal’s tragic death – but the Duchess of York said they had an unshakable bond until the end.

“We promised each other we would always be together – there was never any daylight between us,” the 61-year-old told People magazine on Wednesday. “But everybody wanted that because we were so strong together. People want to break something so strong.”

Diana and Ferguson first met as teenagers before they married two of Queen Elizabeth II’s sons.

“We were best friends from when she was 14 and I was 15,” she told the outlet, noting that her nickname for Diana was “Duch.”

“She taught me so much of public life,” Ferguson reflected. “She was so brave. We used to have the most incredible time together.”

Ferguson was married to Prince Andrew from 1986 until 1996. They share two daughters: Princess Beatrice, 32, and Princess Eugenie, 31.

“[Diana] adored my girls,” Ferguson told the outlet. “She adored [her] boys. This would be her haven.”

“She would be very proud of her sons and their wives,” Ferguson continued. “And she would be just like me, obsessed with her grandchildren. Because that’s what she loved… If she were sitting with me right now, I know she would say, ‘I am so proud of both of my boys and the wonderful wives they have chosen. Because each has got her own voice.

Diana was married to Prince Charles, the queen’s eldest, from 1981 until 1996. The princess passed away in 1997 from injuries she sustained in a Paris car crash. She was 36.

On July 1, which would have been her 60th birthday, Diana’s sons Prince William and Prince Harry unveiled a statue of their late mother in the Sunken Garden at London’s Kensington Palace, a place she once found solace.

The Emmy Award recognises achievements in different sectors of the television industry, and is one of the major entertainment awards in the United States. Other top awards include Grammy, Oscar and Tony Awards.

The music industry is weighted against artists, with even successful pop stars seeing “pitiful returns” from streaming, a committee of MPs has said.

They are calling for a “complete reset” of the market, with musicians given a fair share of the £736.5 million that UK record labels earn from streaming.

In a report, they said royalties should be split 50/50, instead of the current rate, where artists receive about 16%.

The findings came after a six-month inquiry into music streaming.

“While streaming has brought significant profits to the recorded music industry, the talent behind it – performers, songwriters and composers – are losing out,” said Julian Knight, MP, who chairs parliament’s Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) committee.

“Only a complete reset of streaming that enshrines in law their rights to a fair share of the earnings will do.”

The findings will be seen as a victory by pop stars like Mick Jagger, Paul McCartney, Melanie C, Wolf Alice and Jessie Ware, who recently called on the Prime Minister to reform the way musicians get paid when their songs are streamed.

Musician Tom Gray, whose #BrokenRecord campaign prompted the inquiry, said he was “overjoyed” by the findings.

“It feels like a massive vindication,” he said. “They’ve really come to the same conclusions that we’ve been saying for a very long time.”

The BPI, which represents the UK recorded music industry, was more cautious.

It said streaming was “enabling more artists than ever” to earn a “long-term, sustainable income” and that new policies should be properly examined to ensure against “unintended consequences for investment into new talent”.
