Second part of Prince Harry and Meghan’s docuseries set to drop on big day for Princess Kate

Part two of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s Netflix docuseries is set to be released on a special day for the Princess of Wales.

On Thursday this week, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex will release the final three episodes of their bombshell docuseries - which happens to be the same day Kate will host a festive carol service.

The Sun has reported the overlap of events has created fears that the docuseries will overshadow Kate’s Together at Christmas event, which is due to air in the UK on Christmas Eve.

Having announced the broadcast in a Tweet yesterday, Kate is set to pay tribute to the late Queen Elizabeth and her decades of unswerving public service as well as other community leaders from the UK.

Kensington Palace issued a statement that read: "The inspirational guests who have been invited to the abbey in recognition of their tireless work to help and care for those around them.”

King Charles, Queen Camilla and Prince William will be at Kate’s side as support.

It comes after the first three episodes of Harry and Meghan’s Netflix show dropped amid the Prince and Princess of Wales’ three-day tour of the US, with many speculating the release was deliberate and was intended to pull attention away from the couple.

The docuseries also included a moment where Meghan appeared to take aim at the couple and their formalities.

In episode two the former Suits actress recalled the first time she met her sister-in-law saying: “When Will and Kate came over, and I met her for the first time, they came over for dinner, I remember I was in ripped jeans and I was barefoot.

“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.”

She also said meeting the Queen for the first time was a “shock to the system”.

The Sun has reported it’s understood the royal family have not watched the series and claimed Harry and William’s relationship is at an “all time low”.

Meanwhile, The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have accused Buckingham Palace of being willing to "lie to protect" his "brother Prince William but "were never willing to tell the truth to protect" him and his wife.

In a new 90-second trailer for the final three episodes of the couple's Netflix documentary, Harry, 38, makes an accusation that the protection offered to his 40-year-old sibling William - who is next in line to the British throne after their father King Charles III - was never afforded to him and his wife Meghan, 41.

In the teaser, Harry says: “They were happy to lie to protect my brother. They were never willing to tell the truth to protect us."

In the trailer, Meghan - who previously was known as Meghan Markle before she gave up acting and married Harry - claims she was "being fed to the wolves" as Harry speaks about "institutional gaslighting" as footage is shown of newspaper presses rolling.

Speaking into the camera, Meghan says: "I wasn’t being thrown to the wolves. I was being fed to the wolves.”

Harry also asks: “I wonder what would have happened to us if we hadn’t got out when we did?”

To which Meghan adds: “Our security was being pulled, everyone in the world knew where we were.”

The final three episodes of docuseries 'Harry and Meghan' will be available to stream on Netflix on Thursday December 15.

The trailer - which also features the couple's children, Archie, three, and 18-month-old Lilibet - ends with Harry saying: ”I have always felt as though this was a fight worth fighting for."
