Per Fox News, the episode also examined the brothers' differing ways to dealing with media attention. According to the network, the documentary's purpose was to see if bad reports about the royals were based on information from persons close to other royal households.
The broadcast ended with a statement from Buckingham Palace, Clarence House, and Kensington Palace on the claims, which was released to the BBC. They are Queen Elizabeth II's, Prince Charles', and Prince William's respective households.
An attorney for Meghan Markle appeared on the show to respond to accusations that the Duchess of Sussex had bullied palace personnel. Those allegations have been vigorously rejected by the 40-year-old's team. It should also be mentioned that the United Kingdom The New York Times revelation came only days before the Duke and Duchess of Sussex sat down for a broadcast interview with Oprah Winfrey.

Last night's broadcast ended with a final interview with Meghan Markle's British lawyer, while the Royal Family's answer was a written statement that flashed on TV, according to Angela Levin, who penned a biography of Prince Harry.
Jenny Afia of consultant Schillings rejected charges the former Suits star was "difficult and demanding" in the episode, saying stories regarding her behavior of colleagues were incorrect. Members of the Royal families had briefed against Meghan Markle and Prince Harry while they were living in the UK, according to royal journalist Omid Scobie, who alleged this in the program.
The Queen, Prince Charles, and Prince William, according to Royal Family advisers, have not been given a legitimate right of reply. All three are reportedly considering filing a joint protest with broadcast regulator Ofcom over republican Amol Rajan's two-part show.
