The six-part docuseries sheds light on the couple's love story.
Netflix released the first three episodes of the much-awaited documentary series on Prince Harry and his wife Meghan Markle. The six-part docuseries sheds light on the couple's love story and the problems they faced as part of the royal family.
Here are five biggest revelations by the couple in the new docuseries:
- In one of the episodes, Prince Harry spoke about the history of bad treatment against women who enter the royal family. "The pain and suffering of women marrying into this institution, this feeding frenzy," he said. The Duke also revealed that he was scared the media intrusion would be too much for Meghan and drive a wedge between them and drive her away as it had “past relationships”.
- In the docuseries, Meghan Markle spoke about their engagement interview as well. She called it an “orchestrated reality show”. “It was rehearsed,” she said. The Duchess of Sussex explained that they did a photo call with the press in Kensington palace gardens, went inside and did the interview “so it's all in that same moment”. “My point is", Meghan said, "we weren't allowed to tell our story, because they didn't want [us to]". "We've never been allowed to tell our story", Prince Harry agreed.
- Prince Harry opened up about dressing up as a Nazi in 2005. “It was one of the biggest mistakes of my life. I felt so ashamed afterwards,” he said.
- Meghan Markle's mother Doria also spoke for the first time in public. She described how she found out the couple were dating and when she first met Prince Harry. The docuseries also gave insight into the mother-daughter relationship. Doria recalled that Meghan said she “felt like her older, controlling sister,” rather than a parent.
- The Duke of Sussex revealed that he was worried for his wife and thought that she would end up like his late mother, Princess Diana. He said that he feared that "history would repeat itself" when he married Meghan. “I accept that there will be people around the world who will fundamentally disagree with what I've done and how I've done it, but I knew that I had to do everything I could to protect my family, especially after what happened to my mum,” he said.
