Prince Harry said ‘they were happy to lie to protect my brother’ with Meghan claiming she was ‘fed to wolves’ before leaving the UK with her husband – in a trailer for the latest part of their Netflix docuseries.

Megane said “our security was pulled” and “everyone knew where we were” in the footage.

“I said, ‘we have to get out of here,'” says Prince Harryas the footage cuts to a plane taking off.

Prince Harry is next seen in a self-shot video aboard the couple’s flight to the US, saying: ‘We’re on the flight to freedom’.

Last week, the first three episodes of Meghan & Harry were made available to stream, with the couple talking about the pressure they’ve been feeling from media interest in their lives.

“I wonder what would have happened to us if we hadn’t come out when we did,” the Duke of Sussex says at the start of the 90-second clip.

He then speaks of “institutional gaslighting”, before the Duchess adds: “I was not thrown to the wolves. I was fed to the wolves.”

“They were happy to lie to protect my brother,” Harry continues, referencing Prince William, against images of Buckingham Palace and newspaper headlines including: “Queen orders hard Megxit.”

“They never wanted to tell the truth to protect us.”

It is unclear who the Duke is referring to as “they”.

On January 8, 2020, the Sussexes revealed that they intended to “step back as ‘senior’ members of the Royal Family and work towards becoming financially independent”.

They officially left the monarchy on March 31, 2020, having opted for personal and financial freedom rather than remaining working members of the royal family.

“In order for us to move on to the next chapter, you need to complete the first chapter,” Harry said.

Leaving the UK “gave us the chance to create this home that we had always wanted,” says Meghan.

“I always felt like it was a worthwhile fight,” the Duke adds.

The pair has defended the decision to give the streaming giant an intimate glimpse into their private lives – with the show including personal clips and stills from their time as senior royals.

The couple have signed lucrative deals, believed to be worth more than £100million, with Netflix and Spotify, after stepping down as senior royals following family breakdowns and struggles with royal life.

After their explosive interview with Oprah Winfrey in 2021, this docuseries, directed by Oscar-nominated Liz Garbus, was billed as a Netflix global event, with Harry and Meghan sharing “the other side of their much-publicized love story “.

However, they have been subject to criticism, with a conservative MP plans to introduce legislation that could see the couple stripped of their royal titles.
