Prince Harry and Meghan Markle reportedly make £244,000 per minute in their latest Netflix documentary, Harry and Meghan. It comes as rarely seen clips of them with their children were shown in today's episode. This is despite the fact that the pair have continuously demanded privacy in the personal lives and to be kept free from press intrusion. 

More, larger grains of "truth" are expected to drop in the next three episodes of the show, expected on December 15. 

In total there will be 360 minutes of "unprecedented truths" about their life in the Royal family including intimate family footage and behind-the-scene pics.

Harry and Meghan reportedly both make £244,000 per minute as a result of doing the show, whose episodes are three hours long, with the show costing £88 million.

Palace insiders blasted the show today, claiming the Royal Family were not asked to comment prior to its release despite the series opening with the words.

The show opened with: "Members of the Royal Family declined to comment on the content within this series".

It is reported Kensington Palace received a third-party email from a production company via a different and unkown organisation's email address.

Insiders claim the palace attempted to verify the source of the email with Archewell Productions and Netflix but no one replied - meaning the palace could not respond.

Netflix today doubled down on insisting it offered the right of reply to the Royals, claiming: "Communications offices for King Charles and the Prince of Wales were contacted in advance and given the right to reply to claims within the series."

In the show, Meghan claimed she was left reeling by her first meeting with the Princess of Wales.

She said: "Even when Will and Kate came over and I met her for the first time.

"I was in ripped jeans and I was barefoot.

"I’m a hugger I’ve always been a hugger. I didn’t know that could be jarring for a lot of Brits.

"I guess I started to understand very quickly that the formality out on the outside, carried through on the inside.

"That there is a forward facing way of being then you close the door and you go phew, great we can relax now.

"But that formality continues on both sides and that was surprising to me."

Meanwhile, in a dig at his father King Charles' parenting style, Harry claimed he was "brought up" by friends in Africa.

He said: "I've got a second family out there. A group of friends that literally brought me up."

The first three episodes of the six-part show were released today at 8am. The remaining three will be available to watch on December 15.

In the show, Harry said he "sacrificed everything he had" for Meghan when they left royal life behind.

And Harry claimed Meghan "doesn't have a father" as they dove into the lead up to their royal wedding.
