Royals

The First three episodes of The Duke and Duchess of Sussex's New Documentary have dropped - They cover how Harry and Meghan first met, their First Dates , and include glimpses of their Family Life . Here are some of The moments to look out for.

After The dramatic opening credits and music, one of The First scenes in episode one shows Prince Harry filming himself inside The VIP Windsor Suite at Heathrow Airport , in London. He is waiting to board a flight to Canada, where he and Meghan were staying at The Time on Vancouver Island .

It's March 2020 and The Queen had agreed that her grandson and his wife could Stand Down from their roles as senior Royals - and Harry has just finished his last stint of engagements. It's a personal and pivotal moment. And it's The First Time we've seen it.

" What on earth happened? How did we end up here? " Harry says.

Footage of newspaper Front Pages expressing shock at The couple's dramatic decision to resign from The institution then cuts to Vancouver Island in Canada, where Meghan is filming herself on a Mobile Phone , with a towel wrapped around her hair.

" H is in London, and I'm here, " Meghan says, shaking her head. " I don't Even know where to begin. "

Early in episode one we get an intimate look into The Sussexes Family Life at their home, in California. As a vivid red sunset appears across The screen, we hear Meghan ask her eldest child, Archie, how he would describe it.

" Well, it's all done beautiful, " The Toddler , now aged three, responds.

The audio is accompanied by footage - filmed by Meghan on her Mobile Phone - of Archie toddling down a path outside their Montecito home, while Harry pushes a pram, which we assume has daughter Lilibet in.

Episode one sees Harry and Meghan set out how their romance began, in 2016. The pair had only met twice before Prince Harry invited Meghan to join him on a five-day trip to Botswana. They slept in a tent with no access to a bathroom, no mirrors, and no Mobile Phone reception.

" I'm Getting On The plane and going to The Middle of The Bush ? What am I doing? " Meghan says. " What if we don't like each other? "

The pair hadn't seen each other for about a month, and Meghan admits things felt awkward when she first arrived. " I remember he handed me a Chicken Sandwich , " she says, laughing. " Thankfully we really liked each other. "

It doesn't take long to realise that while They might be The Duke and Duchess of Sussex to you and I, much like any other couple, Harry and Meghan have pet nicknames for one another.

And there seem to be a lot of them. She's M, Meg and Meghan, while he's H. At one point The camera shows him FaceTiming Meghan, and Harry's name appears to be saved on her Phone as Haz.

Episode two focusses on Meghan and her childhood and she talks candidly about racism and being mixed race. " People don't talk about what it's like to be mixed race. So much of my self-identification was trying to figure out where I fit in. And I think a lot of that is, you're not white enough or you're not black enough. But I don't see The World that way. "

The episode shows Meghan driving past The Hollywood Bowl , in Los Angeles - where she says she also had her High School graduation. She talks about The Last concert she went to at The Venue with her mum.

As They were exiting The Car Park after The Show , Meghan remembers: " My mum honked her horn because this woman was taking a long time to figure How To Get Out , and The Woman turned around and screamed The N-word at My Mom .

" I remember The grip that her hands had on The steering wheel and. . it was so tight, that The knuckles get all white. And she was just silent The rest of The Drive home, we never talked about it. "

In The same episode, Harry talks about having travelled around " half of The Commonwealth" while in The Royal Family , and how he thought " I had an awareness" of racist issues. " But hearing her talk and seeing her have conversations and chats, I was like, you are just blissfully sleepwalking through life, " he says, adding: " My son, My Daughter , my children are mixed race, and I'm really proud of that. "

In episode two, Meghan also recalls The First Time she met other senior Royals and admits she had not anticipated The Levels of formality that were required - Even behind closed doors.

She says she was barefoot and wearing ripped jeans, when Prince William and Catherine came over for Dinner - and she went in for a hug. " I have always been a hugger, " Meghan says, " I didn't realise that that was jarring for a lot of Brits. "

Later, she describes The Moment Harry asked if she knew How To curtsy, moments before her " surreal" first meeting with her boyfriend's Grandmother - The late Queen.

" I just thought that was a joke, " Meghan says. " It was so intense. "

When The Queen left The Room , Meghan was congratulated by Princess Eugenie and her mother, Sarah Duchess of York. " I didn't know what I was doing, " Meghan admits.

In The same episode, Harry describes The Moment he proposed to Meghan, in late 2017. Meghan was roasting a chicken and Harry decided to open a bottle of champagne. " It was a magnum, " Meghan says.

Having already asked for his Grandmother 's permission, Harry got down on one knee to pop The question in The gardens of Kensington Palace , surrounded by 15 electric candles.

Although an official announcement would not be made for some weeks, The couple had an engagement party for friends where all The Guests dressed in animal costumes.

" Meghan and Harry were in matching penguin onesies - because penguins mate For Life , " their friend, Lucy Fraser, recalls. " They were So Sweet and we had so much fun. "
