PRINCE HARRY FEARS SAFETY OF HIS FAMILY The first episode of Harry & Meghan opened with a message that read that all the interviews for the documentary were concluded by August 2022. This was just days before the death of Prince Harry's grandmother Queen Elizabeth II on 8 September.
The release of the docuseries is exactly three months following the death of the Queen. The message also revealed that members of the royal family have declined to comment on the documentary. In the opening scene, airport shots and Harry filming himself at Heathrow airport back in March 2020 is seen.

We've just finished two weeks, out final push, our list stint of royal engagements, he said.
It's really hard to look back on it now and go what on earth happened? he continued.
I am genuinely concerned for the safety of my family, he explained.
There seems to be more information to follow in the episodes to come. The pair have two children together - Archie (3) and Lilibet (1).
