'Most hated royals': Gayle King, other media outlets slam Harry and Meghan after part 2 of Netflix docu airs
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: The American media turned cold on Prince Harry and Meghan Markle following the release of the final episodes of their Netflix docuseries. The media no longer sympathizes with the couple after the second installment of the series featured both of them complaining about the press attacks and how the royal family treated the duo. Beginning with the grand Windsor wedding of Harry and Meghan, the final three episodes of the series take forward the track to how the pair was mistreated by the royal family and how the media attacked them.
From accusing the royals of being jealous of the former actress' fame to blaming them for not comprehending their space as a family and the freedom they desired, the final three episodes of 'Harry & Meghan' contained scathing allegations against the royal family. As soon as the episodes dropped on Netflix, headlines and morning news shows heavily criticized the couple's accusations against the Duke of Sussex's brother Prince William.

The allegations were made based on their belief that Prince William never showed acceptance in taking the blame for the presently divided stature of their family. Max Foster of CNN mentioned that the documentary was entirely one-sided saying "Of course, this is all entirely from the Sussexes' view." He added, "There are some really severe allegations here. They have to give some sort of response," urging the royals to respond to the issue.
Kier Simmons' of NBC said, "Goodness me, what is William thinking this morning?'" NBC's Daisy McAndrew reported that the pair took "no responsibility" for their part in the royal family's split. She also said that there is "no way back" from their documentary series. "I kept thinking, what would William and Kate think about these constant revelations and accusations? It's very often when you have a family row, if you want to try to patch it up, you'll take some responsibility. There was nothing of that from Harry and Meghan from how perhaps they might take a little responsibility of how things have gone wrong," said McAndrew while broadcasting from outside Buckingham Palace.
"There can be very little coming back. All these accusations about William behaving badly, William shouting and screaming, William being unkind to his brother," the reporter continued. The couple is becoming "the most hated royals ever," stated the columnist Lee Cohen of Fox News, adding that not even Wallis Simpson and the Duke of Windsor's connections to the Nazis had been such a disappointment to the public.
He wrote, "Like the Windsors before them, the Sussexes have fallen out of favor in Britain for their indecorous behavior. But while the Duke of Windsor let his people down by being irresponsible, he and his wife did not seek the spotlight in any meaningful way. Nor did they exist, as the Sussexes seem to, hell-bent to destroy the monarchy."
During 'CBS Mornings', Meghan's friend Gayle King, who has been supportive of the couple until now, labeled the final episodes 'dicey' before asking Charlie D'Agata, the network's royal correspondent,t "Is it fair to say, shots fired?" She said, "Harry and Meghan said all along they wanted to tell their story, the way they see it. Now they're getting the chance to do it... this does sound very dicey."
Howard Stern talked about the series during his radio show and said that the duo act like "'whiny little b******s". He said, "It’s been painful. I don’t — I wouldn’t stay with it, but my wife wants to watch it, so, you know, we have shows we watch, but they come off like such whiny b*****s. I gotta tell you man, I just don’t get it."
He continued, "I feel bad for Prince Harry losing his mother and all that... so you got my empathy there. But Jesus Christ, when those two start whining about ‘wah wah wah, and they don’t like me’ and she wants to be beloved in this country, but man, oh man, you know, it’s just very weird to watch two people who keep screaming, ‘We wanted our privacy, we wanted the press to leave us alone."
Stern referred to their talk as similar to the "Kardashians except boring". He added, "And then what is their special that they put out on Netflix — showing you them and their kids and their life. It’s like the Kardashians except boring. You know what I mean?"
However, the Associated Press headline read, "Harry, Meghan vent their grievances in final Netflix episodes," taking no particular sides to comment upon. James Long of ABC also did not turn cold on the pair as he said, "It's early days, people are really interested to hear from them. Seeing Meghan hearing how this has impacted her, I think that is landing with people." He continued saying, "There's a big generational divide... the polls say they're very unpopular here but I think among younger people Harry and Meghan are really popular in this country. Overall it's a missed opportunity for Britain."
'Harry & Meghan' is currently streaming on Netflix.
