William and Kate were blindsided by Harry and Meghan's bombshell Netflix trailer trends now

The Prince and Princess of Wales were caught completely unaware by Meghan and Harry's Netflix trailer but have vowed ‘not to be distracted' from their successful US tour.

William and Kate will meet President Joe Biden in Boston today before their glittering Earthshot Prize ceremony featuring stars such as Billie Eilish and Annie Lennox tonight.

The Sussexes have been accused of trying to sink the Wales' American trip by releasing the teaser for their new Netflix documentary, due for release on December 8 - exactly three months after the death of Harry’s grandmother, Queen Elizabeth.

The one-minute trailer, littered with private photos, showed Meghan crying and Harry saying gravely, ‘no-one sees what’s happening behind closed doors’, in a major hint that they are set to inflict more damage on the Royal Family.

In 2021 the couple had said their interview with Oprah was their final word on Megxit and the royals, but in the Netflix show Harry says: 'I had to do everything I could to protect my family', the Duke, cutting to his wife, who says: 'When the stakes are this high, doesn't it make sense to hear our story from us?'

William and Kate have not commented on the show, but sources have said they were unaware it would be released halfway through their US visit with one insider revealing it is being seen as a ‘declaration of war’ by the royals.

The couple's trip has also been overshadowed by the resignation of William's godmother Lady Susan Hussey over comments made to a black campaigner at a Buckingham Palace reception that emerged then the Wales' were on a BA jet crossing the Atlantic for Boston. 

A promotional trailer, which was posted online on the second day of the Prince and Princess of Wales’ high-profile visit to the US, dispelled any hopes that the Sussexes are declaring a ceasefire in their acrimonious battle with the Royal Family.

Both Buckingham Palace and Kensington Palace declined to comment last night.

Royal sources have said the Prince and Princess of Wales are determined ‘not to be distracted by other things this week’ and their focus is on meeting communities and local people across Boston during their US trip.

As well as including dozens of supposedly private pictures from their family album, the footage includes a voiceover from Harry saying gravely, ‘no-one sees what’s happening behind closed doors’ over a black and white picture of his wife on an armchair, apparently crying.

The film then immediately cuts away to a shot focusing on a pinched-looking William and Kate at the 2019 Commonwealth Service in London, with the Sussexes sitting meekly behind them.

The message, say royal sources, is unmistakable. ‘I don’t see how anyone could view it as anything other than a declaration of war,’ said one.

The minute-long Netflix teaser strongly suggests the Sussexes will confront rumours about their tempestuous relationships with senior royals head-on.

In a deliberately tantalising remark to a producer off-screen, Meghan says in the clip: ‘When the stakes are this high, doesn’t it make more sense to hear our story from us?’

Royal insiders reacted with horror and an increasing sense of anger yesterday as the trailer was released on social media ahead of the documentary being broadcast on Netflix next week as part of the Sussexes’ multi-million dollar deal with the streaming giant.

There was also disappointment that it had been released to coincide with William and Kate’s trip to the US, their first visit to the country since 2014, during which the prince is hosting his major environmental project, the Earthshot Prize.

While it is unlikely that the duke and
