Since Harry and Meghan stepped down from royal duties two years ago and moved to California they have delivered stinging criticism of the British monarchy including allegations of racism,which has led to a rift with the rest of the family,most notably with Harry’s father King Charles and elder brother,Prince William.
The last time Harry and Meghan opened up about their relationship with the other royals in aninterview with Oprah Winfrey in March 2021,it plunged the institution into its biggest crisis of recent times,and the royals will be fearful of new damning revelations.
The timing of the trailer and the documentary could hardly be better for Netflix,with William and his wife Kate currently in Boston,and Buckingham Palace dealing with aracism row involving William’s godmother.
“Harry&Meghan. A Netflix Global Event”,the streaming service said on Twitter. The accompanying trailer features never seen before black and white pictures of the royal couple,and also one of them at an official event with William and Kate,with all four looking grim-faced.
“No one sees what’s happening behind closed doors,” Harry is heard saying in the trailer. Later he is shown saying:“I had to do everything I could to protect my family.”
