It’s about race,” giving viewers a glimpse of what the series might dive into.

What do the newspapers say?
Several of Tuesday’s tabloids lead with reactions to the latest trailer for the Harry and Meghan Netflix series. For the right-leaning tabloids, the latest trailer is a headache as there are claims of “leaked” and “planted” stories from inside the palace, that led to Harry and Meghan quitting royal life.
Football stories, including the latest on whether Raheem Sterling will return to Qatar, and a message from Harry Kane find a place on most front pages.
Beyond the tabloids, the papers lead with news prime minister will back down on compulsory housebulding targets as he faces pressure from backbench Tory MPs. Rising cases of strep A in schools and strike action lead on the front pages.
