EARTHSHOT...POTSHOT

THE Royal Family have been warned to prepare for the worst when Harry and Meghan’s bombshell Netflix documentary series goes out this week.

It came as William and Kate headed back to Britain from their US Earthshot visit – with the Prince of Wales set for crisis palace talks with King Charles over the show which is expected to go out worldwide on Thursday.

One source in contact with a Netflix production insider said: “I genuinely think it’s going to be worse than the royals can imagine.

“I’m told that it’s going to be utterly explosive and will be very damaging.”

The fuse was lit this week with a minute-long trailer on YouTube as the Prince and Princess of Wales were on a three-day visit to Boston ahead of Friday’s Earthshot Prize ceremony. But as the couple were championing new efforts to tackle global warming, Harry and Meghan were turning up the heat on the Palace with a peek at what they say is the inside story of why they stepped down from royal duties.

The teaser went online on the second day of the Wales’ highprofile US trip.

In black-and-white clips, intimate moments between Harry, 38, and Meghan, 41, are shared – from the pair kissing on the kitchen counter and joking around in California, to new footage of their wedding day. Cameras show a tearful Meghan on the phone and an image of the Princess of Wales looking stern, strongly suggesting Kate will not be painted in a positive light.

“No one sees what’s happening behind closed doors,” says Prince Harry, who then brings children Archie, three, and Lilibet, one, into the mix with: “I had to do everything I could to protect my family.”
