Harry & Meghan film is high stakes for former royals – and for Netflix

Documentary teaser comes at awkward time for royal family amid race row and Prince and Princess of Wales' US tour

The biggest surprise of this week's release of a trailer for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex's forthcoming Netflix documentary is that it appeared at all. Amid speculation that the programme - entitled Harry & Meghan - was still being edited or had been delayed until next year, here, finally, was a commitment that the tell-all would soon make it to the air.

When the stakes were this high, doesn't it make more sense to hear our story from us?" Meghan is seen asking.
