The father of two said, "It's really hard to look back on it now and go, 'What on earth happened?' There's a hierarchy of the family." "You know, there's leaking, but there's also planting of stories." He continued, "It's a dirty game."

Further in the trailer, a clip of Princess Diana and Kate Middleton closely followed by photographers was shown. In a voiceover for the scene, Harry said, "The pain and suffering of women marrying into this institution — this feeding frenzy."

Netflix revealed that the forthcoming series would delve into the "clandestine days of their early courtship and the challenges that led to them feeling forced to step back from their full-time roles in the institution."

There would also be input from historians that will shed light on the relationship of the royal family with the press and the current state of the British Commonwealth.

"The series does more than illuminate one couple's love story; it paints a picture of our world and how we treat each other," it added.

During an interview with Variety in October, Meghan talked about the Netflix series and how she felt about Garbus' input. "It's nice to be able to trust someone with our story — a seasoned director whose work I've long admired — even if it means it may not be the way we would have told it," she said.

The Duchess of Sussex added, "But that's not why we're telling it. We're trusting our story to someone else, and that means it will go through their lens." Markle went on to note her husband's inexperience, her experience in the entertainment industry, and how "amazing" she felt being around so many creators.

The mother of two gave a similarly vague answer when talking about the docuseries in an earlier interview with The Cutexplaining that she had no intention of being "cagey." According to Markle, she stayed away from the press and, as a result, did not know what part of the series was confirmed.
