In the coming months, viewers can expect a weekly dose of mess and outrage as Netflix’s new series, “Harry and Meghan,” delves into Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s controversial departure from the royal family.
While the documentary has been in the pipeline for some time, the release of a one-minute trailer on Thursday has ignited fresh reactions from fans and critics alike.
In fact, there are reports of some Netflix users threatening to cancel their subscriptions as a form of protest.
Twitter users wasted no time expressing their opinions on the trailer.
One user, At Turnip Vindaloo, declared, “Glad I cancelled my subscription now more than ever.”
Another user, Ambu Olga, simply dismissed it with a “Pass.
This is just a show to support themselves.”
Amijo 1983 expressed a mix of emotions, saying, “I hate that I want to watch this.
What a mixture of emotions.”
Lord Ham Mercury questioned, “How many times are we going to hear their story?
I’ve heard nothing but their story for two years at this point.”
Tom Godfrey, on the other hand, saw the editing of the trailer as a declaration of war and loved it.
ALMC61 contemplated cancelling their Netflix subscription, writing, “Think I’ll need to cancel my Netflix subscription.”
The discontent spilled over onto Reddit, where users shared similar sentiments.
One person announced their boycott, stating, “Cancelled my Netflix because of how petty they handled the announcement.”
Another user expressed their complete disinterest in anything related to Harry and Meghan, saying, “I’ve never watched the Oprah interview and I’ve never listened to a single podcast.
I won’t click on any stories about them.
I cancelled my Netflix more than a year ago.
Those two get nothing from me, nor do any of their so-called sponsors.
This Reddit account is my only source related to them.”
Clearly, the couple’s actions have not resonated well with everyone.
According to The Sun, Prince William is reportedly rushing back to meet with King Charles as the royal household prepares to respond swiftly and firmly to the claims made in the documentary.
The King and Prince of Wales are expected to present a united front against any potential allegations of racism put forward by Harry and Meghan.
Senior aides have confirmed that both His Majesty and William intend to watch all three episodes so they can quickly address any accusations directed at the monarchy.
A source close to the situation revealed, “There is a completely united front from the King and his family concerning the numerous attempts to privately make peace with the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, which sadly have once again resulted in the other side wishing to air their repeated grievances to the world.
If there is a need to respond to anything in the upcoming series, then you can be assured that the response will be swift and robust.”
The source also criticized the timing of the trailer release, suggesting it was a deliberate move to detract attention from William and Kate’s hosting of the Prince’s Earthshot Prize in the US.
They added, “Arguably, next week some attentions may have a different focus.”
In addition to the controversy surrounding the documentary, body language expert Adrian Carter analyzed the couple’s behavior in the Netflix trailer.
Carter noted that Prince Harry appeared angry, hinting at a lack of protection felt by him and his family within the system they were once part of as working members of the royal family.
On the other hand, Carter observed that Meghan Markle displayed a lack of confidence in the trailer.
