Prince Harry and Meghan Markle chose to release their own documentary to give fans an insight into their world after leaving the Royal Family in 2020.

In the trailer, the Duchess of Sussex can be heard saying, “When the stakes are this high, doesn't it make more sense to hear our story from us?"Ahead of its release, many questioned why they felt the need to make the show after their bombshell interview with Oprah Winfrey last year.Their chat with the talk show host was the first time they broke their silence after announcing they had left the Royal Family.During the interview, the couple made a series of revelations which prompted Buckingham Palace to issue a rare statement.The biggest bombshell of the discussion was when the pair said an unnamed member of the family had "concerns" about the colour of their son's skin.Tina Turner says son Ronnie 'left the world too early' aged 62The interview sparked many to share their opinion including Absolutely Fabulous star Joanna Lumley, 76, was one of many who commented at the time.Speaking on the Jeremy Vine show, she said the couple's move had spread "unhappiness" and that she felt sorry for the royals.She said at the time: "I don't want to get in too deep because I know people have gone very sensitive on all sides about this, but it did seem to me a bit one-sided because everybody knows that the Royal Family can't really answer back."So no matter what you say, they can't answer back.So I was anxious not to watch it, actually.

I didn't want to watch it and I didn't watch the interview."But you can't avoid it because everybody's talking about it, it's on all the news and in all the papers.
