Details of the brutal drama within the royal family surrounding the departure of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are expected to be aired in the couple's Netflix documentary next week.
With Buckingham Palace largely spared during the first three episodes of Harry Meghan, the trailer for the final three episodes, out next Thursday, hints of an attack on the family, nicknamed The Firm by the late Diana, Princess of Wales.
In the one minute clip, Meghan says on camera: This is when family and family business are in direct conflict. Harry states that everything that happened to us was always going to happen to us. The trailer includes Meghan saying that Suddenly, what clicked in my head was, it's never going to stop. The couple has so far focused on the early days of their relationship, and directed their ire at the media, while Harry did accuse his family of unconscious racial bias and failed to protect Meghan from racially charged reporting.
The next three episodes, which will be broadcast next Thursday, are expected to cover their dramatic exit and fallout, with Buckingham Palace braced for far more damaging revelations. One royal source told the Times that poison will be created next week.
Much of the UK media coverage of the documentary has been highly critical, with some right-wing newspapers calling for the couple's titles to be removed.
Bob Seely, a Conservative MP, plans to bring forward legislation to enable this. The Isle of Wight MP suggested he could bring forward a short private member's bill in the new year that would see MPs vote on a resolution that could give the privy council the power to downgrade the couple's royal status.
He said on Friday that Harry Windsor should voluntarily relinquish his titles. If he doesn't, Parliament should act to remove them. If Harry Windsor doesn't like the monarchy, don't be part of it, but don't use your titles and trash the institution. He said that the wording of the 1917 Titles Deprivation Act, which stripped German royals of their UK titles during the First World War, could be amended to update the law and allow Parliament to remove the couple's titles.
Downing Street said it did not back the move. Asked about parliamentary efforts to strip the pair of their titles, Rishi Sunak s deputy spokesperson said: I believe you are referring to a private member s bill that we do not support. He added that anything related to the Netflix series was important for the palace.
The employment minister, Guy Opperman, told BBC s Question Time that the couple were utterly irrelevant to this country and the progress of this country and the royal family that we all support BBC journalists are among those who have questioned some of the couple's claims. Nicholas Witchell, BBC's royal correspondent, described Meghan's claim as absurd: No matter what I did, they were still going to find a way to destroy me. Witchell told News at 10: The First Point, Who is She referring to? I think it is the palace, but most particularly the press. I think the idea that anyone was out to destroy her is absurd and simply does not stand up to proper and reasonable scrutiny. Meghan s description of her engagement interview with BBC presenter Mishal Husain as an orchestrated reality show Husain said: Recollections may vary. The king and queen consort met Hollywood royalty on Friday while visiting the Wrexham football club, co-owned by actors Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney. Reynolds and McElhenney said they had not seen the documentary, and McElhenney went as far as to say: I ve never heard of it.
