''I believe my wife suffered a miscarriage because of what the Mail did," he said, referring to the British tabloid newspaper. "I watched the whole thing.

"Now do we absolutely know that the miscarriage was caused by that? Of course we don't, but bearing in mind the stress that that caused, the lack of sleep, and the timing of the pregnancy - how many weeks in she was, I can say from what I saw, that miscarriage was created by what they were trying to do to her."

Harry on his family

"I felt really distant from the rest of my family, which was interesting because so much of how they operate is about what it looks like rather than what it feels like. And it looked cold, but it also felt cold."

Rift with William

Things have not been very pleasant between Prince William and Harry in recent years. Reflecting upon his relationship, Harry said: 

"William and I both saw what happened in our in our dad's office and we made an agreement we would never let that happen to our office.

Media scrutiny

Prince Harry has been the subject of media scrutiny since his childhood, and as he grew up, the media's coverage became more harsh and brutal. In the documentary, Harry revealed how the media harassed her mother, Princess Diana, and later he became the victim of the same harassment.

From elementary school to college, his every move was scrutinised and criticised. And, at one point, the intense coverage began to have an impact on all of his relationships. Before meeting Meghan, Harry had several affairs, but all of them got affected due to the intense coverage that the other person and his family had to face just because of him and his status. 

Recalling his feelings, Harry said, "How can I ever find someone who is willing and capable of enduring all the baggage that comes with being with me?"

''Every relationship that I had, within a matter of weeks or months, was splattered all over the newspaper, that person's family harassed, and their lives turned upside down. So after one or two girlfriends, the third or fourth girlfriend went, Hang on a second, I don't know if I want this."

"So when I got to meet M, I was terrified of her being driven away by the media," Harry says.

Their relationship will won’t last: Royals

Recalling the time when his royal relatives met Meghan for very first time, Harry said that they all were incredibly impressed and were surprised at the same time thinking that 'a ginger could land such a beautiful woman'.

Further talking, Prince also shared that many royals thought their relationship will won't last long. 

“I remember my family first meeting her and being incredibly impressed. Some of them didn’t quite know what to do with themselves. I think they were surprised. Maybe surprised that a ginger could land such a beautiful woman and such an intelligent woman. But the fact that I was dating an American actress was probably what clouded their judgment more than anything else at the beginning. ‘Oh she’s an American actress — this won’t last,’ ” he said.

So, while everything was going on, Harry's one friend suggested that they should record themselves and their journey for the future. 

In the documentary, Harry says, "A friend of ours actually suggested that we document ourselves through this period of time. With all of the misinformation that was going on out there, especially about us and the departure, it seemed like a really sensible idea."
