    Harry and Meghan latest news: Reactions to Netflix documentary as royal family stay silent on Sussex claims – live

    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.

    The Duchess of Sussex also discussed the ways in which her own fashion choices have been used to send messages in the couple’s docuseries, in which she recalled wearing a lot of muted tones when she was a senior member of the royal family so she wouldn’t stand out.

    However, according to Meghan, during her and Prince Harry’s final week of royal engagements, she wanted to “look like a rainbow”.

    The royal family, who have declined to comment on the docuseries, conducted business as usual amid the release of the latest episodes, with the family reuniting for the Princess of Wales’ second annual Christmas carol concert on Thursday evening.

    For the occasion, Princess Kate and Princess Charlotte wore matching maroon coat dresses, in what appeared to be a display of unity.

    There were also moments that the couple looked back on their time as senior royals with anger, and sadness.

    In one scene, the duke and duchess reflected on the moment it seemed Meghan’s popularity would prove to be an issue among the royal family, with the series describing her and Harry’s concern after she was featured on the front page of a newspaper instead of the Queen.

    “The issue is, when someone who’s marrying in, who should be a supporting act, is then stealing the limelight, or is doing the job better than the person who was born to do this, that upsets people, it shifts the balance,” Prince Harry said of the pivotal moment.

    The View co-host Whoopi Goldberg also argued that the rift between Harry and his brother Prince William is up to them alone to fix.

    “Family is family, and they’ll figure it out,” she said. “They’re not boys. They’re two men. They’re not children. So they have to figure out their own stuff. Charles can’t fix that for them.”

    Goldberg made the suggestion while admitting that she has not watched the Sussexes’ docuseries, because she has “other stuff on my mind”.

    The reaction to the six-hour docuseries has been largely divided, with many applauding the Sussexes for sharing their story, while others have accused the couple of rehashing old arguments.

    The hosts of The View were in disagreement over the docuseries during Thursday’s episode of the talk-show, with Joy Behar questioning why the couple has not stepped away from the spotlight in light of the treatment of both Meghan and Prince Harry’s mother, Princess Diana.

    “You would think after his mother was basically a victim of the paparazzi and all of the attention she got all over the place that he would shy away from all of that,” Behar said.

    Elsewhere in the series, Prince Harry reflected on some of the things he misses about the royal family, including the time spent together as a 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 admitted.

    While the couple made a number of shocking claims in the latest episodes, volume two also included sweet insights into their relationship, with the duke and duchess sharing a number of never-before-seen photographs from the early days of their marriage, when they were living in Nottingham Cottage.

    In one photo, Meghan could be seen dancing in the doorway, while another showed Prince Harry painting their temporary home.

    The couple shared the photos while reflecting on their time spent living in the “small” cottage.

    The timing of the racism row coincided with the release of the first three episodes of the Sussexes docuseries earlier this month.

    At the time, it was also noted that the Duchess of Sussex had her own history with Lady Susan, as the palace aide was assigned to help Meghan adjust to royal life before and after her and Prince Harry’s royal wedding.

    However, Lady Susan reportedly had her doubts about the couple, as she once allegedly claimed the Sussexes marriage would “end in tears”.
