More shocking revelations were revealed in the second trailer for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s upcoming Netflix docuseries, which was released on Monday. Prince Harry’s claims that there are “planting of stories” were among them.
Harry and Meghan will tell their side of the story in the in-depth series, covering everything from the beginning of their relationship to their re-entry into the royal family in 2020.
Before the documentary’s first three episodes are released on Thursday, December 8, let’s take a look at the biggest revelations from the second teaser clip.

Harry claims the palace has fabricated stories.
The Duke speaks as the video plays a picture of the royal family gathered for Trooping the Colour in 2019 on the balcony of Buckingham Palace, saying: “It’s really hard to look back on it now and go, ‘what on earth happened?'”
There is a family hierarchy, you know, there is leakage, but there is also story planting. It’s a dishonest game.
Harry mentions the “pain and suffering” experienced by royal wives.
The Duke says, “The pain and suffering of women marrying into this institution, this feeding frenzy,” as he shows footage of his late mother, Diana, Princess of Wales, being pursued by paparazzi.
He continues, “I was terrified, I didn’t want history to repeat itself,” as the teaser plays clips from some of Harry and Meghan’s first public outings as a couple.

Meghan claims the royal family failed to defend her.
The Duchess previously discussed her impressions of royal life in an interview with Oprah Winfrey that she and Harry gave in 2021.
The trailer for the Netflix documentary, which will debut on Thursday, depicts Meghan and Harry in a car while police sirens are playing in the background, looking worried.
In a voiceover, the Duchess is heard saying: “I realized, ‘They’re never going to protect you,'” apparently referring to the royal family.
In another video, Meghan can be seen wiping away tears.
Harry makes further, startling allusions.
More pictures and video of the paparazzi pursuing Kate Middleton, Prince William’s wife, and Harry’s sister-in-law, are shown in the trailer’s final moments.
No one is aware of the complete truth, he continues in a self-shot piece to the camera. We are fully aware of the truth.

Archie appears in the scene
Archie, the oldest child of the Sussexes, will appear in the Netflix documentary, according to the second trailer.
A bird’s eye view of a five-month-old Archie being carried by his mother in preparation for a meeting with the late Archbishop Desmond Tutu in Cape Town can be seen in footage from Harry and Meghan’s final royal tour of Africa in 2019.
Volume I of the docuseries will be available on Netflix on December 8 and Volume II will premiere on December 15.
