LONDON, UK: With the release of their contentious Netflix documentary, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have been accused of violating the late Queen's trust. According to royal sources, the pair reportedly broke the promise they gave to the monarch at Sandringham in January 2020, just before they left for the United States.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex reportedly vowed to "continue to uphold the values of Her Majesty" in everything they did in the future. A Palace statement released on behalf of the late Queen at the time read, "Harry, Meghan and Archie will always be much loved members of my family," as per The Mirror.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex came under attack from former senior aides and other royal insiders as Buckingham Palace and Kensington Palace staff prepared for a barrage of criticism in the couple's series. After the Sandringham summit, an insider said on their behalf, "While they can no longer formally represent the Queen, the Sussexes have made clear that everything they do will continue to uphold the values of Her Majesty."

The family, with the exception of Harry and Meghan, has been largely silent on the matter out of respect for royal custom. Insiders have now revealed how the Queen truly felt about Harry and Meghan's dramatic exit from the United Kingdom, according to a new report from The Telegraph. Author Phil Dampier said, "Whatever their alleged grievances, the way that Harry and Meghan have behaved is a total betrayal exclusive of the Queen’s legacy. They have acted in a completely unacceptable way despite the attempts of the late Queen and his father to hold out an olive branch."

Their tell-all documentary appears to be on track to leak a variety of royal secrets and even take aim at the establishment itself. The news comes as the royal family braces itself for a potential media storm related to the six-part docuseries, Harry and Meghan, whose first three parts were dropped on the streaming service on Thursday, December 8. Experts predict that the program will be "utterly explosive" and express concern that it may present some members of the royal family in a negative light.
