After years of others attempting to tell their story for them, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are finally setting the record straight in their new docuseries, “Harry & Meghan,” which premiered its first three episodes on Netflix on Dec. 8.
Last week, two short trailers teased what would be revealed in the highly anticipated doc, including beautiful behind-the-scenes photos giving insight into the Sussexes’ courtship, personal video diaries of Harry and Meghan, as well as never-before-seen interviews. Liz Garbus, who directs the docuseries, at one point asks Harry, “Why did you want to make this documentary?” He responds, “No one knows what’s happening behind closed doors. I had to do everything I could to protect my family.”
In the first three episodes that premiered on Dec. 8 (the back half of the season premieres on Dec. 15), the Sussexes do just that. Harry and Meghan reveal intimate details about their childhoods, their love story’s beginnings, and how the fairy tale of their secret courtship was eventually rocked when their relationship was thrust into the public eye and they were forced to continue their love story amid a barrage of racist media coverage.
