In the docu-series, Prince Harry alleges that the Prince of Wales "screamed and shouted" at a private family meeting when the brothers and other senior members of the family discussed the Duke and Duchess's decision to step down from their royal duties. Meghan's emphasis on an awkward hugging moment at their first encounter was a subtle hint of tension between herself and the Princess of Wales.

Surprisingly, Prince Harry shared information about a secret family session in which the older members discussed the most effective ways to assist the Duke and Duchess of Sussex in escaping the institution. According to Prince Harry, Prince William let his anger get the best of him.
