Prince William Ready to Challenge Harry and Meghan’s Wild Claims in Upcoming Netflix Documentary
According to Palace Insiders, Prince William, the Prince of Wales, is reportedly ready to challenge the dubious claims that his brother Prince Harry and sister-in-law Meghan Markle are expected to make in their upcoming Netflix documentary.
The six-part series is set to be released on Thursday, and the Prince of Wales has allegedly instructed aides to comb through it and swiftly respond to any inaccurate claims.
The alleged change in track in dealing with the Sussexes is said to cause Prince William to abandon the royal maxim, “never complain, never explain.”
The source told the newspaper that the Prince and Princess's team will wait to see what is in the Netflix series before deciding what to do, but you can see the direction of travel.
In the past, the royal family has been slow to address controversial assertions made by Harry and Meghan.
It took two days for Buckingham Palace to respond to the pair's explosive Oprah Winfrey appearance, in which they claimed a royal made a discriminatory remark regarding baby Archie's skin colour.

Buckingham Palace issued a brief statement at the time confirming the royal family was taking the allegations seriously and would address them privately, adding, “recollections may vary.”
Meghan and Harry's upcoming Netflix documentary may criticise the royal family and even the public over the way the couple feel they've been treated.
The series is reportedly due for release on Thursday, and royal sources have already claimed they expect the show would be Oprah with more crying.
A trailer for the six-part documentary was released last week, teasing intimate moments and apparently threatening to reveal further details of the couple's difficult relationship with the family they stepped away from.
The Prince and Princess of Wales were surprised, but not that surprised, that the advertisement was released during their high-profile visit to the US, threatening to overshadow it inside, as added.
In a rare and remarkable intervention, royal sources described how King Charles and Queen Camilla are not worried but wearied by the Sussexes' stream of criticism.
An exasperated Palace source emphasised the word, “wearied.”
The Daily Mail reported, “The royal family made magnanimous and very deliberate gestures to include Prince Harry as much as possible in the late Queen's funeral in September, including asking him to wear his military uniform during a key vigil, but they are now being repaid with near-constant outbursts, it is claimed.”
Despite the timing of the trailer, a Palace source said the Prince and Princess of Wales are sanguine about the imminent documentary.
William and Catherine, who were determined that the Netflix series would not eclipse their work, attended a star-studded gala on Friday night to promote William's Earthshot Prize.
The Prince of Wales spoke with President Joe Biden for 30 minutes, during which time they exchanged warm memories of the late Queen and talked about ways Mr Biden could assist Earthshot, which awards £1 million grants to five planet-saving projects every year.
For his part, King Charles has been keen to show his support for his youngest son and daughter-in-law.
In his first address to the nation after ascending to the throne, he said, “I want to express my love for Harry and Meghan as they continue to build their lives overseas.”
Yet Harry's new media projects appear to have caused more hurt and dismay to his family than they have previously cared to admit.
Harry's book, Spare, which promises the Duke's first-hand account of his upbringing and choice to resign from royal duties, is set to be released on January 10.
Relations may become even more strained when it is published.
A Palace source said the Prince and Princess of Wales are prepared for whatever comes their way.
In conclusion, the upcoming Netflix documentary featuring Prince Harry and Meghan Markle has reportedly caused concern among the royal family.
Prince William, in particular, is said to be ready to challenge any dubious claims made by his brother and sister-in-law.
Despite this, the Prince and Princess of Wales remain sanguine about the imminent documentary and have continued with their work commitments.
The release of Harry's book next month may further strain relations between the Sussexes and the royal family.
