According to reports, the highly anticipated Prince Harry and Meghan Markle Netflix series, set to release on Thursday, is expected to be highly critical of the royal family and even the British public.
Ahead of the couple’s bombshell interview with Oprah Winfrey last year, the Duke of Sussex told a friend he expected the interview to be “quite shocking,” adding that “these Brits have a lesson to learn,” a senior source revealed on Saturday opposite The Sun .
In the interview, Harry and Markle accused the royal family of racism and said they ignored Markle’s depression, which had brought her to the brink of suicide during pregnancy.
The prince’s inflammatory comments were uncovered just days before the premiere of Harry & Meghan, which sources say will be as explosive as the Oprah interview.
Sources told Page Six that the couple will claim to have been bullied by palace officials.
“The narrative is that Harry had to be removed from his family where he felt neglected. It’s also about mental health and discussions about Harry having therapy over the loss of his mother and his father’s relationship with Camilla,” a senior source told The Sun.
Markle is expected to make fresh racism allegations against the royal family on the show, The Sun reported.

“Some of Harry and Meghan’s comments are fiery,” the source said. “When they air, they’re absolutely explosive. The issue of racism is debated – plus claims some royals were opposed to the marriage. The whole TV project is very much driven by Meghan.”
The dramatic trailer for the documentary series was released on Thursday, amid the Prince and Princess of Wales’ US visit.
Many critics have dubbed the minute-long preview, which shows clips of Markle in tears, as a “festival of sacrifice.”
According to Netflix, the docuseries “features comments from friends and family, most of whom have never before spoken publicly about what they saw.”

Harry and Markle have been traveling with the family since stepping down from royal duties and dealing with the aftermath of the Oprah interview. Prince William has reportedly had little contact with his brother since then and for a year King Charles reportedly refused to take Harry’s calls.
Charles and William attempted to reconcile with Harry but were caught off guard when he revealed their attempt in another interview with Markle’s friend Gayle King of CBS.
“Big families always go through drama, always go through turmoil,” Markle said in the Extra interview. “It remains to be seen – will they be pulled closer together or will they be pulled apart?”
