Australian television host Karl Stefanovic, known for his outspoken criticism of Meghan Markle and Prince Harry, couldn’t contain his laughter while watching the trailer for the royal couple’s new self-titled Netflix documentary.
Alongside his co-host Alison Langdon, the Today show star grimaced before bursting into laughter, clearly unimpressed with what they saw.
During the segment, Karl and Ali read out viewer comments from Facebook, which included a mix of positive and negative responses.
However, it seemed that Karl’s interest in Harry and Meghan’s latest venture quickly dwindled as he swiftly changed the topic to the World Cup, engaging in a conversation about one of the games.
The highly-anticipated Netflix show by Harry and Meghan promises to feature interviews with family and friends who have never spoken publicly before.
The trailer hints at fresh attacks on the royal family, leaving them bracing for more revelations.
The six-part reality series, with a staggering budget of $100 million, aims to shed light on Harry and Meghan’s relationship like never before.
It will include insights from friends, relatives, historians, and journalists who will examine the media’s influence on their connection with the royal family and the Commonwealth at large.
In response to Meghan Markle’s claim in the trailer that it’s time the public hears their story, royal commentator Jonathan Sakidoti finds it ridiculous and absurd.
He points out that the world has already been exposed to their version of events repeatedly.
Mr. Sakidoti questions the timing of the documentary’s release, which coincides with the Prince and Princess of Wales presenting the Earthshot Prize Awards in Boston, featuring notable performances by artists such as Billie Eilish.
He suggests that dropping the trailer at this moment is an aggressive marketing move to generate as much buzz as possible for the show.
From the brief glimpse provided in the trailer, it becomes evident that the documentary has the potential to be explosive.
The footage showcases numerous personal Instagram-style photographs of the couple in what appears to be private moments.
Sakidoti believes that this puts to rest any doubts about Harry and Meghan’s desire for less public intrusion into their lives.
The trailer concludes with Meghan questioning whether it makes more sense to hear the story from her and Harry, as if the public hasn’t already heard enough from them in recent years.
The notion that their side of the story has been withheld is both ridiculous and absurd.
In reality, their perspective has been reiterated countless times, while the Royal Family has maintained a dignified silence, refraining from responding to the offensive allegations made against them or the inconsistencies in the Duke and Duchess’s statements since their departure.
As the release date of the Netflix documentary approaches, anticipation grows for the revelations it may hold.
Whether it will provide a fresh perspective or simply reiterate previously shared narratives remains to be seen.
Nevertheless, the show’s creators, Netflix, along with Meghan and Harry, are determined to create a significant buzz around their latest venture.
