The second part of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's bombshell Netflix docuseries has landed today - and it makes yet more explosive claims about their lives as royals and why they quit.
The final three episodes of 'Harry & Meghan', which dropped on the streaming platform early this morning, once again feature emotional reality TV-style confessionals, unseen photos and a behind-the-scenes look at the couple's private lives.
Last week in the first episodes, they talked about the royals' "unconscious bias", Meghan's emotionless first meeting with the Princess of Wales and claimed there was no protection from the media.
And this week they carry on making a string of bombshell claims that are likely to be uncomfortable viewing for King Charles and the rest of the royal family, as well as Palace staff.
These are some of the biggest bombshells from the final part of Netflix's Harry & Meghan...
Harry claims William 'screamed and shouted' at him
It really was brothers at war, as Harry claims there was a dramatic showdown with William at the now infamous 'Sandringham Summit'.
In the fifth episode of Harry & Meghan, the Duke of Sussex says he was "terrified" when his brother "screamed and shouted" at him during a meeting to discuss his royal future.
The Duke of Sussex also accused his father, King Charles, of saying things that "simply weren't true" while the late Queen "sat there and took it all in" at the emergency meeting.
Harry says he was given five options and chose the 'half in, half out' one, which meant the couple would have their own jobs but also work in support of the Queen.
"It became very clear very quickly that goal was not up for discussion or debate," he explains. "It was terrifying to have my brother scream and shout at me and my father say things that just simply weren't true. And my grandmother, you know, quietly sit there and take it all in.
"But you have to understand that, from the family's perspective, especially from hers, there are ways of doing things and her ultimate, sort of, mission, goal/responsibility is the institution."
Harry says Meghan's leaked letter to dad caused miscarriage
One of the most shocking claims comes from Harry, who says Meghan's handwritten letter to her estranged father "caused" her devastating miscarriage.
The Duchess of Sussex wrote to Thomas Markle on the Queen's advice after he posed for set up paparazzi photos and made negative comments about the royal family in the press.
However the letter was leaked and large chunks printed in the Daily Mail. Meghan successfully sued publishers of the Daily Mail, Associated Newspapers Limited (ANL), in 2021 after the Mail On Sunday published parts of the "personal and private" letter she had sent to Thomas Markle.
Discussing her loss in July 2020, Meghan told the Netflix documentary: "I was pregnant, I really wasn’t sleeping and the first morning that we woke up in our new home is when I miscarried."
Harry adds: "I believe my wife suffered a miscarriage because of what the Mail did. I watched the whole thing. Now do we actually know the miscarriage was caused by that? Of course, we don’t.
Meghan and Harry slam 'small' cottage
The couple blast the "small" cottage they were forced to live in after getting married in 2018.
The newlyweds moved into Nottingham Cottage, a house in the grounds of Kensington Palace in London, which had previously been where Prince William and Princess Kate lived with Prince George.
"As far as people were concerned we were living in a palace. [But] we were living in a cottage," says Harry. "On palace grounds."
Meghan says: "Kensington Palace sounds very regal of course, it does say palace in the name. But Nottingham Cottage was small."
Harry adds: "The whole thing was really small on a slight lean with low ceilings."
Despite knowing that his brother lived there before, Harry jokingly adds: "Whoever lived their before must have been small."
While Meghan reveals that her husband hit his head constantly "because he's so tall", adding: "It was a chapter in our lives where I don't think anyone could believe what it was actually like behind-the-scenes."
Harry then reveals that chat show legend Oprah came over for tea and was stunned by where they were living, telling them: "No one would ever believe it."
Lilibet's godfather finally confirmed and christening update?
Adorable footage of baby Lilibet is shown in episode six - and we discover her eye colour.
Harry says: "I think at the moment I see a lot of my wife in Archie and I see a lot of my mum in Lili.
"She's very Spencer-like. She's got the same blue eyes, sort of like a golden reddish hair."
And we finally discover the identity of one of Lili's godparents - American actor Tyler Perry.
Discussing the moment he was asked, he says: "I take a minute to take that in, and I thought I'd be honoured. I'd absolutely be honoured.
"And I got off the phone, took it all in, then I called them back, I go 'Ah hold on a second, does this mean we got to go over there and do all of that in the church with them and figure all that out, because I don't want to do that. Maybe we can do a little private ceremony here and let that be that and if you have to do it there then it’s OK'."
Meghan's heartbreaking suicidal thoughts
Meghan speaks about some of the darkest times in her life - when she contemplated taking her own life.
In heartbreaking scenes, she says: "I was like, 'All of this will stop if I'm not here'. And that was the scariest thing about it. It was just clear thinking."
Meghan explains how she wanted to get external help, but claims the Palace would not allow her to.
She says: "I wanted to go somewhere to get help. But I wasn't allowed to. They were concerned about how that would look for the institution."

Harry 'hates himself' for not protecting his wife
Harry admits he was "devastated" at not being able to protect his wife while she was having suicidal thoughts.
"I knew that she was struggling, we were both struggling. But I never thought it would get to that stage," he says in episode four.
"And the fact that it got to that stage I felt angry and ashamed. I didn't deal with it particularly well. I dealt with it as institutional Harry, not husband Harry.
"What took over my feelings was my royal role. I'd been trained to think what will people say if we don't go to this event, if we're late.
"And looking back on it now I hate myself for it. What she needed from me was so much more than I could give."
He also says that everyone expected Meghan to "deal with" her mental health struggles like other royals had in the past.
"They knew how bad that was," he explains. "They thought 'why couldn't she just deal with it. Everyone else has dealt with it, why can't they deal with it'.
"This was really different. If you strip all that away and say it was exactly the same, do we still believe she should have sucked it up like other members of the family? Does one think it's maybe time we stop?"
Meghan's tearful mum 'couldn't help her'
Some of the most upsetting scenes of the whole series happen in episode four - and one of the hardest moments to watch is when Meghan's mum breaks down in tears,
Doria Ragland is understandably emotional while discussing the darkest time in her daughter's life, wiping away tears while heartbreakingly admitting she "couldn't protect" her daughter.
Speaking to camera, Doria says: "I remember her telling me that, that she'd wanted to take her own life. And that really broke my heart because I knew that it was bad.
"But to constantly be picked at by these vultures. Just picking away at her spirit. That she would think of not wanting to be here."
An upset Doria then pauses for a moment, before adding: "That's not an easy one for a mum to hear, you know.
She then stops to wipe away tears with a handkerchief in emotional scenes in the Neftlix docuseries."
"And I can't protect her. H [Harry] can't protect her," adds Doria.
Harry decided to step back - not Meghan
Harry claims it was his decision to step back as a working royal - not Meghan's.
Many people have accused Meghan of wearing the trousers in the relationship, with Donald Trump claiming he was "whipped".
In the fifth episode, Harry says: "I've seen little cartoons of me on all fours and her holding a dog lead, and me wearing the dog collar. How predictable that you know the woman is to be blamed for the decision of a couple.
"In fact, it was my decision. She never asked to leave. I was the one that had to see it for myself. But it's misogyny at its best."
Meghan adds: "I mean, it took what felt like everything from me – your sense of self, your confidence.
"And the truth didn't matter, and the clickbait did."
Couple offered to give up titles
The Sussexes claim they told King Charles they would give up their royal titles if it meant they could leave the UK.
Despite claims they "blindsided" the late Queen and the rest of Harry's relatives, the couple claim they had been in regular conversations with them about the move.
In the fifth episode, Harry explains: "My father said 'Can you put it in writing?' I said I would rather not because what had happened last time. He said he couldn't do anything unless it was put in writing. I put it in emails."
The Prince goes on to say he sent repeated messages on January 1,2 and 3 detailing their thoughts.
He adds: "In one of those I said that if it didn't work out we would be willing to relinquish our Sussex titles if need be. That was the plan.
"We thought it would be good to give ourselves some breathing space, but we were also really passionate about continuing our work throughout the Commonwealth supporting the Queen
"Highlighting their keeness to move away from the 'royal rota', the set of royal reporters who travel around the world covering The Firm's engagements, Meghan said: "What I think is also important is that the pack of the royal rota is based there in London. If we are not there they can't cover what we are doing."
Harry's private call with Queen and Meghan 'block'
The Prince has shared details of a private phone call he had with the late Queen about his desire to leave the UK and step back from their royal duties.
The pair spent Christmas 2019 in Canada and had been preparing to return to the UK, with Harry claiming he had sent emails to his father outlining his and Meghan's future plans.
He says that he called his grandmother to tell her they were coming back to the UK and details their private chat.
"Before we left I spoke to my grandmother as well and told her that we were coming back on the 6th, and I would love to come and see you," he recalls.
"She knew that we were finding things hard. I’d spoken to her many times about it. She told me that she had no plans for the week. She said: 'Well, why don’t you come up?’ You can have tea, but why don’t you stay the night, you and Meghan?'"
But the couple alleges just before they were due to board a flight back to London, they were told the Queen would no longer be available to meet them.
Meghan says: "So we were flying back from Vancouver straight to Heathrow and right as we were getting on the plane, this urgent, urgent message comes through to H saying, ‘You are not allowed to go and see Her Majesty, make sure your principle is aware he cannot go and see her. She's busy, she has plans all week'.
Harry adds: "I was like, 'That’s certainly the opposite to what she had told me.’ Once we were back in the UK, I rang her and said “I’m now told that you're busy.
"She goes, 'Yes, I didn’t know I was busy. I’ve been told that I'm busy. I've been told that I'm busy all week, and I was like 'wow'."
And Meghan recalls: "I remember looking at H, I mean this when a family and a family business are in direct conflict.
"Because they are blocking you from seeing the Queen. But really what they are doing is blocking a grandson from seeing his grandmother."
Harry says Palace leaked his plans
Harry claims he had discussed proposals to move to New Zealand, south Africa and Canada for months before they announced their plans.
He says a letter he wrote to his father about the Canada move was leaked to the press.
In the fifth episode of the Netflix series, he says: "It became clear that the institution had leaked the fact that we were moving back to Canada.
"And a key piece of that story that made me aware that the contents of the letter between me and my father had been leaked was that we were willing to relinquish our titles.
"That was a giveaway. I was like 'Wow, our story, our lives, literally got taken from underneath us'."
Meghan later adds: "You could feel the ticking clock from that point. So with our team we decided that we were going to put out a statement to say that we were going to, sadly, be stepping back, not stepping down, but to just have a reduced role."
Harry wants 'genuine apology' from royals
Harry opens up on private chats that were had during his grandfather's funeral.
Speaking about the Duke of Edinburgh in the sixth episode, he says: "I was actually really happy for my grandfather. He went quietly. He went peacefully. He went happily."
Asked about what it was like returning to the UK for the funeral, Harry says: "It was hard, especially spending time having chats with my brother and my father who just were very much focussed on the same misinterpretation of the whole situation.
"So none of us really wanted to have to talk about it at my grandfather’s funeral, but we did.
"I’ve had to make peace with the fact that I’m probably never going to get genuine accountability or a genuine apology.
"You know, my wife and I, we’re moving on. We were focussed on what’s coming next."
Royals were 'cold' to Harry
Harry says his relationship with his family during his final engagement as a working royal "felt cold".
In the fifth episode, Meghan says that the first time they saw the rest of the royal family during their farewell tour was at their final engagement – a Commonwealth Day service at Westminster Abbey in London.
"The first time that we saw the other members of the family was in public at Westminster Abbey," she explains.
Harry says they were nervous, adding: "We were nervous about seeing the family because of all the TV cameras, and everybody watching at home, and everybody watching in the audience… And it’s like living through a soap opera, where everybody else uses you as entertainment."
He admits he felt distant from the rest of his family during the event.
Harry adds: "I felt very distant from the rest of my family, which was interesting, because so much of how they operate is about what it looks like rather than what it feels like. And it looked cold, but it also felt cold."
Meghan's private texts with Beyoncé
Meghan reveals Beyoncé Knowles messaged her to see if she was OK following her bombshell Oprah interview
As the couple watch back the interview together from the comfort of their own home, Meghan notices a text from the Single Ladies singer.
"Beyoncé just text," Meghan gasps, as Harry turns to look down the camera in shock and raises his hands in surprise, the replies: "Shut up. Just checking in?"
"Just checking in. I still can't believe she knows who I am," Meghan adds before reading out the heartfelt message.
Beyonce wrote that the Duchess of Sussex was "selected to break generational curses" and to feel safe and protected.
Meghan continues: "She admires and respects my bravery and vulnerability. And she thinks I was selected to break generational curses that need to be healed."
