The first three episodes of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s docuseries, Harry & Meghan, joined Netflix this morning.
According to the streaming giant, the six-part series will share “the other side” of the Duke and Duchess’s love story and the challenges they faced.
In the first episode, Prince Harry says: “My job is to keep my family safe. By the nature of being born into this position and with everything else that comes with it and the level of hate that is being stirred up in the last three years especially against my wife, and my son, I’m generally concerned for the safety of my family.”
Appearing emotional, Meghan says: “I just really want to get to the other side of all of this… I don’t know what to say anymore.”
Harry then says: “This is about duty and service and I feel as though being part of this family, it is my duty to uncover this exploitation and bribery that happens within our media.”
Meghan adds: “Unfortunately, in us standing for something, they are destroying us.”
Harry continues: “This isn’t just about our story. This has always been so much bigger than us.”
“No one knows the full truth. We know the full truth. The institution knows the full truth. And the media know the full truth because they’ve been in on it.”
“And I think anybody else in my situation would have done exactly the same thing.”
Later in the episode, Harry discusses the harassment his late mother Princess Diana faced.
He says: “Back in my mum’s day it was physical harassment, cameras in your face, following you, chasing you. Paparazzi still harass people but the harassment really exists more online now.”
“To see another woman in my life go through this feeding frenzy.. That’s hard. It is really the hunter vs the prey.”
Speaking in episode two of Harry & Meghan, Harry says: “The direction from the Palace was don’t say anything.”
“But what people need to understand is, as far as a lot of the family were concerned, everything that she was being put through, they had been put through as well. So it was almost like a rite of passage.
“Some of the members of the family were like ‘my wife had to go through that, so why should your girlfriend be treated any differently? Why should you get special treatment? Why should she be protected?’ I said ‘the difference here is the race element’.”
Volume I of Harry & Meghan is available to stream on Netflix now, and Volume II will join the streaming giant on December 15.
