The first official teaser for Harry and Meghan's behind-the-scenes Netflix documentary series has been released - and Piers Morgan has branded the couple "repulsive hypocrites".
The trailer, which features never before seen private photographs of the couple, was released on the second day of the Prince and Princess of Wales's high-profile trip to the US. In one section of the footage, Meghan appears to be wiping away tears with both hands as they stream down her face, while Harry sits and tilts his head right back, seemingly in distress.
The couple are heard being asked: "Why did you want to make this documentary?" Harry says "No one sees what's happening behind closed doors... I had to do everything I could to protect my family", while Meghan says, "When the stakes were this high, doesn't it make more sense to hear our story from us?"

Images of William and Kate with Harry and Meghan at the Commonwealth Day service in 2019 - the year before the Sussexes final public royal engagement at the same event - feature among the photographs. Also, there are happy snapshots of the Sussexes kissing while Meghan sits on a kitchen island, as newlyweds dancing with joy at their evening wedding do, cuddling in a photobooth and Meghan cradling her bump while pregnant.
But the duchess is also pictured with her hand over her face as she sits cross legged on a chair holding a phone, though it is not clear in this image whether she is crying. Billed as a Netflix Global Event, the streaming giant promised an "unprecedented and in-depth documentary series" over six episodes where Harry and Meghan "share the other side of their high-profile love story".
After the trailer was released, Piers Morgan hit out at Harry and Meghan. The former Good Morning Britain host took to Twitter to share his thoughts and said: "Imagine bleating about privacy then doing a kiss-and-tell reality series about your private lives?
"Then imagine preaching compassion as you trash your family again? Then imagine releasing 1st trailer deliberately to ruin your brother’s big trip to America? Repulsive hypocrites."
However, some didn't agree with his views, reports The Mirror. One defended the couple by writing: "It’s not really that difficult to understand, privacy isn’t about people have zero knowledge of your life & living up in the mountains as a hermit. Privacy is YOU having control over what people can know about YOUR life and living your life accordingly."
Another added: "Imagine being as bothered about this couple as you are." While a third said: "Imagine not mentioning it every time they do something. You give them more publicity but say you dnt care. Just ignore and they would dissappear if noone was interested". [sic]
The documentary series was described as coming soon but it is reported to be airing on December 8. Netflix said the show "explores the clandestine days of their early courtship and the challenges that led to them feeling forced to step back from their full-time roles in the institution".
It features commentary from friends and family, most of whom have never spoken publicly before about what they witnessed according to Netflix, and historians who discuss the state of the British Commonwealth today and the royal family's relationship with the press. It adds: "The series does more than illuminate one couple's love story, it paints a picture of our world and how we treat each other."
