This evening the final three episodes of the Harry & Meghan docuseries will be released on streaming platform Netflix.

The six-part series was marketed as an intimate retelling of Harry and Meghan’s early courtship, but as we saw in the first three episodes that were released last week, the docuseries will explore a darker side to royalty.

Now with a new trailer for ‘volume two’ of the docuseries that sees Duchess Meghan directly accuse the Royal family of ‘planting’ negative stories about her to the British press, it can be expected that the Royal family will face a wrath of unflattering allegations in the tail end of the docu-series.

The one-minute-long clip features friend of Meghan, Lucy Hall, along with Jenny Afia, the Duchesses’ legal representative from Schillings Law Firm in London, and Meghan herself.

Friend Lucy Fraser, who also appeared in volume one of the docuseries, claimed that a ‘war’ had been waged against the former Suits actress who allegedly became a ‘scapegoat for the palace’.

‘They would feed stories on her whether they were true or not to avoid other less favourable stories being printed,’ she said in the new trailer.

Meghan backs this up by saying: ‘You would see it play out.

‘A story about someone in the family would pop up for a minute, and they’d go, “We gotta make that go away.”

Meghan claims that articles like these were ‘planted’ to divert from negative stories about other royal family members.

Lawyer Jenny Afia added that a ‘barrage of negative articles’ about the relationship with her father breaking down ‘was the final straw in a campaign of negative, nasty coverage about her’.

The implication that the British monarchy not only allowed but piloted the anti-Meghan media commentary comes after the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have ‘outed’ the royal family for racism.

In the first three episodes of Harry & Meghan, the polarising couple made the sensational claims of racism, saying the monarchy just “didn’t care”.

The couple have made some strong allegations about the treatment they recieved from the royal family.

This trailer is the latest in a number of teasers that Netflix have released to promote the series. In one earlier this week, Prince Harry made a bombshell allegation, saying ‘they were happy to lie to protect my brother, but never willing to tell the truth to protect us’.

Buckingham palace are yet to make any official comment on the docuseries, but their hand may be forced as the final three episodes are such to pack a punch.
