Sympathy for Meghan and Harry among the US media waned on Thursday with the second installment of the couple’s Netflix show, where they complained for three hours about how they think the Royal family and the media treated them.
In the final three episodes of their Netflix show, Harry and Meghan turned up the heat with their allegations against the royals, accusing them of being jealous of Meghan’s fame and not understanding their quest for love and freedom.
Fox news columnist Lee Cohen said they were on track to become ‘the most hated royals’ ever and that Harry was following in the footsteps of ‘the reviled’ Duke of Windsor.
‘Like the Windsors before them, the Sussexes have fallen out of favor in Britain for their indecorous behavior.
‘But while the Duke of Windsor let his people down by being irresponsible, he and his wife did not seek the spotlight in any meaningful way. Nor did they exist, as the Sussexes seem to, hell-bent to destroy the monarchy,’ Cohen wrote.
CNN Royal Correspondent Max Foster said the Palace must respond now to the ‘very serious’ allegations made by Harry and Meghan in the new episodes
Fox said the pair are now on track to be the ‘most hated royals’ after the Duke of Windsor and Wallis Simpson
NBC news was among outlets that seized on the fresh allegations lobbed at the Royal family
The Washington Post also focused on Harry and Meghan’s allegations against the palace
Howard Stern slammed the couple for complaining about the intrusion into their lives while putting them on display themselves
The criticism crossed borders, with Spanish newspaper El Pais running this column this week
CNN, which is not normally particularly charged on the subject, took a firmer stance this morning.
Royal correspondent Max Foster told This Morning hosts Kaitlan Collins, Don Lemon and Poppy Harlow shortly after 6am: ‘There’s a lot more here there was last time,’ referring to the first three episodes of the series.
He repeated the couple’s view that the Royal family was ‘jealous’ of the media attention they received, but said: ‘Of course, this is all entirely from the Sussexes’ view.’
It’s like the Kardashians except boring
Foster urged the Palace to this time issue a response, explaining: ‘There are some really severe allegations here. They have to give some sort of response.’
Spanish newspaper El Pais ran a column this week titled ‘When there’s nothing left to revel.’
‘With their Netflix docuseries, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have added little more than a few extra details about the royal family to their well-known narrative. Just what is their endgame?’ asked writer Maria Porcel.
In his radio show earlier this week, Howard Stern said the pair were acting like ‘whiny little b*****es’.
‘It’s been painful. I don’t — I wouldn’t stay with it, but my wife wants to watch it, so, you know, we have shows we watch, but they come off like such whiny b*****s. I gotta tell you man, I just don’t get it.
Harry and Meghan in the final three episodes of their Netflix show, where they made fresh allegations against the Royal family
The couple shared new photos and videos from their wedding and their private life
Hollywood superstar Tyler Perry gave the couple his mansion to live in, saying he ‘applauded’ their fight for ‘to be love and be free’
‘I feel bad for Prince Harry losing his mother and all that… so you got my empathy there. But Jesus Christ, when those two start whining about ‘wah wah wah, and they don’t like me’ and she wants to be beloved in this country, but man, oh man, you know, it’s just very weird to watch two people who keep screaming, ‘We wanted our privacy, we wanted the press to leave us alone.’ And then what is their special that they put out on Netflix — showing you them and their kids and their life. It’s like the Kardashians except boring. You know what I mean?’
The final three episodes begin with Harry and Meghan’s magical Windsor wedding, but then takes a ‘turn’ into how they were unfairly treated by the Royals and the media afterwards.
Harry describes an intense meeting with King Charles III, Prince William and the late Queen Elizabeth II, during which he claims William ‘yelled and screamed’, and the Queen sat ‘quietly, taking it all in.’
The couple share yet more intimate photos and videos from the multi-million dollar mansion they were loaned by Hollywood superstar Tyler Perry, who also makes an appearance.
Serena Williams is also featured.
Netflix is said to have paid a whopping $100million for a multi-show deal with the couple.
The docuseries is the pinnacle of that partnership.
