In a new trailer for part two of Harry & Meghan, the Duke of Sussex has claimed that people were “happy to lie” to protect his brother, the Prince of Wales.
The first part of the docuseries was released on Netflix last week (December 8) and the second and final part is to become available to watch this week.
Volume II is set to explore the couple’s decision to step away from royal duties and make a life in America.

In the 90-second clip, Harry is heard saying: “I wonder what would’ve happened to us had we not got out when we did.”
Meghan adds: “Our security was being pulled. Everyone in the world knew where we were.”
The duke also can be heard saying: “I said, ‘We need to get out of here’.”
Images of a man with his face blurred, a plane flying, Harry filming a video on his phone and newspapers being made also appear on screen.
Meghan and Harry also address their relationship with the Prince and Princess of Wales and the rift that has opened since their move to the US.
The duchess tells the camera: “I wasn’t being thrown to the wolves, I was being fed to the wolves.”
While an image of Buckingham Palace is shown, Harry adds: “They were happy to lie to protect my brother (William).
“They were never willing to tell the truth to protect us.”
It is unclear who the duke is referring to as “they”.
Clips of Harry & Meghan’s wedding can also be seen in the trailer along with news footage and newspaper headlines about the pair.
Meghan says: “It gave us a chance to create that home we always wanted.”
Harry adds: “I’ve always felt as though this was a fight worth fighting for,” as photographs and video footage of him and his family are shown.
The clip has been released following the first three episodes that aired on Thursday, December 8 at 8am.
These episodes addressed the couple’s tumultuous relationship with the press, with the Duchess of Sussex accusing the media of wanting to “destroy” her.
The couple has been criticised over the series for apparently attacking British institutions as they discussed their experiences, including racism.
The final three episodes will be released on Netflix on Thursday, December 15.
