Prince Harry, Meghan Markle receive yet ‘another slap in the face’ over new doc

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s efforts to be seen as “respected producers” backfired after the duo failed to make their mark with new Netflix documentary on polo.

As per reports, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex started receiving backlash on their documentary the moment they dropped the trailer of show.

Social media critics dubbed the series “cringe and cheesy” after the trailer was released and crushed Meghan’s dreams of being taken seriously as a key “figure in the entertainment business.”

Speaking on the matter, a source told Closer Magazine, “It’s yet another slap in the face for them and it’s difficult, especially for Meghan, not to take it to heart.”

“It’s common knowledge among her friends that she sees herself as a very serious figure in the entertainment business,” they continued.”

“She and Harry have geared their brand around being classy and intelligent,” the insider added. “They want to be seen as respected producers, but it looks as though it’s starting to sink in that this type of project hasn’t done them any favours as far as being taken seriously by their peers.”

The source went on to add that Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, knows that the no matter what she and Harry believes or feels, “perception is everything and now online forums are burning up with people ridiculing them.”

“Truth is, it was pretty much out of their control,” the source noted. “The bosses wanted the series to appeal to the masses and pushed this reality TV slant so it’s not entirely their fault.”
