The final three episodes of Prince Harry and his wife Meghan’s Netflix documentary series air on Thursday, with more criticism expected to be directed at the British royals just as King Charles and his family gather for a Christmas carol service.
In the first tranche of episodes released last week, Harry and Meghan again launched fierce attacks on the media over their treatment, some of which they said had been racist, but the royals themselves escaped relatively unscathed.Trailers for the final shows indicate some more damning commentary on the Windsors, however, with Harry referring to “institutional gaslighting”, and saying unspecified people had been “happy to lie to protect my brother”, Prince William, who is now heir to the throne.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, as Harry and Meghan are officially known, stepped down from royal duties in March 2020, saying they wanted to forge new lives in the United States away from media harassment, which the couple said had threatened to destroy their mental health.“I wonder what would have happened to us had we not got out when we did,” Harry says in a trailer. “I said ‘we need to get out of here’,” he adds, describing their exit as the “freedom flight”.
Both Buckingham Palace and William’s office, Kensington Palace, have said they would not be commenting on the documentaries. According to initial figures cited by the BBC, some 2.4 million viewers in Britain watched the first episode on the day it was released, although the senior royals themselves have steered clear, royal sources have told newspapers.
