Prince Harry claims his wife was 'doing the job better' than 'those born to do it'
The Duke of Sussex has described how “terrifying” it was to have his brother, the Prince of Wales, shout and scream at him at the Sandringham summit in front of the Queen during the Megxit crisis.
Harry reflected on the encounter in the final volume of the Sussexes' controversial Netflix documentary, in which he said: “It was terrifying to have my brother scream and shout at me and my father say things that just simply weren’t true, and my grandmother quietly sit there and sort of take it all in.”
The duke’s claim is one of many revelations outlined in the final episodes of the couple’s docuseries, which also saw the couple address the treatment of Meghan at the hands of the media, and her mental health struggles during their time as senior royals.
The final episodes also included lighter moments, such as when the couple mocked the size of Nottingham Cottage, the residence on the grounds of Kensington Palace where they lived temporarily after their royal wedding.
Both Buckingham Palace and Kensington Palace declined to comment on the latest episodes, with the royal family reuniting on Thursday evening for the Princess of Wales’ second annual Christmas carol concert.

Although a significant portion of the docuseries focuses on Meghan and Harry’s issues with the royal family and the institution, the Duke of Sussex admitted that there are things he misses about life in the royal family.
“I miss the weird family gatherings, when we’re all brought together under one roof for a certain time of the year. That I miss,” he revealed.

Beyonce also makes a cameo in the final episodes, when the duchess reads out a text she received from the singer after her and Prince Harry’s bombshell Oprah Winfrey interview.
As for what the message said, Meghan revealed that Beyonce texted to check in, and to tell that she “admires and respects my bravery and vulnerability and thinks I was selected to break generational curses that need to be healed”.

The docuseries also includes fun moments, such as the time dedicated to the couple’s royal wedding in 2018.
At one point, Clare Waight Keller, the former Givenchy artistic director who designed Meghan’s wedding dress, spoke of the pressure for the gown to be “flawless”.

The final episodes of the docuseries also see cameos from some of the couple’s famous friends, including Serena Williams.
While reflecting on the duchess’ 2018 baby shower, the tennis star explained that the hope had been to give Meghan a fun and intimate moment amid the attention on her pregnancy.
However, according to Williams, looking back, she doesn’t think she “understood that there was no intimate moment that one could have” in her friend’s situation.

On social media, the reaction to the latest episodes has been split, with some praising the Sussexes for sharing their side of the story, while others have suggested the six-hour series did not include any new revelations.
“So I’ve just finished watching the Harry & Meghan documentary. And I think I must be watching a different programme to everyone else! I love them. Good on them for speaking up! Genuinely baffled at some of the comments I’ve been reading about them,” one fan tweeted.

The criticisms of the docuseries have focused on some of the harder-to-believe statements made by the couple, such as Meghan’s claim to have been surprised when she saw people lining the streets for her royal wedding in 2018. “I didn’t know people would be lining each side of the street,” she says.
The couple’s slight mocking of their temporary home of Nottingham Cottage has also sparked backlash, after they claimed people would have been taken aback to see where they really lived.
