Meghan Markleisn’t holding back.
“There was a real kind of war against Meghan, and I’ve certainly seen evidence that there was negative briefing from the palace againstHarryand Meghan to suit other people’s agendas,” Afia, a partner at Schillings Law Firm in London, said at the start of the clip. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex retained Schillings as their representation fortheir 2019 suit againsttheMail on Sunday,Lawyer Monthlyreported.

Fraser, a friend, spoke next in the new trailer, saying, “Meg became this scapegoat for the palace. And so they would feed stories on her, whether they were true or not, to avoid other less favorable stories being printed.”
“You would just see it play out,” Meghan said in an on-camera interview. “A story about someone in the family would pop for a minute, and they’d go, ‘We gotta make that go away.’ "

“But there’s real estate on a website homepage, there’s real estate there on a newspaper front cover.

“This barrage of negative articles about the breakdown of the relationship with her father was the final straw in a campaign of negative, nasty coverage about her,” Afia added as the trailer cut to black.
Meghan andPrince Harry, 38, previously alluded that the second volume of their docuseries would address what went wrong regarding their relationship with the rest of the royal family. In a trailer released Monday,Prince Harryspoke about the level of press intrusion he believes the couple suffered as working members of the royal family. He also claimed that he and Meghan were treated differently than his brother,Prince William.
“They were happy to lie to protect my brother,” Harry said, arguing that he and Meghan were the victims of “institutional gaslighting.”
“They were never willing to tell the truth to protect us,” he continued.
Meghan also addressed the impact that the decision to step back had on their personal lives — most notably a U.K. government decision toremove their 24-hour police protectionbecause they were no longer entitled to tax-payer-funded security.
“Our security was being pulled. Everyone in the world knew where we were,” she said.
