BBC royal correspondent Nicholas Witchell has shared his thoughts on Harry and Meghan’s new Netflix docu-series, which premiered on the streaming platform on Thursday, December 8. The six-part series, which is called Harry & Meghan and has released three episodes so far, explores why the couple left their royal duties behind.
Whilst chatting about the controversial series on the BBC News at 10, viewers were quick to pick up on Witchell’s disdain for the couple. At one point during the interview with Welsh newsreader Huw Edwards, the 69-year-old royal journalist even exclaimed, “Really?”, when quoting Meghan Markle.
When asked by Edwards for his thoughts, Witchell began: “Well, one thing we can say with certainty is this is a couple who continue to divide opinion very sharply. It is a couple who could not or would not fit into the accepted template of the British Royal Family.”
