New trailer of Prince Harry's docu-series drops, features his late mother Princess Diana

Prince Harry is being transparent about the reasons he wants to defend Meghan Markle.

Monday morning saw the release of a new teaser for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex's Netflix series, in which Harry claims he was "terrified" by the volume of media coverage that Meghan received.

"I didn't want history to repeat itself," Harry said as a clip showed cameras flashing — both on Meghan and Harry as well as his mother, Princess Diana.

This viewpoint is similar to one Prince Harry expressed in the AppleTV+ documentary series The Me You Can't See: "My biggest regret is not making more of a stance earlier on in my relationship with my wife and calling out the racism when I did."

"History was repeating itself. My mother was chased to her death while she was in a relationship with someone that wasn't white, and now look what's happened. You want to talk about history repeating itself — they're not going to stop until [Meghan] dies. It's incredibly triggering to potentially lose another woman in my life, but the list is growing. And it all comes back to the same people, the same business model, the same industry."

Prince Harry, 38, said earlier in the Netflix show trailer, "You know, there's leaking, but there's also planting of stories," later calling it a "dirty game."

In a voiceover, he also said, "The pain and suffering of women marrying into this institution — this feeding frenzy," as Princess Diana and Kate Middleton are followed by photographers.

Meghan, 41, added, "I realized, they're never going to protect you."

Prince Harry closes the trailer by stating, "No one knows the full truth. We know the full truth."

On Thursday, December 8, Netflix will release Volume One of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex's six-episode docuseries, Harry & Meghan. The second volume will debut on December 15.
