Layered over the poignant moment is a voice-over of Prince Harry, as he explains why he's taken part in the documentary: "No one sees what's going on behind closed doors," he says, as the trailer pans onto Meghan in tears.

Concluding the dramatic trailer, Meghan can be heard saying: "When the stakes are this high, does it make more sense to hear our story from us?"

From the critically-acclaimed, two-time Academy Award-nominated and Emmy-winning director Liz Garbus, the documentary will also include commentary from friends and family, most of whom have never spoken publicly before about what they witnessed.
