The documentary starring Prince Harry and Meghan Markle garnered the most attention on Netflix on Friday in both the US and the UK.
The documentary, which debuted on Thursday morning amid a flurry of marketing, has reportedly become Netflix’s biggest show of the year in the UK, according to Deadline.
In an explosive Netflix docuseries that premiered on Thursday, Prince Harry blasted the “feeding frenzy” in the media about his connection with Meghan and criticised his family for failing to protect her and his mother Diana.
The first three instalments of the six-part television series “Harry & Meghan” have been anticipated by the royal family.
The family was mainly spared during the initial airings, but they were nonetheless the target of claims of “unconscious” racial bigotry and that it did not aid Meghan or Diana following her 1992 divorce from Harry’s father Charles, who is now king.
“To see another woman in my life who I love go through this feeding frenzy, that’s hard,” said Harry. “It is basically the hunter versus the prey.”
In reference to his mother, who perished in a vehicle accident in Paris in 1997, Harry, 38, remarked, “The moment she divorced, the moment she left the institution, then she was by herself.”
“Yes, she may well have been one of most influential, powerful women in the world, but she was completely exposed to this.”
Also criticising her family, Meghan said, “It was horrible, but I continued to hold the line, like say nothing,” in reference to their failure to respond to bad press reports about her.
Her spouse claimed that the family disregarded the reports’ racist overtones.
