Meghan Markle and Prince Harry

Netflix revealed on Monday that the series will premiere in two installments -- the first volume of three episodes will drop on December 8, followed by a second batch of three episodes on December 15. The series, which is directed by 'What Happened, Miss Simone?' helmer Liz Garbus, promises an intimate account of the couple's courtship -- and unprecedented access to their tumultuous years as senior royals.

After months of mystery, Netflix released a first-look trailer for the highly anticipated documentary series on Thursday. The project, directed by 'What Happened, Miss Simone?' helmer Liz Garbus, promises an intimate account of the couple's courtship -- and unprecedented access to their tumultuous years as senior royals. ('What Happened, Miss Simone?', incidentally, is a 2015 documentary on the life and music of legendary singer and activist Nina Simone.)

"#OprahMeghanHarry I don't believe a word Meghan says. Not a word. She is lying to make herself a victim. She is using the race card to gain sympathy. Evil," Simi had tweeted earlier on Monday. Soon, Twitterati empathising with the former royal couple and their interview, slammed the 73-year-old.
