Prince Harry's bold claim comes after the Duke and Duchess of Sussex shared a glimpse of their first Netflix trailer on Thursday. The emotionally-charged video includes a montage of deeply personal snapshots including a string of never-before-seen romantic photos.

Following a montage of images, Prince Harry can then be heard saying: "No one sees what's happening behind closed doors. I had to do everything I could to protect my family." And at the very end, Meghan can be heard saying: "When the stakes are this high, doesn't it make more sense to hear our story from us?".

The couple signed their multi-year $100million deal with the hugely popular streaming service giant back in 2020.

At the time, Meghan and Harry said: "Our focus will be on creating content that informs but also gives hope. As new parents, making inspirational family programming is also important to us. [Netflix's] unprecedented reach will help us share impactful content that unlocks action."
