‘The Crown’ Is Crowd! As &#8216;Harry &amp; Meghan&#8217; Surpass the Acclaimed Royal Drama Amidst Backlash

Following the death of Queen Elizabeth II, Netflix launched a double whammy on
the royal family of Britain. In November, the American streaming giant released
the fifth season of the controversial show The Crown. The episodes were harmful
to the image of the new monarch King Charles III as they discussed at length
about his divorce from the late Princess Diana. The show also highlighted the
former Princess of Wales’ bombshell interview with the BBC. A month after the
release of The Crown season five, Netflix came up with Prince Harry and Meghan
Markle’s explosive docuseries.

The show formed a part of Sussexes’ $100 million deal

with the streamer. The royal couple went all out against their subjects in the
United Kingdom. They removed curtains from the plotting that forced them to step
back as working royals. Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s controversial claims
received a mixed response as Britishers questioned the legitimacy of the
accusations. However, despite facing criticism, Harry & Meghan managed to beat
the hit show The Crown [https://netflixjunkie.com/tag/the-crown/] in terms of
viewership.

HARRY & MEGHAN RECORDS BIGGEST DOCUMENTARY DEBUT EVER

Harry & Meghan has broken a series of records when it comes to viewership. The
first volume of the show was released on December 08 and it fetched over 2.4

it premiered on November 08. The television show was successful in attracting
only 1.1 million people.

Notably, the views can be a lot higher as the rating body Barb counts only the
watchers who stream the show on television sets. They do not take into account
the laptop or phone users. Meanwhile, recently Netflix claimed that Harry &
Meghan had the best documentary debut ever. As per the streamer, the show has
recorded over 175 million watch hours. 

Moreover, The Crown has been watched by 73 million viewers since its debut in
2016. As per the Express,
[https://www.express.co.uk/news/royal/1714727/prince-harry-meghan-markle-documentary-netflix-views-the-crown-latest]
the Duke and Duchess’ documentary took over the record within the first week as
it grabbed 81 million users. Notably, both shows are doing extremely well as
they are in the top ten in the United States and the United Kingdom.
