Everything from Harry and Meghan Netflix Vol II as explosive Royal Family claims aired to the world
Harry and Meghan have told their story to the world as the final three episodes of their Netflix documentary aired today.
Meghan said she knew when she got to the castle to get married there would be ‘tonnes of people’ but she didn’t realise that they would be lining both sides of the street for the 15-minute drive there. Her and her mother Doria couldn’t believe it. Footage showed King Charles walking Meghan down the aisle. Harry says when we saw her walking down he thought: “Look at me, look what I got…look what I found. The world was watching us, but when we were at the altar as far as I was concerned it was just the two of us.”
Survivors were living in hotels and given vouchers for fast food to live off. Munira Mahmud, Grenfell survivor, decided to use the mosque's kitchen so people could cook and have a few hours of normality together. Munira was surprised when Meghan asked if she could help. Meghan’s mum Doria says it ‘broke her heart’ when Meghan told her she had wanted to ‘take her own life’. She continues: “I knew that it was bad, but to just constantly be picked at by these vultures. Just picking away at her spirit, that she would actually think of not wanting to be here. That’s not an easy one for a mom to hear, you know.” She wipes away tears and sniffs, adding: “And I can’t protect her. H can’t protect her.
Meghan felt pressure around having the royal baby photo on the hospital steps Meghan says there was pressure of having the traditional Royal picture of Archie on the steps outside St Mary’s Hospital. She says she had been really worried about going into that labour because she was a bit older and didn’t know if she’d have to have a C-section.
A royal documentary greenlit by the palace had been commissioned while the couple were in Africa. Meghan thought it would’ve been a glossy version of a happy tour. Harry says no one in the family speaks that openly and no one had done apart from one person - his mum. Harry says the fallout from the media coverage after Meghan had been so open was ‘bonkers’. He says the front pages were different to the general public’s reaction and that when they expected support from the people closest to them, they got the opposite.
Meghan reveals that she reached out to the Queen for advice. “It was suggested by the Queen, Prince of Wales, that I write my dad a letter", she says in the documentary. The letter was sent and soon appeared in newspaper articles. The Mail on Sunday claimed to publish the 'full' letter, Meghan says, but huge parts had been redacted. Meghan said it took out "every single thing about how the media manipulated you [Thomas Markle]".
The duchess' friend Lucy Fraser adds: “Meg became this scapegoat for the palace, so they would feed stories on her whether they were true or not to avoid other less favourable stories being printed.” Harry says Charles asked him to put his plans in writing, which Harry was reluctant to do after a previous document about a potential move to South Africa was leaked, scuppering the plans. Harry did as his dad asked, telling the documentary that he sent emails on January 1 ,2 and 3. In one of them, he says he mentioned that if the plan didn't work out the couple ‘would be willing to relinquish the Sussex tiles if need be’.
The couple were told "she has plans all week" but Harry says "that's the opposite of what she told me". Harry says he rang the Queen again and she told him that she had now been told that she was busy. At the meeting, Harry says he was given three options - ranging from one being 'all in' to five being 'all out'. He says he chose the third option - 'half in half out'.
Harry says he rang Meghan to tell her and she burst into tears “because in four hours they were happy to lie to protect my brother and yet for three years they were never willing to tell the truth to protect us”. Meghan added: “Suddenly it clicked in my head, it’s never going to stop, every rumour, every negative thing, every lie, everything I knew wasn’t true was being allowed to fester.”
Meghan said she decided to wear colourful outfits for her final engagement after spending previous years trying to "blend in" with more neutral tones. “I thought well let's just look like a rainbow," she says, adding that she was surprised to find people she spoke to were "sad" the couple were leaving.
“People just did not understand why we left,” Meghan adds in the episode. Just before the interview, in March 2021, news footage is played of allegations Meghan bullied Royal staff, prompting Buckingham Palace to open an investigation. “I thought me being very open about the depression I experienced, and how extreme that became, would be the biggest takeaway. It was entirely eclipsed by the conversation surrounding race.”
“I was actually really happy for my grandfather,” Harry says. “He went quietly, he went peacefully, he went happily.”
