As Prince Harry linked the treatment of his wife Meghan Markle to that of his mother, Princess Diana, the Duke accused the Royal Family of playing a "dirty game" in a controversial Netflix trailer.
In a brand-new teaser for the Netflix series 'Harry and Meghan', Prince Harry refers to the "leaking and... planting of rumors" as a "dirty game."
In an apparent allusion to his wife, Meghan Markle, and mother, Princess Diana, and their experiences as members of the royal family, he talks about the "pain and sadness of women marrying into this institution."

The six-part series premieres on Thursday, and one commenter brings up the royals and race, saying: "It's about hatred. It's about race."
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex's most recent teaser has a slew of biting remarks that make no attempt to extend an arm of amity to the Royal Family. Instead, there is criticism that asserts "a war was fought against Meghan to further the interests of others."
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were not permitted to stand on the significant balcony at the late Queen Elizabeth's Platinum Jubilee because they are no longer "working royals."
The choice of a stony-faced image of Catherine, Princess of Wales, in a previous video last week caused criticism, and this most recent teaser has another stern image of her alongside Camilla, the Queen Consort, and Sophie, the Countess of Wessex.
Per BBC, the first three episodes of the series will air on December 8 at 8 a.m., followed by the second three the following week on December 15 at the same time.
The most recent teaser provides a brief history of the couple's tumultuous interactions with other royals, the media, and the general public, which culminated with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle moving to the US.
The pair has previously taken care to separate their criticism of the family from their criticism of the palace as a whole. Even if all six of the programs may do so, the Netflix teaser does not.

Prince Harry appears to suggest that there would be more information revealed, saying: "No one knows the full truth. We know the full truth."
The Sussexes' attorney Jenny Afia is also featured in the new edition, and she asserts that "there was a fight against Meghan to fit other people's interests." The two sections of the series, each with three episodes, are scheduled for release. 'Volume I' will debut on Netflix on December 8 and 'Volume II' will follow on December 15.
This has been verified by Netflix, as per Telegraph via MSN. Last week, Netflix unveiled the first official teaser for the show, which included never-before-seen private images of the couple.
These included adorable pictures of the Sussexes cuddling in a photo booth, dancing joyfully as newlyweds at their evening wedding reception, and Meghan Markle cradling her growing baby bump.
While in another, the duchess is seen sitting cross-legged on a chair, holding a phone, with her hand over her face; however, it is unclear in another photo if she is crying. According to sources at Buckingham Palace, there is "growing frustration and exhaustion" over Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's frequent and public complaints about how the Royal Family has treated them.
However, there is hope among the family that by the time the series concludes and Prince Harry's impending memoir is out in January, the "Sussex squall" will blow itself out, as per Daily Mail. Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have criticized the Royal Family in interviews, including one with Oprah Winfrey, after giving up their positions as working royals and relocating to California.
