Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have entered the realm with the wrong shoes on. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex released their Netflix docuseries in hopes of getting their version of the story out. While the docuseries did rope in favor and sympathy, Prince Harry’s memoir, that came after, did not. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex saw many backs turning as day by day one inaccuracy after another was pointed out in the Prince’s memoir.

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s Netflix docuseries backfires

The pair stepped out of the Royal family hand in hand and later sat shoulder to shoulder to share their grievances with the world. And despite the couple hinting that King Charles, Prince William, and Kate Middleton were not pleasant towards them, to say the least, it is them who have been subjected to the fire. According to Amanda Platell, “Despite Meghan’s bleeding-heart, six-part Netflix docu-series, their popularity has collapsed and 45 per cent of Americans believe they should be stripped of their titles,” as reported by Daily Mail.

Platell made these claims in light of the former senior Royals finding themselves as the butt of the joke on popular animated sitcom. Through animation, the show described what the better part of Twitter had been feeling regarding the couple’s demand for popularity. The journalist further pointed out how the audience of the animated sitcom is the same as that hopped on to watch their docuseries.
