Sources have said crisis talks are due to take place between The King and Prince William as they forecast major backlash over Harry and Meghan’s Netflix series release.
They will be preparing to respond to any allegations of racism or ill-treatment of Harry and Meghan as Charles and William put on a united front.
This comes as the entire family braces itself for a series of bombshells that are due to be dropped by the Duke and Duchess of Sussex when the first half of their six-part documentary is broadcast on Netflix next Thursday
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.
On Thursday, Harry and Meghan released a dramatic one-minute trailer on social media, during the Prince and Princess of Wales’s three-day visit to Boston.
Royal sources said the “churlish” decision was done to deliberately torpedo William and Kate’s US trip, which concluded last night with them hosting the Prince’s Earth shot Prize environmental awards.
Set to dramatic mood music, Prince Harry appears in the teaser saying: “No one sees what’s happening behind closed doors.
In another clip Meghan says: “When the stakes were this high, doesn’t it make more sense to hear our story from us?”
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.”
Palace insiders have nicknamed Harry and Meghan “the Kardashians” because “they want all the attention they can possibly get”.
Harry and Meghan last year took part in an interview with US chat queen Oprah Winfrey and complaind about their treatment by royal family.
They claimed a senior member of the family, made racist comments concerning the colour of their unborn children’s skin while Meghan also accused the institution of making her feel suicidal when she was pregnant.
It led to the late Queen issuing an unprecedented statement, expressing her love for Harry and Meghan, with the caveat “recollections may vary”.
