Meghan Markle talks about "direct conflict" in the "family business" in an explosive teaser for the next three episodes of her and Prince Harry's Netflix series.
A 30-second teaser is available at the end of the third episode of Harry & Meghan, which dropped on the streaming platform this morning.
And in the trailer, it suggests the final part of the series will tackle the couple’s decision to quit the monarchy, dubbed Megxit by some at the time, and ultimately move to the US.
It starts with a voice that can be heard referencing their decision to “take a step back from their royal duties”, while footage plays of the couple on royal engagements followed by a shot of Meghan walking while holding a baby.

Harry then says “everything that’s happened to us was always going to happen to us”, as images of Buckingham Palace and newspapers being printed flash across the screen.
Meghan adds: “Suddenly what clicked in my head was, it’s never going to stop.”

Viewers see footage of a plane taking off and the couple tightly holding hands.
The pair quit as senior working royals in 2020 in favour of more freedom and the ability to earn their own money in the US.
Just before the first lockdown began in March 2020, the couple moved from an exclusive Vancouver Island home in Canada to Los Angeles, and now reside in Montecito, California.

In the first three episodes released today, Harry claimed his relatives of asked why Meghan should be "protected" from media speculation, alleging he was told it was something all royal women - including Princess Diana and Kate - have to go through.
The duchess said she found the “formality" of being in the royal family "surprising" and recalled being in ripped jeans when she met Harry's brother and sister-in-law for the first time.
She said: "I was a hugger. I’ve always been a hugger, I didn’t realise that that is really jarring for a lot of Brits.
“I guess I started to understand very quickly that the formality on the outside carried through on the inside.
“There is a forward-facing way of being, and then you close the door and go ‘You can relax now’, but that formality carries over on both sides. And that was surprising to me.”
Meanwhile, he also appeared to take aim at King Charles by claiming he has friends in Botswana who "literally brought me up".
