Harry and Meghan's Netflix show is a 'destructive act of revenge' that will 'widen rift with William', experts say after latest trailer claims Palace insiders leaked stories about the Sussexes - and says 'it's about hatred and race'Daily Mail, Dec 5, 2022
Harry and Meghan's incendiary Netflix series is 'an amazing act of revenge' that will 'widen the rift' with Prince William and weaken the very institution he will inherit when he becomes King, royal experts told MailOnline today after the US streaming giant released a second trailer for the Sussexes' documentary.
In a new-one minute preview, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex lash out at the 'hierarchy of the family', claim insiders 'leaked and planted' stories about them, describe royal life as a 'dirty game', then - after footage of Princess Diana and Kate being hounded by photographers - talk about 'the pain and suffering of women marrying into this institution'.
The teaser will no doubt horrify courtiers bracing for further allegations that are likely to widen the rift between the Sussexes and the Waleses.
Speaking to MailOnline, royal author Richard Fitzwilliams speculated that the effects of the Netflix docuseries will be felt for years to come. 'This is a full frontal, extremely destructive attack on the Royal Family - the institution as well as members of those households,' he said.
He said: 'I think this will widen the rift between the brothers. There is no doubt that this Netflix series is an amazing act of revenge designed to weaken the very institution that William will inherit as future King. Of course everyone will be asking how King Charles will react to this in the short-term, but the effects of this will be felt in years to come. That's the whole point.
'This is a full frontal, extremely destructive attack on the Royal Family - the institution as well as individual households and members of those households. This series I suspect will greatly weaken the royals in the eyes of the world, especially among young people.'
During the teaser, a friend is heard claiming that the couple's experience has been 'about hatred, about race' as a strikingly intimate and previously unseen clip flashes up of an exasperated Harry holding a hand to his face as Meghan passes behind him while heavily pregnant with their daughter, Lili.
After a series of clips of photographers and newspapers being printed, Meghan says, 'I realised, they're never going to protect you' before she is seen once again crying. Harry then adds, 'I was terrified, I didn't want history to repeat itself.
