William, Kate US visit: The moment the trailer of Harry and Meghan’s upcoming docu-series was released, controversy erupted over its timing. Many believe the Duke and Duchess of Sussex Harry and Meghan are trying to “disrupt and clash” with William and Kate’s US visit. Royal watcher Hugo Vickers was quoted as saying, “Surprise, surprise, how very boring of Harry and Meghan. But this sort of thing is inevitable. It does sound a bit pretentious what they have produced.”
Harry drops Invictus Games promo
Besides the docu-series trailer, Harry recently also dropped a promotional video announcing the 2023 Invictus Games. It shows himself and his wife Markle facing off in a round of table tennis. This promo was also dropped shortly before William and Kate arrived in Boston. Some royal loyalists compared the upcoming docu-series to The Kardashians. One of them said, “The 60-second trailer contains intimate images, moments and places never before shared — and with raw emotion. It’s hard not to make a Kardashian comparison with the Hollywood vibe.”
Though the release date of the docu-series has not yet been announced, Netflix is expected to launch it later this month.
Prince William and Kate Middleton are currently touring Boston for the Earthshot Prize ceremony, touted as William’s “Super Bowl.” And the teaser of “Harry & Meghan” was dropped when they are in Boston. It shows 41-year old Meghan wiping away tears besides many never-before-seen images of the couple. Meghan says, “When the stakes are this high, doesn’t it make more sense to hear our story from us?”

PR designed to clash with visit
A source said, “If the Sussexes are worried they’ll look diminished and less credible in comparison to the Prince and Princess of Wales’ first overseas tour in this new era, they’ve overplayed their hand with a string of PR announcements designed to clash with Waleses’ visit this week.”
Sources close to Harry and Meghan said, the couple had nothing to do with the timing of the docu-series trailer and that it was decided by Netflix.
US media was not too kind to the royals’ visit and the press coverage of their second day in Boston was interrupted by the Netflix teaser of the documentary on Harry and Meghan.
Meanwhile it was learnt that though William and wife Kate Middleton are visiting the US for the first time in eight years, they have no plans to meet Harry and Meghan Markle.
