In the trailer for the multi-part documentary, Meghan said, “When the stakes are high, wouldn’t it make sense to hear the story from us?”
And the last time Harry and Meghan revealed the nature of their relationship with other royals in an interview with Oprah Winfrey in March 2021, the institution was plunged into its biggest crisis in recent memory. Members of the British royal family fear devastating new discoveries.
And there’s almost no better time for Netflix to air the trailer and documentary because Prince William and his wife Kate are currently in Boston and Buckingham Palace is dealing with a racism issue regarding William’s godmother.
Fulani, who was born in Britain and works for a domestic violence group, described the issue as “abuse”. Both Buckingham Palace and William were quick to condemn the incident and a spokesman for the prince said: “Racism has no place in our society.”
“Nobody sees what happens behind closed doors,” Harry says in the trailer, and appears in a later clip saying, “I had to do everything I could to protect my family.”
While no official release date has been set for the six-part documentary, media outlets have reported that it will air on December 8.
