15 Outrageous Reactions to Harry & Meghan’s Netflix Docuseries Trailer
Yesterday, Netflix released a first look at the Sussex’s’ upcoming docuseries: Harry & Meghan on the same day as Will & Kate’s official visit to America. Some called it an attack on The Royal Establishment; others said it was savage, while some remarked that it was justice well served.
In their own words, their story comes out on December 8, 2022, and will contain six episodes. It will share their love story and the challenges they faced behind closed doors to create the life they wanted for themselves. Here is how the internet responded to their docuseries trailer.
Announcement
“Omid Scobie shared, If tomorrow is Prince William’s Super Bowl, then here’s your Halftime Show…With commentary from friends, family, and historians discussing the state of the British Commonwealth today (and the Royal Family’s relationship with the press), the Netflix series aims to paint a picture of our world and how we treat each other.”

The Blowback
One person replied, “I don’t understand why you have to make it a competition between these brothers. Why can’t you embrace the good that each of them accomplishes for the greater good instead of trying to pit their supports against each other? Isn’t that beneath you?”
I just don’t understand why you have to make it a competition between these brothers. Why can’t you embrace the good that each of them accomplish for the greater good instead of trying to pit their supports against each other. Isn’t that beneath you?

“The funny part is that you think you’re being clever when you’re admitting that Harry and Meghan can’t gin up interest for their garbage whine-fest without trying to piggyback on his brother and sister-in-law. Talk about your own goal. You’re not serving your master and mistress well,” another clapped back.
The funny part is that you think you’re being clever, when actually, you’re outright admitting that H&M can’t gin up interest for their garbage whinefest without trying to piggyback on his brother and SIL. Talk about an own goal. You’re not serving master and mistress well.

A Turn To Tacky?
“Why does Meghan always have to try to grab headlines when other royals highlight their work? So we have tack-fest vs. real royals? I know who I will be watching and reading about,” one said.

“Selling out your family for money is not something to be proud of,” someone shared. Once their “Wetflix documentary is out and his spare me some change book is out, they are done. There is nowhere else to go but into the hole, they dug themselves. And I’m here for it.”

The Timing
“I feel horribly for the people the timing of this latest campaign is going to have the most significant impact on, participants of Earthshot who worked hard to make a difference, to have Harry’s spite take attention away from them”
“That’s very sad and telling on who Harry is,” someone stated. Another added, “Just proved the point. Everything this week has been so carefully planned.”
I feel horribly for the people the timing of this latest campaign is actually going to have the greatest impact on, participants of Earthshot who worked hard to make a difference, just 2 have Harry’s spite take attention away from them. That’s v. sad & telling on who Harry is.

“This tweet is super cringy. By all means, promote the Netflix series. But the swipe at the Earthshot Awards seems to demean the hard work of the award winners. There is a way to cover them all without making them soap operas. That gets fewer clicks, I suppose,” a third agreed.

“Thank you for providing proof that the Sussexes are deliberately trying to sabotage the Earthshot trip. How petty and small. I can’t wait for the numerous lies that will be told in their mockumentary. I love fiction,” replied one.

Excited Reactions
Lucia Princess said, “Good. They deserve to say their side of their story and journey in their own words.” Another excited exclaimed, “I was holding my breath through this and then screamed when she said, ‘Doesn’t it make sense to hear our story from us.’ Thank goodness I work from home. Love it! Thanks, Omid!!!”

Another stated, “It’s evident that centuries of rot and racism in the most dysfunctional royal (sic) family are more than just whispers and stares, with disgraceful revelations every five mins! It’s time they were exposed for who they really are, and I’m getting myself ready for the Sussexes show!!!”
“OMG, I love this so much I cannot even speak. Just beautiful,” replied one. “Dropping this first look while the other two are in Boston. The juiciness of it all, and I’m here for it,” laughed another. “Right?! It’s perfect. I love the subtle trolling of racism and any trolling of white colonizers esp. the monarch,” a third replied.
Right?! It’s perfect.

I love the subtle trolling of racism…..
….and any trolling of white colonizers esp. the monarch.
One fan asked, “Omid. You DO know that people like me only watch the halftime show?” “It’s Omid calling it the Halftime show… because some come for the football, but we all tune in for the halftime show… I’m so ready,” another expressed.

Final Thoughts
“Holy guacamole!!! This is a pure Lucky Number Slevin move. I cannot help but Stan,” someone shared. “I need someone to arrange my funeral, for I am well and truly deceased. This trailer is EVERYTHING,” another stated. Finally, a third commented, “All hell is about to break loose in the U.K., and I’m going to enjoy every second of it!”
