“It became very clear very quickly that that goal was not up for discussion or debate,” said Harry about the approximately 90-minute meet withQueen Elizabeth, the then-Prince Charles and William at the monarch’s country estate in Norfolk to “talk things through”
“It was terrifying to have my brother scream and shout at me, and my father say things that simply weren’t true and my grandmother quietly sit there and sort of take it all in,” he added.
According toPrince Harry, the meeting “finished without any solidified action plan.”
“I think from their perspective, they had to believe that it was more about us and maybe the issues that we had,” the Duke of Sussex said.
“The saddest part of it was this wedge created between myself and my brother, so that he’s now on the institution’s side,” he continued. “Part of that I get, I understand, right, that’s his inheritance. So to some extent, it’s already ingrained in him that part of his responsibility is the survivability and continuation of this institution.”

At the start of the Netflix series, a title card states, “Members of the Royal Family declined to comment on the content within the series.” A Netflix source alsotold PEOPLEthat communications offices for King Charles andPrince Williamwere contacted in advance and given the right to reply to claims within the series.
However,a source told PEOPLEthat neither members of the family nor Buckingham Palace orPrince William’s office at Kensington Palace were approached for comment on the content of the series. A royal source added that Buckingham Palace and Kensington Palace did receive an email claiming to be from a third-party production company through an unknown organization’s email address. When they contacted Archewell and Netflix to verify the source, they received no response. The royal source also says the substance of the email did not address the entire series.
