The final three episodes of the documentary series are to be released on Thursday and will cover the couple’s decision to step away from royal duties.
In the trailer, Harry says: “They were happy to lie to protect my brother,” while Meghan adds: “I wasn’t being thrown to the wolves, I was being fed to the wolves.”
In the first half of the documentary series, the couple revealed they met on Instagram, and Meghan said paparazzi paid someone to put a livestream camera in her back garden once news she was dating Prince Harry broke.
“My neighbours texted me saying, ‘They’re knocking on everyone’s doors, they’re trying to find you,’” she said.
“They had paid certain neighbours to put a livestream camera into my backyard.”
She also revealed her surprise at the level of formality in the royal family behind closed doors, saying initially she thought Harry was joking about curtsying to the Queen.
“I started to understand very quickly that the formality on the outside carried through on the inside,” she said.
