“Harry & Meghan”: Netflix announces the start date of the documentary – and pours new oil on the fire

These 60 seconds have it all: Netflix has released a second trailer for the upcoming documentary “Harry & Meghan”. The pictures leave little doubt that the Sussexes are on a confrontational course with the palace.

“Nobody sees what happens behind closed doors”: The streaming provider has aroused great interest with the first trailer for the upcoming Netflix documentary “Harry & Meghan” launched last week. The 60-second clip was viewed more than 4.5 million times in the first five days. At the same time, the content was discussed controversially: the British tabloids in particular took the publication as a declaration of war on the royal family. The timing in particular was criticized: heir to the throne Prince William and his wife Kate were currently on a trip to the USA. And the pretty PR headlines were suddenly overshadowed by speculation about what was going on behind the palace doors.

Now Netflix has pushed a second trailer behind it. It can already be said that this will do little to calm the overheated debate. At the beginning, Prince Charles’ youngest son sits in the car and reasoned: It was hard to look back and realize what really happened. Then follows the story of Meghan and Harry and their rise and fall in the favor of public opinion in fast motion.

Harry and Meghan blame the royal family

First hyped by the media – images can be seen of euphoric crowds cheering on the couple, particularly at Meghan’s feet. And then the steep fall. For that, the brief compilation leaves no doubt that the Sussexes blame the royal family. Stories have been leaked. There is even talk of a “war against Meghan”. It’s about hatred and racism, says one commentator. Harry himself speaks of a “dirty game”.

And then comes the obligatory Diana comparison: to pictures of the princess who died in 1997, her youngest son speaks about the “pain and suffering of women who marry into the institution”. I mean the crown. He didn’t want history to repeat itself, says Harry. What he then says sounds like a threat: “No one knows the full truth. We know the full truth.”

Then the 60 seconds are already over. That’s all it takes to fuel maximum interest. Now only one piece of information is missing that Netflix has kept secret so far: the start date. The documentary will air on two Thursdays: December 8th and December 15th. Maximum interest should be guaranteed.
