STORY: Prince Harry and his wife Meghan are piling fresh criticism on the British royal family

In new much-awaited episodes of their Netflix documentary series released on Thursday (December 15).

In one, Harry accuses his brother Prince William of screaming at him during a summit to discuss his future.

He also accuses William’s aides of ‘trading’ negative stories about the couple with the media.

He also blames the pressure of negative tabloids for Meghan’s miscarriage.

Author of ‘Diana: A Life in Dresses’ Claudia Joseph said that Harry 'slinging insults' at William could have an irreparable effect:

"I think it's going to make headlines, obviously, and it will have an impact in that sense. And it is, as I said, damaging to the brand, the firm and the institution...There are no specific instances of 'they lied here, they did this'. So it's slightly difficult for them to rebut anything because it's accusing an institution of treating Meghan differently because of her skin colour. And either people will believe that or people won't believe that."

Royal commentator Emily Andrews said that ultimately, the documentary won’t change anyone’s opinion on the Duke and Duchess of Sussex:

“If you like Harry and Meghan you're going to watch it and go 'oh my God, poor them, this is so awful'. If you hate Harry and Meghan, you're going to watch it and think 'Oh my goodness, will they just shut up? There's a cost of living crisis going on'. But I do think they come across very well and I think they come across very sympathetically.”

Both Buckingham Palace and William's office, Kensington Palace, have said they would not be commenting on the documentaries.
