It begins with the interviewer asking why they chose to be part of the documentary. Harry replies, "I had to do everything I could to protect my family." An emotionally distressed Harry adds, "No one's seen what's happened behind closed doors."
Candid photos of Harry and Meghan vacationing and just chilling together flash on the screen.
Harry and Meghan were last seen with the royal family in the UK when they paid tribute to the late queen Elizabeth II after her death on September 8, 2022.
The docu-series is directed by Liz Garbus also gives an intimate look at the couple in good times and bad. At times they are shown in their moments of emotional distress.
Their side of the story
Meghan chips in, "When the stakes are this high, doesn't it make more sense to hear our story from us?"
Harry, who is fifth in the line of succession to the British throne, has earlier spoken about his decision to step away from the limelight and away from the royal family including his father, King Charles III, and brother William, and others. The British public too is divided on couple’s decision. The docu-series is one more attempt at the two trying to explain their actions.
The release date for the documentary has not yet been revealed but it will be soon, said sources.
Harry's upcoming memoir, titled Spare, is due to release in January 10, 2023. The tell-all book, published by Penguin Random House, is said to be the younger royal's story in his own words.
