This week saw the release of the concluding installment of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s frank Netflix docuseries, with the final three hour-long episodes heavily emphasizing the couple’s decision to leave the royal life.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex shared previously unreleased photos taken inside Frogmore Cottage in episode five, giving viewers a behind-the-scenes look at their lives. They lived in their lovenest on the late Queen’s Windsor Estate for only a few months before deciding to move to the US and resign as “senior” members of the royal family.
The couple was pictured in artistic monochrome photographs packing up their belongings in the Windsor home in preparation for their 2020 relocation to California. We were going through so many boxes, Meghan recalled, saying things like, “You bought this blanket I missed, that hat was so funny.”
The Duchess said, before sharing a collection of images from the couple’s early dating years with viewers, “It gave us a chance to look back at our whole love story.”
In one image taken inside Frogmore Cottage, Harry and Meghan were seen gazing lovingly at a family photo album that contained images of Prince Harry and Prince William’s youth arranged in a scrapbook-style.
The brothers could be seen standing on a shoreline in a rare collection of personal images of the two Princes having fun on vacation together. Another image showed a young William and Harry using binoculars to scan the coastline.
We always saw Archie running around the garden at Frogmore Cottage and possibly jumping in the Queen’s pond, Harry added in response to the touching act.
During their discussion about Harry and Meghan leaving the royal family, Prince William reportedly “screamed and shouted” at Prince Harry, which, according to Prince Harry, was “terrifying.”
‘It was terrifying to have my brother scream and shout at me, and my father say things that were simply untrue… and my grandmother sit there and quietly take it all in,” he said in the docuseries’ episode five.
