“It’s really hard to look back on it now and go, ‘What on Earth happened?'” says Harry.
The trailer shows scenes of the pair’s early days in the public, when they were treated like rockstars, and then the downsides of living in the public eye, being swarmed by paparazzi and attacked by tabloid magazines.
“There’s a hierarchy in the family,” says the Duke. “There’s leaking, but there’s also the planting of stories.”
The Sussexes’ lawyer, Jenny Afia, appears in the trailer and so does Christopher Bouzy, CEO of Bot Sentinel, a company that specializes in identifying disinformation and targeted attacks on social media.

“I realized, they’re never going to protect you,” says Meghan.
Meghan and Harry fans came out in full force to support the couple’s choice to tell their story.
Many were glad tabloids like The Daily Mail were being called out for their “disgusting racist attacks” on Meghan.
I wasn’t going to watch #HarryandMeghanonNetflix, but I am fully invested in seeing the timeline of the war against Meghan. The @DailyMailUK in particular won’t stop their disgusting racist attacks. Also, Meghan’s style is perfection. pic.twitter.com/sSseX4zjjr

The ones claiming the docuseries is “partisan” are the same ones spending 5 yrs maligning & defaming a woman they never met to fit their own agenda & racist narrative. Them 6 episodes got them scared. #HarryandMeghanonNetflix pic.twitter.com/fg37ZRzFzc

Others pointed out how Meghan has been treated compared to her royal family counterparts.
“[Every day] that the British press treats Prince Andrew better than Meghan Markle, demonstrates the misogyny & racism problems of Great Britain,” tweeted one person.
Earlier this year, Andrew was stripped of his royal title due to sexual abuse allegations against him.

Meanwhile, supporters of the royal family were not impressed.
I can get on board with #HarryandMeghanonNetflix discussing media intrusion as its right and just and happens to all the royals.
I cannot forgive them for 3 years of onslaught and mental abuse on their family. That, is domestic violence. #DomesticAbuse

Again and again, Harry and Meghan directly and indirectly have tried to push her. She remains unshaken.

One Twitter user went so far as to assume that Princess Diana wouldn’t be pleased by what Harry and Meghan are doing.
I wonder what Princess Diana would think of what Harry and Meagain are doing, I don’t think she’d be best pleased, do you

To which a Harry and Meghan supporter had a quick reply.
“Prince Harry is literally doing for Meghan what Charles DIDN’T do for Princess Diana, all of which ultimately led to her early death,” they replied. “Personally, I think Diana’s cheering H and M all the way. As she should. Your revisionism is wild.”
