\"Before SussexRoyal, came the idea of 'Arche' -- the Greek word meaning 'source of action,'\" Harry and Meghan said in a statement to ABC News in April. \"We connected to this concept for the charitable organization we hoped to build one day, and it became the inspiration for our son's name.\"

The first podcast from Harry and Meghan's Archewell Audio brand will debut later this month. It will be a holiday special hosted by the couple that will feature, \"stories of hope and compassion from inspirational guests in celebration of the new year,\" according to Spotify.

In September it was announced the Sussexes had inked a deal with Netflix to produce films and series, including docu-series, documentaries, features and children's programming, with a priority on creating programs that resonate with their values and highlighting issues on which their Archewell nonprofit will also focus.

Currently there are several projects in development, including a nature docu-series and an animated series that celebrates inspiring women, according to a source close to the couple.

Harry, 35, and Meghan, 39, stepped back as \"senior members\" of the royal family in March and relocated with Archie from the United Kingdom to California, where Meghan was born and raised.
