The long-awaited trailer for the Netflix docuseries “Harry & Meghan”, featuring Prince Harry and his wife Meghan Markle, has finally been made public. The six-part documentary series on the Prince and Princess of Sussex focuses on the couple’s romance and their life as Royal Family members. The launch coincides with the three-day visit of Prince William and Kate Middleton to the United States.
In one of the clips, Harry’s head could be seen tilted back as Meghan wipes away her tears. “Why did you want to make this documentary?” starts the much-awaited teaser as the Royal couple faces the question. The answer to the question comes at the very end of it. “When the stakes are this high doesn’t it make more sense to hear our story from us?” says Meghan.
Directed by Liz Garbus, the series—which is yet to confirm a release date—is likely to offer an intimate portrait of the couple’s love story and life since they stepped back as working members of Britain’s royal family in early 2020 and relocated to California. The synopsis 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.”
While little else is known about the contents of the series, the minute-long trailer shows fleeting black-and-white images of the pair. Among these are holiday memories, pixelated selfies, a snap of them dancing at their wedding reception, and a photo-booth kiss.
The trailer opens with what is presumably Garbus’ voice asking the couple, “Why did you want to make this documentary?” Harry proceeds to tell her, “I had to do everything I could to protect my family,” while Meghan responds with her own question: “When the stakes are this high, doesn’t it make more sense to hear our story from us?”
The streaming service promises “a never-before-seen look at one of the most-discussed couples in history.”
While Netflix doesn’t disclose the official start date for the docuseries — a note on the trailer says it’s “coming soon” — several entertainment publications say we could see the series stream as soon as Dec. 8.
