Meghan and Harry steal the spotlight this week with Netflix releasing the teaser trailer for their documentary.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the documentary that promises to be more explosive than their bombshell tell-all interview with Oprah last March, Meghan and Harry reveal the truth regarding their step down from full-time royal duties.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The teaser trailer features never seen before images of the Sussexes and one gloomy image of the Prince and Princess of Wales during a public event. In the trailer, Meghan says ‘when the stakes are this high, doesn\u2019t it make more sense to hear the story from us?’ <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Sussexes moved to California in 2020 and now have two children<\/a>, Archie and Lilibet who are sixth and seventh in the line for the British throne, respectively. Even though Harry stepped down as a working royal, he is still fifth in line.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

They have signed a deal<\/a> with Netflix that requires them to produce films and services for the American streaming service.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is no sure date for the release of the documentary but Reuters<\/a> and other media outlets report it might be released on the 8th<\/sup> of December. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is expected that the documentary will give even more insight into those issues that made the couple leave Britain entirely, endangering the British Royals\u2019 reputation.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are speculations the teaser dropped yesterday because William and Kate are embarking on their first journey<\/a> in the USA\u00a0since\u00a0Queen Elizabeth’s passing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, their visit has been overshadowed by another royal scandal.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lady Susan Hussey, Prince William\u2019s godmother and a lady in waiting for the late Queen has been accused<\/a> of racist remarks to Ngozi Fulani. Fulani is a founder of the Sistah Space charity which aids women of African and Caribbean backgrounds who have experienced domestic and sexual abuse. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The incident happened at an event hosted by the Queen Consort, Camilla. British-born Ngozi Fulani was repeatedly asked ‘where she was from\u2019. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Buckingham Palace issued an apology to the charity founder and Lady Hussey has already stepped down from her role in the Palace.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But the damage has already been done, as the focus is no longer on William and Kate.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As per usual, fans and haters are divided and social media is full of opinions. Piers Morgan, a fierce critic of Meghan Markle, has expressed his disapproval of the documentary in an article in the Sun.<\/a>  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, fans of the famous couple express their support on Twitter.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The next two months are going to be turbulent for the Royal Family, with the documentary coming up and Prince Harry’s memoir, called Spare<\/em>, set to be published in January 2023.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n
