A trailer for Prince Harry and Meghan’s Netflix documentary has been published, providing a first look at the couple’s account of why they stepped down from their royal duties.
Prince Harry stated, “No one can see what goes on behind closed doors.”
When the stakes were this high, wouldn’t it make more sense to hear our side of the story directly from us? Meghan adds.
This transpires amid the backdrop of a royal race controversy involving remarks made to a black guest at Buckingham Palace.
Prince Harry remarked, “I had to do everything I could to safeguard my family” in the teaser script for this 15-rated, six-part series titled Harry and Meghan.
The trailer opens with a series of never-before-seen black-and-white photographs, from a youthful couple fooling around to later tense and sorrowful shots of the Duchess of Sussex, Meghan.
This is intercut with a photograph of the Princess of Wales staring aggressively forward.
The one-minute trailer for the series, directed by Liz Garbus, is accompanied by increasingly sinister music, and the impending premiere of the series will generate royal worry.
Uncertainty surrounds the potential impact of the series, which will be followed by the possibility of fresh revelations in Prince Harry’s memoir, scheduled for publication in January.
There are certainly concerns within the Royal Family about the trailer interfering with Prince William and Catherine’s high-profile visit to Boston, Massachusetts, in the United States this week.
Already, their journey is in danger of being overshadowed by the race controversy at Buckingham Palace.
Wednesday, the godmother of Prince William, Lady Susan Hussey, resigned from her honorary duties for the Royal Family after the founder of the organization Sistah Space, Ngozi Fulani, recalled being repeatedly questioned where she “truly” came from during a Buckingham Palace reception.
A representative for Prince William stated that racism has no place in our culture in response to the controversy.
The BBC’s Daniela Relph, who is based in Boston, believes that the Prince and Princess of Wales are unlikely to remark on the Netflix series during their trip to the United States. According to royal insiders, the focus would be on meeting communities and locals.
Prince William and Catherine’s vacation to the United States will conclude on Friday with a ceremony awarding their Earth shot Prize for innovative environmental projects. Harry and Meghan are not anticipated to attend.
The Harry and Meghan Netflix series will depict the “secret days of their early courting” and will feature comments from family and acquaintances who have never spoken publicly “about what they’d experienced.”
According to the description, the behind-the-scenes story will expose a “portrait of the globe and how we treat each other,” including Prince Harry and Meghan’s interaction with the media.
The release date has not been announced by Netflix, although it is expected to begin next week.
