Timing is everything. Say what you will about the first trailer for Harry & Meghan – Netflix’s unprecedented new documentary produced in conjunction with the Duke and Duchess of Sussex – but it could hardly have been timed for more explosive impact.
The programme’s teaser comes just a day after the late Queen’s lady-in-waiting, Lady Susan Hussey, resigned from the palace over a racism scandal. The royal aide, who also happens to be Prince William’s godmother, apologised for making “unacceptable and deeply regrettable comments” to a Black advocate for survivors of domestic abuse. Reports claim she also served as an advisor to Meghan Markle.
