Prince Harry and Meghan Markle sparked a firestorm of debate across the internet with a series of incendiary claims in the first three episodes of their Netflix series – with a new trailer released today for the second volume coming out this Thursday 

I forced myself to watch all three episodes released thus far on Netflix, ” Harry and Meghan” whilst keeping an open and non opinionated mind,,, and I am sorry to say I found both individuals boring, ineffectual and self serving… not unlike Prince Edward duke of Windsor and his American wife, Wallis Simpson… Harry and Meghan will go down in history just as obscure and desperate as time moves forward as Edward and Wallis did… very sad… – R Catti, New York, United States

 The very system you are complaining about Harry is the very system you are now exploiting to make your money at the expense of everyone else. What on earth are you going to do when this gig ends?  – Jemmel, Australia 

Throwing accusations at a royal family that they KNOW never or rarely comments back is pretty low and cowardly. Hope the money was worth it. – Andy Br, Manchester, United Kingdom

I still don’t get it – wanting privacy and at the same time we now learn that cameras were present almost 24/7 and every little step seams to have been documented (a nice way to say staged) from day one. This is worse than the Kardashians, this is just sick! – swiss lady, brunnen, Switzerland

I started to watch it just to see what all the fuss was about,but it was so slow and boring, that I resorted to watching paint dry instead, – Amber555, Lincoln, United Kingdom 

Waste of time. I already know how it will all play out. Basically they’ll whine and complain about everything and not accept any blame whatsoever. Save your time and read a good book instead. – Abysmally, London, United Kingdom 

For a couple who wanted privacy, they sure do an awful lot of TV appearances. – Billybadman, England, United Kingdom

The name of the game is money, money, money, whoever, whenever, however. Mr & Mrs Self Indulgent are on a one way trip to oblivion, treachery carries a hefty price tag. – Relentless efc, Shrewsbury, United Kingdom 

Lol they complain about their engagement being a reality show but their netflix docuseries is a reality show. So much for privacy…. – Angel95, New York, United States 

Soon they will run out of “truth bombs” and because they’re no longer working/senior royals, they’ll have nothing to monetize or capitalize upon because they’re just commoners. They already look like jealous, mean-spirited perpetual victims. How different they’d be viewed if Harry offered a glimpse into some of the positive aspects of growing up a Prince – and surely there are SOME good memories. Instead, they seem intent on airing grievances, which has become tiresome and preaching to the world, which has shown them to be hypocritical and for which they have no credentials. It’s a shame they couldn’t have appreciated and had gratitude for all their blessings instead of focusing on the negatives. I don’t think they are ever going to be happy. – lyndyb, Lewes, United States 

Harry and Meghan has won the war! The institution should be ashamed of itself. – Tony, Liverpool, United Kingdom 

Meghan is the people’s princess – Cuthbert, Paris, France 

William and Kate may sit on the royal throne but Harry and Meghan are our true king and queen of hearts – tony the terrible, London, United Kingdom 

Standing by his wife regardless of what he stood to lose, whether you like him or not, this is highly commendable and shows strong character – HG, Birmingham  

I’m so proud of the Sussexes for telling their story, especially Meghan. They are proving everyone wrong and that is the best revenge! – crazylove123, Dallas, United States

Love these glimpses of their life they are sharing – MeganisQueenofHearts, London, United Kingdom

They’re two young, normal and wonderful people. I’m so glad for them. I really despise the hatred and vitriolic comments against them. – Sum12luv, Henderson, United States

So brave from those two.. Diana would be so proud! – Bodybuilder4life, UK, United Kingdom
