British Royal News says that there is a lot of hate watching going on right now. In fact, there’s a new report that says the docuseries Harry and Meghan is breaking Netflix records and in a major way, too. Here’s what you need to know.
British Royal News: Harry And Meghan Is Breaking Netflix Records – 24 Million Views In The UK Alone
According to Deadline, Harry and Meghan have already scored Netflix’s highest UK rating in a year – and that’s only for the first volume. The doc saw a record-smashing 2.4 million views on smart TV devices during its first day on Netflix. The second episode had 1.5 million streams, while the third installment managed 800,000. And just to think, these are just the number from across the pond.
What’s more, Harry and Meghan also managed to beat The Crown Season 5, which generated 1.1 million streams during the first day of its premiere. During the first volume of the series, while the Duke and Duchess of Sussex didn’t make any personal jabs at the royals themselves, they did talk a lot about the supposed ‘invisible contract’ the royals have with the British press, some of the racism that Meghan Markle had endured while she was in the UK and also touched some on Britain’s colonist history. The series called the Commonwealth a “privileged club of formally colonized nations.”
The documentary also hinted that the royal family have long been benefitting from the historic slave trade. Writer Afua Hirsch told viewers: “It’s often said that Britain had a Deep South that was just as brutal, that actually enslaved more Africans than the United States of America did. But that Deep South was the Caribbean.”

During the third trailer, Harry says, “They were happy to lie to protect my brother, but they were never willing to tell the truth about us.”
Meghan also says in the same trailer, “I wasn’t being thrown to the wolves, I was being fed to the wolves.”
Meanwhile, both Prince William and Kate Middleton refused to get wrapped up in all of the Sussexes’ drama and that’s why they ignored the Harry and Meghan docuseries altogether. They are yet to make any comments about the matter.
