Netflix has dropped the first trailer for the much-awaited docu-series about the iconic couple, Harry and Meghan.
Intrigued viewers will find themselves bombarded with a plethora of candid photos of the duo, showcasing both their private and public moments.
They're quizzed in the trailer, "Why the documentary, though?", leading to a series of thoughtful reflections from the couple.
Prince Harry hints at the something unfolding behind the scenes, "Nobody sees what truly goes on." He emphasizes the necessity to protect his family and do the right thing.

The challenges and trials in the drawing room of "Harry & Meghan" and their collaboration with Netflix encompass:
- Negative Reception of "POLO" Documentary:
- The polo-focused documentary series "POLO" encountered negative reviews, being dismissed as "dull" by critics, and witnesses insufficient viewer numbers, stoking questions about the duo's commitment to Netflix and their highly-valued contract.

- Trademark Issues:
- Meghan's commercial endeavors, including American Riviera Orchard, have faced trademark predicaments. The company received a formal objection from competitor Harry & David, which claimed the name was too akin to their "Royal Riviera" product series. Subsequently, Meghan's trademark bid was denied by the US Patent and Trademark Office, warning that no company can hold exclusive rights to geographical terminologies.
