Harry and Meghan documentary LIVE updates: Netflix releases final three episodes

Harry and Meghan are now detailing the legal suit they brought against Associated News, the publisher of The Daily Mail for publishing the letter she wrote to her father.

Harry says the stress of it all caused his wife to miscarry.

“I believe my wife suffered a miscarriage because of what The Mail did,” Harry says.

“I watched the whole thing, do we absolutely know that a miscarriage was caused by that? Of course we don’t.

“Bearing in mind the stress, the lack of sleep and the timing of the pregnancy, I can say from what I saw, that miscarriage was created by what they were trying to do to her,” he said.

Harry says at Sandringham he was given five options, with number one being “all in”, and number five being “all out.”

“I chose option three, half in, half out, have our own jobs but also work in support of the Queen,” he said.

But he said it became clear this goal wasn’t one everyone shared.

“It was terrifying to have my brother scream and shout at me and my father say things that simply weren’t true and my grandmother quietly sitting there and taking it all in,” Harry says.

Bombshell alert.

Meghan says the palace wanted the media appearances by her father, Thomas Markle, to stop. She said she went to the late queen and asked for advice on how to deal with the situation.

She said her relationship with her father was working “until the media got involved”.

“Ultimately, it was suggested by the Queen, the Prince of Wales that I write my dad a letter,” Meghan said.

“I had gone to great lengths to get that letter to my dad discreetly,” she added, detailing how she sent it to her father via her business manager in Los Angeles.

She is excoriating The Daily Mail for publishing parts of that letter.

Harry says the paper published the letter because they knew the palace would encourage Harry and Meghan not to sue the paper.

Meghan says this was unfair because she wrote that letter on palace advice.

Harry says months later, they took separate legal advice, described by their lawyer as “one of their first acts in breaking away from the institution”.

The documentary features Meghan’s friend Lucy Fraser saying that other households would feed the press stories about Meghan to avoid their own critical press.

Meghan says the litigation was “the catalyst for all the unravelling.”

Episode five is now underway.

She says during her own childhood “I felt alone a lot”, so she stayed in the royal family.

But Harry says around this time it became clear the palace wasn’t going to try and protect Meghan.

“I wasn’t just being thrown to the wolves, I was being fed to the wolves,” Meghan said.

Cue intro music.

Harry says that royal households brief against each other to trade stories to the press and avoid critical press about themselves.

Harry said he and William made a pact that they would never allow their households to do this to each other.

“I would far rather get destroyed in the press, then play along with this game or this business of trading,” Harry said.

But he said that his brother reneged on the deal.

“And to see my brother’s office copy the very same thing that we promised the two of us would never ever do, that was heartbreaking,” he said.

Now the dirt starts.

Harry and Meghan say the Australian tour was the turning point because the couple were becoming too popular and outshining other members of the royal family.

Meghan and Harry recall a morning at Buckingham Palace when all the papers were all lined up and Meghan was on the front page of every one.

Meghan insisted that it was not her fault.

“I know, and my mum felt the same way,” Harry said.

The documentary then screens footage of Diana’s Panorama interview, saying she was not particularly flattered by the media coverage because it made other royals jealous.

This was the interview that Prince William has asked never be aired again because it has been revealed the journalist Martin Bashir forged documents to convince Diana into giving the interview.

It is the second time the Harry and Meghan documentary has aired clips from this interview.

Our Europe correspondent Rob Harris was also watching the documentary.

He’s filed this comprehensive wrap, saying the revelations were explosive and leave little opportunity for Harry to ever mend ties with his brother and father.

Harry says he has lost friends over his drama-filled exit from the royal family.

He says he misses the “weird family gatherings” that take place at “certain times of the year.”

“I miss the UK and I miss my friends and I’ve lost a few friends in this process as well,” he says.

He says he changed and had “outgrown” his life in the UK and says he thinks Diana would have ended up living in the United States, had she lived.

The Netflix documentary has shown the celebrity lifestyle the couple have.

From the “Beyonce texted”, “It’s Oprah,” name drops and the beautiful mansions where their interviews are recorded, the couple live a more glamorous lifestyle compared to what they have showed themselves living in the UK.

This clip of Meghan having her hair done and hand massaged is a case in point.

Harry recounts having to talk about the Oprah interview with his father at the funeral and appears to reveal he expected an apology from his father and brother.

“None of us really wanted to have to talk about it over my grandfather’s funeral, but we did,” he said.

“I’ve had to make peace with the fact that we’re probably never going to get genuine accountability, a genuine apology.

“But my wife and I, we’re moving on,” he says, as the final twenty minutes of their six-hour documentary, airing nearly three years after they quit the family, begins.
