Prince Harry and Meghan were confronted by a heckler who shouted: "What do you think about destroying the Royal Family?" as they arrived at a New York awards show last night.
Huge crowds had waited in the rain outside the city's Midtown Hilton hotel to catch a glimpse of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex ahead of The Ripple of Hope gala.
As the couple were escorted beyond assembled press who tried to catch their attention ahead of their Netflix docuseries, Harry could be heard saying "so many questions".
But a clip shared to Twitter by ITV journalist Fred Dimbleby captured a heckler shouting towards them in far less uncertain terms.
Others in the crowd - set back from the hotel and red carpet - can be seen trying to film the couple on their phones, with some whooping in support, in the footage.
As Harry steps out of a car, a woman can be heard saying: "That's him! That's him!"
A man says: "Harry, over here!"
Then the heckler jumps in as Harry waits for Meghan to get out of the car with an umbrella.
The couple don't respond to the man, who appears to have an English accent, in the clip and it's unclear if they could hear him.
The man can also be heard saying: "Meghan, you've destroyed the Royal Family!"
The Sussexes were making their first public appearance since the trailer for their docuseries dropped last Thursday.
They were snapped yesterday stepping out of a private jet in NYC before quickly making their way to a car.
They looked relaxed, with Meghan grinning in a pair of large sunglasses, while Harry wore a white shirt with the collar unbuttoned.
The Ripple of Hope awards honour individuals for their charitable efforts, and was hosted by Kerry Kennedy - niece of John F. Kennedy.
The royal pair received an award for their campaigning against "structural racism" and mental health issues.
During the ceremony they were seated alongside Hollywood actor Alec Baldwin.
Later, Meghan and Harry gave an interview on the stage where they spoke about their life since moving to the US and their own experiences with mental health.
The Duchess spoke openly about having suicidal thoughts while 'trapped' in the Firm.
Harry & Meghan - made as part of their multi-million pound deal with the streaming service is due out tomorrow.
The Royal Family are said to be worried it will contain more damaging allegations, in light of the Sussexes' previous TV projects, including their Oprah Winfrey interview last year.
Speaking to the talk show legend, Meghan claimed a member of the Firm had made racist comments about her then unborn son Archie.
The project will reportedly be "utterly explosive", some experts claim.
One source in contact with a Netflix production insider said: “I genuinely think it’s going to be worse than the royals can imagine.
“I’m told that it’s going to be utterly explosive and will be very damaging.”
