Harry and Meghan new trailer – Prince discusses ‘planted stories’
Netflix released a new trailer for Prince Harry’s upcoming Netflix show – Harry and Meghan.
The trailer shows the prince speaking of the palace not only leaking stories but also “planting of stories” as part of a “dirty game”.
Harry describes the “pain of suffering of women marrying into this institution” in an apparent reference to his wife Meghan and the late Princess Diana.
A commentator also says “it’s about hatred. It’s about race,” in the trailer.
The Netflix show is set to start on Thursday at 08:00 and will release three episodes. A final three episodes are due to be released a week after the first drop.
Harry and Meghan new trailer
The new trailer reveals the show won’t hold back and Prince Harry and his wife Meghan Markle are wanting to tell their story – the full story.
The commentary over the trailer hears a voice say “there was a war against Meghan to suit other people’s agendas”.
Over an image of senior royals on the Buckingham Palace balcony, Prince Harry says: “There’s a hierarchy of the family. You know there’s leaking, but there’s also planting of stories.”
The new trailer shows allude to Harry and Meghan having a difficult relationship with the royal family, the media and the public.
It begins by showing Meghan being warmly received by the public and then Prince Harry suggests “everything changed”.
The trailer links Meghan’s experience to the pressure and hounding that Princess Diana faced.
Meghan is heard in the trailer saying “I realised, they’re never going to protect you”.
And the trailer ends with Prince Harry saying “we know the full truth.”
Harry and Meghan the series
The series has a 15 rating and a warning that it deals with “discrimination.”
But some questions have been raised about some of the footage used in the trailer – with some footage reportedly not involving Harry and Meghan at all.
Netflix has not yet commented on whether the footage is legit.
Buckingham Palace has not responded to the trailer and it’s not clear if they’ll address the show once it’s fully released.
But it’s likely the palace is concerned about what may be said, especially since Harry and Meghan appear to have distanced themselves from the project.
The documentary promises a “behind closed doors” account of why Harry and Meghan stepped back from royal duties in 2020.
Many will watch wanting to see if the series is more explosive than the Oprah interview, which saw Meghan claim an unnamed royal had asked “how dark” their son Archie’s skin might be.
Meghan noted a lonely and isolated life within the royal family and complained about a lack of support for her mental health.
Who is Prince Harry?
Harry and Meghan left royal life in 2020 and moved to Canada, before relocating to the United States. They have two kids and now work in the entertainment industry.
Harry has a book called SPARE due out in January.
He is the second son of King Charles and his first wife Princess Diana and the younger brother to Prince William.
