Netflix Harry & Meghan viewers call out Duchess over 'offensive' remark

Netflix fans are calling out Meghan Markle for making them 'feel old' over an 'offensive' remark she made in a new documentary series about her relationship with husband Prince Harry. The new series takes a look into why the couple decided to step down as working members of the royal family back in 2020.

The first three episodes of the two-part series, released by Netflix on Thursday, delve into the early days of the couple's relationship, Harry's memories of his mother Diana and the pair's troubled relationship with the national media. In episode three of the series, Meghan opens up about how she struggled to know how to act in the presence of the royal family when she first became part of it.

The Duchess of Sussex said her experience was nothing like how it is represented in The Princess Diaries, the 2001 coming-of-age comedy about an American high school student who discovers she is heir to the throne of Genovia, a fictional European kingdom. In the film, nerdy teenager Mia Thermopolis is trained in royal protocol by her grandmother.
