From ‘royal rock star’ to ‘war’

It’s shaping up to be a royal smackdown.

A brand new trailer was released Monday for the forthcoming Prince Harry and Meghan Markle Netflix docuseries and it’s chock full of family drama.

The “Harry & Meghan” trailer features the former royals saying several stories about Markle, 41, were “planted.”

“There’s a hierarchy of the family,” said Prince Harry, 38, in the video. “You know, there’s leaking, but there’s also planting of stories.”

“There was a war against Meghan to suit other people’s agendas,” adds a journalist.

“It’s about hatred, it’s about race,” another voice comments.

Back in 2020, the duo decided to leave the British royal family after announcing that they were “stepping back as ‘senior’ members.”

“The pain and suffering of women marrying into this institution, this feeding frenzy,” continued Harry in the latest trailer.

“I was terrified. I didn’t want history to repeat itself,” he added, alluding to his late mother Princess Diana’s constant struggle with members of the paparazzi.

In several clips of the trailer, the Duchess of Sussex can be seen heavily pregnant with the couple’s second child Lilibet Diana Mountbatten-Windsor who was born in June 2021.

The first batch of the six-episode series directed by Liz Garbus is set to be released Thursday, December 8 on Netflix while part two will be released on December 15.

Netflix said the docuseries “paints a picture of our world and how we treat each other.”

“In an unprecedented and in-depth documentary series, The Duke and Duchess of Sussex share the other side of their high-profile love story,” a description for the series reads. “Across six episodes, the series explores 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. With commentary from friends and family, most of whom have never spoken publicly before about what they witnessed, and historians who discuss the state of the British Commonwealth today and the royal family’s relationship with the press, the series does more than illuminate one couple’s love story, it paints a picture of our world and how we treat each other. From the critically-acclaimed, two-time Academy Award-nominated and Emmy-winning director Liz Garbus, ‘Harry & Meghan’ is a never-before-seen look at one of the most-discussed couples in history.”
