Netflix subscribers are getting an early Christmas present from Harry and Meghan, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. While previous reports claimed their documentations Harry & Megan was pushed back to early 2023, the streaming platform announced today that it will debut in two installments just before the holidays.
The first volume, which will contain three episodes, will be released on December 8th, while the second volume, which will contain a further three episodes, will be released on December 15th. The announcement comes just a few months after reports announced the series was being pushed back into the new year following backlash over Netflix’s fifth season The crown, another royal title of the streamer.
But it’s likely that royals will be upset regardless of when the document is released, as Harry and Meghan make some pretty potent allegations in a new trailer revealed today along with the release date. The first look includes some glimpses of Harry saying, “It’s really hard to look back on that now and be like, ‘What on earth happened?'” while British media voiceovers praise Meghan before the couple indicating that “everything has changed. ”
“There’s a hierarchy in the family,” Harry continues. “There are leaks, but there are also planting stories.”
While Meghan says she’s realized “they” – presumably the royal family – will never protect her, Harry calls the situation a “dirty game”. He adds: “The pain and suffering of the women who marry into this institution. This binge eating,” before alluding to Princess Diana’s tragic fate as he admits, “I was scared. I didn’t want history to repeat itself.”
The minute-long trailer, which includes accusations of “hate” and racism in the treatment of Meghan, ends with Harry capturing a video of himself on his phone while saying: “Nobody knows the full truth. We know the full truth.”
Directed by Liz Garbus Harry & Megan will shed light on the couple’s love story and further reveal their controversial decision to step down as working royals. And if the two teasers are any indication of what’s to come, let’s just say we’ll be hearing a lot more about Harry and Meghan in the coming weeks.
