When it comes to Harry and Meghan, Duke and Duchess of Sussex, their escape from "the Firm" is an essential part of their modern love story — and the final three episodes of their much-talked-about Netflix docuseries, which premiered Thursday, walk viewers through what made royal life intolerable.
The first half of the series, which quickly generated discussion on social media, analysis by royal watchers and takeaways by the press, offered an intimate look at the early days of Meghan and Harry's romance, the press blitz that followed after their relationship became public, and the tabloid frenzy that accompanied their fairy tale wedding in May 2018 — not to mention the revelation that the couple refer to each other as "H" and "M," which reached peak levels on the cringe scale for even their most loyal supporters.
Netflix, in its usual selective fashion, revealed that the first three episodes of "Harry & Meghan" debuted with 81.55 million hours viewed in the first four days they were available — making it the highest viewed documentary premiere for the streaming platform.
