Harry and Meghan Documentary Sparks Royal Family Crisis Talks
The explosive trailer for the highly anticipated Netflix documentary, Harry and Meghan, has caused a stir in the royal household, with plans for crisis talks being put in place.
The Duke of Cambridge, Prince William, is reportedly rushing back to meet King Charles, as the royal family prepares a swift and robust response to any potential allegations of racism put forward in the new documentary.
Senior aides have confirmed that King Charles and Prince William plan to watch the three episodes of the documentary, so they can react as quickly as possible against any allegations towards the monarchy.
At present, William and Catherine are on a visit to the US, but with the release of the teaser, William will have to cut the trip short in order to attend an urgent meeting with Charles.
It is expected to be a tense and brutal battle.
Harry and Meghan have made their comeback after a silent period.

It is predicted that their plan is to wage a long and drawn-out war.
The long-awaited £88 million show is set to hit screens on December 8, and the preview clips were released just hours after Princess Kate and Prince William arrived in the US.
A 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 has 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 the response will be swift and robust.”
The couple's decision to release the trailer as soon as William and Kate arrived in the US was seen as churlish and a deliberate move to detract from them hosting the Prince's Earthshot Prize environmental awards.
A senior source said, “This trip was to pay tribute to the people of Boston for their generous hospitality and celebrate them alongside the Earthshot Prize finalists for making such great strides in the race against climate change.
Arguably next week some attentions may have a different focus.”
Palace insiders have reportedly nicknamed the Duke and Duchess of Sussex the Kardashians because they want all the attention they can possibly get.
The 59-second teaser was posted to Twitter by Netflix, and viewers rushed to the comments with their thoughts.
However, the release was met with rejection from many fans who feel the show is poorly timed just months after the death of the Queen.
One person responded, “Something to miss, I think I have paint to watch dry it will have more integrity.”
Another commented, “You guys left, move on with your lives already and stop hurting Harry's family.
I think I am going to cancel my membership,” while another said they felt the show is exploiting the death of Her Majesty and slated it as a lack of credibility and class.
It comes as the Royal Household was forced to face allegations of racism this week as aide Lady Susan Hussey was accused of asking a black guest at Buckingham Palace, “Where are you really from?”
The friend of the late Queen has resigned after questioning Ngozi Fulani's nationality.
She said the experience left her insulted.
Buckingham Palace has confirmed the staffer involved had stepped aside after an investigation.
Prince William said earlier this week, “Racism has no place in our society,” and aides said the couple remained completely focused on putting their energies into the job at hand.
The documentary's release has sparked concerns within the royal household, with the King and Prince of Wales set to present a united front against any potential allegations of racism put forward in Harry and Meghan.
