The rift between Britain's royal family and the Duke and Duchess of Sussex looks set to widen further following the release of the first half of a new series about their experiences. The Netflix show, called Harry and Meghan, is very much their version of events - it's co-produced by the couple. It repeats previous accusations by Prince Harry of excessive levels of press intrusion and a failure by Buckingham Palace to protect Meghan from negative - and sometimes racist coverage.

This item was originally produced for the BBC World Service by the BBC's Royal Correspondent, Jonny Dymond.
