The mum-of-two, 41, said the move has come “even if it means it may not be the way we would have told it”.
She told the new issue of Variety magazine: “It’s nice to be able to trust someone with our story – a seasoned director whose work I’ve long admired – even if it means it may not be the way we would have told it.
“But that’s not why we’re telling it. We’re trusting our story to someone else, and that means it will go through their lens.”
The ex-‘Suits’ actress added: “It's interesting. My husband has never worked in this industry before. For me, having worked on ‘Suits,’, it’s so amazing to be around so much creative energy and to see how people work together and share their own points of view. That’s been really fun.'
Emmy-nominee Liz, 52, was set to work on the Duchess’ series Pearl before it was ditched by Netflix, and helmed the last season of ‘The Handmaid's Tale’.
She has also been involved in TV and film projects about oppressed women including ‘Girlhood’, which follows two female inmates of a juvenile detention centre who fell victim to violence.
The Sussexes, who share son Archie, three, and 16-month-old Lilibet, had been working on the series as part of their rumoured $100 million (£88 million) deal with Netflix.
