Prince Harry, Duchess Meghan invite people into life 'behind closed doors' in Netflix doc trailer

Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan are ready to share their story.

"No one sees what's happening behind closed doors," Harry says in the opening of the first teaser trailer of their Netflix documentary "Harry & Meghan."

Photos flashed in the trailer of moments between the couple when they were senior members of the royal family and private moments including photo booth pictures and images of Meghan in tears.

"I had to do everything I could to protect my family," Harry says.

When asked why the couple chose to do a documentary, Meghan responds, "When the stakes are this high, doesn't it make more sense to hear our story from us?"

The trailer teased the documentary "coming soon," but did not reveal a release date.

Meghan previously discussed sharing the love story between herself and Harry in a revealing interview with The Cut in August.

"The piece of my life I haven’t been able to share, that people haven’t been able to see, is our love story," she said. “I hope that is the sentiment that people feel when they see any of the content or the projects that we are working on. … When the media has shaped the story around you, it’s really nice to be able to tell your own story."

Meghan's battle with the press began long before she successfully sued Mail for invading her privacy when it published parts of a letter she wrote to her estranged father Thomas.

The duchess told The Cut she and Harry concluded that if they stepped down from being taxpayer-funded royals "maybe all the noise would stop."

She also stressed that they were willing to move to any commonwealth country. "Just by existing, we were upsetting the dynamic of the hierarchy. So we go, 'OK, fine, let’s get out of here. Happy to,'" Meghan recalled.

"That, for whatever reason, is not something that we were allowed to do, even though several other members of the family do that exact thing," she said, citing other royals who have worked independently.

Harry's relationship with his father, King Charles III, also suffered during their royal exit.

"Harry said to me, ‘I lost my dad in this process.’ It doesn’t have to be the same for them as it was for me, but that’s his decision," Meghan shared.
