When the Duchess of Sussex finally confirmed the existence of W a Netflix documentary in August, she insisted to The Cut that it was her chance to tell her "love story" We should have all known better.
Just three months later, the Sussexes have dropped the first half of their two-part Netflix series that is less the fairytale Meghan hinted at and more a full-scale attack on the family they estranged themselves from in 2020.
From the very first trailer, Meghan, 41, and Prince Harry, 38, made it clear that the Prince and Princess of Wales were firmly in their crosshairs, with palace insiders telling Woman's Day that William and Kate took it as "a declaration of war".
Once again, the Princess of Wales appears to be a firm target of the duo, with a stern and unflattering image of Kate used to promote the series featured in the trailer.
