Noting Harry and Meghan’s accusation of racism within the royal family during their interview with Oprah, she adds: “It took a couple of days for the Queen to respond, and her response was very succinct – simply ‘some recollections may vary’.”

From the looks of the teaser trailer and official full-length trailer, the royal couple are going to be extremely open and candid about their experiences of being a couple in the public eye. In one moment from the trailer, Prince Harry can be heard saying: “There’s a hierarchy of the family, you know, there’s leaking, but there’s also planting of stories. It’s a dirty game.”
In another moment, Meghan can be seen wiping away tears as she says during a voiceover that she didn’t feel protected by the royal family: “I realised, ‘They’re never going to protect you’.”
