And so it begins. Harry and Meghan’s tell-all documentary began streaming on Thursday, with Harry accusing the royals of having a “huge level of unconscious bias” and Meghan saying the media wanted to “destroy” her.
In the docuseries, it seems as though Prince Harry is both complaining and explaining at some length about how he feels he, and his wife, have been treated by the institution saying their story has not been heard until now. Much of what they discuss has already been put in the public domain.

What’s more, the duke also said members of his family questioned why Meghan needed more protection from the media than their wives had been given, but that they failed to grasp the “race element“.
Harry’s concern at comments made relating to Meghan Markle’s mixed-race heritage was a major element of the interview with Oprah Winfrey. And now Prince Harry returns to that theme in this series as he talks about unconscious bias, saying “the thing with unconscious bias is it’s actually no one’s fault. But once it’s been pointed out or identified within yourself, you then need to make it right.”
Much focus in Harry and Meghan is also placed on media intrusion, with Prince Harry once again saying that his greatest fear was “history repeating itself” as he talks about the death of his mother, Princess Diana.
Meanwhile, a controversy has broken out over whether the royal family and the palaces were given the right to reply to the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s Netflix show. A senior palace source insisted Buckingham Palace, Kensington Palace and members of the family were not approached for comment on content in the series.
However, a Netflix source insisted the communications offices for the King and the Prince of Wales were contacted in advance and given the chance to react to Harry and Meghan’s claims.
