Prince Harry slams his own family for 'planting stories' and playing 'dirty game'

Prince Harry has slammed his own family in a remarkable outburst in the brand new trailer for his Netflix docuseries.

The Duke of Sussex is seen holding his head in his hands in one clip, while wife Meghan Markle is seen wiping away tears in another shocking scene.

The explosive new trailer confirmed that the first volume of episodes will drop this Thursday (December 8), with the next instalments coming a week later on December 15.

One of the most sensational parts of the promo clip sees Harry blasting his loved ones, insisting that the Royal Family was not only responsible for "leaking" stories but also "planting" them.

"There's a hierarchy of the family. You know, there's leaking but there's also planting of stories," states Harry in the new promo.

A clip of the Royal Family standing on the Buckingham Palace balcony is then shown, before photos of dozens of paparazzi taking snaps.

Meghan's lawyer Jenny Afia then says: "There was a war against Meghan to suit other people's agendas."

One unseen pundit then exclaims the couple's experience is "about hatred and race" while a clip of Harry holding his hands up to his face is seen.

He later adds: "It's a dirty game."

Then comes footage of female members of the Royal Family being photographed by the press, including Kate Middleton and Princess Diana.

"The pain and suffering of women marrying into this institution this feeding frenzy," says Harry, who then states: "I was terrified, I did not want history to repeat itself."

The trailer then ends with Harry exclaiming: "No one knows the full truth. We know the full truth."

Elsewhere, Meghan is seen heavily pregnant in one clip, then wiping away tears in another while claiming she realised she "wasn't going to be protected".

It's certainly not the first time that Harry has turned on his family, who have been warned to brace themselves for their worst nightmare.

One source in contact with a Netflix production insider said: "I genuinely think it’s going to be worse than the royals can imagine."

Harry and Meghan's explosive interview with Oprah Winfrey saw them level allegations of racism against the Royal Family and claim that it had ignored Meghan's cries for help when she was suicidal.

The Duke of Sussex claimed his "life was a nightmare" and accused the Royal Family of 'total neglect' as he opened up about his mental health struggles.

Referring to his attempts to get help from his family with the attacks levelled at the Sussexes online, Harry said: "Every single ask, request, warning, whatever it is, to stop just got met with total silence or total neglect."

"We spent four years trying to make it work. We did everything that we possibly could to stay there and carry on doing the role and doing the job."

Harry said he went into "fight or flight mode" and told how he was "all over the place mentally" and he said from the age of 28 to 32 was a "nightmare time in my life."

"Towards my late 20s I was starting to ask questions of 'Should I really be here?'. And that was when I suddenly started going: 'You can't keep hiding from this," Harry explained to the presenter in the opening episode of the five-part series.

"Family members have said 'Just play the game and your life will be easier. But I've got a hell of a lot of my mum in me.

"I feel as though I'm outside of the system but I'm still stuck there," he revealed. "The only way to free yourself and break out is to tell the truth."

Royal sources say King Charles and Prince William will hold crisis talks to respond to any allegations of racism or ill-treatment of Harry and Meghan in their TV series.

Senior aides to the monarch and Prince and Princess of Wales plan to watch the three episodes in order to react swiftly to any further damaging accusations against the monarchy.

A senior royal source said: "There is a completely united front from the King and his family concerning the numerous attempts to privately make peace with the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, which sadly have once again resulted in the other side wishing to air their repeated grievances to the world.

"If there is a need to respond to anything in the upcoming series then you can be assured that response will be swift and robust."
