In the documentary series, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, took the opportunity to express their criticisms of Britain and the Royal Family.

The couple took the opportunity to share their personal photos and videos, including moments from their engagement and from Harry's relocation from the UK.

Prince Harry discussed his upbringing and how he felt "literally brought up" by a "second family" in Africa, where he spent months at a time in his late teens and twenties.

He also highlighted what he referred to as "unconscious bias" within the Royal Family.

Meghan Markle also claimed that she 'wasn’t really treated like a black woman’ until she had arrived in the UK.

Prince Harry also seemed to criticise the choices of wives that had been made by his male relatives, implying that his decision to marry Meghan was genuine and not based on conforming to a specific mould.

The docuseries was directed by Liz Garbus.
