At one point in the trailer, Harry went as far as to call the whole thing a "dirty game." Harry shared, "There's a hierarchy of the family. You know there's leaking, but there's also planting of stories." For Harry, he saw the media's scrutiny of his wife as a repeat of the past –- particularly with his mother, the late Princess Diana. Meghan realized the institution was "never going to protect" her, so they chose to leave their royal duties behind. Harry ended on an ominous note by saying, "No one knows the full truth. We know the full truth."

They continued, "While he's putting on a brave face, behind closed doors he's concerned that the docuseries will cause irreparable damage to the Monarchy." King Charles and Prince Harry are said to have grown distant since Harry's departure from the royal family, per Insider.
Prince William and Kate Middleton are also said to be "flummoxed" by the trailer, per Us Weekly. An insider told the outlet, "It's put a huge amount of strain on relationships that are already hanging by a thread." The source didn't specify which relationships, but the series is bound to cause tension among the entire royal family. Still, Harry in particular is "adamant about getting their story out there."
