“It’s a dirty game,” he says.

Referring to his late mother Princess Diana, Harry says, “I was terrified. I didn’t want history to repeat itself.”

“No one knows the full truth,“Prince Harryadds. “We know the full truth.”

The project comes from Oscar-nominated director Liz Garbus, whose previous celebrity-focused features includeLove, Marilyn, What Happened, Miss Simone?andBecoming Cousteau.

According to Netflix, “the series explores the clandestine days of their early courtship and the challenges that led to them feeling forced to step back from their full-time roles in the institution.

“With commentary from friends and family, most of whom have never spoken publicly before about what they witnessed, and historians who discuss the state of the British Commonwealth today and the royal family’s relationship with the press, the series does more than illuminate one couple’s love story, it paints a picture of our world and how we treat each other.”

Meghan, 41, and Harry, 38, first signed amulti-year dealwith Netflix in September 2020. At the time,The New York Timesreported that the Sussex’s production hub, later christened Archewell Productions, would exclusively create documentaries, docuseries, feature films, scripted shows and children’s programming for the popular platform.

Meghan briefly spoke about what audiences can expect to see in the docuseries in an October interview withVariety.

“It’s nice to be able to trust someone with our story — a seasoned director whose work I’ve long admired — even if it means it may not be the way we would have told it,” theArchetypeshost said of working with Garbus. “But that’s not why we’re telling it. We’re trusting our story to someone else, and that means it will go through their lens.”

“It’s interesting. My husband has never worked in this industry before,” she continued, referencing the entertainment business. “For me, having worked onSuits, it’s so amazing to be around so much creative energy and to see how people work together and share their own points of view. That’s been really fun.”

In her AugustinterviewwithThe Cut, Meghan remained similarly vague when asked if the upcoming special would cover their love story.

“What’s so funny is I’m not trying to be cagey,” she said at the time, proceeding to praise Garbus’ acclaim. “I don’t read any press. So I don’t know what’s confirmed. I will tell you Liz Garbus is incredible.”
