And the trailers indicate that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, who stepped down from their royal duties and moved to California two years ago, are directing more criticism of Harry’s father, King Charles, and his older brother, Prince William.
The first three of the six episodes will be released on Thursday.
The monarchy witnessed its biggest crisis in decades in March of last year, following an interview conducted by the famous American talk show host Oprah Winfrey with the couple, in which they accused the royal family of racism and abuse.
How was the publicity for the series?
• Megan, 41, says in a clip released by “Netflix”: “When the stakes are so high, wouldn’t it make sense to hear the story from us?”
• Harry (38 years) says in another trailer: “No one knows the truth completely. We are the ones who know the whole truth.”
• In another clip, the prince refers to people who work for the royal family and brief journalists on news of family members, describing the matter as a “dirty game.”
Neither Buckingham Palace nor Kensington Palace, where William’s office is located, will comment before the release of the documentary series, which comes a week after a racial row involved William’s 83-year-old godmother and led to her stepping down from her honorary role as aide to the royal family.
Speculation about the documentary dominated British newspapers for a week, with the bulk of coverage largely targeting the couple, with them accused of making millions off their royal status while attacking their family.
The Sun newspaper said in its editorial: “The trailer is an act of war. This couple are not only willing to bite the hand that fed them, they relish it, and take every opportunity to harm Harry’s once beloved father, brother and sister-in-law.”
The Daily Mail’s style was equally scathing: “It is clear that the documentary will be a distorted parody. It may be their truth but it is certainly not a truth accepted by millions in this country.”
